| Stephen Hawking is wrong about runaway greenhouse on Earth and here's why Posted: 03 Jul 2017 08:16 AM PDT  Stephen Hawking is a world-renowned theoretical physicist whose landmark contributions to cosmology, general relativity and quantum gravity changed the way we see the universe. SEE ALSO: Stephen Hawking warns artificial intelligence could end humankind However, when it comes to climate change, the brilliant physicist is veering on the edge of total inaccuracy. During his interview with the BBC for his 75th birthday celebrations, the Cambridge professor warned that U.S. president Donald Trump's decision to pull out of the Paris climate agreement may lead to runaway global warming, eventually turning Earth's atmosphere into something resembling Venus. "We are close to the tipping point where global warming becomes irreversible. Trump's action could push the Earth over the brink, to become like Venus, with a temperature of two hundred and fifty degrees, and raining sulphuric acid," Hawking told BBC News. While the prospect of the Earth morphing into Venus makes for a visually striking image, some climate change experts questioned the accuracy of his statement. Among them, Zeke Hausfather, a climate scientist and energy systems analyst at Berkeley Earth and Gareth Jones, climate scientist at the Met Office: A good example that even brilliant scientists sometimes say silly things when it's outside their field of expertise (see Nobel disease) https://t.co/QPsmB1bsv0 — Zeke Hausfather (@hausfath) July 2, 2017 Unfortunately Stephen Hawking has said this before. Not aware of any evidence for runaway greenhouse on Earth https://t.co/Z0rK27rE7q pic.twitter.com/FHCAtKZVsW — Gareth S Jones (@GarethSJones1) July 2, 2017 The problem with Hawking's answer is that there's no possibility of Venus' runaway greenhouse conditions occurring on Earth as of now (the situation will be different in a billion years with sun becoming 10% brighter). Different story in billions of years time when Sun older and brighter. I suspect our politics will be quite different by then ;-) — Gareth S Jones (@GarethSJones1) July 2, 2017 Hansen's argument The physicist's response may be based on a controversial argument included in famed climate scientist James Hansen's book Storms of my Grandchildren, published in 2009 . In the book, Hansen argues that if we burn all reserves of oil, gas and coal "there is a substantial chance we will initiate the runaway greenhouse". "If we also burn the tar sands and tar shale, I believe the Venus syndrome is a dead certainty," he continues. Scientists think Venus experienced the runaway greenhouse early in its history. Just like the Earth, the planet once had an ocean but being closer to the sun, the atmosphere became so hot that hydrogen could escape from the upper atmosphere. Today, Venus has a think atmosphere that is 96.5% CO2, which keeps its surface at nearly 900°F (482°C), and a surface pressure of 90 bars — as opposed to 1 bar on Earth. Hansen's argument was that the same could happen on Earth based not on the proximity to a brightening sun but from fossil fuel-burning humans. This is because of a positive feedback loop happening now on Earth — carbon dioxide warms the planet through the by trapping more heat in the atmosphere and oceans, causing more water to evaporate into the air, which subsequently amplifies the warming, as water vapor is also a greenhouse gas. Not in a billion years Earlier studies dismissed the possibility of a runaway state as impossible, but a paper published in Nature Geoscience in 2013 argued that "the runaway greenhouse may be much easier to initiate than previously thought." Much easier and theoretically possible, however, doesn't mean it will happen anytime now or for the next billion years, even if we burn all the fossil fuel available. The paper's lead author, Colin Goldblatt of the University of Victoria in British Columbia, explained the conditions according to which the runaway greenhouse could actually happen on this planet: In short, to cause Venus' runaway greenhouse today you'll need ten times the amount of CO2 we could release from burning all the coal, oil, and gas. That will eventually happen as the sun becomes older and brighter, which is "in somewhere between half a billion and a billion years." Hansen himself corrected his theory later on, writing that Venus-like conditions in the sense of 90 bar surface pressure and surface temperature of several hundred degrees "are only plausible on billion-year time scales". It is also worth mentioning that other scientists, such as James Kasting, a geoscientist at The Pennsylvania State University, are still skeptical that an anthropogenic runaway could actually happen.

