	Nature editorial: ?Scientists must now emphasize...	Climate Progress
	Nature, the highly respected British scientific journal, has an excellent editorial and news story tomorrow on the recent assault on climate science (excerpted below). Taking Nature’s advice, I urge the administration to send science advisor Holdren and NOAA Administrator Lubchenco and Energy Secretary Chu on a media blitz and national tour to explain and emphasize the [...]

	ConocoPhillips chair mocks clean energy advocates...	Climate Progress

	USA Today: Some scientists misread poll data on ...	Climate Progress
	Polling data is misunderstood and misread all of the time.  The public strongly supports action on climate and clean energy legislation, even if it raises their energy bill by $10 a month, but even (lazy) environmentalists are unaware of that. Now it turns out that polling on the science may be equally misunderstood, as USA Today [...]
	Waste Oil Furnace Smoke Checked by P.E.I.	ECO-CAN
	The P.E.I. Environment Department will be testing emissions from waste oil furnaces, following a ban on the burners in southern Ontario. ‘The contaminants in the used engine oil are not in your furnace oil.’— John Bennett, Sierra Club The furnaces use the waste from vehicle oil changes for heating, and there are about 30 of them on the Island, most of them at auto repair shops and trucking companies. The burners were made illegal in southern Ontario because of concerns about what was coming out of the furnace stacks, and going into the air.

	How green is your building?	ECO-CAN
	Buildings are major consumers of non-renewable energy sources and contribute to a rise in greenhouse gases. To reduce the size of that environmental footprint, so-called “green” buildings have emerged with the goal of using minimal energy in both their construction and operation, while also providing a healthier and more satisfactory indoor environment for their occupants.  Several countries and regions have developed green building programs aimed at promoting more sustainable buildings, such as the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) initiative in Canada and the United States.
