Anyone else tired of the over saturation/ media frenzy?

It is a real concern but it's all I hear or read about no matter which direction I turn...

OK... let's try this:

Climate change: Models 'underplay plant CO2 absorption'

13 Oct

Global climate models have underestimated the amount of CO2 being absorbed by plants, according to new research.

Scientists say that between 1901 and 2010, living things absorbed 16% more of the gas than previously thought.

The authors say it explains why models consistently overestimated the growth rate of carbon in the atmosphere.

But experts believe the new calculation is unlikely to make a difference to global warming predictions.

The research has been published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Working out the amount of carbon dioxide that lingers in the atmosphere is critical to estimating the future impacts of global warming on temperatures.

That's some heavy petting! Tourists stuck in their hatchback as amorous elephant gets frisky on South African safari

Massive bull elephant decided to get up close and personal with parked car
Occupants hung on for dear life as it burst the car's tires and broke chassis
It was during musth period, when elephants become extremely aggressive

*looks over towards Doc...then over towards Nebulous* Doc's got a point, Theeze... :P
 
To quote the British health care worker who survived Ebola by receiving a test vaccine, 'it felt like the demon was inside me'

It is a horrible way to die, and if anyone is not concerned about the spread of this outbreak, they should be. Just look at this video and tell me that everything is under control:

So yesterday I came in early to cover for my boss who had leave work to take his wife to the hospital. She was real sick with a intense stomach flu or something, they thought she had ebola and put her in quarantine for several hours before figuring out she didn't actually have it.

oh sweet baby jesus almighty one, just wow... :ohmy:

And then it kills you because it is doing that inside as well, your kidneys and liver shut down while you bleed to death.

The good news is that it you get lesions on your heart, you go much more quickly.

i was just joking about not knowing what ebola is... (;
