The assault on life by radio waves that began in 1896 — that is now increasing so rapidly, and is injuring so many people and so many forms of life — must finally be acknowledged and halted. We do not have much time. Scientists, doctors, government officials, and injured people must all meet together in one place to put a stop to it. It is the most immediate threat to life … [Read more...]

Asteroid Mining our way to intergalactic colonisation

asteroid-mining-our-way-to-intergalactic-colonisation

As our planet runs out of minerals and resources to support our even expanding need for development, is asteroid-mining a possible and viable option in the foreseeable future? Asteroid mining may sound like a science fiction term and it has had some pretty awful notions associated with it. Our imagination and history of the past often makes us picture certain greedy and … [Read more...]

our-demands-exceed-our-planet

Humanity's demands exceed our planet's capacity to sustain us by 50%. So we need the equivalent of 1.5 planets to provide what we ask for. The Living Planet Report, launched by WWF this week, provides a sobering wake-up call to the reality that human activity is exceedingly impacting negatively on our planet.

The sun’s impending temper tantrum

March 29, 2012 Leave a Comment

the-suns-impending-temper-tantrum

In late January and again in the second week of March, the sun lashed out in a bit of a temper tantrum, on both occasions sending out a powerful interplanetary coronal mass ejection whose full effects reached Earth in a few days. We got lucky: Nothing much happened, and the resulting space weather storm didn’t pack as big a punch as expected. This won’t always be the … [Read more...]

Africa: On fire from space

December 12, 2011 Leave a Comment

africa-on-fire-from-space

30% of the earth’s surface is affected by fire. Fire destroys forests and vegetations which are our sources of food – it is both a driver and an indicator of climate change. When biomass is burned, copious amounts of gases and particulate matter are released, billowing smoke plumes fill the sky, and entire ecosystems can change in seconds. “We’ve seen very saddening … [Read more...]

Solar flare causing problems for technology

November 11, 2011 Leave a Comment

what-the-bleep-do-we-know?

Having a problem with your internet or cellphone connection? Or making strange bleeps yourself? You may have to blame a higher power – the sun. On Wednesday, Nov. 9th a magnetic filament in the vicinity of sunspot complex 1342-1343 erupted, producing a M1-class solar flare and hurling a coronal mass ejection (CME) into space. But what are CME's? CME's are 'flames' that shoot … [Read more...]
