Mon,24 Sep 2012 01:29 PM PDT
LiveScience.com -  Only about 7 percent of likely voters have not yet decided whether they will support Barack Obama or Mitt Romney in the 2012 election, a new national survey finds. But on the topic of climate change, at least, these undecideds look more like Obama supporters than Romney voters.

Another iPhone Fail: Siri Gives New Yorkers Weather for Texas
Mon,24 Sep 2012 11:49 AM PDT
Mashable -  Autumn in New York, and the temperatures are starting to turn with the leaves. Take Monday, when the city that never sleeps basked in a very pleasant, breezy 65 degrees. Unless you took out your iPhone and asked Siri for the weather, that is -- then it became a barely bearable 91 degrees.

Siri is fouling up weather forecasts for major cities and suffering from intermittent outages
Mon,24 Sep 2012 11:45 AM PDT
BGR News -  New York iPhone users who ask Siri for a weather forecast this week might be surprised to learn that the Big Apple is expected to register temperatures in the mid-90s for the next several days. Of course, that's not the actual New York weather forecast, but a weather forecast for the town of New York that's located in Texas. MacRumors reports, and BGR has independently confirmed, that Siri is coming up with the wrong results for weather requests in several towns, including the particularly egregious example where Siri pulls up the weather in New York, Texas when asked for weather in New York. BGR also experienced intermittent connectivity issues with Siri on Monday, although it's unknown whether this is related to

Toepfer cuts forecast of UK wheat crop after bad weather
Mon,24 Sep 2012 09:09 AM PDT
Reuters - HAMBURG (Reuters) - Britain's 2012 wheat crop is likely to fall to 13.80 million tonnes from the 2011 crop of 15.25 million tonnes partly because of poor harvest-time weather, Germany's leading grain trading house Toepfer International said on Monday. Toepfer, which has extensive grain trading interests in Britain, had in August forecast the British wheat crop at 14.32 million tonnes. "In the United Kingdom, the harvest was only 90 percent completed by mid-September," Toepfer said. "The wheat quality is therefore very poor. ... Full Story | Top |

Boost for carbon capture from new non-toxic absorber
Sun,23 Sep 2012 10:07 AM PDT
Reuters - LONDON (Reuters) - Researchers have created a new material that could solve some of the problems holding back projects to combat global warming by capturing and burying carbon emitted from power stations. The material, made from aluminum nitrate salt, cheap organic materials and water, is non-toxic and requires less energy to strip out the carbon when it becomes saturated, the scientists said. ...

Senate votes to shield U.S. airlines from EU's carbon scheme
Sat,22 Sep 2012 01:27 PM PDT
Reuters - WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Senate unanimously passed a bill on Saturday that would shield U.S. airlines from paying for their carbon emissions on European flights, pressuring the European Union to back down from applying its emissions law to foreign carriers. The European Commission has been enforcing its law since January to make all airlines take part in its Emissions Trading Scheme to combat global warming, prompting threats of a trade fight. ...

Have You Been Chickified? Some Alternate Definitions of Chickification
Fri,21 Sep 2012 08:48 AM PDT
The Atlantic Wire -  Alert! . (Why we continue to listen to him is unknown to this writer, but he said something and people are upset, so we will discuss it.) Limbaugh mentions a story out of that cites an Italian study determining that "the average size of a penis is roughly 10 percent smaller than it was 50 years ago." The researchers blame air pollution and global warming for this. Charming Rush says, no, clearly, it's due to feminism, feminazis, "the chickification," and "everything else."

Arctic sea ice thaw may be accelerated by oil, shipping
Tue,18 Sep 2012 02:46 PM PDT
Reuters -  OSLO (Reuters) - Local pollution in the Arctic from shipping and oil and gas industries, which have expanded in the region due to a thawing of sea ice caused by global warming, could further accelerate that thaw, experts say. The United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) said there was an urgent need to calculate risks of local pollutants such as soot, or "black carbon", in the Arctic. Soot darkens ice, making it soak up more of the sun's heat and quickening a melt. ...
