For humans, static electricity is a curiosity. For insects, it can be life or death: spiders use it to catch prey, bumblebees to collect pollen, and nematodes to leap onto passing flies.

Unbelievable. This would be a terrible blow to American science, writ large. It would decimate not only climate research, but also the kind of weather, wildfire, and disaster research that has underpinned half a century of progress in prediction, early warning, and increased resilience.
Exclusive: The Trump administration is moving to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Colorado, according to a senior White House official, taking aim at one of the world's leading climate research labs.

The run that Rob Reiner went on between 1984 and 1992 is one of the most amazing hot streaks any director has ever had. Legendary stuff

I went to Brown for undergrad and grad school, and love the city of Providence. This horrible act by someone who, like every citizen of the USA, has practically complete and unfettered access to guns and lives in a culture that celebrates guns as freedom and expression.

True impact of your flying several times higher than commonly used CO₂ calculators suggest
For example current calculations for first class from Singapore to Zurich on B777 plane, say it emits 5000 kg when in fact its 14,000 kg #climate

Existing tools that work out the carbon footprint of flights greatly underestimate their warming impact, say the makers of a new calculator

Everyone please diligently check your candy this year. I cracked open a snickers bar and not only did I find a copper ingot, but it was of poor quality.
Worse still, when my man Nanni confronted my neighbor about it, he was treated with disdain.
