Due to there being few limits on the US President's emergency power, which can be renewed indefinitely, the densely worded 197-page Bill (PDF) is likely to encounter stiff opposition.

The reporters, posing as representatives of a billionaire conservationist, approached officials from pro-whaling countries and offered them an aid package to change their vote. The governments of St Kitts and Nevis, the Marshall Islands, Kiribati, Grenada, Republic of Guinea and Ivory Coast all entered negotiations to sell their votes in return for aid. The top fisheries official for Guinea said Japan usually gave his minister a “minimum” of $1,000 a day spending money in cash during IWC and other fisheries meetings.

300 Million Dollars to Clean Up Agent Orange

Thirty-five years after the end of the Vietnam War, a joint U.S.-Vietnamese panel endorsed a 10-year, 300-million-dollar "plan of action" to deal with the deadly health and environmental legacy of the U.S. military's widespread use of "Agent Orange" during the conflict.
Navajo Commercial Farm Using Genetically Modified Seeds, Despite Global Protests
http://bsnorrell.blogspot.com/2010/06/navajo-commercial-farm-using.html
While Indigenous Peoples protest Monsanto’s genetically modified seeds around the world, the Navajo Nation’s commercial farm, Navajo Agricultural Products Industries, continues to use these seeds for commercial crops.
today the Navajo commercial farm boasts on its website that it plants genetic hybrid corn seed purchased from “Pioneer Seed Company, Syngenta Inc., and Monsanto companies." The commercial farm, NAPI, is located on the Navajo Nation near Farmington, N.M., and grows commercial food crops, including corn for potato chips, along with potatoes, wheat and other crops.
Around the world, Monsanto and genetically modified seeds have meant death for Indigenous Peoples and their crops.
In Bolivia, Navajos joined Bolivian President Evo Morales and Indigenous Peoples from around the world calling for a halt to the use of genetically modified seeds. At the World Peoples Conference on Climate Change and the Rights of Mother Earth in April, the final Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples states:
“We call on States not to promote commercial monoculture practices, nor to introduce or promote genetically-modified and exotic crops, because according to our people’s wisdom, these species aggravate the degradation of jungles, forests and soils, contributing to the increase in global warming. Likewise, megaprojects under the search for alternative energy sources that affect Indigenous Peoples’ lands, territories, and natural habitats should not be implemented, including nuclear, bio-engineering, hydroelectric, wind-power and others.”
In Chiapas, heritage seed-stocks of Indigenous corn are being infected by genetically-engineered corn imported by multinational companies from the United States under the terms of the North American Free Trade Agreement, according to Schools for Chiapas.
In Haiti, farmers are now committed to burning Monsanto’s seeds. Monsanto planned to donate 60,000 sacks of hybrid corn and vegetable seeds to Haiti -- some treated with highly toxic pesticides. Jean-Baptiste, spokesperson for the National Peasant Movement of the Congress of Papay, called the entry of Monsanto seeds into Haiti "a very strong attack on small agriculture, on farmers, on biodiversity, on Creole seeds and on what is left of our environment in Haiti."
In India, thousands of farmers committed suicide after switching from traditional to genetically-modified seeds. They borrowed money on the promise of better crops. When the crops failed, there was no way out. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1082559/The-GM-genocide-Thousands-Indian-farmers-committing-suicide-using-genetically-modified-crops.html
( Iraq's heritage seestocks are destroyed under Bremer's 100 Orders. Africa is rife with farm problems including drought. Canada, the UK and US have expanded their planting of GM seeds. This while farm incomes in Canada are to become ruinous in any case. The starving of our species has scarce begun.

The Gulf Of Mexico Oil Spill Is Making A Lot Of People Really Sick
http://beforeitsnews.com/news/79/952/The_Gulf_Of_Mexico_Oil_Spill_Is_Making_A_Lot_Of_People_Really_Sick.html
If the smell of the oil on some Gulf beaches is already so strong that it burns your nostrils, then what in the world is this oil going to do to our health?
This is an "oil volcano" that is pumping out oil at such high pressure that BP is totally at a loss for how to stop it.In fact, BP’s Chief Operating Officer Doug Suttles recently told CNN that BP’s data indicates that BP can’t cap the leaking oil, or it might cause the well casing to blow out.At least one industry expert is estimating that the oil beneath the surface of the water already covers 40% of the Gulf of Mexico.
“I think these communities are properly concerned,” said Marianne L. Horinko, a chemist who led the Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response at the Environmental Protection Agency in the early years of the George W. Bush administration. The toxicity of oil waste, Ms. Horinko said, “is very concentration-dependent. If you have a sufficient concentration, it will exhibit the characteristics of toxicity.”
Local communities, she said, need to be vigilant that the proper safeguards are applied to ensure that toxic concentrations do not develop.

The media's understanding of its role

NPR's Brooke Gladstone conducted quite a good interview with CNN Senior White House Correspondent Ed Henry concerning Henry's defense of frivolous fraternization between some in the White House press corps and the politicians they cover.
White House adviser David Axelrod was on Meet the Press this weekend and tried -- with total futility -- to explain to David Gregory the concept of holding someone accountable, which is ostensibly the crux of Gregory's job. Leave aside the obvious question of whether the White House is actually doing any of the things Axelrod claims they're doing concerning BP; observe Gregory's complete inability even to understand the concept of arms-length, verification-based accountability (h/t Stuart Zechman):
