New Scientist: TALK about killing two birds with one stone. Every year we ditch millions of tonnes of chicken feathers, and pump climate-altering carbon dioxide into the air. But combine the two in the right way and you can make an otherwise-scarce fertiliser. More than 5 million tonnes of chicken feathers are produced globally every year.

Energy Collective: The World Meteorological Organization reports that, for the first time in human history, atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2) eclipsed 400 parts-per-million (ppm) in the northern hemisphere for the entire month of April.

The first recording of 400 ppm occurred briefly in the spring of 2012 at the National Oceanic and...
US EPA to seek 30 percent CO2 cut in power plant emissions within next 16 years

A spokeswoman...
