That trees make noise (beyond the delicate rustle of leaves in the wind) is no secret.
And for some with an approaching storm comes aches pains ouches from some people as the weather effects their arthritis.
-when the species environment is changing. The species with the least amount of these oddities have the hardest time dealing with change.
They were all part of the same intellectual climate of the time. Darwin saw what he saw through the lens of his time
but that proportion can change depending on environmental factors. Swarming Effect When a queen gets old she flees the hive with a swarm of mostly nurse bees leaving the colony and its larvae to her successor.
If anyone was worried about the longer-term environmental consequences there is no evidence of it. A generation later when investigators finally assessed the damage they identified two dozen major hazardous waste sites in Ocean County alone including seven farms and three town dumps.
Not to mention the 90%or so of that water that ends up back in our environment when you flush your toilet water your lawns..
And at the same time they have managed to dump it into our environment anyway slowly poison us all as the fluorosis of our bones teeth organs causes many many medical conditions that we simply write off as unfortunate cases of cancer arthritis allergies old age etc..

and break in a hurricane or snowstorm you might be able to determine the best ways to stop that from happening.
NASA Glenn engineer Matt Melis joined forces with Cleveland arborist Mark Hoenigman and used stereo photogrammetry to examine the trees.

It's the latest publication from James Hansen NASA's fiery climate change scientist who is retiring on Wednesday after 46 years with the space agency.
The paper does acknowledge the serious health and environmental concerns related to storage of nuclear waste.
The paper has been accepted for publication in the journal Environmental science & Technology and it comes in the same week that Hansen 72 said he will retire.
He is respected a widely climate researcher but in the past several years has become much more than a scientist becoming involved in climate protests and even getting himself arrested a few times.
He unapologetically beats the drum for human-caused climate change and its current effects. Even climate scientists have said he can be alarmist
and he has rankled environmental groups with his support for nuclear power. With his departure from NASA the climate research community loses one of its most vocal members
and the climate-denialists lose one of their favorite punching bags. But Hansen told the New york times he plans to continue his activism after he retires including taking on the federal government in lawsuits.
As a government employee you can't testify against the government he told the Times.
The safety of nuclear energy is equal to flying an airplane. On a typical day life is good
and the world is sweet but when an airplane falls from the sky and you are in it it only ends in as a gigantic disaster.
The same is true of nuclear energy just ask Japan Russia etc..I am not drinking this cool-aid.@
This coming a day after I read that exposure to smog when pregnant doubles the likelihood of diseases such as spina bifida in newborns.

2. A NEW Gallup Poll says over 70%of Americans want more WIND and SOLAR ENERGY. 3. Hansen and Kharecha and everyone should watch the presentations at the Symposium on the Medical
and Ecological Consequences of Fukushima in which the amount of cancers caused by radiation in our food
and in our environment from nuclear meltdowns and nuclear power plants was discussed. The total amounts of deaths birth defects miscarriages heart attacks cancers etc. due to nuclear radiation is in the millions upon millions;
and Wind aren't preferable to Nuclear but I*am*saying Nuclear is by far preferable to filthy coal and oil.@
and the environment would be cleaner too...nice warm happy sigh. Dare to DREAM! One day to be solar is the way to go!
To the (solar and wind are so much better!!!people what you need to take a look at is energy density.
Yes you could replace every watt of energy production with wind and solar...but you would destroy cover
You can replace hundreds of wind turbines and square miles of solar farms with one bnuclear power plant.
The small amount of radiation claimed to be safe by authorities added to our increasingly fragile environment will cause serious harm to the health of human beings and other living organisms all over the world.
Man-made nuclear radiation is wreaking havoc on human genetics human health and our environment. NEW Gallup Poll:
Americans Want More Energy From Wind Solar Gasno fewer than two in three Americans want the U s. to put more emphasis on producing domestic energy using solar power (76%)wind (71%)and natural gas (65%.
and extremely conservative dosage limits set in place to protect the safety of people who work in environments where radiation exposure is commonplace.
88%Wind: 87%Natural gas: 89%Oil: 67%Nuclear power: 65%Coal: 56%In other words generally speaking Americans want to become energy independent through ALL THE resources at our disposal. http://www. gallup. com/file/poll/161525/Energy sources 130327. pdfthis is absolutely true
Some benefits to health and the environment are just a better trade off. We need to do a lot more development towards solar power.
And these benefits also apply to wind and hydroelectric power as well. Solar wind and hydroelectric systems do not pollute
Eventually we will go above the cloud layer for it or we will do without.
but in one other story that was discussing future concepts of skyscrapers one was harnessing noise pollution to create energy another was using volcanos
I believe there are several more means that exist to create energy with relatively fewer adverse effects on the environment f

