2014-05-05 13:12:30| Extremetech
Well, here's a Monday morning doozy: It turns out that drinking the blood of the young and innocent may actually improve your strength and intelligence. Two separate research groups, publishing their results in Science and Nature Medicine today, found that transfusing young mouse blood into old mice can improve their cognitive and exercise capability, significantly reducing two major aspects of aging. This effect should also apply to humans. Yes, vampirism is real.

SMH: The nation`s climate and weather predicting capacity and the jobs of dozens of scientists are at risk if the Abbott government accepts a recommendation of the National Commission of Audit to axe a key program, researchers said. The Australian Climate Change Science Program`s four-year funding of $31.6 million, mostly to the CSIRO and the Bureau of Meteorology, duplicates work by those and other agencies and "should be returned to the budget or allocated to priority areas", the commission said...

LA Times: When a team of researchers from the University of Delaware traveled to Africa two years ago to search for exemplary chickens, they weren't looking for plump thighs or delicious eggs. They were seeking out birds that could survive a hotter planet. The researchers were in the vanguard of food scientists, backed by millions of dollars from the federal government, racing to develop new breeds of farm animals that can stand up to the hazards of global warming. Some climate-change activists dismiss...

Boulder scientists: Planet sees another 1.5 percent boost in greenhouse gases
2014-05-03 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Daily Camera: The combined heating effect of human-emitted greenhouse gases increased 1.5 percent between 2012 and 2013, according to an index maintained by scientists at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in Boulder. The 1.5 percent increase, announced Friday, brings the total increase in such gases added to the atmosphere to 34 percent since 1990. The data is tracked through NOAA's Annual Greenhouse Gas Index, maintained by the Global Monitoring Division of the Boulder-based Earth System Research...

Softpedia: Researchers ready to study the impact of climate change and global warming on Arctic communities Climate change and global warming are really messing up our planet, and odds are that, when it comes to human communities, those in the Arctic will be among the ones hit the hardest by these two phenomena. Although they might not manage to help these people, researchers with the Indiana University, the Montana State University, and the University of Greenland are to at least try and better understand...
