Keep Our Beaches Free: Vote No on Prop D. Of course, there are more important reasons vote than that. If you live in San Diego County you can check your voter registration status online. And if you’re not sure how much time you have left to register you can check with Google Maps (doesn’t matter where you live, just enter your address).

“It’s horrible to see smoke pouring from wounds in your own country from such a fantastic vantage point. The dichotomy of being on a spacecraft dedicated to improving life on the earth and watching life being destroyed by such willful, terrible acts is jolting to the psyche, no matter who you are.”

Supreme Court to consider climate change rules

A case set to be argued before the U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday signals a growing movement in the U.S. to curb greenhouse gases with government mandates that put a price on carbon dioxide.

The court will hear arguments in a case to determine whether the Environmental Protection Agency should regulate emissions of carbon dioxide as a pollutant. Rulings aren’t expected until next summer.
