Douglas County, Colorado, has an eCyle program through which we have disposed of old or broken electronics. It is a great relief to have this program available to us.

Donnelly Deborah Landvik-Fellner's hair started falling out. Then her speech began to slur and her memory grew unreliable, & fainted in a parking lot. Her heart started fluttering, and her hands shook.

In 2006, she filed a lawsuit against Tri-Union Seafoods, parent company of Chicken of the Sea, alleging that the company had vi...olated the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act by failing to disclose that its product contained mercury.

"Toxic tort" cases are notoriously hard to win, and Landvik-Fellner faced long odds against the deep-pocketed industry. That much she knew. What she didn't anticipate was that her biggest obstacle would turn out to be the US Food and Drug Administration—the very agency responsible for protecting the public from mercury in the first place.

Donnelly Ahh, 'climate gate', that was a bit of fun, wasn't it? From being accused of trying to "discredit anyone who disagrees with [our] orthodoxy" simply for reporting that one prominent climate 'skeptic' happens (or happened) to also believe the holocaust was a lie, to Brian being accused of being a 'spin-doctor' for daring... to point out a) that some people believe climate change is a giant conspiracy, and b) asking for the evidence, we've had our fair share of angry comments.

But we're not the only ones that have been examining this event, and Rob Hopkins [of Transition Town fame] has an excellent summary of the lessons we learned from 'climate gate'. I'll give you a clue-'climate change is a hoax' is not one of those lessons. .
