		<description><![CDATA[This article about the Sahara being green several thousand years ago gave me a fresh perspective on climate change. It turns out that climate change is, after all, a natural and cyclical process our planet undergoes every few thousand years or so. Deserts becomes forests and vice-versa. Rivers dry out and new ones appear in [...]]]></description>

&#8220;We have to realize that hypoxia is not a local problem,&#8221; said Robert J. Diaz of the Virginia Institute of Marine Science. &#8220;It is a global problem and it has severe consequences [...]]]></description>

Jellyfish stings are beginning to be the song of the canary in the coal mine for our oceans. A rapid increase in jellyfish stings is illuminating a rise in jellyfish populations, which in turn is revealing the damage we’re doing to our oceans through over-fishing, global warming, and pollution.
According the International Herald Tribune, a couple [...]]]></description>

It’s easy and it’s not easy (of course). Instead of just putting your kid’s sandbox bucket on your patio, this is what you’ll need:

		<description><![CDATA[Originally introduced in the early 1970&#8217;s by southerners to control algae blooms in catfish farms, bighead asian carp were washed into the Mississippi River after major flooding in the region starting in the 1980&#8217;s. These ravenous fish have fought their way upstream ever since, causing much concern to a plethora of ecosystems along the way. [...]]]></description>

Yesterday, the Environmental Law Clinic at Stanford Law  School announced that the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in favor of environmental organizations seeking to force the U.S. EPA to regulate ship discharges under the Clean Water Act.

It is shocking to hear that the world’s top 10 rivers are at risk. A freshwater crisis has gone global and the United States is as vulnerable as anywhere else in the world.
