Early rocks to reveal their ages

A new technique has been helping scientists piece together how the Earth’s continents were arranged 2.5 billion years ago.

The novel method allows scientists to recover rare minerals from rocks.

By analysing the composition of these minerals, researchers can precisely date ancient volcanic rocks for the first time.

Scientists have also suggested there was never a car made of rough hewn timber that used stone wheels and was driven to a stone quarry by a guy named Fred.

Mitsubishi’s iMiEV All-Electric Car Goes On Sale Next Month. Thus far this is a Japan and European Union only car.

The Japanese government is currently to offer a $14,160 subsidy and that is on a retail price of about $44,700.

Fox’s Napolitano mischaracterized NASA report to deny humans cause global warming

On the June 5 edition of Fox News’ Glenn Beck, guest host and Fox News senior judicial analyst Andrew Napolitano mischaracterized a year-old NASA report on solar variability to deny that humans are causing global warming. Claiming that NASA “made a remarkable discovery,” Napolitano referred to a June 4 DailyTech article headlined, “NASA Study Acknowledges Solar Cycle, Not Man, Responsible for Past Warming,” and said: “So, basically — are you ready for this? — the sun heats the Earth.” However, as the DailyTech article itself acknowledged, in its May 7, 2008, report, NASA does not dispute that human activities are responsible for global warming. In fact, it said the opposite, noting that while “[t]he sun has powered almost everything on Earth since life began, including its climate,” greenhouse gases now have a “significant influence on Earth’s climate.”
