Federal authorities failed to follow through on plans earlier this year to burn away highly flammable brush in a forest on the edge of Los Angeles to avoid the very kind of wildfire now raging there, The Associated Press has learned.
Months before the huge blaze erupted, the U.S. Forest Service obtained permits to burn away the undergrowth and brush on more than 1,700 acres of the Angeles National Forest. But just 193 acres had been cleared by the time the fire broke out, Forest Service resource officer Steve Bear said.
“History clearly proves Malthus, Erhlich and

Oprah's green episode for Earth Day started with chilling footage and description of a giant island of trash -- "The Great Pacific Garbage Patch".
Currently, scientists believe the world's largest garbage

Garbage Patch stretches from the coast of California to Japan, and it's
estimated to be twice the size of Texas. "This is the most shocking
thing I have seen," Oprah says.
Just a month ago, the Natural Resource Defense Council's Kate Slusark blogged here at HuffPost Green about the giant oceanic trash dump:
To give you a little background: Years of bottles, bags,
toys, packaging and plastic trash from all corners of the Earth are

from California and plastic debris from the world over make their way
from land into storm drains, s
OK, I am not a scientist, and I don’t play one on TV. Al Gore is not a scientist either, but he does play one on TV. Although, I do not have a Nobel Prize, I CAN read a chart or two.

Scientists have detected mercury contamination in every one of
hundreds of fish sampled from 291 freshwater streams.
More than a quarter of those fish contained concentrations of
mercury exceeding levels set by the Environmental Protection Agency for

Geological Survey report said.
More than two-thirds exceeded the EPA-set level of concern for fish-eating mammals.
