Photo via US Coast Guard This may seem like a cynical question, but it’s one worth addressing.

photo: Chris via flickr It’s rare that a whaling peace plan falling apart could be a good thing, but for considering that the one being negotiated in Morocco, which would effectively sanction the actions of whaling nations Japan, Norway, and Iceland, would mean that more whales would die, perhaps it’s a good thing.

Image credit:mi2g.com If one side of the deepwater drilling debate denies any serious risk of expanded deepwater drilling – an example of this denial would be the court injunction, just now successfully obtained, overturning the Federal exploratory drilling moratorium in the deepwater Gulf – it is fair and appropriate to state the ultimate potential danger of expanded drilling. From Asymmetric Threats Contingency Alliance, via Mi2g.com , a work-in-progress worst-case risk description concludes with this paragraph: “The danger of loss of buoyancy and cascading tsunamis in the Gulf of Mexico — caused by the release of t… Read the full story on TreeHugger
