In 1991, as a result of global warming, a 5,300-year-old corpse was discovered in the melting snow of the Alps. He became known as “Oetzi,” after the Oetz Valley where he was found. Scientists have learned a lot about what life was like in prehistoric times by studying his body. Now they’ve finally figured out how he died.

BBC News reports that Oetzi bled to death from a ruptured artery, caused by an arrow that struck him in the shoulder. He had been shot in the back, perhaps while fleeing from a fight. According to BBC News, Oetzi was 46 years old, a little over 5 feet tall, and had arthritis, as well as worms.

We haven’t announced OUR death yet, but if we don’t get more support from readers and listeners like you, we might have to very soon.

Saturday night on Coast to Coast AM, Whitley Strieber and Art Bell had a dynamic discussion about global warming, including the hurricane in the Middle East and the melting of Greenland. Now storms are drowning parts of Australia and China.

At least nine people have been killed by heavy storms in New South Wales, Australia, and over 100,000 homes are without electricity. Winds are gusting at 60 mph. Gale-force winds and rising flood waters have forced the evacuation of thousands of people in New South Wales. BBC News quotes one Newcastle resident as saying, "I went to the main street?and it was like a screen from a zombie movie: cars were in the middle of the street, buildings had caved in and there was no light and no-one else around."

This administration has been adamantly against stem cell research based on embryos, so scientists have been trying to figure out how to create these valuable medical tools, which can be turned into almost any kind of replacement organ, in another way. Now they think they can be made from our own skin.

Embryonic stem cells are unique because they can develop into virtually any kind of tissue type. To create them, an individual?s DNA would be placed into a human egg, resulting in a blastocyst that houses a supply of stem cells. But until recently, to access these cells, researchers would have had to destroy a viable embryo.
