Summit Voice: Earths climate is not only changing, its changing rapidly as much as 10 times faster than any other climate shift in the past 65 million years, according to researchers with Stanford University and the Carnegie Institution. The accelerating rate of change will strain terrestrial ecosystems around the world. Many species will need to make behavioral, evolutionary or geographic adaptations to survive, the scientists said, adding that some of the expected changes are already baked into the system....

MEElectronics Air-Fi Runaway Stereo Bluetooth Wireless Headphones with hidden microphone review

I've likened my daughter's treatment of headphones and earphones to the treatment the gorilla gave the American Tourister luggage in that 1971 commercial - only her equipment doesn't hold up to the treatment as well as the luggage did.

Runaway Greenhouse Stage More Easily Triggered on Planets Than Once Thought
2013-07-31 20:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World News: The process by which a planet overheats and enters the uninhabitable phase known as the "runaway greenhouse" stage might occur much more easily than previously thought, according to new research by astronomers at the University of Washington and the University of Victoria. In the runaway greenhouse stage, a planet absorbs more solar energy than it can give off to retain equilibrium and, as a result, the world overheats and its oceans boil, filling the atmosphere with steam. When this happens, the...

Runaway climate change? It's more likely than we thought

Mother Nature Network: Theres been much talk in recent years of climate feedback loops and runaway climate change, whereby the warming of our climate through man-made greenhouse gas emissions triggers further warming in the form of natural responses such as the release of methane and carbon dioxide by melting permafrost or the huge emissions caused by out-of-control wildfires. Respected NASA scientist and vocal advocate for climate action James Hansen has even claimed a runaway climate change scenario could destroy...
Canada: Runaway train is a metaphor for global warning

Montreal Gazette: In the aftermath of the Lac-Mégantic hell, almost all the reform talk is about regulations. There are demands for rules to ensure more workers on trains. To improve the brakes on rail cars. To thicken the shells of tanker cars. This concern for safety is imperative and overdue, Yet it also taking attention away from the underlying cause of the Lac-Mégantic nightmare: Our societys dependence on planet-heating fossil fuel, the product aboard the runaway train. The world needs to tackle this ever-increasing...