If you ignore that environmental pressures don't make genetic mutations that almost all genetic mutations are very bad

I believe the term they were looking for was natural selection. obviously the animals smart enough to not get hit by cars would be selected the ones for based on the new environment the birds live in currently.
either help or hinder it depending on the environment. This story is an example of Micro-Evolution (i e.
Whiter rabbits will always do better in snow than black rabbits shorter-legged boars will always do better in denser jungles) The still unproven part of the evolutionary theory (it's still a theory) is Macro Evolution.
Both of these are a non-adaptation to the environment? Why did modern man use the use of some of its internal organs?
It seems ancient primate man was downgraded from living with the natural environment and upgraded to communicate better
and maybe seem unscientifically illogical to believe modern man is a down grade from the natural environment
Fur is a disadvantage in hot environments. I think courtship/mating preferences had something to do with it too.
but we make this opinion in our environment and not the sperm whales environment. The primates continue all over the world in HOT environment with their fur still ON.

The primates continue all over the world in HOT environment with their fur still ON. I did not say all animals must lose their fur in hot environments.
I simply said that losing fur would be an advantage. Some mammals have evolved similarly to humans (mostly hairless) without alien intervention.

Each of the nine zones will have its own sky lobby and atrium tucked between the inner and outer glass walls.
Each sky-lobby floor will have its own retail shops and restaurants making it a sort of vertical neighborhood.
The tower has two glass facades one inside the other essentially a tube within a tube.
The space between them which ranges from 3 to 33 feet provides room for light-filled sky lobbies but it also acts as a Thermos-like insulator so the building needs less active heating and cooling.
Reduced energy use in a supertall is good for the environment and makes the building economically viable.

and that will be critical when the next typhoon hits Shanghai. Read more about the tallest buildings on earth in The Rise of the Supertalls.
Not so fast environmental researcher-turned-journalist Tim de Chant writes on his blog. Trees often don't grow well on top of skyscrapers De Chant explains for a few crucial reasons.
Some plants evolved to live in hot and windy climates and have adaptations to deal with this
Also the weather really sucks. Temperatures are more extreme and the velocity of rain hail snow
and sleet is greater. De Chant advocates spending time and money to preserve ground-level green spaces instead
Common sense would dictate that you use plants on the buildings that are suited best to the climate and conditions.
Besides that after a very short distance rain sleet and snow will reach a maximum velocity anyway.
I would love an explanation of why the velocity of rain hail snow and sleet is greater.
I think precipitation hits terminal velocity pretty quickly after falling from a cloud and after that it is pretty steady.
Maybe this is related to more wind (as a sideways velocity) rather than falling downward faster as seemed to be implied?
And wind isn't either. Up in the mountains the winds routinely top 100 mph
and often up to 150 to 175 mph so the person who wrote this article is just a media sensationalist without any scientific credibility.
and wind from and'Armchair Architect'(if there ever was one). Hail rain etc would go faster higher up
which might mean just a couple hundred feet in cloudy weather or much further than the recommended 400 feet in good weather.
but the introduction of a whole new category of aircraft to the skies will make things a lot more crowded.
As for this story I find it rather doubtful a pilot could actually see a quadcopter in the middle of the sky (it's hard enough to see them from the ground only a few hundred feet away which is why most quadcopters are flown through video cameras)

