According to CNN, Japan's chief cabinet secretary Yukio Edano said: "We do believe that there is a possibility that meltdown has occurred. It is inside the reactor. We can't see. However, we are assuming that a meltdown has occurred," he said of the No. 1 reactor at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear facility. "And with reactor No. 3, we are also assuming that the possibility of a meltdown as we carry out measures."

First Nation chief stands her ground for water and fish www.financialpost.com/First+Nation+chief+stands+ground+water+fish/4350085/story.html"The 47-year-old grandmother is the leader of one of the poorest First Nations in the B.C. interior, where unemployment runs at 60%, the average income is less than $10,000 a year, and survival has been connected for generations to the offerings of forests and waterways like the Nechako River. “I value my fish and water more than I value money,” she said in an interview. “The door is closed.” Chief Thomas is one of the most prominent faces of the 90 First Nations in British Columbia rallying the project, many of them matriarchal communities guided by female chiefs with long memories, long outlooks and big patience."

Bee deaths may signal wider pollination threat: U.N. www.reuters.com/article/2011/03/10/us-bees-idUSTRE7293O820110310"(Reuters) - Mass deaths of bee colonies in many parts of the world may be part of a wider, hidden threat to wild insect pollinators vital to human food supplies, a U.N. study indicated on Thursday. Declines in flowering plants, a spread of parasites, use of pesticides or air pollution were among more than a dozen factors behind recent collapses of bee colonies mainly in North America and Europe, the U.N. Environment Programme (UNEP) said."

‘Small’ Nuclear War Would Cool Globe, Scientists Say green.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/02/28/on-our-radar-small-nuclear-war-would-cool-globe-scientists-say/"Even a “small” nuclear war — one involving only 100 Hiroshima-sized bombs — would cause catastrophic global cooling, reduced rainfall and widespread damage to agriculture, a new report by federal scientists finds. Explosions from the bombs, representing just 0.03 percent of the global nuclear stockpile, would throw approximately five million tons of black carbon into the upper atmosphere, blocking sunlight and causing a plunge in temperature equivalent to a massive volcanic eruption.
