The Great Beyond: Study sheds light on the demography of climate change Posted on behalf of Yana Balling Population growth may have a large impact on future greenhouse gas emission patterns. A study published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences finds that 16-29% of emission reductions necessary to prevent the global mean temperature from rising more than 2 degrees Celsius could be achieved by reduced population growth. Changes in population size and in the distribution of ages have been widely neglected in past and present emission scenarios, finds Brian O’Neill of the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado, who led the study. Neill and his colleagues used an energy-economic growth model to study how different population growth scenarios influence emission pathways by 2050 and 2100. Aging reduces emissions as elderly people contribute less to economic growth. Aging is likely to dominate future demographic development in most industrialised countries, the study concludes.

Guide to flirting Why do we flirt? Flirting is much more than just a bit of fun: it is a universal and essential aspect of human interaction. Anthropological research shows that flirting is to be found, in some form, in all cultures and societies around the world. Flirting is a basic instinct, part of human nature. According to some evolutionary psychologists, flirting may even be the foundation of civilisation as we know it. If flirting is instinctive, why do we need this Guide? Like every other human activity, flirting is governed by a complex set of unwritten laws of etiquette. We only become aware of the rules when someone commits a breach of this etiquette – by flirting with the wrong person, perhaps, or at an inappropriate time or place. This is a very obvious example, but the more complex and subtle aspects of flirting etiquette can be confusing – and most of us have made a few embarrassing mistakes.

Innovative, Reusable "Replenish" Spray Bottle Could Disrupt Home Cleaning Market - Environment We love to tout sustainability in the consumer sector, but of the 60 billion pounds of plastic discarded annually, only 7 percent is recycled—meaning that billions of pounds end up in landfills. That said, recycling shouldn't be our only objective; the other Rs (reduce and reuse) should be our primary targets. That's where Replenish comes in. "When you buy a spray bottle of normal household cleaner," says founder Jason Foster, "you're basically paying for water and plastic. An added bonus is that, once stores start carrying it, they can store far more inventory of pods on their shelves—making it a win for consumers, retailers, and the environment.
The Light Bulb Effect - Bulb Candles by Helbert Ferreira & Remi Melander... The Light Bulb Effect Let me put on my monocle and tell you a story. You see long ago before Swan or Edison invented the lightbulb, people used candles. When lightbulbs became the norm, the candle went the way of the wind.

Man Turns Down Billions for His Ancestral Homeland Man Turns Down Billions for His Ancestral Homeland Though his tribal land is worth an estimated $5 billion, an Aboriginal man refuses to sell it, instead keeping it as a legacy for his family. By Kathryn Hawkins. A stunning vista of jagged brick-red cliffs lies in Australia’s desolate Northern Territory. Just one man, 36-year-old Jeffrey Lee, holds the title to this unfathomably valuable piece of real estate – and he says it’s not for sale. Lee, an Australian Aborigine, won’t condone the destruction of his ancestral land at any cost. “There are sacred sites, there are burial sites and there are other special places out there which are my responsibility to look after,” Lee told The Sydney Morning Herald. So, rather than rubbing elbows with Donald Trump andRichard Branson on the Forbes billionaire list, Lee has rejected all requests to purchase Koongarra. Lee’s incredible sacrifice isn’t just about salvaging the past: It’s about protecting the future, too. Want more inspiration? Liked this?
