environmental news stories sunday

a quick rundown on some stories that you probably didn't hear on the sunday talking head shows...or in the debate.

 with gas firms entering central California, vineyard owners unsure of fracking effects on land. - gas companies are moving into california's vast central stretches in the hopes of turning the state's monterey shale into the next marcellus shale. and concerned residents are looking for answers - pittsburg gazette post gazette

 climate change emerges as sleeper issue in Senate races. - climate change has become a sleeper issue in a number of Senate races as Democrats attempt to paint their opponents as extreme, based on their views on the issue - the hill

 oceans' rising acidity a threat to shellfish - and humans. - as carbon dioxide continues to build up in the atmosphere as a result of burning fossil fuels, the seas absorb much of it. The full effects have yet to be felt - latimes

 we ignore the environment as an issue at our peril. - our politicians won't get active on this issue until the voters demand it. Voters are understandably more concerned about their problems today (to wit, finding work.) but if they don't start looking they risk being blindsided by the most important issue of all. - scripps howard

climate linked to california er visits. - the risk of heading to the emergency room for certain conditions, such as heart disease, diabetes, stroke, kidney disease and low blood pressure rises slightly as temperature and humidity increase, according to a new study from california - reuters health

 presidential candidates debate science. - the televised presidential debate focused on the economy and domestic policy but ignored important questions about science and the environment. scientific american helps fill in the gap with 14 important science questions answered by each candidate

 mystery of french bees making coloured honey is solved after keepers find m&m waste plant nearby. - since august, beekeepers around the town of ribeauville in the region of alsace have seen bees returning to their hives carrying unidentified colourful substances that have turned their honey unnatural shades - london daily mail

mitt romney’s mention of the beloved muppet isn’t the first time big bird’s name has popped up in an argument over public broadcasting funding. but this time, the mention went viral on facebook and twitter.

the phrase “big bird” was appearing 17,000 times every minute on twitter. at midnight, cnn reported that mentions of big bird on facebook were up an astronomical 800,000%.

facebook later said big bird was the fourth most-mentioned topic on facebook during the debate, getting more attention than topics like jobs, taxes, jim lehrer and obamacare.
…
the trade journal radio and television report said that ed markey, the massachusetts democrat, had a few choice words in august for romney that mentioned the yellow icon.

“a ryan-romney ticket buys admission to a budget match-up where big oil wins and big bird loses,” markey said. “congressman ryan’s budgets protect $40 billion in subsidies for the most profitable oil companies on the planet but would put an end to elmo’s world.”

as for the producers of sesame street, they chose to mostly stay out of the debate controversy.

tmz reported that sesame street released a statement, including the one fact the candidates (and most of america) agree on: everyone loves big bird.

“sesame workshop is a nonpartisan, nonprofit, educational organization. we do not comment on campaigns, but we’re happy we can all agree that everyone likes big bird.”

also on thursday, sesame workshop executive vice president sherrie westin told cnn that big bird isn’t going anywhere, since the workshop receives little pbs funding.
