United Kingdom: The anger over fracking is real: but the truth is, we can't manage without gas

Guardian: The battle for Balcombe is a distraction. It allows politicians and businesspeople who want to ditch the green agenda to depict environmentalists as mindless nihilists opposed to modernisation of Britain's energy infrastructure. It is also fair to ask why anti-frackers are willing to go down to Sussex in large numbers while the oil and gas explorers in Aberdeen and Great Yarmouth are ignored. If climate change is the target of the protesters, there is a case for demonstrating against those who...

PhysOrg: The planet is building up heat at the equivalent of four Hiroshima bombs worth of energy every second. And 90 percent of that heat is going into the oceans. Right, now I've got your attention. It's widely acknowledged that we need to keep climate change below 2C to avoid catastrophic impacts on society. To do so we need to cut greenhouse gas emissions. But this makes for tough choices for our leaders and for ourselves. Convincing people of the urgency of climate change is no mean feat. Representing...

Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho, It's Off to the Asteroid Mines We Go?
2013-08-14 01:45:28| TechNewsWorld
Researchers in the UK recently identified 12 small asteroids close enough to Earth to be used in mining operations that could begin as early as 2021. The research was part of a larger effort by both private and public institutions to learn more about the potential for tapping into asteroids that could contain large deposits of valuable resources including platinum, iron-nickel ore or gold.
Runaway climate change? It's more likely than we thought

Mother Nature Network: Theres been much talk in recent years of climate feedback loops and runaway climate change, whereby the warming of our climate through man-made greenhouse gas emissions triggers further warming in the form of natural responses such as the release of methane and carbon dioxide by melting permafrost or the huge emissions caused by out-of-control wildfires. Respected NASA scientist and vocal advocate for climate action James Hansen has even claimed a runaway climate change scenario could destroy...
