U.N. panel says it's more certain that humans drive global warming
2013-08-21 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
CNN: Scientists are more convinced that human activity is behind the increase in global temperatures since the 1950s, which has boosted sea levels and the odds of extreme storms, according to a leaked draft of an upcoming U.N. report. "It is extremely likely that human influence on climate caused more than half of the observed increase in global average surface temperature from 1951 to 2010," according to a summary of the draft obtained by CNN. "There is high confidence that this has warmed the ocean,...

Leaked IPCC drafts lift confidence in humans' carbon culpability
2013-08-18 17:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: Climate scientists are surer than ever that human activity is causing global warming, according to leaked drafts of a major UN report, but they are finding it harder than expected to predict the impact in specific regions in coming decades. The uncertainty is frustrating for government planners: the report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is the main guide for states weighing multi-billion-dollar shifts to renewable energy from fossil fuels, for coastal regions considering...

New IPCC Report: Climatologists More Certain Global Warming Is Caused By Humans
2013-08-18 08:13:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ClimateProgress: The Fifth - and hopefully final - Assessment Report (AR5) from the UN Intergovernmental Panel On Climate Change (IPCC) is due next month. The leaks are already here: Drafts seen by Reuters of the study by the UN panel of experts, due to be published next month, say it is at least 95 percent likely that human activities chiefly the burning of fossil fuels are the main cause of warming since the 1950s. That is up from at least 90 percent in the last report in 2007, 66 percent in 2001, and...

Worlds first lab-grown burger eaten by humans, tastes like despair
2013-08-05 18:30:30| Extremetech
Breeding and killing cows to eat is not only upsetting to a large number of people, but isn't sustainable in the long-run. In theory, growing meat in a lab is sustainable, and could either replace or work alongside regular cow breeding and eating practices. Now, the world's first lab-grown burger has been cooked, and humans have tasted it.

Harvard creates brain-to-brain interface, allows humans to control other animals with thoughts alone
2013-07-31 13:45:23| Extremetech
Researchers at Harvard University have created the first noninvasive brain-to-brain interface (BBI) between a human... and a rat. Simply by thinking the appropriate thought, the BBI allows the human to control the rat's tail. This is one of the most important steps towards BBIs that allow for telepathic links between two or more humans -- which is a good thing in the case of friends and family, but terrifying if you stop to think about the nefarious possibilities of a fascist dictatorship with mind control tech.
