An Inconvenient Truth

This trailer is for the forthcoming film about the risks of climate chaos, disaster, catastrophe etc... And guess what?! On the website under the science link you see an interesting "fact"

More than a million species worldwide could be driven to extinction by 2050.

I wonder where they got that figure from..........

Blue Marble

After reading a slightly surreal paper yesterday on the CBD that made repeated references to Martians and how NASA should spend it's money on monitoring our largely unknown Earth rather than looking for a few fossilised cells on Mars I thought i'd post a mosaic image of the Blue Marble that NASA has just completed. The full images of both hemispheres are about 300 megapixels each!
