Envirohealth News: Home on the trash heap, and recycle your CFLs!
As the Santa Ana winds begin to die down and Southern Californians take stock of the damages, some in the media are noting the impact that global warming may have on wildfires. In the UK, the BBC asks: Have lessons of Katrina been learnt?
Senator Boxer and Representative Gordon are not pleased that the White House censored expert testimony about global warming. Sections on global warming as a public health threat and global warming vulnerability were removed. Why, I wonder, would the Administration do that?
