Vast Pool of Arctic Fresh Water Could Cool Europe According to British Scientists
Vast Pool of Arctic Fresh Water Could Cool Europe According to British Scientists
In real life, the scientists have determined that the fresh water pool is expanding and could lower the temperature of Europe by causing the ocean current to slow down. In the movie, the Gulf Stream shuts down altogether, unleashing an abrupt climate shift and the onset of the next Ice Age.

List of Worst Storms – Natural Disasters 2011

List of Worst Storms – Natural Disasters 2011
Our list of worst natural disasters – storms of 2011 has grown in size since the 2010 list we did. 2011 was worse in terms of natural disasters. Regions from around the world were literally slammed with extreme weather events and catastrophes resulting in huge economic costs and devastation not to mention massive death tolls devastating populations. Does climate change play a role in all this, more than likely, as these once termed ‘storms of the century’ are now occurring nearly every year and getting worse every year for that matter as well.
The U.S. again broke its record for billion-dollar weather disasters. The Associated Press reported that in 2011, the U.S. saw more weather catastrophes costing at least $1 billion in damage each than it had experienced throughout all of the 1980s.
Devastating Tornadoes ripped through the U.S., devastating cities like as Tuscaloosa, Alabama and Joplin, Missouri.
One of the biggest stories of the year was the earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan in March, killing thousands and wreaking havoc at the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant.
Heat waves over the summer scorched the U.S. and Texas suffered from fires and its worst drought in decades. An earthquake rattled the East Coast in October, and Hurricane Irene followed shortly thereafter. Continue Reading List of Worst Storms – Natural Disasters 2011 Here

Is Global Warming Real? New Report By Skeptic Answers Is Global Warming Real
Is Global Warming Real? New Report By Skeptic Answers Is Global Warming Real - Chart Coutesy of Berkeley Earth.ORG
Is Global Warming Real
That brings us to the present day and the Berkeley Earth Surface Temperature (BEST) study, a study that was heavily funded by the Charles G. Koch Charitable Foundation, which would prefer to keep climate denial as the mainstream philosophy for ulterior motives, primarily to fight attempts to reduce carbon emissions in the U.S.A. due to their energy industries large amounts of greenhouse gas emissions. The American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) also funded by Koch industries is also attempting to thwart environmental protections and climate change legislature to benefit companies like Koch Industries bottom lines.

24 Hours of Reality Live
It’s time for the world to face the realities of climate change, and that time is now!
That is the message expressed by Al Gore’s Climate Reality Project, which has launched “24 Hours of Reality,” an event beginning at 7pm CT (8pm ET) on September 14, and running for 24 hours straight. It is a global event featuring 24 presenters in 24 time zones, who “will connect the dots between recent extreme weather events — including floods, droughts and storms along with the manmade pollution that is changing our climate.”
The event comes on the heels of hurricanes, droughts, and other extreme weather events slamming the United States, and as the country ended its second-hottest summer ever recorded.
Kevin Trenberth, a senior scientist with the National Center for Atmospheric Research, said “There is now a pervasive human influence in all climate events.”
In a recent Mediaite interview with Climate Reality Project’s Alex Bogusky, Gore said:
Powerful polluters … see it as a useful strategy to try to convince the public that the scientists are liars and that they’re greedy and they’re making stuff up. All in the service of their overarching strategy of creating enough doubt to persuade people that there shouldn’t be any sense of urgency about addressing this crisis.
In anticipation of the event, the Climate Reality Project released video ads suggesting that when it comes to the climate crisis, “the fat lady has sung and the *#!? is hitting the fan.”
You can watch the “24 Hours of Reality” event livestream in English here, beginning at 8pm ET, or click here to find the location where you would like to watch a presentation.
Stay tuned in to the Climate Reality Project and help to save the planet and we hope you enjoy the 24 Hours of Reality Live! Peace my friends and Godspeed!

Could The God Particle – Higgs Boson be Discovered in 2012?
Big bang theory proven in 2012?
The Higgs boson, which is another name for this sought after particle, which was named after one of the physicists which was proposed in 1964, inspired by the ideas of Philip Anderson. The came up with the Higgs mechanism, or Englert-Brout-Higgs-Guralnik-Hagen-Kibble mechanism (named after all 6 participants), which is a process by which vector bosons can get a mass. Those 6 physicists were awarded the J.J. Sakurai Prize for Theoretical Particle Physics for their work on the Higgs mechanism.

Rare Earth Elements Vital to Green Technology Becoming Harder to Get From China
Rare Earth Elements Vital to Green Technology Becoming Harder to Get From China - Theres Green Gold in them that hills!
The major concern with these minerals is that they are mainly produced in China, as it is currently producing 97% of the worlds supply of them. There is great concern now as China has indicated it will reduce export quotas by 30% in 2011, which immediately follows a 72 percent reduction for the second half of 2010.
