Buzzfeeds: the effects of colony collapse disorder and other bee news :: Concerned about the worldwide bee crisis? Introducing Buzzfeeds, a weekly analysis with our resident bee expertIn the past six years, more than 10m beehives have been wiped out from a mystery disease called colony collapse disorder. This destruction has serious implications on worldwide ecology and economy.Of the 100 crop species responsible for providing 90% of food worldwide, 71 are dependent on bee pollination, according to UN estimates (pdf). It's difficult to pinpoint the financial implications of this destruction, but the international body says pollination is worth between $37bn and $91bn, annually.Stories about the declining population and its effect on the environment trickle through the news cycle each week. To bring awareness to these stories and contextualize the issues, we wil...

With food safety bill, U.S. government will spend nearly $1 million per person to prevent food-borne illness deaths :: (NaturalNews) The recently-passed Food Safety Modernization Act, which was passed in order to prevent food-borne illness deaths in the USA, will cost $1.4 billion over the first five years. But nobody thinks about the economics of the issue. How many people are we going to save by spending this $1.4 billion, even assuming it works?To answer that question, let's look at the food illness fatality figures offered by the CDC:&bull; Out of the 5,000 food-borne illness deaths each year in the United States, only 1,809 are "attributable to foodborne transmission" according to the CDC (http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/EID/vol5no5/mead.htm#Table%203).&bull; E.coli, which is often quoted in the big scare stories about food safety, only kills 78 people a year through food-borne transmission (52 plus 26, fro...

The climate change policy discussion I wish Andrew Neil would have on BBC | Dana Nuccitelli :: Discussion Worth HavingTo sum up, there's nothing wrong with having a discussion about what the best climate policy would entail. In fact, this sort of discussion would be constructive and welcome. But it must consider all the available evidence, and it must get the science right, or the policy discussion will be misinformed.The scientific evidence indicates that the climate is warming rapidly due to human greenhouse gas emissions. If we want to avoid dangerous and potentially catastrophic climate change, we need to take major steps to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions. The question is not whether we should slow down our efforts; it's how we can speed them up in the most economically beneficial way. Now that is a policy discussion worth having.Climate changeClimate change scepticismClima...
