Its not new but is interesting none-the-less. Some guys in the US have been looking at petroleum from air for a while, in their case they use sunlight to drive their reaction. The energy needed to create the petroleum just highlights how amazingly energy dense the stuff is. Would be a good fit with ...

Looks like this year's melt might have drawn to a close now. This chart shows how much it's speeding up now. http://arctic.atmos.uiuc.edu/cryosphere/IMAGES/region.all.anom.region.1.jpg Now it's time to see how quick the ice reforms over the winter. Like 2007 this has really caught climate scientists...

Lol at Peter Lilley, 'this piece is bunkum'....'I stick with the IPCC that summer ice will be here till the end of the 21st century'.....'this is alarmist'....yada yada

Paxman should have told him to look at the NSIDC chart and shut up.

(Reuters) - Sea ice in the Arctic Ocean is likely to shrink to a record small size sometime next week, and then keep on melting, a scientist at the U.S. National Snow and Ice Data Center said on Monday. Reuters Looks like to melt off is accelerating. September ice free N.Pole by 2020 is looking lik...

Every news outlet is bias, the BBC is no exception. For example during the Libyan campaign the Beeb firmly nailed its colours to the mast of the rebels. We were never given a government counterview. Now I'm not saying that Gaddafi was a nice man and that I would have wanted him to stay in power but ...

My prediction is that Inverness will be the new Ibiza.

I'm of the view that we're so fecked that only a major reset of the way the world works will save this place for future generations. ..... People will never change, that's why we're fecked. Agreed, even if we stopped all carbon burning activities IMO it's too late now. We've flicked the earth's hea...

Latest NSIDC chart..... :shock: On track for < 4m km^2 and I can only see the melt loss accelerating year on year. Back in 2007 I thought we'd be ice free by 2015. That's not looking too far out now. The ice melt is absorbing energy and masking temp rises, when that goes I wouldn't be surprised to s...

Ten Billion – a scientist's one-man show on environmental woes – has been an unexpected sell-out hit Stephen Emmott is an unlikely candidate for a star of a sell-out London theatre hit. He currently uses crutches after recently losing a disc in his spine and until last month he had never trod the b...

http://mars-one.com/en/ let me get this straight.. the plan is to permanently maroon some people on a dead planet for a reality TV show. ?!?!?! if this was feasible it should be blocked, just incase there are people dumb enough to volunteer. Sounds similar to what Robert Zubrin described in his 'Ca...

From Wikipedia "About 73 percent of Japan is forested, mountainous, and unsuitable for agricultural, industrial, or residential use.[2][75] As a result, the habitable zones, mainly located in coastal areas, have extremely high population densities. Japan is one of the most densely populated cou...

At this rate the only industry celebrating today will be the makers of printing presses

The system appears to be spinning in on itself faster and faster now.

Good on him. OK, so building the Enterprise might be fanciful but we do need something to inspire us and manned space flight is definitely something that has that ability. Maybe not as grand as building the Enterprise but my hope is to see a man on Mars before I pop my clogs. Space inspires lots of ...
