The Brutal Truth about climate change is this:  it s much worse, and much more threatening to our future, than the public thinks it is.  In fact, it has scientists scared.  Yet the political response is to work with business and work with Republicans and conservative Democrats like Joe Lieberman to get a passable bill that [...]

WHAT: Results from three initial drywall studies will be released today: 1) an elemental study; 2) a 10-home air monitoring study; and 3) preliminary findings from chamber studies. Produced B-roll of homes with reported drywall problems and inspection of homes with soundbites.

The history of the discovery of global warming/climate change goes back much farther in time than people think. And no, global warming was not invented by  Al Gore.  NASA scientist James Hansen didn t discover it either, despite his 1988 testimony before Congress. Global warming theory has been around for a long time, since before industrialization.  In [...]

This is NaPodPoMo5, the fifth installment of Futurism Now s podcast marathon. Covered in this episode:  Deep-sea Ecosystems Affected By Climate Change. Trees in the desert, say the Sahara, might solve climate change?  Well, it s a plan. Liquid Granite and the hunt for a carbon-neutral cement, Foldable 3D Solar Cells, robot fish and more, in some science and tech [...]

Panic at 2:00 am!   Where is the ice? Utilities Drop Plans for Big Stone II Coal Plant, clearing the way for wind power.   Great news! Al Gore chats about his [...]

This is episode 3 of National Podcast Post Month. The mystery of global warming Skeptics. I don t understand people who deny facts and science do you? Someday, we ll figure it out. Meanwhile, climate change continues to happen, despite whether people believe in it or not. Al Gore s spiritualism theory article is here, George Monbiot s article is [...]

Here are some things you need to know before Copenhagen, just the basics. There will be more basics coming later this week. Start with the UNFCCC website and their facts about climate change. Today s installment of NaPodPoMo #2, my podcasting marathon, is about some necessary background in order to understand some of the future podcasts about [...]

Kicking off NaPodPoMo month, Futurism Now covers environmental and climate justice and EPA news.  Join FN this month while we explore whether a daily podcast can be done  while retaining a semblance of a life. NaPodPoMo stands for National Podcast Post Month . Check out the other ones participating here. Climate justice is about climate [...]

The Superfund Research Program (SRP), in collaboration with the US Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Superfund Remediation and Technology Innovation (OSRTI), presents the final session in the Spring/Summer 2009 edition of Risk eLearning: "Computational Toxicology: New Approaches for the 21st Century." This session, "Computational Toxicology: ToxCast and the Comparative Toxicogenomics Database (CTD)," will indicate the utility of the computational approaches to achieving a better understanding of the potential risks of contaminants. Dr. David J. Dix, Acting Deputy Director of EPA/ORD's National Center for Computational Toxicology will present "ToxCast - Screening and Prioritization of Environmental Chemicals Based on Bioactivity Profiling and Predictions of Toxicity." The objective of EPA's ToxCast research program is to develop a cost-effective and rapid approach for screening and prioritizing a large number of chemicals for further toxicological testing. Using data from high throughput screening (HTS) bioassays, ToxCast is generating data, constructing databases, building computational models and prioritization tools based on the potential human toxicity of chemicals. These hazard predictions will provide EPA regulatory programs with science-based information helpful in prioritizing chemicals for more detailed toxicological evaluations, ultimately leading to more intelligent targeted testing. NIEHS grantee and Mount Desert Island Biological Laboratory investigator, Dr. Carolyn Mattingly, will present "The Comparative Toxicogenomics Database: A resource for predicting chemical-gene-disease networks." The etiology of many chronic diseases involves interactions between the environment and genes that modulate biological processes. The Comparative Toxicogenomics Database (CTD) promotes understanding about the underlying mechanisms of environmental diseases by providing curated data describing relationships between chemicals, genes/proteins, and human diseases. Coupled with custom analysis tools, these data provide the foundation for predicting novel chemical-gene-disease networks.

A Bill Moyers essay on the recent spate of resignations of executive appointees in Washington. Then, there may be a potentially dangerous chemical leaching into our food from the containers that we use every day. BILL MOYERS JOURNAL and EXPOSE: AMERICA'S INVESTIGATIVE REPORTS examine why, even though studies show that the chemical Bisphenol A can cause cancer and other health problems in lab animals, the manufacturers, their lobbyists, and U.S. regulators say it's safe. Also, Jeffrey Toobin, one of the most recognized legal journalists in the country, discusses what the Supreme Court might look like if John McCain is elected President. And, Bill Moyers on the best way to honor our veterans this Memorial Day.
