CONTENT NOTES:
Behind the scenes, officials and scientists in various governments went into panic mode this September. The problem: a big increase in methane gas has been discovered in the Eastern Arctic.
Russian and American scientists launched a rushed expedition to investigate. Methane can increase warming dramatically.
In Australia, gas frackin is taking over. But there is resistance. Expect a new wave of frackin in the UK, as North Sea gas production plunges 25%.
In America, just one leak into a major watershed, like the Marcellus Shale operation in New York State, could end the industry fast.
Our first major interview is for a new film coming out (just entered into Sun Dance) called "Dirty Lying Bastards". Film maker Craig Rosebraugh went to 14 countries to find oil pollution - from Uganda to the U.S. Gulf.
Rosebraugh's own testing of Gulf shrimp found ten times the amount of allowable toxins, yet the product is sold nation-wide.
Victims of the BP Deepwater Horizon blow-out have trouble getting doctors to treat them, the oil industry is so pervasive.
Oil industry news mainstream media won't report.
Our 2nd feature interview is with coral scientist Peter F. Sale. His new book "Our Dying Planet" goes past the recent death of 20% of all coral, to the "Holocene Mass Extinction Event" - the rapid decrease of species world-wide due to humans.
We need to pay attention. Humans may be on that list.
