POPSGlobal Warming Legislation Effect on States The preceding is a list of the 50 state-by-state breakouts of the impact the bill would have on jobs and the economy. Lieberman-Warner (S.2191) relies heavily on an unproven technology, capturing carbon and sequestering it. Even with the most generous assumptions " presuming that carbon capture and sequestration is commercially developed in 10 years " the economic costs for the average American are staggering. Under a more realistic scenario, the economic impacts in terms of losses in the job market, losses in household budgets, and higher energy prices will be drastically higher. To make matters worse, there will be inconsequential effects on the environment to show for it, if any. The Senate's leading climate-change bill, while aiming to combat global warming by reducing carbon dioxide in the air, actually poses "extraordinary perils" for Americans and the economy, according to a new study from The Heritage Foundation.

POPSWolf Hunts Will Go On; Judge Denies Injunction Bid
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks, and Idaho Fish and Game Commission maintained that wolf populations would not be endangered by the hunts, and Molloy found this argument more persuasive. “The defendants have offered scientific evidence that no irreparable harm will occur if the 2009 wolf hunts occur in Idaho and Montana,” Molloy stated. “Plaintiffs have failed to offer any contrary evidence. Good news in the bad Although Molloy did not stop the hunts, he did offer some good news for the environmental groups about a broader issue in the still-ongoing lawsuit to restore Endangered Species Act (ESA) status to wolves. It’s likely that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service violated the law when it summarily removed ESA protections for wolves in the Northern Rockies, he wrote.

POPSThe $150 Edge-of-Space Camera: MIT Students Beat NASA On Beer-Money Budget via Jules Crittenden Of course, all this would be pointless if the guys couldn’t find the rig when it landed, so they dropped a prepaid GPS-equipped cellphone inside the box for tracking. Total cost, including duct tape? $148. Launch Two weeks ago, on Sept. 2, at the leisurely post-breakfast hour of 11:45 a.m., the balloon was launched from Sturbridge, Massachusetts. Lee and Yeh took a road trip in order to compensate for the prevailing winds, which could have otherwise taken the balloon out onto the Atlantic, and checked in on the University of Wyoming’s balloon trajectory website to estimate the landing site. Because of spotty cellphone coverage in central Massachusetts, it was important to keep the rig in the center of the state so it could be found upon landing. Light winds meant the guys got lucky and, although the cellphone’s external antenna was buried upon landing, the fix they got as the balloon was coming down was close enough.
