The careless disposal of toxic pharmaceuticals is proving to be highly destructive, despite reassurances by some that it’s not that big of a deal. The health of the planet and all of its amazing biodiversity is now threatened by the steady poisoning of toxic chemical pharmaceuticals.

The cure for bites from North American coral snakes is about to disappear. Find out why an unprofitable antivenom may end up costing lives.

Two new species of bottom-dwelling “walking” fish have been found in the Gulf of Mexico—right in the path of the Gulf oil spill, experts say.

As CNN is now reporting, the U.S. government has issued a new rule that would make it a felony crime for any journalist, reporter, blogger or photographer to approach any oil cleanup operation, equipment or vessel in the Gulf of Mexico.

It has been reported on CNN that the vast majority of those who worked to clean up the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill in Alaska are now dead. Yes, you read that correctly. Almost all of them are dead.

A rare and endangered species of sea turtle is being burned alive in BP’s controlled burns of the oil swirling around the Gulf of Mexico, and a boat captain tasked with saving them says the company has blocked rescue efforts.

The science around climate change is not as settled as it’s presented as being. I used to think it was, until about 2003 – and then, feeling that the remedies being proposed for climate change would be more damaging to the environment than climate change itself, I took it upon myself to look at the science.

Journalists struggling to document the impact of the oil rig explosion have repeatedly found themselves turned away from public areas affected by the spill, and not only by BP and its contractors, but by local law enforcement, the Coast Guard and government officials.

Some experts—citing traditionally low survival rates for rescued birds—are controversially arguing it would be better to immediately and humanely kill the suffering birds.

Honeybee remains found in a 3,000-year-old apiary have given archaeologists a one-of-a-kind window into the beekeeping practices of the ancient world.

The growing use of mobile telephones is behind the disappearance of honey bees and the collapse of their hives, scientists have claimed.

After the coldest winter in Ireland in 50 years, with temperatures reaching an Arctic -21 centigrade at times, we now find that this spring has now been the coldest in a decade, further collapsing the so called scientific 90% certainty that man is to blame for the weather. Unfortunately the Irish Times again fails to mention the true temperatures as it has always been a corporate propaganda sheet for the globalist warming mongers.

The company insists it’s trying to stop the flow of oil from the well. But if you look at BP’s actions, what they’re really trying to do is siphon off the gushing oil where it can be pumped to a tanker ship and sold as crude. It is a simple matter, by the way, for oil companies to separate water from oil. They do it all the time in oil fields all across America. So if they can siphon off the oil from the Deepwater Horizon well — even if it’s mixed with water — they can sell it for potentially billions of dollars.

Scientists are calling for the long-term risks of GM crops to be reassessed after field studies revealed an explosion in pest numbers around farms growing modified strains of cotton.

The unexpected surge of infestations “highlights a critical need” for better ways of predicting the impact of GM crops and spotting potentially damaging knock-on effects arising from their cultivation, researchers said.

With the incessant buzzing and the threat of a sharp sting, bees are not the easiest of pets.

But record numbers are taking the risk and buying hives anyway – in a bid to save the threatened species.

Beekeeping clubs around the country have reported massive rises in membership in the last year. And experts say the boom is down to a new-found sympathy for bees, so long the enemy of the picnic and children’s summer birthday parties.

Disturbing evidence that honeybees are in terminal decline has emerged from the United States where, for the fourth year in a row, more than a third of colonies have failed to survive the winter.

The decline of the country’s estimated 2.4 million beehives began in 2006, when a phenomenon dubbed colony collapse disorder (CCD) led to the disappearance of hundreds of thousands of colonies. Since then more than three million colonies in the US and billions of honeybees worldwide have died and scientists are no nearer to knowing what is causing the catastrophic fall in numbers.

Drug and chemical giant Bayer AG has admitted that there is no way to stop the uncontrolled spread of its genetically modified crops.

“Even the best practices can’t guarantee perfection,” said Mark Ferguson, the company’s defense lawyer in a recent trial.

Two Missouri farmers sued Bayer for contaminating their crop with modified genes from an experimental strain of rice engineered to be resistant to the company’s Liberty-brand herbicide.

Tens of thousands of passengers across Britain and Europe were grounded today as airports closed or faced severe disruption from a plume of ash caused by a volcanic eruption in Iceland.

All non-emergency flights in the UK will be grounded from noon to six because the after-effects of the eruption have made flying too hazardous, air safety officials said.

Today I received an email from one of my contacts from the Asatruarfelag in Iceland.

A volcano erupted there last week which caused major concern that it would trigger a neighboring volcano to erupt, threatening neighboring homes and surrounding cities. During this time of uncertainty, a few members of the Asatruarfelag decided to travel onto the mountain and hold a blót there, hoping that the positive energy would help prevent the situation from deteriorating. He sent me some incredible pictures they took themselves, which I just couldn’t keep to myself, so I’m sharing them here, with his permission.

Should Scottish wildlife tourism focus on penned-in safari-style parks or be wild and natural?
