Destruction of Mangrove Forests Increased Devastating Impact of Cyclone Nagris

Thu, 08 May 2008 16:47:00 EDT

PORT ANGELES, WA--(Marketwire - May 8, 2008) - Ewire -- In the wake of the destruction and rising death toll caused by Cyclone Nagris, Mangove Action Project (MAP) is calling for the re-establishment of mangrove buffer zones and coastal greenbelts along affected coastal zones to avert future such disasters.

"This latest disaster in Burma is a grim reminder of other recent natural disasters," said Alfredo Quarto, MAP's executive director, referring to the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami that left over 200,000 dead or missing and the 1999 Super Cyclone that hit the coast of Orissa, India that killed over 10,000. "The force of the cyclone could have been greatly lessened and much loss in life and property damage could have been averted if healthy mangrove forests had been conserved along the coastlines of the Irawaddy Delta," he added.

SoCal Business Leaders: Water Supply Challenge Is a "Once-in-a-Generation Opportunity"

Fri, 02 May 2008 20:56:00 EDT

LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwire - May 2, 2008) - As Southern California prepared for a severe cutback in water deliveries, a coalition of business leaders and former governors urged leaders in Sacramento to promote "aggressive and immediate action" on water supply and infrastructure issues.

Under terms of a federal court decision handed down in August, the Department of Water Resources is cutting its initial allocation for water deliveries in 2008. The initial allocation was already expected to be lower because of dry conditions in the Sacramento and San Joaquin regions, whose rivers feed water from the Sierra Mountain Range to the Sacramento-San Joaquin Bay-Delta and to State Water Project pumps.

Rex Murphy Reality Check

Fri, 02 May 2008 10:40:00 EDT

OTTAWA, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - May 2, 2008) - Last night on CBC's The National, Rex Murphy got his facts wrong on biofuels. Here are the facts. Rex Murphy Myth 1: "Biofuel releases 93 times the amount of greenhouse gas that would be saved..." Reality: Mr. Murphy references a Science magazine article which is inherently flawed, and has been roundly discredited in the academic community. It bases its GHG calculations on 36 billion gallons of ethanol from corn in the U.S. The fact is the U.S. will never make that much corn ethanol. By law, it will max out at 15 billion gallons - the rest will be nonfood derived cellulosic ethanol. So much for Rex's commitment to "rationality and real science."
