The warming glaciers will raise sea level in two main ways. As they melt they add more water and they also add more water as ice breaks off from glacial flows. The incidence of this later phenomenon has blasted in recent years for some glaciers draining the southern Greenland Ice Sheet, much to the mystification of glaciologists. Unable to account for such accelerated ice losses, members of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change declined to include them in their widely cited projection of up to 60 centimeters of sea level rise by 2100.

Using all the data available plus some estimates of what’s going on with all glaciers the glaciologist W. Tad Pfeffer of the University of Colorado managed to estimate the sea raise from 80 centimeters to 200 centimeters by the end of the century. Some researchers also say that the sea rise should be of several meters but this estimate is impossible because its physically untenable once that not enough ice could be pushed through the glacial gates.

These numbers for the sea rise leave many worries since 1 meter of sea rise is a big deal as it would threaten people in many parts of the world.

Have you noticed that our need for food has been contributing for the degradation of the environment and that we need new solutions if our population continues to grow. This degradation comes from pesticides, fertilizers or from overfishing.

Against this backdrop there are a growing amount of people working to refine and popularize a technique that could slash those environmental costs for either fish or vegetable products. The technique is called aquaponics and it integrates fish and hydroponic agriculture in a sort of closed, symbiotic loop. The fish serve as fertilizer factories and the plants as water purifiers. With this idea we maximize production while minimizing environmental costs.

Probably this will be the future of food production of the future which already is in course at Cabbage Hill Farm in Mount Kisco, N.Y.

Those kinds of self sustained techniques may also play an important role in the colonization of infertile planets in the long future but meanwhile we can only hope that this is a way for us to stop the degradation of our planet ecosystems.

The pen-tailed tree shrew feeds on nectar of an ever flowering plant, the bertam palm, which is also the primary food source for many other animals as well. Yeast cells in the palm’s flowers ferment its nectar, which can contain up to 3.8% alcohol. Comparing all living plants that produce alcohol this one is the one that has the highest concentrations of alcohol.

Despite researchers not finding any inebriation effects the reality is that the tree shrews meet or surpass the legal intoxication limit of 1.4 grams of alcohol per kilogram of body mass every 3 days. Just for you to get an idea the 1.4 grams of alcohol per kilogram of body mass in human terms is the equivalent to an average woman drinking nine glasses of wine or beer in a 12-hour period.

This amazing gravity hill is actually a simple phenomenon were your eyes make you think the car is going up while it’s going down. The trick it’s at the surroundings that make you think that the car is going up while it’s going down.

Well this is a living proof that what we see isn’t the reality but instead our perception of reality. Our senses trick us every day so don’t forget not to believe everything you perceive.

Have fun with the video

Like if we haven’t learned enough with the past from playing God men still wants to do it in the search of high profits.

Seems like we haven’t learned enough from our previous experience from playing God. Now we play with food modifying its genetic structure in order to obtain higher profits. Just now we start detecting problems like unstable proliferation of some crops and destruction of the natural genetic structure of the old ones through cross polinization. Also, GM crops can result in people and animals developing resistance to certain types of antibiotics which are used to treat diseases.

Worlds leaders are starting to take more attention into the matter because of thousands of complains and petitions made by Greenpeace supporters and negative observations from the World Health Organization (WHO), the Institute Pasteur and the European Medicines Agency (EMA).

Lately the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has had a remarkable action when it retracted the green light for a new type of GM potato and two types of GM maize to be grown. Though it was a good step in denying the previous given green light to the new GM crops of potato and maize how do we know that EFSA didn’t made the same mistake before and we are producing crops that harm the human being and the environment? The European commission has ordered a second investigation on these crops but shouldn’t a second investigation be done to all GM crops since EFSA got it wrong this time?

These crops may deliver health problems that might only be noticeable a few generations after, isn’t this a cause for concern too?

Another fact is that most probably the GM crops that produce their own insecticides and other GM crops may have a negative impact on the environment and because of that the EFSA should have rejected the crops right away since we know so little about the future problems that it may bring us.

Contrary to what people think the jelly is not a fish but an organism that belongs to the class Scyphozoa.

One special jelly is creating a lot of turbulence in the science world (the one in the photo) because it’s shaking some beliefs.

Through a massive analysis of the evolutionary biology of animals it has been suggested that this jellyfish might just be the direct progeny of the first animal on Earth making it the earliest member of the kingdom that includes insects, fish, reptiles, birds, mammals (including humans) and many more or all the ones that belong to the kingdom Animalia.

Normally experts were supposing the sponge to be the first true animal because it is the simplest known, lacking in distinct tissues and nervous system which are two of the jelly characteristics.

This discovery is a blow to the mindset that evolution automatically means increasing complexity, researchers say.

This completely new and amazing discovery to the world of science has been published by researchers in the 10 of April issue of Nature.

These days it’s amazing to ear about finding plants that are thought to be extinct since most of the news just report cases of disappearing species.
This time at Cape York, far northern Australia, two thought to be extinct plants were found. The Rhaphidospora cavernarum which is a one and a half meters high herb thought to be lost since 1873 and the Teucrium ajugaceum last seen in 1891.
These findings were made thanks to a report produced from research by more than 100 academic and government experts.
Besides the finding of the thought to be extinct plants the report also stated that in Queensland every year more than 50 new plants are reported to appear and that there are more than 12,000 native plant species known to science in the state making Queensland a “well of life”.

Has you might imagine there are several sizes of black holes and this one besides being the smallest ever found still digests everything around him because of the huge gravitational force that even draws light into it.
The previous record holder would weight 6.3 Suns which isn’t much when we know black holes weighting up to billions times the weight of our Sun.
NASA scientists Nikolai Shaposhnikov and Lev Titarchuk identified this black hole which is the smallest (15 miles across) and the lightest known black hole in the universe weighting only 3.8 of our suns.
This discovery was made with the help of NASA’s Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer satellite that was launched in late 1995.
This flyweight XTE J1650 which exists outside our star system was formed in the center of a dying star when she ran out of fuel and collapsed due to its own gravity into a black hole. As well as being the smallest known black hole scientist also think that it must be very close of being the smallest possible size for a black hole because if after the star collapses the result is less than 3 times the weight of our sun, instead of becoming a black hole it becomes a called neutron star.
Amazing how this powerful and fearful phenomenon of the universe only measures 15 miles that is the size of a city.

The measurement of the black hole’s mass is due to high-precision timing observations made by NASA’s Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer satellite, shown here prior to launch. Credit: NASA
