Cybercrims Steal Carbon Credits | crime, theft, Internet, phishing, carbon, business | Those who fell for the ploy were directed to a fake emissions registry website with the authority's logo. The scam allowed the cyber-criminals to capture security codes and passwords needed to gain access to company accounts, enabling them to steal carbon permits and resell them through trading accounts registered in Denmark and Britain. The head of the German Emissions Trading Authority, Hans-Juergen Nantke, said the crime was a highly professional worldwide action involving not just the 27 member nations of the EU but New Zealand and Australia. | 20100205 | peek | visit | add/edit |

Placebos Are Getting More Effective. Drugmakers Are Desperate to Know Why. | placebo, pharmaceutical industry, business, psychology, brain, medicine, drug | The roots of the placebo problem can be traced to a lie told by an Army nurse during World War II as Allied forces stormed the beaches of southern Italy. The nurse was assisting an anesthetist named Henry Beecher, who was tending to US troops under heavy German bombardment. When the morphine supply ran low, the nurse assured a wounded soldier that he was getting a shot of potent painkiller, though her syringe contained only salt water. Amazingly, the bogus injection relieved the soldier's agony and prevented the onset of shock. | 20090824 | peek | visit | add/edit |

In Utah, company aims to store energy in air | energy, storage, pressure, air, underground, battery, Utah | A Utah company plans to dig a series of underground caverns that it hopes to one day fill with compressed air, releasing it to generate electricity by turning a turbine and solving one of the most vexing problems facing the clean-energy industry -- how to store power. Under a barren patch of Utah desert, a private-equity group is bankrolling the project to hollow out a series of energy-storage vaults from a massive salt deposit a mile underground. It promises to make a perfect repository for storing energy and, in effect, creating a giant subterranean battery. Energy storage is catching on as a way to make wind and solar power more useful. | 20100207 | peek | visit | add/edit |

Copenhagen - the Munich of our times? | Munich, betrayal, Copenhagen, climate change, pollution, politics, overpopulation | Climate negotiations will never be the same after the Copenhagen climate summit, and the accord reached in the Danish capital may very well prove to be the Munich Agreement of modern times. The document was an appeasement to major polluters that condemns the world to runaway climate change and declares war on our children. The conference in December ended with an "accord", with no legal status and dubious value, as one of its key outcomes. | 20100202 | peek | visit | add/edit |

Burrowing US prairie dogs use complex language | bark, animal intelligence, communication, language, signal | A tiny rodent may have the most sophisticated language of any animal. ... With a single bark, he says, a prairie dog may warn about the type and direction of an encroaching predator, and even describe its colour. If confirmed, that means the chattering rodents communicate in a more complex way than even monkeys or dolphins. | 20100202 | peek | visit | add/edit |
