Have I just killed a thread? Or has everyone got something better to do? Please don't mind me...I occasionally come over all mischievous. :) More likely most of your side of the world is asleep, or close to it. ;-) Cheers. |

Lets hope that there are no virus in the melting permafrost that can cause problems for us. 30,000-year-old giant virus 'comes back to life' An ancient virus has come back to life after lying dormant for at least 30,000 years, scientists say. |

People sleep! When they could be here? :) Well do please let me know if I'm ever a contributing factor in that. :) For your convenience :- copy and paste the following B-O ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ B-] Afraid I haven't had a chance to find anything for this hot topic today - but did discover a lot of dust whilst assessing my computer crash. |

People sleep! When they could be here? :) But now I have :) Rising energy prices are taking a chunk out of everyone's budget, and the economic effects have pushed "green" technology into the mainstream. To reduce our dependence on expensive, polluting fossil fuels, a lot of new energy sources are being explored. Wind energy, electric cars, hybrid cars, hydrogen fuel cells, biodiesel, ethanol -- the world of alternative energy can often seem strange and unpredictable. http://science.howstuffworks.com/environmental/green-science/five-forms-alternative-energy.htm There are a couple of tangents to go off on there possibly - but you might feel like going off on some of the other things the site offers - like the top ten doomsday prophecies (and they DON'T relate to climate change - because there are REAL nutters out there) http://www.howstuffworks.com/nature/natural-disasters/10-2012-doomsday-prophecies.htm ...or the car that’s grown organically and emits pure oxygen and will probably never see the light of day. http://science.howstuffworks.com/innovation/inventions/5-awesome-new-inventions-youll-never-hear-about.htm And perhaps finish off with this one... http://science.howstuffworks.com/environmental/earth/geophysics/doomsday-clock.htm which sort of sums us up really. Environmental changes matter... whatever the cause. Have fun - and please be nice to each other! (You don't have to be nice to me if you don't want to - we can see how long my signature lasts) :) oh...and did we say we like humans too? Well we do :) |

Well do please let me know if I'm ever a contributing factor in that. :) Sorry it's not Yellowstone, it's Stonehenge. Stonehenge is like a sacred 'prehistoric glockenspiel', researchers claim |

Dire predictions in the Guardian. Sydney Opera House and Statue of Liberty 'will be lost to sea level rise' Nearly one-fifth of world cultural heritage sites would be affected by global warming of a further 3C, scientists warn. |

Dire predictions in the Guardian. Lady Liberty is over 300 feet high, i'm not convinced a sea level rise of quote: "26-82cm by 2100" is going to do it much harm. Life on earth is the global equivalent of not storing things in the fridge. |

Well do please let me know if I'm ever a contributing factor in that. :) Been there. Fat chance of getting in the middle to test the acoustics nowadays. But an excellent idea! If the company takes off though, I might well be sorry it's not in Yellowstone :) |

[url]Dire predictions in the Guardian.[/url] :) I eat Rice Krispies. Meusli is quite tricky to get out of my beard. :% As for open toed sandals? In this weather? I DO like to read ALL sides of every story where I can though...it helps me to stay confused... and then I use them to line the cat's litter tray much to the cat's satisfaction :) |

Washington D.C. was built on a swamp (do I hear laughing & comments), and will be underwater, no matter what, in the future. HE he he he he. :) Quite a lot of government buildings are... Wonder how long it would take them to notice if they were knee deep in sewage... |

. Climate change: How do we know it is caused by humans and really happen ? the following quote is from NASA The Earth's climate has changed throughout history. Just in the last 650,000 years there have been seven cycles of glacial advance and retreat, This graph, based on the comparison of atmospheric samplesSource: Source: NOAA Certain facts about Earth's climate are not in dispute: Source: http://climate.nasa.gov/evidence/ |

[url]Dire predictions in the Guardian.[/url] STILL awaiting the above NASA co2 Graph Superimposed with the Historical Temperature Graph. Have you tried looking in the Guardian? :) (I can do that for you if you like - save you having to buy sandals :)) Can't temperature rises be quite unpredictable? Like when you're watching a saucepan of milk? Hovers around the level it started out at and then WHOOSH. Perhaps you could ask them. NASA I mean...they might not know you want it. :) oh...and did we say we like humans too? Well we do :) |

Have you tried looking in the Guardian? :) (I can do that for you if you like - save you having to buy sandals :)) I've heard stiletto's are back. Some quite nice strappy ones... Funny thing about ALL the temperature graphs: MOST don't show any rapid rise since the 'Little Ice Age'. Yes... though we apparently haven't seen NASA's yet... we're all waiting for it you see. Whilst we do...I'm thinking that we are a rather large saucepan... Doesn't seem, to MY eyes, co2 matters. Perhaps its all the 'stuff' I used 45 years ago :) :) Could that be the source do you think? :) Wish I'd been there... cos being here... I've found licking an ashtray tastes better than the air outside. :/ Until that changes, or I can find a bucket of sand for my head, I do hope you won't be offended if I bang on about it from time to time :) (reciprocal banging is of course welcome too) oh...and did we say we like humans too? Well we do :) |

I think they are hoping for a free lesson on thermodynamics. I charge $50 per hour for tutoring, so if they want to pay up I'll oblige. :) Would you be covering all four laws in the same hour? I'm pretty much ok with the first and the third (even though they're confusingly the Zeroth and the Second) and the first, being as it were, between them, is what I know I'm quite good at from what I can remember... But the fourth third one is quite challenging... Would fifteen minutes be enough do you think? :) Or instead...I could just throw frustratingly inaccurate stuff around till you start leaking information for free! :) oh...and did we say we like humans too? Well we do :) |