#Obama's Finally Serious About Climate Changepresident Obama promised to make meaningful progress on the issue of climate change in the State of the Union Address last night.
Since his reelection Obama has vowed to take charge on the issue of climate change in his second term.
and crippling drought and more powerful storms he said in his inaugural address in January. The path towards sustainable energy sources will be long and sometimes difficult.
Obama also urged Congress to pass a bipartisan market-based solution to climate Change of course that's a tall order in this volatile political climate
so he followed up with a pledge to wield his executive power to combat climate change.
and in the future to reduce pollution prepare our communities for the consequences of climate change and speed the transition to more sustainable sources of energy Obama said.
We must go all-in on clean energy he continued generating more wind energy and lowering costs for solar energy.
and Climate Policy and we want your input. Submit any questions you have on energy and the environment here on Twitter(@popsci#WHCHAT or#SOTU) or on Facebook.
Oh no! If he's as serious about climate change as he was about fixing the economy we might as well just off ourselves today.
First AGW is bogus (CO2 has increased from being 0. 03%of the atmosphere to being 0. 04%.
and they cause REAL damage to the environment with all the pollution they spew out. We could cut our CO2 emissions to 0
and if there was going to be a runaway apocalyptic extreme hot cold front (what are we expecting
now that we're calling it climate change?)that freeze-broils everything On earth it's still going to happen.
The Reefer Madness of our Climate Change War is to Obama what the Iraq War was to Bush
but at least Bush didn't issue CO2 death threats from an exaggerated climate crisis to my kids and billions of others.
So climate change is a non issue. Anyone can understand this even if their IQ is only 116...
and taxing for man made climate change. Cant call it global warming because that has been proven to be false.
Opt2-Due to the cost of air and water pollution to the taxpayer we are going to seek a ballance in which buisness is successful
Success. The problem is not the goals-we all want a great environment. The problem is in the causation (latest ecocrisis) and means (government power grab.
but none can avoid the devastating impact of raging fires and crippling drought and more powerful storms.
However the overwhelming consensus of opinion among (self-selection biased) climate scientists is that humans are causing warming.
i e. rainfall. Again there is no evidence that recent droughts are any more devastating or widespread than others in the last century.
More powerful storms have nothing to do with warming. There is (again) no evidence that storms are more powerful or frequent than others in the last century.
For the uninformed the power of a storm is directly related to the DIFFERENCE in temperature of the atmosphere
and the underlying land or ocean surface and the amount of water vapor in the air. Warm air (high pressure) over warm water is fairly stable
and the oceans and land stay the same temperature storms will become LESS violent. If the atmosphere and the oceans and land warm at about the same rate--as global warmists assert--there will be no difference in the violence or frequency of storms;
which incidentally is what the data actually shows. In once sentence Obama preys on the unsubstantiated fears of the uninformed to further promote his already proven failure of an agenda.
And as or the amount of co2 in the atmosphere it does not take a lot to change the climate only say 50 million tons a year
I'm no climate scientist but I do know that most climate scientist are believing the climate is changing in a bad way.
Yes there are scientist claiming that this isn't happening but they are a minority. Anyone saying anything else should log out from Google and search around some.
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the chief greenhouse gas that results from human activities and causes global warming and climate change.

It's called climate change. Global warming is a phrase for the ignorant. Look things up yourself.
and stuff are people telling you that snowstorms are proof that global temperature is dropping.
because when you have warmer weather in places wind patterns change. There are different air pressures different air temperatures different wind speeds etc.
This would lead to cold fronts hitting places like Boston harder since the weather is exacerbated by climate change.
So warmer weather because of a dying ozone layer causes colder weather in other places. Stop denying climate change.
It exists and we have to do something about it. To deny it is irresponsible. The amount of scientific illiteracy (i e. anthrogenic climate change is a hoax!
in this thread is disappointing. I wonder why people who distrust science would be interested in a source called popular science in the first place.
Cyback of Prexus I made a slight error when I said 50 million that was supposed to be 50 billion tons.
Wait a second...if belching bovines and manure piles are having such a devastating effect on our global temperature shouldn't temperatures have plummeted in 1879 with the wholesale slaughter of 5 million buffalo?

#Even Hobby Drones Could Be made Illegal In Texason a hazy day last January an unmanned aircraft enthusiast piloted his camera-equipped drone in the vicinity of a Dallas meatpacking plant cruising around 400 feet in the air.
The pilot whose name has not been released notified Texas environmental authorities who launched an investigation.
and even prison time stemming from the water pollution and the plant has since been shuttered. Neighbors had complained about noxious fumes
and other issues for a while according to the local news. But investigators didn't get involved until this drone pilot took his pictures.
Ecologists and animal welfare agencies could use them to hunt down poachers and monitor savannah wildlife.
environmental agencies could use it for air sampling; and developing countries could use it to check crop health.

By the way there are trillions of different critters bugs bacteria virus yeast and molds in the environment and yes birds bugs and animals dodo on our food too.
There is a lot of natural variability in these numbers says Claudia Tebaldi a senior scientist at the independent research organization Climate Central.
But it's definitely behavior that has the imprint of a warming climate. Scientists say this trend will continue.
A report published last year by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change predicted that the lifespan of individual high-temperature records will continue to shorten:
Will someone please tell poopsci that the earth's climate actually goes through warm and cold phases
When they arrived the weather was warm enough to grow grapes. Ultimately global cooling drove the Norsemen back to Greenland and then Iceland.
Other factors have a much higher probability of effecting global climate than C02. And one last point I'd like to make...
is a minor player in the mix of things that go into effecting global climate. Having said that I don't know
