A Different Conservative View on Climate Change: It’s Happening

Posted on July 19, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

One of 52,400 Google images critical of Al Gore and Climate Change The one time I met Jonathan Kay he was rude and arrogant, and he often comes off that way in his column in the National Post.

Like many of us at TreeHugger, he despairs about how the climate change issue has become politicized into a left/right split, but he … Read the full story on TreeHugger

The ‘Eternal Aircraft’ Zephyr Solar Plane Aims for 14 Days in the Air

Posted on July 19, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Photo: Qinetiq Breaking All Kinds of Records A couple weeks ago we wrote about the Solar Impulse , a solar airplane that flew for over 24 hours straight. That was very impressive for an aircraft with someone on board, but compared to the solar-powered Zephyr unmanned aircraft, that’s child’s play. The Zephyr has broken all kinds of records last week by staying in the air for 7 days, and right now it is still flying, trying to get to 14 days of continuous flight without any kind of in-flight ref… Read the full story on TreeHugger

Olivia Munn Strips for Circus Elephants; Another Facepalm Moment for PETA’s Campaign Strategies

Posted on July 15, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment
