Now that another Earth Day has come and gone, let's look at some environmentalist predictions that they would prefer we forget. At the first Earth Day celebration, in 1969, environmentalist Nigel Calder warned, "The threat of a new ice age must now stand alongside nuclear war as a likely source of wholesale death and misery for mankind." C.C. Wallen of the World Meteorological Organization said, "The cooling since 1940 has been large enough and consistent enough that it will not soon be reversed." In 1968, professor Paul Ehrlich, Vice President Al Gore's hero and mentor, predicted there would be a major food shortage in the U.S. and "in the 1970s ... hundreds of millions of people are going to starve to death." Ehrlich forecasted that 65 million Americans would die of starvation between...

corn ethanol proponents It's renewable, and corn is plentiful in the United States. Burning corn ethanol can cut greenhouse-gas emissions by as much as 20 percent, compared with gasoline. Producing ethanol generates fewer emissions, too. opponents It contains one-third less energy than gas, which means mileage could be up to 30 to 40 percent lower (E-85). Massive ethanol production could cause a shortage of corn available for food and destroy habitat. algae biofuels facts - Microalgae, as distinct from seaweed or macroalgae, can potentially produce 100 times more oil per acre than soybeans -- or any other terrestrial oil-producing crop. - Algae can be cultivated in large, open ponds or in closed photobioreactors located on non-arable land in a variety of climates, including deserts....

ATLANTA - Prison officials around the country have been going to extraordinary and in at least one case, legally questionable lengths to obtain a scarce lethal-injection drug, securing it from middlemen in Britain and a manufacturer in India and borrowing it from other states to keep their executions on track, according to records reviewed by The Associated Press. You guys in AZ are life savers, California prisons official Scott Kernan emailed a counterpart in Arizona, with what may have been unintentional irony, in appreciation for 12 grams of the drug sent in September. Buy you a beer next time I get that way. The wheeling and dealing come amid a severe shortage of sodium thiopental, a sedative that is part of the three-drug lethal injection cocktail used by nearly all 34 death pena...
Thanksgiving table settings might include a new dish this year: the collection plate. The average retail cost of a classic Thanksgiving dinner including turkey, stuffing, cranberries, pumpkin pie and traditional trimmings has increased about 13 percent this year, according to the American Farm Bureau Federation. That means families getting ready to cook the standard dinner for 10 will spend an average of $49.20 this year, a $5.73 price jump over last years average of $43.47. So why is this Turkey Day gobbling up more cash? You can blame it on the bird. Turkey prices are higher this year primarily due to strong consumer demand both here in the U.S. and globally, said John Anderson, senior economist with the farm bureau. The feasts featured fowl jumped more in price this year than any o...
WASHINGTON, Dec. 7, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Dr. Scott Gottlieb, the former deputy commissioner for medical and scientific affairs with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, testified before the U.S. Senate Committee on Finance that small distributors play an important role in helping reallocate drugs to ensure that patients get the treatment they need.

A practicing physician and a resident fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, Gottlieb's prepared statements noted:
ST. LOUIS - A larger corn crop is easing concerns of a grain shortage and could slow food inflation later this year. The U.S. Agriculture Department estimated Tuesday that 880 million bushels of corn will be left over when the harvest begins in the fall, an increase from the previous estimate of 730 million acres.
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -- The United States will likely send less food to Japan in the coming weeks as damage from Friday's earthquake and tsunami makes shipping to some areas difficult and demand drops while people focus on burying the dead and other emergency work, agriculture experts said. It's unclear what Japan will need from America's bread basket in the longer term. The island nation with the world's third-largest economy is typically a top buyer of U.S. grains and meats. It buys more corn than any other country -- nearly 600 million bushels last year to process into livestock feed -- and is a top export market for soybeans, pork and California rice.
