Climate hits us

Imatge
Explain a tale that two rabbit saw a group of animals came running towards them. When seeing them, instead of putting on a prudent defense, they started a discussion on whether greyhounds were coming hunt both or a few pigs who gave them a ride. While they were discussing whether something or other, the pack of dogs reached a distance where they could not distinguish if they were, but it's too late to flee. Today regarding climate change will still discussing whether or not when already noticed this breath. Extreme weather devastation Where are the deniers of climate change? Even a year ago at the height snowstorm in the Northeast US, a congressman of science committee had the nerve to show a snowball and questioning the science on global warming; Today the Northeastern US which has almost summer temperatures, we should ask him where are his hidden snowball. At Christmas 2013 and 2014 entry a sudden cold wave in the summer of Antarctica caused hilarity of the skepti...

Nants ingonyama bagithi Baba (Christmas 2015)

Felicitació en català:   Earth along its orbit tirelessly returns to the starting point each year. This point is completely arbitrary, each culture has its; however we put this starting point we have established in our hemisphere when the day begins to regain lost ground in the evening, announcing the return of life. Solstices and equinoxes will happen in a ritual that from our perspective seems eternal, but that is only one more stage in the ritual of life and death of stars in a galaxy. At this point of balance where we celebrate newcomers and we miss who left us, the passing of time shows as so clear. Children are becoming big and big people grow old. Life is like athletics tracks when come back at the starting point each four hundred meters, but with one lap more; after your strength exhausted and when you leave the witness at the next runner, just as it passed to you when you started to run. It may seem that our existence is totally banal. In late is gone once we last...

More than words we need to solve Climate Change

Imatge
A week from the Paris summit on Climate Change , the umpteenth summit short, it seems that already have a firm commitment. Despite rumors so that to achieve a global commitment has begun to thin, and certainly this end the umpteenth summit bankruptcy. The point is that we have the G20 and the EU to form the block of developed countries, these are countries that issue, as well as due to economic globalization oblige countries to be also highly polluting. And on the other side we have the capital world of the need to produce as much energy to transport, has opted for the safest source of energy are: fossil fuels. As I explained in " Why the oil and coal consumption increase every day? " Everyone is embarked on this energy, now leave it would cause many losses. Extreme weather growth We passed many years of climate conferences and summits with big headlines, statements, commitments and timetables which we never fulfilled. One reason for this was the lack of awarenes...

Humans evolved towards Borg or we will fall in love to own smartphone

Some days before, one post title caught my attention: “ In The Future We Will All FallMadly in Love With Our Toasters ” (by Tom Critchlow). He pondered about the relation between us and our electronic kits. I used word kit with the two senses because our relation with the smart phone is deeper than own sons . What are a person when the lamp has the same reactions Is Pinokio only a lamp? It could possible to fall in love with the cat. However it’s a living being and gives you its senses and affection ( cat sometimes, dog forever and ever ). But toast is something and inanimate, nevertheless in this post shows the a little film ( IsPinokio only a lamp? In Vimeo, but the extend version is linked below in Youtube) when the lamp take animation and interacted with our movements and expression. I remember an old cat that every morning climbed on Romba (sweeping robot) which carry it for all the house, but the most interest was seeing cat go to Romba when it was stop and remain...

Music is fireworks for our brain

Imatge
In studies of the areas in the brain used for different activities it shows that hear or play music involves the whole brain. We can look for differences between animals and us, but let's be honest not exist , because we are animals like them . But if something sets us apart a little, isn't the language, however even after the plants have it; but is the ability to generate music . We've all seen cats playing pianos, and even a donkey was a flutist, but they don’t really make music; most cats, even playing notes at will, only cause leaving vibrations that produce pleasure, but don’t try to play a melody. It may be the first stage in that hominids began to contact with the music, but missing most importantly see each sounds and our relation like one. Músic the path of dreams Scanners, CT or MRI are, let see what parts of the brain are active, and even observe that activates when a particular activity is made. It is generally observed that each type of activit...