| 16 striking murals that show the devastating effects of climate change Posted: 02 Jul 2017 06:00 AM PDT  A large sweeping mural in the far north of Canada says all you need to know about a new climate change awareness project: "Know I'm Here" is painted in big white letters across a squat gray building. Local ecosystems are suffering in the area due to climate change, and yet the dangers are often overlooked. Two environmental nonprofits are hoping to use art to get people's attention. SEE ALSO: The 'debate' Rick Perry wants to hold on global warming is total BS The PangeaSeed Foundation and Kal Barteski (founder of the The Polar Bear Fund), have teamed up to bring artists to Churchill, Manitoba, Canada to paint 16 large-scale public murals. The murals, which were completed near the end of June, explore the history of the province and highlight the devastating effects of climate change on local ecosystems. Called SeaWalls Churchill, the art project is the latest installment of the larger SeaWalls: Artists for Oceans, which began in 2014. The goal is to use art to generate awareness of the dangers oceans face today. While the larger SeaWalls spans over 300 murals in 12 different countries, SeaWalls Churchill is unique because it is the first time the project has been brought somewhere "sub-arctic," an area just south of the Arctic Circle. Churchill has large polar bear and beluga whale populations and a wide array of birds, which influenced the location choice. The murals are meant to call attention to the importance of protecting the oceans and shed light on the dangers the polar bears face due to melting sea ice and habitat destruction. However, it's important to note that while raising awareness of the plight of the polar bears is a worthy cause and appropriate for the location, the bears have become a problematic mascot for climate change as many do not see the animals in their everyday lives. Climate change is hitting home for millions of people around the world in other ways, as well. Still, here's hoping the beautiful artwork serves as a cautionary reminder for all of us.

| World’s most accurate Apple insider has some bad news about the iPhone 8 Posted: 03 Jul 2017 07:54 AM PDT 
Earlier today, we shared 10 big iPhone 8 revelations offered in a fresh new note by the world's most trustworthy source of Apple leaks. KGI securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has proven time and time again that his inside sources are the real deal. He regularly shares accurate information surrounding unreleased Apple devices, and on Monday he set his sights on Apple's upcoming new iPhone 8 flagship phone. The analyst shared all sorts of details surrounding the hotly anticipated new iPhone 8 (which, by the way, won't be called the iPhone 8), and most of the information he shared was good news. Unfortunately, however, there was one detail mixed in there that would be awful news if it's true. Much of what Kuo had to say in his extensive note to clients on Monday morning mirrored reports and rumors we've already read numerous times. The analyst says Apple plans to release three new iPhones in 2017, including 4.7- and 5.5-inch models with LCD displays and a completely redesigned 5.8-inch iPhone with an OLED display. To be frank, there weren't many surprises in Kuo's latest note to clients — and the one big surprise that was in his note was very, very bad news. According to the analyst, Apple's next-generation OLED iPhone will indeed ditch the physical home button beneath the display. As a result, Kuo says Apple will achieve the best screen-to-body ratio in the industry among widely available flagship phones. That's obviously good news. The bad news, according to Kuo, is that there will not be a Touch ID fingerprint sensor embedded in the screen, as we've all been expecting. Kuo doesn't explicitly state that Apple is moving the fingerprint scanner to the back of the phone, and none of the latest iPhone 8 leaks we've seen show any space for a scanner on the back. According to the analyst, Apple may omit Touch ID from its next-generation iPhone entirely. We sincerely hope that Kuo's lines got crossed somewhere, because ditching Touch ID in favor of facial recognition would be a massive step backward in terms of user experience. No matter how fast and accurate Apple's 3D facial scanning is on the iPhone 8, a user still wouldn't be able to unlock the iPhone without lifting it up and pointing it directly at his or her face.

