November 13, 2008Brown Clouds Dim Asia, Threaten World's Food
 Imagine for a moment a 3-kilometer-thick band of soot, particles, a cocktail of chemicals that stretches from the Arabic Peninsula to Asia," said Achim Steiner, U.N. undersecretary general and executive director of the U.N. environment program. Click to continue reading this article

August 11, 2008Columbus, Indiana 2008 Flood of the Century
 From the evening of June 6 to the morning of June 7 2008, Central Indiana was pounded by severe thunderstorms and heavy rain. Amounts of nearly 11 inches were recorded in some areas. This rain quickly led to record-breaking flooding in some areas during the week after. These storms were produced when strong winds above the ground interacted with an outflow boundary left over from the storms that produced severe weather earlier in the day of June 6. This left the region with too much water, mud and debris, which ultimately resulted in catastrophic damage, destruction and devastation around Columbus, Indiana and its surrounding counties. Across the nation, people learned about the City of Columbus, possibly for the first time. While many didn’t realize there was a Columbus, Indiana, those who live there were experiencing flooding that had not been seen in about 100 years. Travelers stranded by rising, swift-moving floodwaters learned of Columbus as they became stranded on Interstate 65 and roads leading to and from the city. Click to continue reading this article

August 5, 2008Beijing Olympics
With the Beijing Olympics in sight, Chinese authorities have long been working feverishly to give the city an extreme health makeover. In a recent test, Beijing's air failed, again, to meet international health standards and guidelines six out of the seven days tested. Apparently, it is true that desperate times call for desperate measures. Reportedly, Beijing's 17 million residents are now under very limited and restrictive driving, manufacturing and constructing guidelines. These restrictions are all being imposed in an attempt to clean up one very polluted city.It is reported that major construction is to stop, factories are to be shut down and half the automobiles are to be grounded every day until after the Olympics.While the Beijing Environmental Bureau said that the air “will be safe…everyone can be at ease," many athletes, environmentalists as well as authorities from numerous countries attending the Olympics have significant concerns.
