What's in the news?

Let's get the conversation started by talking about the news. What are you reading in the popular news media about the environment and how is it influencing how you think and what you do? I seem to be drawn to the articles that talk about what individuals and corporations are doing. It is all important and it is all connected.

It seems to me that newspapers and magazines are devoting more column inches (and ad space) to environmental topics. What do you think? In this week's Newsweek magazine (8/13/07), the cover story is called Global Warming is a Hoax. The article talks about people and organizations that are still skeptical and believe that the science behind climate change is unreliable.

What have you seen in the popular media that got your attention and how did you react? Can we balance science and politics and economics in a global community?
