The Antarctic ozone hole has finally started to 'heal,' scientists report
This false-color image shows ozone concentrations above Antarctica on Oct. 2, 2015. (Credits: NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center) In a major new paper in the influential journal Science, a team of researchers report strikingly good news about a thirty year old environmental problem. The Antarctic ozone “hole” — which, when it was first identified in the mid-1980s, focused public attention like few other pieces of environmental news — has begun, in their words, to finally “heal.” “If you use th..>> view originalNASA's Juno spacecraft enters Jupiter's magnetic field

WASHINGTON – More than 100 Nobel laureates called on the international environmental group Greenpeace on Thursday to end its opposition to genetically modified crops, saying there is a scientific consensus they are safe and can benefit society. At a news conference, the scientists cited in particular the value of a genetically modified rice used to prevent some illnesses related to vitamin A deficiency in much of the developing world. "Golden Rice" produces beta carotene in the grain, which ri..>> view originalCuriosity rover's sand-dune studies yield surprise

A team of British astronomers might have discovered new insights into how prehistoric humans gazed up at the stars. The researchers are studying what could be the first-ever telescope used by people some 6,000 years ago. A series of long entrance passageways that lead into megalithic, or stone, tombs may have enhanced what these early communities could see shining up in the nighttime sky, according to a release from the Royal Astronomical Society.The researchers are looking to so-called "passag..>> view originalDawn completes primary mission

New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman and his fellow greenies are getting a lesson about the dangers of believing their own propaganda. These know-it-alls claim there’s a “consensus” on climate change and what to do about it. And they believe that consensus is so broad that even prosecuting dissent would be a slam-dunk. Claude Walker’s monumental crash-and-burn this week blew up that theory. Schneiderman and his ideological pals, from Al Gore to Hillary Clinton, would be wise to take not..>> view original
