Fossils from the mid-Pliocene epoch reveal a far warmer planet with a concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere of only about 5 percent more than exists today, said Harry Dowsett, a U.S. Geological Survey scientist. A reconstruction of the climate 3 million to 3.3 million years ago shows slight increases in CO2 may produce [...]

What happens when your country becomes third world?
Argentina used to be a nice place. Then the usual: populist revolts and strong leaders. Hope and change. This isn’t as easy to understand for people that come from places where things do work.How can I explain this?It’s all a big fat lie, ok?This government ( and the ones we had for the last 20 [...]
Rocks evolve (this rocks)
A landmark scientific study co-authored by a Canadian geologist has identified a sudden explosion of mineral diversity after the emergence of life on Earth, and advanced a “revolutionary” theory that rocks have been evolving – much like plants and animals – throughout the planet’s history. Wouter Bleeker, an Ottawa-based researcher with the Geological Survey of [...]

Society is a storm of stress that can kill you
Managers with hopeless leadership skills seemingly drive men in particular so mad with stress they can send them to an early grave. Tim and the others at Wernham-Hogg paper merchants were more likely to develop heart disease than those who worked with bosses who offer better support, a study has revealed. And if a direct [...]
Media excels in implied slander

So then you see [...]
Huckabee talks sense to Republicans
Those in office, he said, “have to show that they are competent to lead,” whether at the governors’ level or city council. That way, Republicans can point to those people as examples to justify why they should be given a chance in the future. “If we don’t live up to our own principles, then we [...]
