Scientists say dolphins should be treated as 'non-human persons'
Dolphins have been declared the world's second most intelligent creatures after humans, with scientists suggesting they are so bright that they should be treated as "non-human persons".
The Arctic! The Inuit submission to the UN for COP-15: We've worked very hard to get this video to the United Nations for COP-15. Here it is!!! Ukiutatuq Takuguk! is ready for the world to watch!!! It will be presented in Copenhagen at Denmark's National Gallery this upcoming week. The film features Sheila Watt-Cloutier giving her speech at the Lafontaine Baldwin Symposium held this past spring in Iqaluit and footage from Pangnirtung, Resolute Bay and Igloolik. Enjoy!!!
"The tilting of the earth changes everything": Arguably, the most bizarre, fascinating and perhaps groundbreaking of all observations we've heard from Inuit is that they believe our world has tilted on its axis and this contributes to climate change. Watch the video from Igloolik elder Japiti Palluq talking about the impacts of a tilted earth, and unpack the traditional knowledge and science on this issue. Elders across Nunavut have noticed that the sun and stars have changed their position in the sky. The sun is now rising higher and staying longer than it used to. Importantly, in the far north, you must remember that the sun goes below the horizon for a large part of the year, and therefore Inuit are very familiar with its celestial pattern. Indeed, Inuit we're talking with are telling us stories about how in the old days, during the dark months, they would travel the land by dog team using stars as their navigational tools. So, when Inuit talk about the sun and stars, they do so with an intimate knowledge of these systems.
CREATE YOUR OWN CARBON PIGGY BANK: COMPOST!
According to the Rodale Institute, organic farms that use compost can sequester carbon at a rate of up to 3,200 kg/ha/yr. Under the Kyoto Clean Development Mechanism, cities in the Global South are composting their organic waste (wood, straw, coffee residues, fresh green material and manure) to create carbon credits. Some US cities have also begun municipal composting. San Francisco has the nation's first mandatory composting law. But it's not just farmers and cities, you can compost at home! So, if you haven't already, take your food, lawn, garden waste - even poop - and make your very own carbon piggy bank: COMPOST!
Ribbon In Space: October 15th, 2009: From Dave McComas, IBEX Principal Investigator
Today is the day we have all been waiting for-when the IBEX first heliospheric results and sky maps are unveiled to the scientific community and public audience for the first time! The first results are summarized in five papers published online today by Science Magazine. They chronicle the remarkable discovery of a bright, narrow band of ENA emissions that was totally unpredicted by any previous theories or models and that snakes between the two Voyager spacecraft, but remained totally undetected by either of them. The ribbon appears to be ordered by the external magnetic field in the interstellar medium, which imprints our heliosphere in a very strong, but not yet understood way. In addition, the IBEX team has just published the first ever direct detection of interstellar neutral hydrogen and oxygen, drifting into the heliosphere from the interstellar medium. Together, these truly remarkable observations show just how little we currently understand about the outer reaches of our heliosphere and our place in the galaxy and just how much our Small Explorer mission-IBEX-has to teach us....

Sinkholes Form in Gwinnett Roadways - 27 Sep 2009 - DULUTH, Ga. - There's a brand new weather-related problem in Gwinnett County. A car fell into a sinkhole near the intersection of West Liddell and Club Place in Duluth.
Sinkhole forces closure of major Fort Wayne street - FORT WAYNE, Ind. - Crews are working to repair a large sinkhole that closed a main street near downtown Fort Wayne. The pavement first started buckling Monday afternoon on Spy Run Avenue, which carries northbound U.S. 27 traffic. City spokeswoman Rachel Blakeman says the sinkhole's cause wasn't found as the water and storm sewer pipes there are in good shape. Two other sinkholes caused street closures in Fort Wayne during the spring.
Atmospheric Solar Heat Amplifier Discovered - 09/11/2009 - For decades, the supporters of CO2 driven global warming have discounted changes in solar irradiance as far too small to cause significant climate change. Though the Sun's output varies by less than a tenth of a percent in magnitude during its 11-year sunspot cycle, that small variation produces changes in sea surface temperatures two or three times as large as it should. A new study in Science demonstrates how two previously known mechanisms acting together amplify the Sun's impact in an unsuspected way. Not surprisingly, the new discovery is getting a cool reception from the CO2 climate change clique.

