None of these headlines will matter a bit, though, if two men pursuing a lawsuit in a court in Hawaii turn out to be right. They think a giant particle accelerator that will begin smashing protons together outside Geneva this summer might produce a black hole that will spell the end of the Earth - and maybe the universe. Scientists say that is very unlikely - though they have done some checking just to make sure.

http://www.nature.org/tncscience/misc/art25396.html; Air pollution is substantially harming every major ecosystem type in the northeastern and mid-Atlantic United States -- according to a new report co-written by experts from The Nature Conservancy and the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies.

http://www.prweb.com/releases/The-Nature-Conservancy/Cary-Institute/prweb1123...; No ecosystem type in the eastern United States is free of the effects of air pollution, according to a report released today by The Nature Conservancy and the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies. From streams and rivers to forests and wetlands, air pollution reduces the benefits these ecosystems provide to society, and damages human health and economies. Sulfur, nitrogen, mercury and ground-level ozone not only contaminate the air we breathe, they also enter the soil and water, causing a complex set of problems.
