NEW YORK (RUSHPRNEWS) AUGUST 2, 2008–Sudden changes in the African monsoon can have large-scale socio-economic effects on fragile economies that depend on moisture for agriculture and basic human needs. New research has predicted that the impact of changes in the ocean’s currents as a result of melting polar ice-caps could reduce rainfall during the monsoon [...] Read Full Story

As the glaciers are melting faster than they are being replenished, it is expected that they will disappear in the next century, a victim of the changing environment. db Comments Read Full Story

Not so long ago there was a group of scientists who were claiming that far from warming, the earth was actually cooling. The basis of this claim was a set of readings taken by a satellite. But it was then realised that no allowance had been made for the declining orbit of the satellite. The adjusted reading told a different story........................ the story illustrated by the following video. Read Full Story
