Former employees and patients describe ethical lapses, shoddy records and worse at cosmetic surgery clinic — raising concerns about oversight in the booming industry
Woman whose allegations sparked others to speak up says Idaho still must do more to create "just and humane" system
The states described the changes as a “death blow” to their homeless services systems
Thank goodness for non-profit journalism again. On the web page of The Tyee is an opinion piece by a Canadian environmentalist with some astounding news about how Canada severely undercounts its contribution to global warming.
The column by Sierra Club campaigner Jens Wieting finds that a huge chunk of the Great White North's greenhouse gas production is not counted and is acknowledged in what amounts to a footnote: the carbon dioxide coming out of Canadian forests because of logging and slash burning.
Wieting closely examines a report catalouging British Columbia's greenhouse gas emissions, although he says the same approach is used at the national level:
emissions from forest land remaining forest land
Normally forests are carbon sinks, places that suck up carbon dioxide. It turns out that emissions from forests are outpacing the uptake because the pine beetle infestation left the forests in such tatters.
Tyee, btw, is a localism for the king salmon. The newsite's motto: "A Feisty One!" And so it is.
