Further the trees killed from drought rot in the coming years will release over 5 billion tons of CO2#nearly equivalent to the amount of carbon released by the US in 2009 from the burning of fossil fuels.
And that doesnt include the carbon emissions released during forest fires. The scientists believe that if droughts of this magnitude continue at this frequency,
the Amazon rainforest will no longer be able to act as a carbon emission sponge, which will amplify the impacts of
what carbon is being released into the atmosphere today. They wont know the full impact of the droughts until they can complete forest measurements
#The carbon isnt the only immediate concern. As we noted last year, the economies of the communities dependent on flowing rivers are also hit hard by the droughts.
From carbon to communities the Amazon rainforests are of vital importance, but changes in global climate are proving to take their toll.
and carbon dioxide gas. When the joint is put in an abnormal position, bubbles of these gasses are released rapidly which causes the cracking noise.
because it takes time for the gases to build up again. Some claim that cracking knuckles leads to arthritis

Because gas does not have to build up like it does in the knuckles, this noise can often be made repeatedly.

Pesticides are making honey bees far more susceptible to disease, according to new research than links a new group of chemicals to the recent collapse in the bee population.
The chemicals, that mimic the insect-killing properties of nicotine, are used widely in the UK on both ornamental garden plants
However scientists fear that the systemic chemical also makes it into the plants pollen and nectar and this is affecting bees.
While there is doubt over the use of the chemical he suggested a ban. There are a number of studies

And he said the group of chemicals is much better than older versions that had to be sprayed on plants
Researchers have found that organic milk generally contained less saturated fat and more good fatty acids than milk produced at intensive commercial dairy farms.
While protein, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and some mono and polyunsaturated fatty acids in milk are considered beneficial, saturated fatty acids are believed to have a negative effect on human health.
Were always being told to cut down on the saturated fat we consume and switching to organic milk

The FAO reports that there are more than1000 edible insect species. Insects can provide protein in the diet at a much lower environmental cost than traditional livestock, such as cows, pigs, or sheep.
focusing especially on developing areas where protein supplies are scarce and sustainable harvesting of insects can contribute to both nutritional and economic improvements.
Insects offer many advantages as a sustainable source of protein. The cold-blooded creatures require less feed to produce proteins.
For example, a cricket can produce the protein equivalent of cows with six times less feed. Furthermore, insects can often feed on organic waste matter.
Moreover insects are considered already delicacies in many cultures, and the practice of eating insects goes back millenia.
insects offer healthy nutritional value including largely unsaturated fats, high iron content, minerals, and vitamins.
Of course, no campaign to market a new food trend can get around the fundamental question: how do they taste?
Age influenced the consumption of fats and sugar, both of which declined among older households. But perhaps most surprising
