Human Nature May Seal the Planet's Warming Fate
2015-02-02 19:40:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
LiveScience: Slow changes are the bane of humanity. The metaphor of a frog in a pot being warmed slowly seems quite apt for the way humanity is struggling with global warming. 2014 is now the warmest year in the instrumental record. Even as the global warming hiatus continues and its causes continue to be debated -- record temperature years have occurred during the hiatus, even though globally averaged surface temperatures have shown little change -- the pause is not really a benign blessing to continue with...

Kepler-438b and 442b: Are These the Planets We're Looking For?
2015-01-08 19:51:20| TechNewsWorld
Astronomers have discovered eight new potentially habitable planets beyond our solar system, including two that are the most similar to Earth of any discovered so far. First identified by NASA's Kepler mission, all eight of the planets are located in their distant suns' "habitable zone," or the region where liquid water might exist on the surface of an orbiting planet.

Work begins on Extremely Large Telescope, will be able to image tiny Earth-like planets from light years away
2014-12-05 18:46:39| Extremetech
To seek out new life, and explore increasingly stupid adjectives… The European Southern Observatory in Chile has announced that it will begin construction of the Extremely Large Telescope, a monstrous telescope with a 39-meter (128 feet) main mirror. As the (silly) name implies, the ELT will be by far the largest visible-light/near-infrared telescope in the world,…
Coral Triangle could be last bastion for planet's beleaguered reefs
2014-11-27 15:08:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: If humans are driving earths sixth great extinction event, coral reefs will be one of the first and most visible ecosystems to succumb. Scientists estimate that by 2050, the ocean could be largely devoid of reefs as climate change and our relentless plundering of the sea set in motion geological changes not seen for millions of years. But according to the Catlin Seaview Survey, a multi-year project to map the worlds coral reefs, there may be evidence that certain reefs in the Coral Triangle...
