The overdue proposal comes after a 2007 petition by various local and national groups to NMFS to list the beluga under the ESA, and on the heels of a formal notice of intent to sue by the Center for Biological Diversity.]]> http://susty.com/press-release-cook-inlet-beluga-whale-to-gain-habitat-protection/feed/ 0 Daily Show: Water Crisis Book ‘Unquenchable’ – Author Robert Glennon (Video) http://susty.com/daily-show-water-crisis-book-unquenchable-author-robert-glennon-video/ http://susty.com/daily-show-water-crisis-book-unquenchable-author-robert-glennon-video/#comments Wed, 22 Jul 2009 03:09:52 +0000 by George Spyros, New York City, USA http://susty.com/?p=7184 Unquenchable: America's Water Crisis and What To Do About It.

The occasion was a recent screening of the film Sea Ghosts which uses the Beluga whales as the "canary in the coal mine" to conveying the environmental consequences that await we humans. Ironically Sea Ghosts was on the same night that the Star Trek movie rebooted its space opera franchise, so we asked Fabien to comment on the disproportionate amount of research dollars being apportioned to space exploration over Earth's oceans. He also touches on some basic concepts for how our everyday actions wind up contributing to the pollution of our oceans and how that comes back to haunt us on our dinner plates. ]]> http://susty.com/fabien-cousteau-ocean-exploration-industry-pollution-toxic-chemicals-beluga-whale-consumer-pbs-video/feed/ 4 Conservation International Screening of the Movie HOME – Part 1 http://susty.com/conservation-international-screening-movie-home-yann-arthus-bertrand-laura-bowling-ci-nyc-video/ http://susty.com/conservation-international-screening-movie-home-yann-arthus-bertrand-laura-bowling-ci-nyc-video/#comments Wed, 03 Jun 2009 05:56:18 +0000 by George Spyros, New York City, USA http://susty.com/?p=6582 Earth From Above) epic film Home held today at the Florence Gould Theater in mid-town Manhattan, we chatted with Conservation International's Head of Marketing and Public Relations Laura Bowling.]]> http://susty.com/conservation-international-screening-movie-home-yann-arthus-bertrand-laura-bowling-ci-nyc-video/feed/ 0 Water-Proof High-Speed Cameras Reveal the World Inside Time and the Tube http://susty.com/water-proof-high-speed-cameras-reveal-world-inside-time-tube-video/ http://susty.com/water-proof-high-speed-cameras-reveal-world-inside-time-tube-video/#comments Tue, 19 May 2009 04:29:43 +0000 by Team Susty, Global http://susty.com/?p=6442 land-locked high-speed cameras super-charging some nature videography on the Discovery show Time Warp, a super-cool super-slo-mo underwater camera developed by German scientist Rudi Deisel was used to shoot a teaser for the BBC’s upcoming South Pacific series.

Feb. 20 (Bloomberg) -- A glitch in satellite sensors caused scientists to underestimate the extent of Arctic sea ice by 500,000 square kilometers (193,000 square miles), a California- size area, the U.S. National Snow and Ice Data Center said.
Put simply, there's more sea ice than we thought so: 1) green thinkers can breathe a sigh of relief that perhaps global warming feedback loops are not as bad as we thought, and 2) anthropogenic climate change deniers can raise a playground cry of "nah-nah-nanna," which loosely translates to "human-caused climate change is a ruse, punks."]]> http://susty.com/arctic-sea-ice-underestimated-satellite-catastrophic-failure-data-good-news-bad-news/feed/ 0 French and British Nuclear Submarines Collided Earlier this Month http://susty.com/french-and-british-nuclear-submarines-collided-earlier-this-month/ http://susty.com/french-and-british-nuclear-submarines-collided-earlier-this-month/#comments Mon, 16 Feb 2009 18:52:58 +0000 by George Spyros, New York City, USA http://susty.com/?p=4010 http://susty.com/french-and-british-nuclear-submarines-collided-earlier-this-month/feed/ 0 Google Earth Adds Time Traveling Feature VIDEO http://susty.com/google-earth-adds-time-traveling-feature-video/ http://susty.com/google-earth-adds-time-traveling-feature-video/#comments Thu, 05 Feb 2009 17:17:20 +0000 by George Spyros, New York City, USA http://susty.com/?p=3882 Google Earth's new functionality allowing users to journey twenty-thousand digital leagues beneath the sea is nothing less than virtually stunning, its new time machine feature may be the show-stealer for environmentally-minded Jules Verns across the planet.]]> http://susty.com/google-earth-adds-time-traveling-feature-video/feed/ 0
