NASA last week announced that it has established the Planetary Defense Coordination Office to formalize its efforts to detect and track near-Earth objects. The PDCO will supervise all NASA-funded projects to find and characterize asteroids and comets that pass near Earth's orbit around the sun. It will issue notices of close passes and warnings of any detected potential impacts.

The Anthropocene: Hard evidence a human-driven Earth
2016-01-08 00:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: The evidence for a new geological epoch which marks the impact of human activity on Earth is now overwhelming according to a recent paper by an international group of geoscientists. The Anthropocene, which is argued to start in the mid-20th Century, is marked by the spread of materials such as aluminium, concrete, plastic, fly ash and fallout from nuclear testing across the planet, coincident with elevated greenhouse gas emissions and unprecedented trans-global species invasions. An international...

Earth is Experiencing a Global Warming Spurt
2016-01-05 13:56:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: Cyclical changes in the Pacific Ocean have thrown earth's surface into what may be an unprecedented warming spurt, following a global warming slowdown that lasted about 15 years. While El Nio is being blamed for an outbreak of floods, storms and unseasonable temperatures across the planet, a much slower-moving cycle of the Pacific Ocean has also been playing a role in record-breaking warmth. The recent effects of both ocean cycles are being amplified by climate change. A 2014 flip was detected...

The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter is currently in orbit around the moon -- just like it says on the tin -- and its LROC three-camera system just delivered some of the most amazing high-resolution images we've ever seen.
What on Earth is a climatarian?

Grist: If you try to eat locally sourced food, limit food waste, and avoid the most energy-consuming of meat products, your CO2-conscious dietary habits may have earned you a new label: climatarian. The term recently appeared on the New York Times list of 2015s top food-related words, along with a host of silly coinages like cuisinomane (the Frenchified word for foodie) and zarf (the cardboard sheath for those piping-hot paper coffee cups). The list describes the climatarian diet as one whose...
