Republican Energy Plan (cartoon)


Same old same old from the right side of the aisle. As Treehugger columnist, Brian Merchant recently shared, “they are the only major political party of any democracy in the world that gets away with denying climate science.”
Scary.

Here Comes Trouble

Recent news of the habitable planet that circles a star called Gliese 581, and the ensuing article in the Huffington Post, by James Napoli inspired this little cartoon. The news is also reminiscent of one of my favorite children’s books Wump World, by Bill Peet.

Look out Wumps! Here we come!

Obama announced recently that he plans to add solar panels to the White House. I can’t see anyone or anything standing in the way.

Water: Nature’s Wonderdrug–Now with Wonderdrugs! (cartoon)

Water: Nature’s Wonderdrug–Now with Wonderdrugs! (cartoon) — Reposted from Wend Magazine, Twilight Earth, PlanetSave, and Ecopolitology.
Between 2006 and 2007, the Southern Nevada Water Authority in Las Vegas screened tap water from 19 US water utilities for 51 different compounds. The 11 most frequently detected compounds are highlighted in the cartoon and described below.

1.used to treat cardiovascular disease, 2.an herbicide banned in the European Union (still used in the US) has been implicated in the decline of fish stocks and in changes in animal behavior, 3.a mood-stabilizing drug used to treat bipolar disorder, 4.an estrogen hormone blamed for causing gender-bending changes in fish, 5.an anti-cholesterol drug, 6.a tranquilizer used in psychiatric treatment, 7.a painkiller and anti-inflammatory linked to increases in asthma incidence, 8.an anticonvulsant used to treat epilepsy, 9.an antibiotic used against the “Strep” bacteria, 10.a reducing agent used in molecular biology, 11.an antibiotic

Christian Daughton of the EPA’s National Exposure Research Laboratory says that neither this nor other recent water assessments give cause for health concern. “But several point to the potential for risk - especially for the fetus and those with severely compromised health.”

Monsanto Gets Beat–May Lose Beets (cartoon)

Monsanto Gets Beat–May Lose Beets–Reposted from Wend, Twilight Earth, PlanetSave, and Ecopolitology.

A victory for anyone who likes healthy food, soil, and water! Monsanto‘s sour plans for the sweet beet were spoiled as a federal judge banned genetically modified sugar beets.

This is great news and hopefully a large step forward to getting food production back on a less toxic track.

Sugar beet, you are a beacon of hope for your genetically altered veggie brothers and sisters.

U.S. District Judge Jeffrey S. White you are a beacon of hope for humans who eat food and drink water.

Chemicals and Obesity Speeding up Puberty in Girls (cartoon)

Chemicals and Obesity Speeding up Puberty in Girls (cartoon) – Reposted on Wend Magazine’s Greenery Page, Twilight Earth, PlanetSave, and Ecopolitology.

The news that chemicals and obesity causes premature puberty in girls is the latest of thousands of red flags waving high above our food production and consumption status quo. Of course, things are changing, but are they changing fast enough?

Nope. The only thing changing quickly is the level of toxicity in our children.

If Climate Change Was a Dog (cartoon)

“If Climate Change Was a Dog (cartoon)” Reposted from Wend Magazine, Twilight Earth, PlanetSave, and Ecopolitology.

We did know about climate change back in the 50′s, as evidenced by this Frank Capra Video on Global Warming. But even though it was a monster of a dog back then, it was still just a harmless little puppy.

Today, well, it’s different. And I don’t know how much I trust the little man controlling that monster of a dog. I think it’s a female dog too, so it’s safe to say climate change is a bitch, a scary three-headed bitch with a taste for blood!

The biotech and agrochemical industries are KILLING us! Well, atleast they are well aware of that and are working hard to clean up their act.
Oh wait, now I’m not telling the truth…
