Not v. controversial, the end opinion is mostly that we should have expected this b/c the winter games require more heat, and fake snow. Not v. focused on what can be done.

Another post about the weird offshore fishery idea.

"The possibility of Gulf of Mexico aquaculture moved another step closer to reality this month. But the small step forward - mainly adding a few rules for the proposed fish farming - caused fishers and environmentalists to once again speak out against an idea they fear will unfairly compete against local fishers and pollute local waters."

Legislation in canada to help fishing makes no ecological sense. (I did not use this for my presentation, but it is messed up enough to post)

Banning the practice of throwing unmarketable or over-quota fish back into the sea is just one of the measures needed to deliver sustainable fisheries according to new research from the University of East Anglia.

I can't link directly to the episode, but the "Why bad environmentalism is such an easy sell" is super interesting. It mostly talks about myths/ propaganda surrounding bad and good environmental decisions. It does not get very in depth about the issues but it covers a lot: bamboo, recycling, the cost of energy efficient cars, and a couple more things.
