But details on findings were still under wraps. Just yesterday the researchers finally released a report of the marine life found in 25 key areas of the world, with over 10,000 species in… Read the full story on TreeHugger

It's hard to tell which has sunk lower: BP's share price or the prospects for government action on climate change. Despite daily reminders of the growing costs of oil addiction — from blackened Louisiana shorelines to the rapidly melting Arctic — climate change seems to have dropped off global leaders' agendas. The recent G20 declaration paid lip service to the issue, the U.S. Congress seems increasingly unlikely to pass a climate bill this year, and Canada's official policy position is to say “after you” to the U.S. All of which makes British Columbia's approach even more remarkable. On July 1, 2008, B.C. embarked on an ambitious climate policy path; it brought in North America's first ever carbon tax shift. Though praised by environmentalists and economists, the measure was soon met by a host of concerns — that it could increase overall taxes, decrease growth, and hurt low-income families. Some pundits labelled it political suicide, particularly after the resounding defeat of St

‘My mom wrote songs for Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton,’ the Nashville-born pop singer reveals to MTV News. By James Montgomery Ke$ha Photo: MTV News Last month, Ke$ha made headlines ( as she is wont to do these days) when she told Paper magazine that she was considering a move to country music , saying she was “really inspired” by the songs of Johnny Cash and Dolly Parton. On one hand, it did sort of make sense … after all, Ke$ha is from Nashville, and her mom wrote songs for some of the greatest country singers of all time. But on the other, you know, it’s Ke$ha. So, when MTV News caught up with her backstage at the Casio “Shock the World” party on Monday night, we decided to ask her about her future plans, and whether they included a countrified makeover. “I do love country music … [so] one day maybe, who knows. I don’t think I’ll stop singing until I’m dead,” she said. “I’m from Nashville and my mom wrote songs for Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton and Merle Haggard and I just love old-school country music, especially. I relate to it. And I also really like how most country songs tell a story, there’s a lot of storytelling and honesty involved, so I’ve taken a lot of my writing tips from country music … I mean, I’m definitely not done being a rowdy f—ing crazy bitch, but when I’m done doing that, who knows?” And, the way she sees it, the songs she wrote for her Animal album aren’t really all that far from country to begin with. At least when it comes to the whole “honesty” part of things. “The whole record is painfully, brutally honest,” she said. “Like talking about my ex-boyfriend, how he cheated on me. Idiot.” Should Ke$ha go country? Tell us what you think in the comments!

‘Idol’ artists’ albums will now come out on Interscope Geffen A&M. By Kelley L. Carter “American Idol” creator Simon Fuller Photo: Lester Cohen/ WireImage Sony, you’re out. 19 Entertainment and Simon Fuller, the creator behind “American Idol,” have lined up a multiyear deal with Universal Music Group for its Interscope Geffen A&M division to market, promote and distribute “Idol” artists’ albums. The deal with Sony produced hits for Carrie Underwood and Kelly Clarkson, but Billboard.com reports that the chart-topping success for those two acts hasn’t been matched. Reuters reports that the deal is for a minimum of three years. “With ‘Idol’ celebrating our 10th season, I wanted to inject some new power and weight behind our brand,” Fuller said in a statement. “We have been quietly delivering hits relentlessly for nine seasons, and Lucian Grainge and [Interscope Geffen A&M chairman] Jimmy Iovine’s ambition, commitment and determination to push the boundaries and go even further with ‘Idol’ was very compelling. It is exciting to have the world’s biggest show partnered with the world’s biggest music company.” Since the show’s inception in 2001, “American Idol” has sold more music than any other TV show and has moved more than 100 million units in North America and more than 120 million songs on iTunes. “We like delivering hits and new artists,” Grainge said in a statement. “UMG and ‘American Idol’ is the right combination at the right time. Pairing the renowned expertise of Simon [Fuller] and Jimmy in developing and marketing musical talent creates a truly winning combination that will allow ‘Idol’s’ artists to realize their fullest potential.” Get your “Idol” fix on MTV News’ “American Idol” page , where you’ll find all the latest news, interviews and opinions.