One-Fifth of Fossil-Fuel Emissions Absorbed by Threatened Forests: February 18, 2009 - An international team of scientists have discovered that rainforest trees are getting bigger. They are storing more carbon from the atmosphere in their trunks, which has significantly reduced the rate of climate change.
Otherworldly Solar Eclipse: Feb. 25, 2009 - For the first time, a spacecraft from Earth has captured hi-resolution images of a solar eclipse while orbiting another world. Japan's Kaguya lunar orbiter accomplished the feat on Feb. 9, 2009, when the Sun, Earth and Moon lined up in a nearly perfect row. From Kaguya's point of view, Earth moved in front of the Sun, producing an otherworldly "diamond-ring" eclipse. Click on the link to go to the NASA article source and launch a movie of the event recorded by Kaguya's onboard HDTV camera:
Global food Catastrophe - The world is heading for a drop in agricultural production of 20 to 40 percent, depending on the severity and length of the current global droughts. Food producing nations are imposing food export restrictions. Food prices will soar, and, in poor countries with food deficits, millions will starve. Europe, the only big agricultural region relatively unaffected by drought, is set for a big drop in food production. Due to the combination of a late plantings, poorer soil conditions, reduced inputs, and light rainfall, Europe's agricultural output is likely to fall by 10 to 15 percent....click on above link for the complete report with maps.

