Beer, Penguins and Climate

The last week of January brought fewer articles than the week before, but that's okay: I'm already working on at least 10 new articles.

Let's start the link list with my two Extinction Countdown articles for Scientific American, including my most popular article of the week:

New Zealand Farmer Helps Save Rare Penguins from Extinction

Yaks Are Returning to Tibet, but Does Climate Change Pose Further Risks?

In addition, my older articles got a boost from an unexpected source: Cracked.com. That was worth a smile or two.

 Next up, a few new articles for Mother Nature Network, including one article that horrified everyone who read it:

Fracking vs. beer: Does natural gas exploration threaten America's breweries?

RinkWatch: How backyard skaters are monitoring climate change

Bill Gates calls on Europe to fight hunger, despite economic crisis


This coming week should bring two new Extinction Countdown articles, several pieces for MNN, and, if we're lucky, a couple of new technology features. Follow me on Twitter for the latest links as they happen.
