personal observation
60 day delay/all these supposed 'temporary suspensions' that often lead onto permanents
your new President may be heading America into the reported Trump bussiness failures instead of making America great again duh'

lets hope Trumps not keeping all/any trade exclusivly for the USA markets etc cutting out other countries livings
CHINA/RUSSIA/INDIA etc could likely pick up cheaper trade if thats the case,other mouths to feed in the world
end up being more of an excuse for future USA angst to be thrown at these other countries

could be to the USAs detriment if it becomes selfishly independanty protecting its own people/markets

How Are the Earth’s Continents and Oceans Changing?

Geologists believe that the continent of Africa is slowly being split in
two by what will become a new ocean.

Geologists think that Africa could split into two separate land masses
sometime within the next 10 million years. An international team of
scientists has been documenting the effects of a continental rift that is
forming as the Arabian and African plates drift apart. Specifically, they
are studying a 37-mile-long (60 km) crack in the Earth’s crust in the
Afar region of Ethiopia, which split open in 2005 during a volcanic
eruption. Geologists expect the drift to continue to widen and lengthen.
Eventually, it is expected to reach the east coast of Ethiopia and fill
with seawater.

"It's commonly known within the anti-asbestos movement internationally that the pro-asbestos lobby is the Russian mafia," he said.

"They work in a way where they intimidate, they're engaged in corrupt activity.

"There's been rumours circulating, certainly, of money crossing hands with international politicians."

Wuzzies are good swimmers, so we're not too concerned with melting ice sheets.

‘Science march’ to challenge Trump’s climate change views

Published on Feb 4, 2017
With the new Trump administration questioning the existence of climate change, The National Science March - which began as a suggestion on Facebook - has turned into a fully-fledged organisation.
On April 22 the group wants to convince the country to listen to its scientists instead of its politicians.
But can a march really make a difference?


quite interesting

Americans love vaccines. People in the United States overwhelmingly support childhood vaccination against measles, mumps and rubella, according to the Pew Research Center. In a November poll, 88% of people surveyed said the benefits of vaccines outweigh the risks, and 82% supported required immunization against the diseases at state schools. The news comes at time when many in the scientific and medical communities are concerned about President Donald Trump’s criticisms of vaccines and about his proposed ‘vaccine safety’ commission, an idea Nature has called biased and dangerous. (Washington Post; Pew survey)
Trump’s vaccine-commission idea is biased and dangerous
Scientists must fight back with the truth about the debunked link between vaccines and autism.

New 'super yield' GM wheat trial gets go-ahead

GM wheat trial approved. A research lab in the United Kingdom has been granted permission to begin field trials of a wheat plant modified to have improved photosynthesis. Researchers at Rothamsted Research have already shown that GM wheat plants modified with a gene from stiff brome grass are more efficient at photosynthesis in greenhouses, and they now hope to see improved yields from plants in the wild. Previous GM trials at Rothamsted attracted small but high-profile protests in 2012, and researchers from the laboratory have been among the leading advocates for GM plants in Europe. (BBC)

Solar power boost. China more than doubled its installed photovoltaic (PV) capacity last year, making it the world's biggest producer of solar energy by capacity. The country's installed PV rose to 77.42 gigawatts, and is a step towards the increase of 110 gigawatts from 2016-2020 that China is targeting as part of its solar power development plan. The 2016 increase makes the country the biggest solar energy producer by capacity, but it's less impressive relative to the size of China’s huge population. (Reuters)

Good Luck Killing the EPA

Dismembering the agency requires changing 45 years

Good luck destroying the EPA. Dismembering the agency could require changing 45 years worth of laws, warns one Republican who ran it. As Trump and Congress take a hard look at environmental rules, former administrators have pointed out that shredding the EPA willy-nilly would also hamstring businesses, which rely on it for approval and permits.

Last month, the Environment Protection Authority (EPA) reduced stocking limits from 20,000 tonnes to 14,000 to address deteriorating conditions in the harbour.

Could Cows Help Fight Climate Change?

Livestock are responsible for 44% of all human-caused methane emissions. Mexican researchers have now discovered that supplementing cow feed with tropical leaves and flowers native to Mexico could reduce emissions by 36%.

Our whale was emaciated; little fat and low weight. But its stomach was full of plastic, which likely killed it.

Blackouts predicted for SA, NSW due to heat

Updated: 5:18 am, Friday, 10 February 2017

Australia braces for blackouts. A heatwave that will bring temperatures of 40°C (104°F) to South Australia and New South Wales could lead to demand spikes and electricity shortfalls. Prime minister Malcolm Turnball says an “ideological” shift toward renewable energy has hurt reliability.
The video selected is not currently available.

A spike in electricity demand in South Australia and NSW on Friday as temperatures soar over 40 degrees could lead to blackouts.

The Puzzle of Pilot Whales
Only 100 pilot whales survived after a large pod of 416 stranded on Farewell Spit last night. It is one of the country's largest mass strandings. The whales strand on our shores in greater numbers than any other species of whale. Why?

ironically this is happening now

New Zealanders race to save whales after 400 stranded

WELLINGTON, New Zealand — It was the sound of soft sighs and cries in the half-light that first struck Cheree Morrison, and then as the dawn broke she began to see the extent of the carnage — more than 400 whales had swum aground along a remote New Zealand beach.

Farewell Spit, a sliver of sand that arches like a hook into the Tasman Sea, seems to confuse whales and has been the site of previous mass strandings.

Department of Conservation community ranger Kath Inwood said about 300 volunteers had joined conservation workers on the beach.

New Zealand has one of the highest rates of whale strandings in the world, and Friday's event is the nation's third-biggest recorded stranding