Variety of Chemicals Found in Waters Flowing into Lake Champlain - A variety of man-made chemicals has been found in the streams and wastewaters that discharge into Lake Champlain. The chemicals found include pesticides, fire retardants, fragrances, detergent degradates, and caffeine. These findings were released Feb. 12, 2009 by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).
"What we found in the Lake Champlain basin is similar to what has been found in other areas of the United States and Europe where these chemicals have been studied," said Patrick Phillips, USGS hydrologist and lead author of this study. "Some of the chemicals are more common in small urban streams and waters of combined sewer overflows, indicating untreated sewage may be contaminating these waters. Other chemicals are more common in treated wastewater, meaning that they are not effectively removed by wastewater treatment operations," said Phillips.
Kempthorne Launches Initiative to Spur Geothermal Energy and Power Generation on Federal Lands Secretary of the Interior Dirk Kempthorne today announced a plan to make more than 190 million acres of Federal land in 12 western states available for development of geothermal energy resources, an initiative that could increase electric generation capacity from geothermal resources ten times over.
"Geothermal energy will play a key role in powering America's energy future," Kempthorne said, "and 90 percent of our nation's geothermal resources are found on Federal lands. Facilitating their leasing and development under environmentally sound regulations is crucial to supplying the secure, clean energy American homes and businesses need."
Under the development scenario outlined in the plan known as the Final Geothermal Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement the initiative could produce 5,540 megawatts of new electric generation capacity from geothermal resources by 2015. That's enough to meet the power needs of 5.5 million homes. The plan also estimates an additional 6,600 megawatts by 2025 for a total of 12,100 megawatts enough to power more than 12 million homes.
Secretary Salazar Pledges to Restore Trust, Strengthen Tribal Sovereignty, Promote Sustainable Economic Development - Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar today pledged to restore integrity in government relations with Indian tribes, fulfill the United States' trust responsibilities to Native Americans, and work cooperatively to build stronger economies and safer American Indian communities.
"As Secretary of the Interior, I will work hard to empower America's Native American communities by helping address economic development, education, and law enforcement and other major challenges faced in Indian country," Secretary Salazar told members of the Senate Indian Affairs Committee in his first formal testimony to Congress. "I will also seek to resolve the unending litigation about the management of these lands and assets. And I am committed to the settlement of Indian water rights claims."
Glacier and Ice-Sheet Melting, Sea-Ice Retreat and Coastal Erosion Expected as a Result: Temperature change in the Arctic is happening at a greater rate than other places in the Northern Hemisphere, and this is expected to continue in the future. As a result, glacier and ice-sheet melting, sea-ice retreat, coastal erosion and sea level rise can be expected to continue. Taken together, the size and speed of the summer sea-ice loss over the last few decades is highly unusual compared to events from previous thousands of years, especially considering that changes in Earth's orbit over this time have made sea-ice melting less, not more, likely.
Earthquake Fatalities High in 2008: The number of earthquake-related fatalities across the world was much higher in 2008 than in recent years. About 88,070 deaths resulted from earthquake activity worldwide during 2008, according to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and confirmed by the United Nations Office for Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA). This is the largest number of deaths from earthquakes in a year since 2004.
Armyworms wage war on Liberia: Tens of millions of ravenous caterpillars are marching across northern Liberia, damaging crops in the impoverished west African nation. The caterpillars are known as African armyworms. Agriculture Minister Christopher Toe told journalists the worms had devoured crops and plagued some 20 villages, stressing "it was the worst swarm of the insect in three decades." Water supplies are also being contaminated by faeces from the swarms of caterpillars.
U.S. Old-Growth Forests Withering With Warming: The U.S. West's old-growth forests may look quite a bit thinner in the future. A new study suggests these forests could feature fewer and smaller trees, and global warming may be driving the change. "[Tree] death rates have doubled over the last two decades in old-growth stands across the Western U.S.," said Phillip van Mantgem, a U.S. Geological Survey scientist and co-leader of the research team. Forests are losing trees faster than new ones are able to grow, he said. Source
China builds inland Antarctic base Kunlun station to open later this month atop the frozen continent's oldest ice: After a three-week crawl carrying 625 tonnes of cargo towards the highest ice in Antarctica, a Chinese expedition is expected this week to begin building a research base at Dome Argus, or 'Dome A', 4,093 metres above sea level. The station, called Kunlun and scheduled to open on 28 January, will gather data in fields ranging from global climate change to the origin of the Universe.
University of Washington Half Of World's Population Could Face Climate-induced Food Crisis By 2100 ScienceDaily (Jan. 9, 2009) - Rapidly warming climate is likely to seriously alter crop yields in the tropics and subtropics by the end of this century and, without adaptation, will leave half the world's population facing serious food shortages, new research shows.
APPROACHING COMET: Comet Lulin (C/2007 N3), discovered in 2007 by a Strait-bridging team of astronomers from Taiwan and China, is swinging around the sun and approaching Earth. Right now, Comet Lulin is gliding through the constellation Libra in the southeastern sky before dawn. At closest approach (0.41 AU) on February 24th, the comet should brighten to about 5th magnitude--dimly visible to the unaided eye and an easy target for binoculars. The hyperbolic orbit of Comet Lulin suggests this could be the comet's first visit to the inner solar system. How it will react to increasing sunlight is anyone's guess.
NEW-CYCLE SUNSPOT: The first sunspot of the new year has appeared. Sunspot 1010 in the sun's southern hemisphere is a member of new Solar Cycle 24. January 9h - another sunspot is forming in this new cycle!
POWER GRIDS IN PERIL: The National Academy of Sciences has released an important new report detailing how geomagnetic storms could damage the infrastructure of modern society. An area of particular vulnerability is power grids. Ground currents induced during century-class storms can actually melt the copper windings of huge, multi-ton transformers at the heart of some power distribution systems. Because modern power grids are interconnected, a cascade of failures could sweep across the country, rapidly cutting power to tens or even hundreds of millions of people:
According to the report, "impacts would be felt on interdependent infrastructures with, for example, potable water distribution affected within several hours; perishable foods and medications lost in 12-24 hours; immediate or eventual loss of heating/air conditioning, sewage disposal, phone service, transportation, fuel resupply and so on." Melted transformers can take months to repair or replace--so a single extreme storm could make itself felt long after solar activity subsides. Nothing, it seems, is immune from space weather. (audio)

Black hole confirmed in Milky Way
BBC News: There is a giant black hole at the centre of our galaxy, a 16-year study by German astronomers has confirmed. The black hole, said to be 27,000 light years from Earth, is four million times bigger than the Sun, according to the paper in The Astrophysical Journal. Black holes are objects whose gravity is so great that nothing - including light - can escape them. According to Dr Robert Massey, of the Royal Astronomical Society (RAS), the results suggest that galaxies form around giant black holes in the way that a pearl forms around grit.

