‘I am a skeptic not just about global warming but also about many other aspects of science…Climate is too complicated to attribute its variability to one cause. We first need to understand the natural climate variability (which we clearly don’t; I can debate anybody on this issue). Only then we can assess the magnitude and reasons of climate change.’
‘If science were settled, then we should pack things up and go home.’

The breakthrough is only the second time scientists have seen such a repeating radio burst. It both deepens the mystery and offers a potential opportunity to finally understand what might be throwing out the burst from a galaxy billions of light years away.

“…despite the loss of good denning areas and a shrinking habitat for hunting, Svalbard’s bears seem to be doing fine…The sea ice season is now several months shorter, and the ice edge typically lies several degrees further north than what was normal 20-40 years ago….Polar bears can survive long periods without food, provided they have accumulated a good fat reserve during the few months in spring and summer when sea ice is present, and seals are abundant.” [Jon Aars, Norwegian Polar Institute, 2018]

If you’re a man you already know that your testosterone levels are pretty important. So it might be a little scary to learn that testosterone levels are going down at a fast pace for American men.
According to the “Massachusetts Male Aging Study” between the year 1987 and 2004 testosterone levels have dropped by about 17 percent, and they’re dropping by about 1.2 percent per year. The observations in this study are also consistent with other long term trends including a decrease in overall sperm quality.
