POPSHumans' response to risk can be unnecessarily dangerous, study The results of Lotem's research may also be used by economists, politicians and psychologists, who need to know when people will take risks, says Prof. Lotem. A wider understanding of this phenomenon can affect business decisions, the economy ― and, hopefully, the number of road accidents in America each year.

POPS Night Lights Turned Off to Save Migrating Birds In addition to lowering the light in the night migration routes, researchers are also trying to determine why birds fly into some buildings at a much higher rate than others. In Minneapolis, 67 percent of the bird kills were caused by just two of the city's skyscrapers.

POPSNASA: 70% of climate change due to Pacific oscillations, not CO2 What this means is no matter how much you change your CO2 footprint, how much you try to be CO2 green, no matter how much liberal governments tax you - you cannot save the planet from its natural cycles. Say they reduced the CO2 25%. Say the CO2 is the driver for the remaining 30% of Global Warming (which it cannot be, but let’s just be only half as ridiculous as the IPCC), then all that effort would only impact 7.5% of the forces driving the global climate. The other 92.5% would roll on, impervious to the effort. And since CO2 is not 100% of the remaining 30% of the equation (more like 10%), a more realistic expectation is that all the suffering that would go into dropping CO2 levels by 25% would result in a less than 1% change in the forces driving our climate.

POPSWeird natural detonations Reading about the exploding ants and frogs was interesting too...but this about calm lakes..."limnic eruption. To get one you need a few basic elements: - one, a very deep volcanic lake; - two, said lake has to be over a slow source of volcanic gas; - and three, it has to be very, very still." Eerie!

POPSWhat Will Happen to Biodiversity When the World Becomes A Giant City? “As a species we have lived in wild nature for hundreds of thousands of years, and now suddenly most of us live in cities—the ultimate escape from nature,” says Kareiva. “If we do not learn to build, expand and design our cities with a respect for nature, we will have no nature left anywhere.” Indeed, biocide is occurring at an alarming rate. Experts project that at least half of the world’s current animal species will be completely gone by the end of the century. Wild plant-life is also disappearing. Most biologists say that we are in the midst of an anthropogenic mass extinction that is at least partially caused by human encroachment on more and more areas of the planet. Numerous scientific studies confirm that this phenomenon needs to be addressed quickly.

POPSGlobal Warming Causes Shark Attacks And as long as we have an increase in human hours in the water, we will have an increase in shark bites.' Some experts suggest that an abundance of seals has attracted high numbers of sharks, while others believe that overfishing has hit their food chain. 'I'm not saying it doesn't happen, but it's a convenient excuse,' Burgess said. Another contributory factor to the location of shark attacks could be global warming and rising sea temperatures. 'You'll find that some species will begin to appear in places they didn't in the past with some regularity,' he said. On a tip from mega. Posted by Van Helsing

POPSNo, wait! The cooling is really global warming! Covering their tooshes, the liberals are now saying that global cooling we are going to experience over the next decade is just a temporary effect. These liberal lunatics still want your money to combat what they fear will be global warming some ten years after the cooling has happened. Next, when the ice caps begin to grow, they will claim the effect of the ocean currents was stronger than they expected and the dreaded globabl warming will occur in the next century. Another example of the fact that liberalism is a mental disorder.

POPSSmall group of US experts insist global warming not man-made This makes sense!!! Greenland was called 'Greenland' all those years ago for a reason! The dinosaurs frozen in time...for a reason. Tropical plants found encased in ice..for a reason! These are climate changes that occur naturally; not from *necessarily* anything that human beings do.

POPS Open Letter To Secretary-General of the United Nations
Geological, archaeological, oral and written histories all attest to the dramatic challenges posed to past societies from unanticipated changes in temperature, precipitation, winds and other climatic variables. We therefore need to equip nations to become resilient to the full range of these natural phenomena by promoting economic growth and wealth generation. The IPCC Summaries for Policy Makers are the most widely read IPCC reports amongst politicians and non-scientists and are the basis for most climate change policy formulation. Yet these Summaries are prepared by a relatively small core writing team with the final drafts approved line-by-line by government representatives. The great majority of IPCC contributors and reviewers, and the tens of thousands of other scientists who are qualified to comment on these matters, are not involved in the preparation of these documents. The summaries therefore cannot properly be represented as a consensus view among experts.