| Oh boy, Florida residents can now challenge the science taught in public schools Posted: 02 Jul 2017 01:35 PM PDT  Parents have fought successfully over the years to ban books like the Harry Potter series and Catcher and the Rye from public schools. Now in Florida, residents could possibly do the same with textbooks about the science behind climate change and evolution. Last week, Republican Gov. Rick Scott signed legislation that makes it easier for any Florida resident to object to classroom materials they don't like. SEE ALSO: Climate researchers shot down Trump's EPA administrator in the nerdiest way imaginable The statute, which took effect on Saturday, requires district school boards to hire an "unbiased and qualified hearing officer" who could deem things like textbooks, movies, and novels as unsuitable and require they not be used. Before this legislation, residents could only take their complaints to local school boards. Florida Gov. Rick Scott, right, on June 28 signed legislation that requires school boards to hire an "unbiased hearing officer" who will handle complaints about instructional materials used in local schools.Image: AP/REX/ShutterstockProponents of Florida's measure have argued that state-approved textbooks are "too liberal," and that some books in school libraries are inappropriate. In a Feb. 1 affidavit to lawmakers, one supporter asked to remove books about Cuba from elementary school libraries, complaining that they "glorified" Fidel Castro's Communist ideals. As a certified teacher, she said she's witnessed "children being taught that Global Warming is a reality." Yet when "parents question these theories, they are ignored," she wrote. Another woman lamented in an affidavit that evolution is "presented as fact," when she believes it's fiction. Teachers, scientists, and free speech advocates who oppose the new statute have said they're worried the measure will allow school districts to shape curricula around people's beliefs — not the mainstream scientific consensus. "School boards will become inundated with demands that certain books be outright banned and that schools must discontinue using textbooks that don't mesh with a vocal minority's ideological views," said Brandon Haught, a high school science teacher and member of Florida Citizens for Science, the Orlando Sentinel reported in April. Protestors march around downtown Denver at the People's Climate March on April 29, 2017.Image: marc piscotty/Getty ImagesFlorida's statute is one of 13 measures proposed this year that the National Council for Science Education considers to be "anti-science," the Washington Post recently noted. Alabama and Indiana, for instance, both adopted non-binding resolutions to promote the "academic freedom" of science teachers in the state's public schools. Educators are encouraged to "teach the controversy" around "biological evolution, the chemical origins of life, global warming, and human cloning." Legislators and parents aren't the only ones putting pressure on public school teachers. This spring, the Heartland Institute, a libertarian think tank, mailed books and DVDs to 25,000 U.S. science teachers that speak falsely about a "disagreement" among scientists on global warming. The campaign ultimately aims to reach more than 200,000 K-12 science teachers, PBS's Frontline reported in March. Haught, from Florida Citizens for Science, urged residents to "stand up for sound science eduction." "The fight will now be won or lost where you live," he wrote in a June 26 blog post.

The study used a statistical technique known as geometric morphometrics to identify similarities in skulls from three Italian graveyards dating from between the first and third centuries A.D., when the Roman Empire was at its height. Precise three-dimensional measurements of dozens of skulls from two of the graveyards showed distinct regional differences, which the researchers interpreted as a sign of a common ancestry among many people in those regions.

| Elon Musk finally just announced when Tesla Model 3 deliveries will begin Posted: 03 Jul 2017 06:18 AM PDT  Tesla is already a household name, and the company's Model S sports sedan and Model X crossover are highly sought-after vehicles that represent the future of electric transportation, but it's the Model 3 that could truly change the automotive landscape forever. The company's first pitch to the mass market, the Tesla Model 3 is the most affordable car the company has produced by a mile, and the public has been waiting for it to hit the pavement ever since its debut over a year ago. Now, Elon Musk has revealed when the first Model 3s will actually be delivered, and it's right around the corner. Musk, taking to Twitter as he's known to do, revealed that the first batch of Model 3 vehicles will be given to buyers on July 28th. The company is holding a "handover party" for the occasion, but the first run of the new vehicles is a fairly small number; just 30 of the cars will be ready by the end of July. https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/881755501905588226 However, as Musk notes, production of the Model 3 is increasing "exponentially," and in August there will be 100 of them ready for buyers, then 1,500 by September, and so on. "Looks like we can reach 20,000 Model 3 cars per month in Dec," Musk said. Looking farther ahead, Tesla is hoping to have as many as 500,000 Model 3 vehicles produced per year by 2018, and a full one million by 2020. That is, of course, if demand matches the company's expectations. Tesla has revealed that it received nearly a half million pre-orders for the car already, which is a pretty good sign that it's on track to become the most popular consumer-level electric vehicle on the planet.
