		<description><![CDATA[A study by Justin Farrell titled Corporate Funding and Ideological Polarization about climate change confirms what many have argued- that behind climate change scepticism and denial is corporate money. These findings are not surprising to many people. Advocacy and environmental groups have exposed this connection before (here, here and here).

Over 2000 fish and 15 species died. An earlier piece I wrote on the environmental crisis is here and here. However, like many official reports, the Fisheries [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[An environmental crisis is unfolding in Perth&#8217;s Cockburn Sound and no one seems to know the cause. A massive fish kill, or localized die off of fish populations is occurring. Over recent weeks, more than 2000 fish, mainly pink snapper and blowfish, as well as marine life up the food chain, including pelicans, seabirds and fairy penguins have been found dead in Cockburn Sound and along its beaches.
