Clinton talks climate change in China
Securing China’s support of global climate initiatives is crucial, because it would be politically impossible for the U.S. to impose curbs on greenhouse-gas emissions unless big emitters like China are willing to cooperate. China already emits more greenhouse gases than the U.S. (although we’re right behind them) and its fast-growing economy means that will just increase. That’s why Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton was in Asia this week persuading the Chinese government to address global warming. Check out the Natural Resource Defense Council’s recommendations for how the U.S. and China should engage on climate change and energy now that there are new opportunities in both countries. EarthShare members work on a range of issues affecting China, including energy efficiency, wildlife conservation and earthquake rehabilitation.
The right start for right whales
At least 32 new North Atlantic right whale calves -- more than ever recorded -- have been observed off the coasts of Georgia and Florida this season. Often struck by ships, only 400 members of this endangered species are believed to exist. EarthShare of New England member charity, the New England Aquarium, has been cataloging right whales using the patterns on the whales' heads since 1980, along with distinctive scars from ship collisions to assemble whale family trees. Many whales are even given names. Read more about the plight of the right whales, read our past news about the effect of sonar on whales, and check out the New England Aquarium’s right whale research – the longest running whale program in the world.

There are a lot of people "talking" about but not real actions towards solutions on the government level, that's where the fix for the problem is really is, IMAO.
