Blue and Green: Not even a global one-child policy or a devastating third world war would reduce the human population to sustainable levels, a study has found. The paper, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, concludes that population controls or a global disaster cannot stop the global population reaching 10 billion or more by 2100. A conflict on the scale of the first two world wars would barely register a blip on the population trajectory, while restrictions on the numbers of...

His surveys, carried out on Skomer island in Wales, have provided key information about the wellbeing of the sea birds population around the British Isles and has also produced important insights into the health of our seas. However, the zoologists four-decade-long project is now threatened with closure. The newly formed quango Natural Resources Wales has said it will not continue to fund the 12,000-a-year survey,...
PANIC AMONG SCIENTISTS | Deep rifts remain UN talks on global climate pact

Agence France-Presse: With a 2015 deadline looming large for a global pact on curbing climate change, six days of UN talks closed in Bonn on Saturday with delegates and observers deflated over a lack of progress. Rifts over responsibilities for galloping emissions of Earth-warming fossil fuels remain deeply entrenched, they said, preventing detailed negotiations on a new agreement.