“That's one small step for a man, a giant leap for mankind” but we wait the second

Imatge
July 20, 1969 Neil Armstrong descended the stairs of the lunar module Eagle and uttered the famous phrase " one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind ." At that moment the moon was still a reference in the sky to become a place; and certainly the time during the Cold War it became a collective catharsis regardless of the flag which ended planted on its surface. Definitely they stood before one of the most important milestones of mankind, to compare of the domain of fire. Apollo XI But December 14, 1972 in Eugene Cernan and Harrison Schmitt left the Moon, we never return. In these 45 years there has been speculation about the cause of no return, including the possibility that it was all staged. This was the Apollo XVII was provided to 20, but US have won the race to the Russians, added the fact that people had also lost interest, and maxing coinciding with the oil crisis, ended the program. But were these the primary reason? The moon is far, more fa...

In 30 years it has increased the pace of accumulation of CO2 in the atmosphere

Imatge
A UN report shows that the rate of accumulation of CO 2 and other gases is increasing year after year It will soon be 17 years from the signing of the Kyoto Protocol that drove reducing emissions of greenhouse gases. Part of the protocol referred to CFC s already being eradicated because of another also deleterious effect on the atmosphere was fulfilled: the destruction of the ozone layer; but the most important reducing CO 2 emissions from the combustion of hydrocarbon energy to achieve, not only it hasn’t been met but that emissions have increased. A report commissioned by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) shows that in the last 30 years CO 2 is still accumulating in the atmosphere, it also shows an acceleration almost double the rate of accumulation was in the 80s . The consequence is clear the average temperatures increases, due to the greenhouse effect, the effect caused by CO 2 and other gases, decreases the amount of heat rele...

Mankind is melding by own hot

Coaching is a great fashion who wants to success in the life. Really I didn’t think that it’s necessary but it could help us when we’re lost. A personal couch is only the classical counselor, someone with experience or knowledge who gives us other point of view, and she/he shows us several possible actions about this problem; the difference is the professionalism and academic knowledge. Today mankind needs a couch, because we are lost . Indian suffers an extreme hot wave. More than 500 people have died and hot are so intense that asphalt pavement is melting ( literal view photo ). Obviously extreme weather has always been independent of climate; but simultaneously US California has the same rain that Mexicana California: any drop; dry Texas is flooding, and in Rocky Mountains didn’t snow in the winter while US east coast has suffer several cool waves. USA weather is knowing in all the World thanks their potent press industry, but Europe doesn’t safe from these disasters; and in o...

John Nash and the death of Alpha Male

Imatge
“John Nash 1928 – 2015 mathematician Nobel Prix of economy” Attila is attributed to the phrase "the most important thing isn’t winning, but other opponents are defeated".  This sentence is an obvious extreme: if everyone wins nobody won. That we have examples everywhere, everyone who isn’t the first in race has lost; and no matter how well you run or had overcome more difficulties than others, what mattered was who first crosses to the finish line. Not only in sport are examples. In the workplace it every day H ow many people are fighting a struggle against the competition with the result of a victory and ruin the rest? Normally the losers have done less merit than the winner, although details have decided that fortune has tipped to one side or another of the net ( Match Point (Woody Allen).) Every race there are one only winner But the Attila’s phrase has more significance of which seems, as I explain in " Absolutism a gene more of human beings " h...

The fossil CO2 is going out Permafrost

Imatge
In July of 2014 irrupts the amazing news of the discovery in Permafrost one huge crater of about 80 meters in diameter in a remote part of Siberi, specifically in Yamal Peninsula. The needed of the time to arrive until this far region, created a mount of urban tales that what could it be. From first images we can observe the considerable. The news had spread like wildfire because of the legend of " Well to Hell " (Well where we could go down to hell) that is supposed to Siberia , although this urban legend is the result of the craters produced by opencast Russian that can be seen from satellite. Several hypotheses have been considered. First they think about the possibility of a meteorite, probably induced by the psychosis that produced the massive drop in a year, but can rule out the tubular shape of it. Today we know taht is a gas explosion, logical that area is the largest number of farms and gas resources of Russia, and also in very small scale found in the Permafrost A...
