While Ann Arbor enjoys near-record highs, and the good folks of Saskatchewan sol­dier on through heavy snow­storms, what better time to tune in to envi­ron­mental radio?

Another strong focus on eco­nomic issues this week. Who knew the envi­ron­ment and the economy were linked?

• Climate change could force mil­lions from homes.
• Nature Loss Dwarfs Banking Crisis
• An eco­nomic crisis is a good time to buy a bike or an elec­tric car.

And some envi­ron­mental sto­ries whose eco­nomic impacts are as-yet unknown:

• A fright­ening new cli­mate pre­dic­tion from James Hansen et al.
• New species of pollution-adapted fish evolve in Lake Victoria.

And the crime beat:

• Environmental crimes on the rise globally
• And in US parks, thanks to gro-op cartels

Sustainable Fish of the Week: the Atlantic Herring (although we’re cur­rently dubious about the Marine Stewardship Council, so careful with that website.)

Next week: A Toxic Tour of Detroit City. Stayed tuned to your environment.
