Look at This - Episode 16

Wow, It has been a terrible week for Postgreen blogging. We are ashamed of our performance but promise something really exciting in the next 24 hours to make up for it. Well, “really exciting” might be a bit of a stretch, but we will definitely be giving you something different. So, keep an eye out for that, but first, look at this . . .

• Everyone is talking about it, and I haven’t had the chance to be the first one to tell anyone. I’ve been “scooped” left and right. So, if one of you could pretend not to have heard about MIT’s new solar news, I would appreciate it.
• This device may make you look a little more ridiculous but with cycling outfits being what they are, what difference is a tiny addtional absurdity going to make. Besides, if you are an olympian, this could be the only thing between you and the toxic soup China refers to as “air”.
• Bears, conspiritors in the great climate change cover-up, seek to deter scientists from studying the effects of climate change. Some speculate that these bears are on the oil companies’ payroll but that claim remains heavily disputed. And, who wants to argue with an angry, self-righteous bear?
• As you have probably predicted, the US government has once again decided to ignore science, popular opinion, sensory evidence and basic rational thought in exchange for bribes from lobbyists. It seems that the EPA is due for a name change to something that more accuratley reflects their policies. I’m not sure who or what they are currently protecting, but I rather doubt the environment has anything to do with it.
• Whoa. Um . . . this takes tree-hugging to a whole new level. Keep the volume down if you’re watching at work, or turn it up and freak people out when they bust you watching suggestive tree shots from Green Peace.
