EPA, bees, clouds and other news

- EPA Administrator Stephen Johnson testified in front of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee. He basically said the EPA sees no urgency in regulating carbon dioxide. I'm curious what he'll say when Manhattan starts to flood. But by then the Bush administration will be history (EPA won't Specify Global Warming Plans). Click here for public documents from the hearing.

- What's killing the bees? This story has been everywhere recently, but The New York Times takes a fresh look at it (Bees Vanish, and Scientists Race for Reasons).

- Thin, wispy clouds called noctilucent clouds are becoming more common. Some think global warming may have something to do with it (First Mission to Explore Those Wisps in the Night Sky).

- Carbon monoxide to ethanol. The next energy source? (Carbon Gas Is Explored as a Source of Ethanol)

- Ford Motor's CEO names new senior vice president for sustainability, environment and safety engineering (Mulally Names an Environmental Executive for Ford).

- Mutual fund companies haven't pressued companies to disclose info on the costs of global warming (Funds step away on climate change issues).
