Within the lifetimes of today's children, scientists say, the climate could reach a state unknown in civilization.

An amazing 13-second NASA animation depicting how the globe has warmed during the period of 1950 to 2012.
From our friends at NASA comes this amazing 13-second animation that depicts how temperatures around the globe have warmed since 1950. You’ll note an acceleration of the temperature trend in the late 1970s as greenhouse gas emissions from energy production increased worldwide and clean air laws reduced emissions of pollutants that had a cooling effect on the climate, and thus were masking some of the global warming signal.
The data come from NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York (GISS), which monitors global surface temperatures. As NASA notes, “All 10 of the warmest years in the GISS analysis have occurred since 1998, continuing a trend of temperatures well above the mid-20th century average.

Scientists from the University of Georgia Regenerative Bioscience Center used adult stem cells to produce a protein involved in bone healing gel. The putty provides full load bearing capabilities. Once its implanted into the site of a fracture bone, it rapidly restore a patient to ambulatory function while healing. Fracture Putty has already been proven to work in animals, and It could be two or more years until human studies are done. Via Sakis Koukouvis Delete the scoop?

What more is there to say? The way in which we have lived our lives has destroyed the environment in which we thrived. Now the children will suffer the consequences. This is the consequence of industrialization and consumerism, capitalism and communism, and the What more is there to say? The way in which we have lived our lives has destroyed the environment in which we thrived. Now the children will suffer the consequences. This is the consequence of industrialization and consumerism, capitalism and communism, and the unrestrained appetite for profit and power all combined. The perfect toxic mix! All for the lack of midfullness.
