  Are there any federal government investigations into what is causing the deformed amphibians? At the back of my property in the semi-rural town of Randolph, New Jersey there is a very small brook that eventually runs out to a county park. During the summer of 2008 I noticed an unusual change near this brook--all the wild rabbits seemed to have vanished. Also there is quite a bit of plastic and aluminum trash strewn along this brook which was probably thrown by teenagers. Some of the plastic components of the trash probably leach into the ground and the brook causing ecological damage.

  Great podcast! I especially like this cross-disciplinary approach to a scientific phenomenon.

  Who knows, perhaps the human family will soon come to see that we need to care for Earth's ecology the way the self-proclaimed Masters of the Universe among us protect their insatiably greedy interests in the unbridled growth of humanity's soon to become unsustainable global economy.
