The 350 team has organized more than 5,200 events in 181 countries around the world. Kelly graduated from Middlebury College with a degree in Geography and Environmental Studies and experience coordinating one of the largest university campus environmental activism groups in the United States. Blynn is currently situated in Washington, D.C.]]> http://www.wind-power-solutions.com/kelly-blynn-activists-not-letting-the-pressure-off-on-keystone-pipeline/feed/ 0 http://news.mongabay.com/2012/0206-hance_rowley_interview.html http://news.mongabay.com/2012/0206-hance_rowley_interview.html#comments Mon, 06 Feb 2012 18:25:00 +0000 Jeremy Hance http://www.wind-power-solutions.com/?guid=00dc678fda16ae5da75c7ce314da45eb In 2009 researchers discovered 19,232 species new to science, most of these were plants and insects, but 148 were amphibians. Even as amphibians face unprecedented challenges—habitat loss, pollution, overharvesting, climate change, and a lethal disease called chytridiomycosis that has pushed a number of species to extinction—new amphibians are still being uncovered at surprising rates. One of the major hotspots for finding new amphibians is the dwindling tropical forests of Southeast Asia. ]]> http://www.wind-power-solutions.com/vampire-and-bird-frogs-discovering-new-amphibians-in-southeast-asias-threatened-forests/feed/ 0 http://news.mongabay.com/2012/0206-hance_wsj_climateoped.html http://news.mongabay.com/2012/0206-hance_wsj_climateoped.html#comments Mon, 06 Feb 2012 14:11:00 +0000 Jeremy Hance http://www.wind-power-solutions.com/?guid=d73bb8c398e5592f0e9695ae63c5f468 http://www.wind-power-solutions.com/wall-street-journal-climate-op-ed-the-equivalent-of-dentists-practicing-cardiology/feed/ 0 http://news.mongabay.com/2012/0206-hance_jellyfish_explosion_not.html http://news.mongabay.com/2012/0206-hance_jellyfish_explosion_not.html#comments Mon, 06 Feb 2012 13:18:00 +0000 Jeremy Hance http://www.wind-power-solutions.com/?guid=345ccc46ce01df998692fb08f5f0db6a Bioscience. Complied by a number of marine experts, the study found that while jellyfish have been on the rise in some regions it is likely due to a natural cycle of jellyfish populations and not a global boom. Researchers, including a number of marine biologists, have warned for years that jellyfish numbers may be exploding due to human activities, such as overfishing, warmer oceans due to global climate change, and the rise of oxygen-depleted, so-called "dead zones."]]> http://www.wind-power-solutions.com/jellyfish-explosion-may-be-natural-cycle/feed/ 0 http://feeds.nytimes.com/click.phdo?i=4598269f699a8677a532dd21c23718c7 http://feeds.nytimes.com/click.phdo?i=4598269f699a8677a532dd21c23718c7#comments Mon, 06 Feb 2012 12:55:43 +0000 By THE NEW YORK TIMES http://green.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/02/06/on-our-radar-a-chinese-challenge-on-airline-emissions/

Looking at a broad range of ecosystems across the Andes in Peru and Bolivia, the study found that 226 endemic species, those found no-where else, were afforded no protection whatsoever. Yet time is running out, as Andean ecosystems are undergoing incredible strain: a combination of climate change and habitat destruction may be pushing many species into ever-shrinking pockets of habitat until they literally have no-where to go.]]> http://www.wind-power-solutions.com/majority-of-andes-biodiversity-hotspots-remain-unprotected/feed/ 0 http://news.mongabay.com/2012/0201-hance_interview_bioticpump.html http://news.mongabay.com/2012/0201-hance_interview_bioticpump.html#comments Wed, 01 Feb 2012 17:36:00 +0000 Jeremy Hance http://www.wind-power-solutions.com/?guid=c089d2c4872987c10aabbc2cf041289b New, radical theories in science often take time to be accepted, especially those that directly challenge longstanding ideas, contemporary policy or cultural norms. The fact that the Earth revolves around the sun, and not vice-versa, took centuries to gain widespread scientific and public acceptance. While Darwin's theory of evolution was quickly grasped by biologists, portions of the public today, especially in places like the U.S., still disbelieve. Currently, the near total consensus by climatologists that human activities are warming the Earth continues to be challenged by outsiders. Whether or not the biotic pump theory will one day fall into this grouping remains to be seen. First published in 2007 by two Russian physicists, Victor Gorshkov and Anastassia Makarieva, the still little-known biotic pump theory postulates that forests are the driving force behind precipitation over land masses. ]]> http://www.wind-power-solutions.com/new-meteorological-theory-argues-that-the-worlds-forests-are-rainmakers/feed/ 0 http://feeds.nytimes.com/click.phdo?i=bdf6b72cc8a5962333602cd43b524d95 http://feeds.nytimes.com/click.phdo?i=bdf6b72cc8a5962333602cd43b524d95#comments Wed, 01 Feb 2012 16:50:47 +0000 By ANDREW C.
