Study: Sea level changes may affect tropical rainfall patterns
At lower sea levels, exposed land masses could affect convection
By Summit Voice
FRISCO — Even though scientists are continuously fine-tuning their global warming models, climate change is likely to dish up some big surprises in the decades ahead.
In one recent study, researchers with the University of Hawaii and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution found evidence that past changes in sea level rise had a somewhat unexpected influence across the center of the Indo-Pacific warm pool — a vast region of warm ocean waters in the western Pacific region that is the main source of heat and moisture to Earth's atmosphere.
Saving our best soils for growing food
On my doorstep in Mickleover, Derby, developers have submitted an outline planning application for 300+ new homes on Hackwood Farm. This area is not in Derby’s Preferred Growth Strategy and at least 70 local residents have submitted written objections to the plans.
Safeguard our Soils, Mr. Pickles!
Because of the deliberate weakening of local planning control by the Coalition Government, greenfield sites all over the country are now at risk from private development.

Urban Tarzan (TM). It's a good idea, and you're all just jealous.
Admit it.

Published on February 1, 2011
Kathy Freston did not become a vegan until she was in her 30's. Before that she was enjoyed eating traditional meat meals. Slowly she began giving up eating different animals and then dairy products. Her husband compromised by accepting that she would no longer cook those items, but he could get them on his own.
Views on LUSH: Homemade cosmetics
Getting back on the fashionable track, I've noticed the sudden rise of the company, LUSH so now its time for me to give you a bit of Val von Dee's thoughts.
For those of you who've never seen/heard of LUSH, its a beauty store whose main goal is to fight for animal rights and come off as the perfectly green-peace brand.
