McCall melt links the Arctic eras By Richard Black Environment correspondent, BBC News website, Alaska Air temperature readings were taken manually in the old days Science can be a lonely business. "Sometimes you'd just land and set up your equipment," recalls Carl Benson, "and the pilot sees clouds rolling in and says 'I'd better get out of here, do you want to come with me or do you want to stay'? "So you push the 'plane round so they can take off, and you don't know when you're going to see them again." Dr Benson is one of a band of scientists hardier than most who have spent ...
Japan Mines `Flammable Ice,' Flirts With Environmental Disaster

Dec. 26 (Bloomberg) -- Fifty-five million years ago the world's climate was catastrophically changed when volcanoes melted natural gas frozen in the seabed. Now Japan plans to drill for the same icy crystals to end its reliance on imported energy. Billions of tons of methane hydrate, frozen chunks of chemical-laced water buried in sediment some 3,000 feet under the Pacific Ocean floor, may help Japan win energy independence from the Middle East and Indonesia. Japanese engineers have found enough "flammable ice" to meet its gas use demands for 14 years. The trick is extracting it without damaging the environment. Japan is joining the U.S. and Canada in test drilling for ...

The point in time when current trends may go wildly off the charts--known as the "Singularity"--is now getting serious attention. What it suggests is that technological change will soon become so rapid that we cannot possibly envision its results. Technological change isn't just happening fast. It's happening at an exponential rate. Contrary to the commonsense, intuitive, linear view, we won't just experience 100 years of progress in the twenty-first century-it will be more like 20,000 years of progress. The near-future results of exponential technological growth will be staggering: the merging of biological and nonbiological entities in bio-robotics, plants and ...
Tree Rings Show Earth May Have Global Cycles of Warming, Cooling

WASHINGTON -- An unusually warm period a millennium ago may have been part of a natural planetary cycle, researchers say in a study of tree rings that scrutinizes the link between human activity and climate change. The study, appearing Friday in the journal Science, analyzed ancient tree rings from 14 sites on three continents in the Northern Hemisphere and concluded that temperatures in an era known as the Medieval Warm Period about 800 to 1,000 years afo closely matched the warming trend of the 20th century. In recent years, many climate scientists have said an unprecedented warming spell that began last century and continus is caused by the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect is ...

Novelty theory and "Time Wave: Zero Point" Main article: Novelty theory One of McKenna's most widely-promulgated ideas is known as Novelty theory. It predicts the ebb and flow of novelty in the universe as an inherent quality of time. McKenna developed the theory in the mid-1970s after his experiences in the Amazon at La Chorrera led him to closely study the King Wen sequence of the I-Ching. Novelty theory involves ontology, extropy, and eschatology. The theory proposes that the universe is an engine designed for the production and conservation of novelty. Novelty, in this context, can be thought of as newness, or extropy (a term coined by Max More meaning the opposite of ...

At Last, Chevrolet Unwraps the 2009 Corvette ZR1 By Matthew Phenix EmailDecember 20, 2007 | 9:16:03 AMCategories: Detroit 2008 X09ch_cr011 After innumerable Elvis-style sightings and camo-clad Nürburgring appearances, the 2009 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 has finally broken cover — and quite an animal it is. Picking up where the already pretty amazing, 505-horsepower Z06 leaves off, the scooped-and-spoilered ZR1 packs a supercharged 6.2-liter V-8 with "at least" 620 horsepower and 595 pound-feet of torque (visible through a polycarbonate window in the hood). Power reaches the rear wheels through a new six-speed Tremec manual transmission. Chevy engineers have installed ...

Year of global cooling By David Deming December 19, 2007 Al Gore says global warming is a planetary emergency. It is difficult to see how this can be so when record low temperatures are being set all over the world. In 2007, hundreds of people died, not from global warming, but from cold weather hazards. Since the mid-19th century, the mean global temperature has increased by 0.7 degrees Celsius. This slight warming is not unusual, and lies well within the range of natural variation. Carbon dioxide continues to build in the atmosphere, but the mean planetary temperature hasn't increased significantly for nearly nine years. Antarctica is getting colder. Neither the intensity nor the ...

Gamma Ray Burst Explosion Stuns Astronomers by Mitch Battros - Earth Changes Media A team of astronomers has discovered a cosmic explosion that seems to have come from the middle of nowhere. This very long in duration burst of charged particles is surprising because they are thought to be powered by the death of a massive star---but no star was known to be in the area. The blast was detected on January 25, 2007, by several spacecraft of the Inter-Planetary Network. Observations by NASA's Swift satellite pinpointed the explosion, named GRB 070125 for its detection date, to a region of sky in the constellation Gemini. It was one of the brightest bursts of the year, and the ...

How to Fall 47 Stories... and Live By Noah Shachtman EmailDecember 17, 2007 | 9:32:02 AMCategories: Over the Top Amd_scaffoldingpolice How did Alcides Moreno, a New York City window washer, manage to fall 47 stories -- and live? His brother, Edgar, was up on the same shaky scaffold, and didn't make it. And fifty percent of people who fall a mere "four to five stories die. By the time you reach 10 or 11 stories, just about everyone dies," Dr. Sheldon Teperman tells the New York Post. So he did Moreno survive? The Post has a theory: he was able to cling "to a 1,250-pound scaffold that acted like a surfboard in the sky." Those grappling with why he miraculously ...

About half the size of a football field and 21 stories tall, the largest optical telescope ever constructed will use almost 1,000 mirrors to hunt for exoplanets — and maybe even unlock the secrets of spacetime. How to Capture the Cosmos 1. Collect the Light Starlight hits the 138-foot-wide parabolic PRIMARY MIRROR—an array of 984 hexagonal panels, each one 330 pounds, 4.8 feet in diameter and two inches thick. The panels are so heavy that gravity actually causes them to shift very slightly as the scope moves, so three actuators under each panel flex 10 times per second to keep the mirror properly aligned. The light bounces up to the 20-foot-wide MIRROR A. 2. Reflect ItMIRROR A ...

This not only contradicts earlier assumptions that our physical/mental evolution supposedly stabilized that long ago, but it validates the underlying basis of the Mayan Calendar, a radically different way of understanding time that has only recently come to be understood — and is still outside the mainstream framework of such ...

Galaxy blasts neighbor with deadly beam of energy By Dave Mosher, SPACE.com Posted 1h 39m ago For the first time astronomers have witnessed a supermassive black hole blasting its galactic neighbor with a deadly beam of energy. The "death star galaxy," as NASA astronomers called it, could obliterate the atmospheres of planets but also trigger the birth of stars in the wake of its destructive beam. Fortunately, the cosmic violence is a safe distance from our own neck of the cosmos. "We've seen many jets produced by black holes, but this is the first time we've seen one punch into another galaxy like we're seeing here," said Dan Evans, astronomer at the ...
