Telegraph: Early humans were less primitive than previously thought, being able to carry out many of same tasks as man, such as making tools and adapting to the environment, researchers have found. Archaeologists had believed hominids like Australapithecus, which lived between four and two million years ago, were less physically and culturally advanced than early man. It was thought early species like Homo Erectus evolved long limbs, a larger brain and the ability to make tools to cope as the African...

PhysOrg: After one of the snowiest winters in recent history, William Philipps will forego the beach to spend the summer studying glaciers at the world's northernmost university. The University at Buffalo geology graduate student and self-proclaimed "nerd who likes rocks" will travel to the University Centre on Svalbard (UNIS) in Norway to collect data that proves the Svalbard-Barents Sea Ice-Sheet's (SBSIS) time of deglaciation - the point when the ice began to melt - is older than its suggested age of...

Telegraph: You have to wonder what they are smoking at Nato HQ, retorted Greenpeace to charges by Anders Fogh Rasmussen, the secretary general of the treaty organisation, that Russia was engaged actively with environmental groups to stop fracking in Europe. And indeed it does seem a bit far-fetched to envisage Putin financing as industry sources were quick to suggest the very greenies he locked up last year. Yet though Nato distanced itself from his allegation the former Danish prime minister...

Lord Stern: climate change risks greater previously estimated
2014-06-16 11:54:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Blue and Green: The risks associated with climate change are greater than previously estimated because the model currently used fails to take into account the latest findings, according to research from Dr Simon Dietz and Prof Nicholas Stern of the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment. Stern conducted a 2006 review looking at the economics of climate change, from a wide range of angles, such as water resources, food production and health. In it, he argues that climate change is the...
