Here, Kim pays tribute to the dog that changed her life. picked by bingo 5 months ago 0 comments edit related share plime.com |
The total amount of cooling ranges from 0.65C up to 0.75C -- a value large enough to wipe out most of the warming recorded over the past 100 years. All in one year's time. For all four sources, it's the single fastest temperature change ever recorded, either up or down. picked by Hoosker 2 years ago 21 comments edit related share science |
The article states that solar cycles are to blame for global warming and this has happened before, i have seen this before and did a little reasearch and i think i agree with what they are saying 4 comments edit related share plime.comTAKE THAT AL GORE! picked by dork 2 years ago |
Solar activity fluctuates in an 11-year cycle. But so far in this cycle, the sun has been disturbingly quiet. The lack of increased activity could signal the beginning of what is known as a Maunder Minimum, an event which occurs every couple of centuries and can last as long as a century. picked by snuffleupogus 2 years ago 0 comments edit related share science |

Please don't hurt me for saying that! Just when you're not using it. Over 30 billion kilowatt-hours are wasted in a year because so many people don't shut off thier computers when they're not using them. Don't have time to press that button, you say? Get a program to shut down for you! picked by streetlight22 2 years ago 0 comments edit related share plime.com |
Remember the previous world climate scare? The one after Global Ice Age, but before Global Warming? The loss of the Ozone and the ozone hole over Antarctica was going to result in man's doom. Now that we are on our way to correcting the problem there are worries that the ozone will increase global warming and change wind patterns warming Antarctica even faster. picked by 2manyusernames 1 year ago 0 comments edit related share science |
Although the 7,900 gallons of milk per day is still destined for consumers, the heat that it releases as it is chilled will warm a gym, a workshop, and a 50-room accommodation complex. picked by MandolinOrange 2 years ago 0 comments edit related share entertainment |
Every cloud has a silver lining, the saying goes, but as it turns out, it's more of a giant halo. 7 comments edit related share plime.comThis seemingly innocuous finding could have a surprisingly big knock-on effect because it means there may be fewer cooling particles in the sky than previously thought. And that could change the way we model climate change. picked by bingo 8 months ago |
Really nice article concerning energy consumption of Google's data center in Oregon. Knowing that servers require a half-watt in cooling for every watt they use in processing, this new kind of industry is in fact a new heavy industry, an energy glutton that is only growing hungrier. picked by wildminou 2 years ago 0 comments edit related share technology |

Geophysicists now have created the most detailed 3-D seismic images yet of the mostly submerged Chicxulub impact crater. The images show the crater contained sulfur-rich sediments that would have reacted with the water vapor to create sulfate aerosols. These compounds in the atmosphere would have made the impact deadlier by cooling the climate and producing acid rain. picked by AutumnLotus 2 years ago 1 comments edit related share science |

Special ships that create clouds by spraying seawater into the air could be the most cost effective way of tackling climate change, new research has found. The technique, known as marine cloud whitening, would create clouds above the Pacific Ocean that would have a cooling effect by reflecting sunlight away from Earth. picked by kakana 4 months ago 7 comments edit related share science |
