This finding cannot be explained by natural climate variability alone, the study found, and is instead consistent with global warming.”</p> <p>(via <a href="http://www.climatecentral.org/blogs/more-heat-records-compared-to-cold-records/">Explaining Explosion of Daily Record Highs Easy as Pie | Climate Central</a>)</p>http://sciience.tumblr.com/post/29005444777http://sciience.tumblr.com/post/29005444777Wed, 08 Aug 2012 16:45:05 -0500<iframe width="400" height="225" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/wWLf4u2xJVM?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p>excellent talk on the future, potential, and limitations of GPS. wave bubbles!

Long water-sprinkler arms rotate around a central pivot, irrigating circular fields of verdant crops in desert or semiarid environments. Often a well, located at the centre of the circle, pumps water up from vast aquifers in the rock formations below, or Rio Grande water is canalized and redirected into the deserts feeding the well. Once the Rio Grande reaches Mexico, it’s riverbed has dried. This trailer was made using 1000 circles cropped in Google Earth.”</p>http://sciience.tumblr.com/post/21583712525http://sciience.tumblr.com/post/21583712525Sun, 22 Apr 2012 12:45:53 -0500agriculturegoogleearthgeospatial<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0ytv17u7J1qbw8y4o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Gerco de Ruijter</p>http://sciience.tumblr.com/post/21583440142http://sciience.tumblr.com/post/21583440142Sun, 22 Apr 2012 12:42:00 -0500agriculturemosaicenvironmentgridirrigation<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m2w3vhIZjn1qkzh1bo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Learn How to Combat Climate Change Denial!</p>http://sciience.tumblr.com/post/21579215222http://sciience.tumblr.com/post/21579215222Sun, 22 Apr 2012 11:45:17 -0500climate change<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m2qnzpuwMs1qkzh1bo1_400.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>“In 1976, Landsat 1 discovered a tiny uninhabited island 20 kilometers off the eastern coast of Canada.
