Photos: screen grabs, ABC One More Tool to Combat this Interminable Oil Spill A month ago I wrote something about Kevin Costner’s machine that can separate oil and water . Back then, most of us thought that the oil leaks in the Gulf of Mexico would soon be plugged and that this disaster would at least stop getting worse.

Images courtesy of Philippe Cousteau There is definitely a trend emerging here: Early mornings seem to be the name of the game. This felt especially brutal since I didn’t arrive in New Orleans until about 1AM and didn’t get to the hotel until about 2AM. Ugh…and I had to get up at 5:30 today to get ready to shoot a standup for American Morning on CNN. The big thing everyone wanted to talk about today was the fact that I attended a congressional briefing on Wednesday where I spoke about my experiences regarding the Gulf Oil Spill….

Photo by psyberartist It’s well known that boats are an affliction for manatees. Practically all of the endangered sea cows bear scars from boat propellers, which are notorious for being a number one killer of manatees. So why don’t they get out of the way of the boats when they hear them coming? The simple answer is that they can’t hear the low frequency sounds made by the boats. A few years ago, we reported that some researchers were working on discovering more about the hearing abilities of manate… Read the full story on TreeHugger

Critics of the legitimacy of Japan’s whaling fleet’s claims that they are conducting scientific research and not just conducting a covert commercial whale hunt have long said that whale meat was being sold on the sly. Now a former whaler–calling himself Kujira-san (Mr. Whale)–has told The Guardian that it was common practice for whalers to take home 5-10 boxes and make a hefty profit.

A portion of the infographic built by The Big Wild Just how much wilderness is left on the North American continent? It doesn’t seem like much as you drive across the US and see almost all urban or suburban developments, or farmland, mining or other ways people have snapped up all the free space. Where has it all gone and is there any left?

Photo by Stefano Unterthiner/Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2008 via Guardian When you look closely, the animal world isn’t really all that different from the human world: From the most basic principals of birth, life, and death, to the need for clean air and water, to the occasional bad hair day — or, in the case of these birds, mammals, and sea creatures, a bad hair lifetime.
