Marsh) Date: Fri Aug 14 17:36:05 2009 Subject: [BCNnet] FW: Oil campaign against climate legislation Message-ID: <2E69E2CDC92E4389BAA220DD79DDDFA1@CLOVER> Global Warming attacks from oil. August 13, 2009 http://www.huffingtonpost.com/ Oil Lobby's 'Energy Citizens' Astroturf Campaign Exposed An internal memo obtained recently by Greenpeace USA details polluting interests' plans to launch a nationwide astroturf campaign attacking climate legislation at public events scheduled throughout the final weeks of recess before the Senate returns to debate the issue in September. The email memo (download a PDF copy), which appears to come from the desk of American Petroleum Institute president Jack Gerard, asks API's member companies to recruit employees, retirees, vendors and contractors to attend "Energy Citizen" rallies in key Congressional districts nationwide in the closing weeks of the August recess. The campaign plan places a special focus on 21 states picked by API for having "a significant industry presence" or "assets on the ground." Taking a page from the playbook of astroturf campaigners currently crashing health care town hall events across the country, API hopes to similarly sully productive communications between Congress members and their actual constituents at public events scheduled for the coming weeks. Gerard states that API is ready to bus in company members and provide logistical support, and reveals that API has retained "a highly experienced events management company that has produced successful rallies for presidential campaigns, corporations and interest groups." Gerard's email states that API is partnering on the rally campaign with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the National Association of Manufacturers, confirming that the groups are staging a coordinated effort to attack climate legislation despite the fact that several prominent members of these groups have stated support for strong Congressional action to combat climate change. Greenpeace sent a letter to Gerard yesterday asking him to verify the authenticity of the email, and pointing out that the plan "runs contrary to several prominent API members' public support for climate action, namely Shell, BP America, ConocoPhillips, General Electric and Siemens." The memo closes with a 'for your eyes only' plea: "Please treat this information as sensitive and ask those in your company to do so as well. we don't want critics to know our game plan." To which Greenpeace responded to Gerard in yesterday's letter, "Game plan known." Here is a list of the "tentative venues" where API plans to hold "Energy Citizen" rallies. If you live in one of the named cities, please email any news or tips you hear about the rallies to us at desmogblog@gmail.com.

Marsh) Date: Mon Aug 24 13:17:15 2009 Subject: [BCNnet] Mother Nature Network - CBCM Story online Message-ID: Bird, interrupted By Divina Baratta, Student Correspondent Wed, Aug 05 2009 at 10:17 PM EST The Chicago Loop can be a nightmare at rush hour. And apparently it's no picnic during migration season either. Just ask a little bird. Tens of thousands of species like this blue-winged warbler will head through town this month on their way to warmer climes. Though many of them won't make it very far. Birds tend to migrate at night, possibly using the stars or magnetic fields as their guide. We have yet to gain a complete understanding of how it happens. But what we do know is that bright lights from skyscrapers seem to throw them off. Like moths to a flame, birds are drawn to the light and either end up striking building windows in confusion or circle the lights to the point of exhaustion. Luckily, with help from volunteers and major cooperation from city-wide building managers, the future is looking a lot brighter. Or, in this case, beautifully darker.
