With coastal areas bracing for rising sea levels, new research indicates that cutting emissions of certain pollutants can greatly slow down sea level rise this century.

A research team found that reductions in just FOUR pollutants that cycle comparatively quickly through the atmosphere could temporarily forestall the rate of sea level rise by 25 to 50%.

As glaciers and ice sheets melt and warming oceans expand, sea levels have been rising by an average of about 3 millimeters annually in recent years (just more than one-tenth of an inch). If temperatures continue to warm, sea levels are projected to rise between 7 and 23 inches this century. Some scientists, however, feel those estimates are too conservative.

A new branch of science has to do with being zapped by light. Contactees (NOTE: Subscribers can listen to this provocative interview) often see blue lights, but what office workers may soon see in the future is RED lights: a new study shows they increase alertness, especially during the after-lunch "energy dip."

More work incidents and performance failures–even car accidents–occur in the mid-afternoon hours from 2-4 pm, about 16-18 hours after an your bedtime the night before.

Scientists don’t understand the recent slowdown in climate change that is occurring, DESPITE a rise in global greenhouse gas emissions.

Is God looking out for us? (NOTE: Subscribers can still listen to this show)

Some of their theories are that deep oceans have sucked up more heat, with the result that their surfaces are cooler than expected. Another, not-so-good one, is that pollution f rom Asia is actually helping, by blocking the sun. read more

The war on drugs isn’t working, so it’s time to shine some light on the subject. By stimulating one part of the brain with laser light, researchers have shown that they can wipe away addictive behavior in rats–or do the opposite: turn non-addicted rats into compulsive cocaine seekers.

An estimated 1.4 million Americans addicted to that drug, and it’s frequently the cause of emergency room visits–482,188 in 2008 alone–and it is a top cause of heart attacks and strokes for people under 35.
