Age: Early next week, hundreds of scientists will meet in Stockholm's Brewery Conference Centre to put the finishing touches on the world's most important climate change document. It is unlikely the beer will be flowing. By Friday the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change will have released the results of its labour - the first part of its fifth major assessment of climate science. There is more evidence than we had before. Its last report, released six years ago, delivered...
Earth will not remain habitable for long, time to find another planet, says new research
2013-09-20 16:07:54| Extremetech
Bad news, fellow denizens of Earth: According to some new astrobiological research, our home planet will not be habitable for much longer. As our Sun gets older, it will get larger and warmer, eventually leading to the Earth becoming uninhabitable -- first to humans and other complex life, and then, in around 1.75 to 3.25 billion years, to all cellular life as we know it. The conclusion of the study is pretty clear: Our time here on Earth is finite, and we better find our way off it sooner rather than later.

Moving forward, what parts of nature should humans preserve? What will the future look like? Will we develop a stable, long-term relationship with technology? These were some of the issues a...

5 ways to hack the planet

Guardian: It's been a week of doom as far as the public face of science is concerned. On Tuesday we had Sir David Attenborough's depressing prognostications that the future is going to be worse for our children and their children (especially if we insist on producing more children in the first place). Now the comments by the astronomer royal, Martin Rees, take the apocalyptic tone to a new level, one which resonates with his medieval title. With a Nostradamus-like gloom, he intimates it may be too late to...
