Wegmans Food Markets recalls Various Prepared Foods That Contain Hard-Cooked Eggs Produced by Michael Foods

Wegmans Food Markets recalls Various Prepared Foods That Contain Hard-Cooked Eggs Produced by Michael Foods

Michael Foods, a Minnesota food company said Friday it is recalling more than a million hard-cooked eggs distributed to 34 states after testing revealed some may be contaminated with listeria.

Some 15,000 pails of eggs in brine, sold for institutional use, are being recalled, Michael Foods spokeswoman Diane Sparish said.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration said the eggs were produced at the company’s plant in Wakefield, Neb., and were bought by food distributors and manufacturers and not sold directly to retailers. There have been no reports of illness connected to the eggs, the agency said.

Greenhouse Gases Cause of Global Warming, Not Sun Activity New NASA Report Confirms

Solar Cycle

A prolonged solar minimum left the sun's surface nearly free of sunspots and accompanying bright areas called faculae between 2005 and 2010. Total solar irradiance declined slightly as a result, but the Earth continued to absorb more energy than it emit throughout the minimum. An animation of a full solar cycle is available here.

Greenhouse gases are confirmed as the cause of global warming, not sun activity according to a recent NASA report. The recent, prolonged minimal in sun activity did not prevent the Earth from absorbing more solar energy than it let escape back into space, a recent NASA analysis of the Earth’s energy budget indicates. The study, Earth’s energy imbalance and implications, appeared in the Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics journal in December, 2011.

In a real brief summary, the study concluded:

Improving observations of ocean heat content show that Earth is absorbing more energy from the Sun than it is radiating to space as heat, even during the recent solar minimum. The inferred planetary energy imbalance, 0.58±0.15Wm−2 during the 6-yr period 2005–2010, confirms the dominant role of the human-made greenhouse effect in driving global climate change.

This imbalance is the primary driver for global warming, since more energy is coming in than leaving and, because it occurred during a period when the sun was emitting comparatively low levels of energy, the imbalance has implications for the cause of global warming. The results of the study confirm greenhouse gases produced by human activities are the most important driver of global climate change, according to the researchers.

Cleveland Volcano in Alaska Aleutian Islands On Verge of Another Eruption?

Cleveland Volcano in Alaska Aleutian Islands On Verge of Another Eruption? (This photo of the Volcano was captured by an Expedition 13 Flight Engineer Jeff Williams from International Space Station (ISS) on May 23, 2006. Shortly after this photo was obtained, he immediately contacted the Alaska Volcano Observatory (AVO) to inform what was currently happening.)

The Cleveland Volcano in the Alaskan Aleutian Islands may be on the verge of another eruption, as new satellite imagery of the 5,676-foot peak, located about 940 miles southwest of Anchorage in Alaska’s remote Aleutian islands, shows a new, bulging lava dome forming in the volcano’s summit crater, suggesting a buildup of gas pressure.

Even though the volcano is in an uninhabited area, an eruption could still cause a big mess. According to CNN, some 90 percent of air freight from Asia to Europe and North America passes over Alaska, along with hundreds of commercial flights.

Officials say that intermittent and sudden explosions could happen at any time, generating ash clouds up to 20,000 feet above sea level. Continue Reading Cleveland Volcano in Alaska Aleutian Islands On Verge of Another Eruption? Here

Texas Heat Wave & Drought Linked to Rapid Global Warming by NASA’s James Hansen

Texas Heat Wave & Drought Linked to Rapid Global Warming by NASA's James Hansen Images

The Texas heat wave and drought linked to rapid global climate change according to NASA’s James Hansen.

The Texas heat wave and Texas drought that occurred over three months last summer where the temperatures in Texas rose higher than at any time in recorded history, and the state is still in the midst of the most expensive drought in the states history. But can the 2011 Texas heat wave and Texas drought be linked to global warming?

Some of us do associate these extreme weather events like this list of worst storms – natural disasters 2011 to global warming. However it is an entirely different world for scientists, and it is even difficult to get accross the fact that climate change is going on or is man made, however those attempts to discredit the science have been reduced greatly by the Koch led study into whether or not global warming is real.

First Total Lunar Eclipse June 15 2011 Longer Than Normal Not Visible In US Canada

Map for the First Total Lunar Eclipse June 15 2011 Longer Than Normal Not Visible In US Canada

The first total lunar eclipse on June 15, 2011 will last an unusually long time, a rare celestial treat for a wide swath of the globe, except if you happen to live in the US or Canada. Unfortunately, for those of you in North America, you will be left out of Wednesday’s lunar event, which will be visible from the beginning to end from eastern Africa, central Asia, the Middle East and western Australia, that is, of course, if the weather cooperates.

The period when Earth’s shadow completely blocks the moon, which is commonly referred to as totality, will last a unusually longer 1 hour and 40 minutes. The last time that the moon was covered for this long was in July 2000, when it lasted for 1 hour and 47 minutes, 7 minutes longer than this years event.

Groundhog Day 2012 Punxsutawney Phil Set To Make Winter Prediction Photo by Alan Freed

Groundhog Day 2012 will be here soon and Punxsutawney Phil will leave his burrow at 7:20 February 2nd at Gobblers Knob in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania where he will observe the current weather conditions and look for his shadow, he will then make his weather prediction for the remainder of winter.

In addition to the much waited for Phil’s prognostication to predict the end of winter, Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, Phils hometown has many great events this year to help celebrate Phil’s winter forecast! Check out the links below to download and print the schedule.
