Eco-News Roundup: Friday, June 19

Fight disinformation: Sign up for the free Mother Jones Daily newsletter and follow the news that matters.


Lots of Blue Marble-ish news afoot on this Friday. Here’s a sampling:

Side deals! Side deals! Who wants a side deal?: Word has it that Waxman and Markey are desperately chasing after midwestern Dem support for their climate bill. But it doesn’t have to be that way, says Kevin Drum.

Photo of the Day: We’re still at war.

Most CO2 ever: Well, practically. Earth has reached its highest concentration in 2.1 million years. So that means people will probably pay attention to Times Square’s new 70-foot greenhouse gas ticker, right? Not so much.

Excuse me, waiter, there’s a cow in my KFC: Since when is beef a spice?

Fact:

Mother Jones was founded as a nonprofit in 1976 because we knew corporations and billionaires wouldn't fund the type of hard-hitting journalism we set out to do.
