Welp, Scientists Found 28 New Virus Groups in a Melting Glacier
This is how the world ends.
From Tibet to the Arctic to Antarctica, glaciers and ice caps around the world are melting at alarming rates. Scientists are racing the clock and climate change to collect, identify, and catalogue the microbes found in ancient ice. Having a record of these bacteria, viruses, and fungi paints a sharper picture of our prehistoric past and could be valuable for use in studying future pathogens.

@utopian
You clearly think climate change important. Yet you seem never able to share a personal opinion. Just lot of copy and paste. So i'm curious exactly what you think man is doing and its causes regarding climate change? Is it helping towards cooling or warming and is it more powerful than historical regular climate change? And do you think humans can control climate and if such a belief at what cost? What power should those be granted to save the earth from such travesties and what liberties will be denied for such aims?
You passionately copy paste. But do you have any thoughts of your own?

How bad can the climate crisis get if Trump wins again?
Climate pollution in the US is up under Donald Trump and threatens to undermine international efforts to stall the crisis, especially if he wins re-election this year and secures a second term in the White House.

- although climate change is real, it's often used as a tool to create social control and political power.hotroddy

A newly unearthed journal from 1966 shows the coal industry, like the oil industry, was long aware of the threat of climate change.
“Exxon knew.” Thanks to the work of activists and journalists, those two words have rocked the politics of climate change in recent years, as investigations revealed the extent to which giants like Exxon Mobil and Shell were aware of the danger of rising greenhouse gas emissions even as they undermined the work of scientists.
But the coal industry knew, too — as early as 1966, a newly unearthed journal shows.
In August, Chris Cherry, a professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, salvaged a large volume from a stack of vintage journals that a fellow faculty member was about to toss out. He was drawn to a 1966 copy of the industry publication Mining Congress Journal; his father-in-law had been in the industry and he thought it might be an interesting memento.
- How could pumping all the shit from the ground into the air not change the environment? Even without scientists, research and journals, it's fucking obvious.inteliboy

So twitter’s new ban on political ads has had the unfortunate side-effect of also banning ads from groups that are fighting climate change.
So exhausting. It’s science not politics. As long as this issue is conflated this way nothing will change (aside from the climate)
- Completely agreed. It's just one big UGH at this point.garbage
- "It’s science not politics" - you my friend have no clue.pr2
- The fact that it is seen as a political issue is a triumph of modern marketing sadly. Oil companies spent a huge amount of money to make it seem that way.yuekit
- Lol, pr2, you certainly have the lock on cluesGnash

..and FB while we're at itKrassy - climate forecasting is modelling; not science, which is hypothesis-theory-me... (replicate)-test-val...BustySaintClaire
- @BustySaintClaire is speed science when predicting the outcome of a vehicle going fast? and modeling an outcome unless breaks are installed?Krassy
- It's really more like predicting how fast that vehicle will be going next Tuesday.monNom
- You realize science is 100%, entirely, all about predicting outcomes of phenomena, yes?i_monk
- ^ thisGnash
- forecasting models represent the actual scientific method at workmonospaced
- The only reason to deny this science is if you've been brainwashed to do so by anti-science religious conservatives. That seems to be the group behind it all.monospaced
- I wouldn’t go as far as including a religious element, profits are enough of an incentive to deny the scienceGnash
- True. But those people not profiting who still deny it ...monospaced
- and all the models put forth in the last 50 years have been without a doubt accurate? models are not hard science. more along lines of social sciencedeathboy
- mostly opinion and bias based on donors criteria. There is more data in stock markets and yet that seems impossbile to predictdeathboy

- a position that's *entirely* opinion and bias based on industrialists' criteria.i_monk
- imonk do you follow the large opinions in the markets as truth? if not why
? they do possess far more amounts of data.deathboy - scientists (more stats, less science) like economists are bought. and for a reason. they present usually false predictions like any weather reportdeathboy
- just think about the view of it and mechanisms controlling itdeathboy
- should also question that "near unanimity" line. from who? was every scientist asked and what questions? ...deathboy
