ENN Weekly: October 17th - 21st ENN's editors summarize the most compelling environmental and sustainable economy stories of the week. In the news October 17th - 21st: The many perils of invasive species, a real rat race, a tool-wielding gorilla, and a sultry September. Global Warming a Major Threat to Africa Deadly epidemics. Ruined crops. The extinction of some of Africa's legendary wildlife. The potential consequences of global warming could be devastating for the world's poorest continent, yet its nations are among the least equipped to cope. Rat Race? Rodent 'Razza' Eludes Scientists Think your life is a rat race? Just ask scientists about a rodent named "Razza," who gave a whole new meaning to the phrase during a four-month chase across two deserted islands in New Zealand. Selective Logging May Have Doubled Amazon Damage Damage to the Amazon rain forest may be twice as large than previously thought due to undetected "selective" logging, U.S. and Brazilian forest experts reported Thursday. Canadian Researchers Find Anti-Freeze in Fleas Tiny fleas that survive on fungus found under a blanket of snow contain a unique antifreeze that could have implications for farming or transplant surgery, Canadian researchers said on Wednesday. Greenland Icecap Thickens Slightly Despite Warming Greenland's ice-cap has thickened slightly in recent years despite wide predictions of a thaw triggered by global warming, a team of scientists said on Thursday. Icebox Eyesore Symbolizes Massive Challenge: Removing Katrina Debris The discarded refrigerators have dotted the wealthiest and poorest neighborhoods for weeks like fly-infested tombstones, some sealed with duct tape yet secreting foul odors. Rain-Forest Damage Much Worse Than Thought Loss of trees in the Brazilian rain forest is much worse than had been thought, according to a new study. Losses in clear-cut areas where all trees are removed have been monitored by satellite observations, but those were not able to detect the cutting of individual trees in areas where others are left behind. Mexico Gains Traction in Battle against Tire Dumps Mexico is making headway in a battle to remove mountains of used tires from eyesore dumps on the U.S. border, regarded as fire risks and breeding grounds for disease, authorities said Wednesday. Dutch Windmills at Risk from Climate Change Windmills, one of the Netherlands' trademarks, may go idle because of less wind as a result of climate change, Dutch scientists predict.
