What's climate change ruining now?: The sex lives of painted turtles -
The sex of these turtles is determined by the
temperature of the nest while the baby turtles
are still egg-bound. The warmer the nest, the
more likely the turtles end up female. The warmer
it gets in the American Midwest, the more painted
turtle society turns into whatever the opposite
of a sausage fest is. Now, depending on your
personal inclinations, you could argue that this
might actually improve turtle sex but it
definitely puts a damper on creating new generations of baby turtles.

Nicko from the Sunlight Foundation sez, “I thought you’d be
interested in a new browser extension and webtool from the Sunlight
Foundation called Churnalism. It extracts article text from any site
you’d like it to run on and compares it against a corpus of press
releases, articles from Wikipedia and much more. If a significant
amount of text from what you’re reading matches something in our
database, an alert banner appears on your browser and you can click
through to see a side-by-side comparison. I imagine every editor
would want to run this on their stories before they
publish!” Churnalism Search (Thanks, Nicko!)
