  • Murdats, on 06/02/2008, -1/+4wow this article front pages with the only comments being spam

    I hate comments that say "front page and only x diggs and y comments" but thats not what this is
    these two spammers are so damn annoying and are hitting every page, so well that they got the top two comments, which just pisses me off.
    Can't wait till they are blocked.
  • MidnightRealism, on 06/02/2008, -1/+4Great article. Invasive species interactions are fascinating stuff, especially since non-natural spread has only really happened extensively in the last five hundred years. Look up information on cane toads in Australia for one example of a non-native species having a nasty effects on indigenous populations.
  • friarcrazy, on 06/02/2008, -0/+1This submission is a bit deceptive. The article focuses more on the need for large scale studies to gather data about how people influence connectivity among ecosystems. Regardless of the misrepresentation of the article, it's still a good read.
  • MidnightRealism, on 06/02/2008, -1/+2I know that you folks usually aren't literate, but try to at least open up the article and see if you recognize certain key words. The ones you posted, for example, aren't anywhere in the body of the linked text.

  • lamarguerite, on 06/14/2008, -0/+0This is a fascinating topic. I agree with the authors that behavioral research need to be given a larger role here. We know from systems theory that behavioral change in one person affects the whole system. That can work in both directions, positive changes as in a more sustainable world, or conversely negative changes as in self-destroying world from increasing emission. My entire green blog is devoted to the exploration of behavioral solutions to global warming. For those of you in the social sciences, I invite you to contribute to the ongoing discussions on La Marguerite: http://lamarguerite.wordpress.com
