RIP Ray Anderson, you were – and will always be – an inspiration to all of us fighting to change our ways before it’s too late.

Ok i dont know about you but im in need of a laugh and ironically i found it on the internet … (via The Man Without a Facebook video | Crikey)

Not that we need any more bad news today but remember those Japanese nuclear reactors? They didn’t just fizzle out when the eye of the world’s media looks away, no they have gotten much much more dangerous.

I bet this report doesn’t get headlines like the bogus 20,00 jobs lost one did. This title is so soft given the content - i am deeply suspicious of the people who write the headlines for the major dailies as they are often biases against the carbon price while the article often paints a different picture  (via At last, PM gets break on climate plan)

Wonders of the Universe

He had me from the very beginning with this 2500 year old calendar made from towers on a hill side. This BBC doco moved me to tears a few times as the Keanu Reaves look alike professor Brian Fox takes us on a trip through science, via physics’ most profound (he uses that word a lot!) law - the 2nd law which describes why time moves in just one direction (which leads to the law of entropy which is as profound an explanation as you’ll get outside a hermit’s cave) and the universe is destined to die (as we know it) but long after we and all life will have died.

The miniscule window of time (measured in the billionths of a billionths of  billionths of a billionths of a billionths of a billionths of 1percent of the entire universe’s life)  in which all life in the universe is possible makes it all the more precious, and our task to preserve it as best we can on Earth, all the more urgent.

We don’t yet know if there is more life out there (though of course the odds are pretty bloody good!) but regardless can you think of a greater tragedy for us to inflict on the universe than to snuff out this briefest of beautiful moments in the entire Universes existence?

Watch it before they cull it in 8 days!

This is a sweet article describing just how deep the Murdoch scandal may go. The Sun God may have finally succumbed to the reaper of hubris that taps on the shoulder of most all-powerful people eventually.

And about time too.
