Norway mourns, buries dead, a week after massacre | Reuters: "Jens Stoltenberg mourned in Oslo's main mosque at 6:30 p.m. British time -- the time Breivik detonated a homemade car bomb in Oslo on July 22 -- after attending a memorial by his ruling Labour Party where many clutched red roses.
'Evil has brought out the best in us. Hatred engenders love,' he told the party of the killings that targeted his government and a Labour Party youth meeting on an island near Oslo. Many of the dead were teenagers."

David Suzuki: Natural Gas Is Not a Solution for Climate Change
David Suzuki: Natural Gas Is Not a Solution for Climate Change: "non-climate environmental impacts of gas extraction alone are enough to give us pause. But the natural gas study also concludes that it is not a good way to fight climate change.
To begin, although it is cleaner than oil and coal, burning natural gas still produces greenhouse gas emissions, as does the industrial activity required to get it out of the ground. Greater investments in natural gas development may also slow investment in renewable energy."

Greater investments in natural gas development may also slow investment in renewable energy. Would owners of gas-fired power plants built in the next few years willingly cease to operate them -- or accept the costs of capturing and storing carbon emissions -- as the push for deeper greenhouse gas reductions increases?
The real solutions to climate change lie with conservation and renewable energy, such as solar, wind, tidal, and geothermal power."