Mini
nuclear plants to power 20,000 homes Sunday November 9 2008 Shed-size
reactors for communities: Nuclear power plants smaller than a garden shed
and able to power 20,000 homes will be on sale within five years, say scientists
at Los Alamos, the US government laboratory which developed the first atomic
bomb. The miniature reactors will be factory-sealed, contain no weapons-grade
material, have no moving parts and will be nearly impossible to steal because
they will be encased in concrete and buried underground. The US government
has licensed the technology to Hyperion, a New Mexico-based company which
said last week that it has taken its first firm orders and plans to start
mass production within five years. 'Our goal is to generate electricity
for 10 cents a watt anywhere in the world,' said John Deal, chief executive
of Hyperion...Toshiba is also working on its own mini nuclear reactor, the
"4S", which the company says stands for "super-safe, small,
and simple". The 4S is based on a smaller 10 MW design that can last
30-40 years before refueling. http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=13389

Yosemite glacier on thin ice Sunday, Oct. 19, 2008
As signals of climate change begin to come into focus in the Sierra Nevada,
its melting glaciers spell trouble in bold font. Not only are they in-your-face
barometers of global warming, they also reflect what scientists are beginning
to uncover: that the Sierra snowpack - the source of 65 percent of California's
water - is dwindling, too. More of the Sierra's precipitation is falling
as rain instead of snow, studies show, and the snow that blankets the range
in winter is running off earlier in the spring. And snow in the Sierra touches
everything. Take it away and droughts deepen, ski areas go bust and fire
seasons rage longer. Some glaciers already have melted away, including the
first Sierra glacier discovered in Yosemite by John Muir in 1871. Today,
the remaining 100 or so are withering, including Lyell, the second-largest,
which could be gone inside a century.
WASHINGTON (AP) - Worldwide man-made emissions of carbon dioxide - the main gas that causes global warming - jumped 3 percent last year, international scientists said Thursday. That means the world is spewing more carbon dioxide than the worst case scenario forecast by a Nobel Prize-winning group of international scientists in 2007. Scientists said if the trend does not stop, it puts the world potentially on track for the highest predicted rises in temperature and sea level.
Santa Ana Wind Ingnite Wildfire in LOS ANGELES & the SAN FERNANDO VALLEY, California -- A fire that has burned more than 3,500 acres in the Angeles National Forest flared up Monday with the arrival of strong Santa Ana winds, burning mobile homes and industrial buildings and forcing the evacuation of eight patients from a nearby hospital. The blaze, 20 miles north of downtown Los Angeles, began Sunday and was calm overnight, but flared up early Monday when winds gusting to 65 mph moved in.

The sea ice covering the Arctic Ocean has shrunk to the second smallest area on record, despite 2008's "natural" summer conditions. The ice may disappear in the summer within a couple of decades, experts say. This has scientists concerned-and not just because the ice melt is a symptom of global warming. Sea ice has a cooling effect by reflecting sunlight back into space. So when the ice shrinks and opens up more ocean, more of the sun's heat is soaked up by the dark sea. This heats up the Arctic-and the planet-more than the greenhouse effect on its own, in turn melting even more ice...

by F. William Engdahl Bill Gates, Rockefeller and the GMO giants know something we don't? No project is more interesting at the moment than a curious project in one of the world's most remote spots, Svalbard. Bill Gates is investing millions in a seed bank on the Barents Sea near the Arctic Ocean, some 1,100 kilometers from the North Pole. Gates along with the Rockefeller Foundation, Monsanto Corporation, Syngenta Foundation and the Government of Norway, among others, is investing in what is called the 'doomsday seed bank.' Officially the project is named the Svalbard Global Seed Vault on the Norwegian island of Spitsbergen, part of the Svalbard island group. What is the "real" purpose for this project - and what does it indicate for our Earth in the future?

The aura (the magnetic halo) of the fault line extends out equally on each side of the fault line. The distance of the aura from the line varies directly with the degree of stress at the fault surfaces. Therefore when the width of this aura widens rapidly, over time, that fault line is primed for a tremor. For details on how to check this, complete directions are on the EarthNews page.
