science would never be wrong or lie ... right? Sea-level rise   is one of the more dramatic effects of global warming. As land ice on Antarctica and Greenland Climate scientists have predicted that sea levels could rise 1 meter (3.3 feet) or more by 2100 if carbon emissions keep rising at their current rate. But they have never gotten this right before?  By looking at the sea level rise model it shows clearly no spike based on humans and in fact contradicts all the doom and gloom science has been trying to sell us.

Scientists have turned carbon dioxide back into coal in a world-first breakthrough which could lead to cleaner air. They say the ground-breaking technique can efficiently convert CO2 from a gas into solid particles of carbon. The research team, led by RMIT University in Australia, developed the new technique which they say offers an 'alternative pathway' for safely and permanently removing the greenhouse gas from our atmosphere. Current technology for carbon capture and storage focuses on compressing CO2 into a liquid form, transporting it to a suitable site and injecting it underground. But implementation has been hampered by engineering challenges, issues around economic viability and environmental concerns about possible leaks from the storage sites. RMIT researcher Dr Torben Daeneke said converting CO2 into a solid could be a more sustainable approach. He said: 'While we can't literally turn back time, turning carbon dioxide back into coal and

Artificial intelligence research has made rapid progress in a wide variety of domains from speech recognition and image classification to genomics and drug discovery. In many cases, these are specialist systems that leverage enormous amounts of human expertise and data. However, for some problems this human knowledge may be too expensive, too unreliable or simply unavailable. As a result, a long-standing ambition of AI research is to bypass this step, creating algorithms that achieve superhuman performance in the most challenging domains with no human input. In our most recent  paper , published in the  journal Nature , we demonstrate a significant step towards this goal. The paper introduces AlphaGo Zero, the latest evolution of  AlphaGo , the first computer program to defeat a world champion at the ancient Chinese game of Go. Zero is even more powerful and is arguably the strongest Go player in history. Previous versions of AlphaGo initially trained on thousands of human amat

Statue Facts If you have ever visited the Statue of Liberty in person, you already know  she's an imposing figure, but consider the following fun facts: Height & Weight Total overall height from the base of the pedestal foundation to the tip of the torch is 305 feet, 6 inches Height of the Statue from her heel to the top of her head is 111 feet, 6 inches The Statue has a 35-foot waistline Total weight of the Statue of Liberty is 225 tons (or 450,000 pounds)     Torch During the restoration completed in 1986,  the new torch was carefully covered  with thin sheets of 24k gold Crown & Face There are seven rays on her crown, one for each of the seven continents, each measuring up to 9 feet in length and weighing as much as 150 pounds The face on the Statue of Liberty measures more than 8 feet tall     Tablet & Dates A tablet held in her left hand measures  23' 7" tall and 13' 7" wide in

When animal habitats are protected, animals tend to thrive. That’s the simple yet groundbreaking conclusion of a new report analyzing the effect of the United States’ Endangered Species Act (ESA) on marine animals,  published in the academic journal PLOS One . A team of researchers looked at 31 marine populations and found that the populations of 78% of marine mammals and 75% of sea turtles rebounded after receiving protections under the law. The median sea turtle population increased by 980% following the regulations established by the ESA, and the median increase for mammals was 115%. The authors of the report think that this promising data could help to protect the ESA at a time when the Trump administration is  looking to roll back animal protections . "The Endangered Species Act not only saved whales, sea turtles, sea otters, and manatees from extinction, it dramatically increased their population numbers, putting them solidly on the road to full recover

A federal judge recently approved a $1 billion lawsuit against Johns Hopkins University, Bristol-Myers Squibb Co (BMY.N) and the Rockefeller Foundation. The lawsuit is seeking restitution for victims who were intentionally infected with syphilis during government experiments in Guatemala during the 1940s. Hundreds of Guatemalans were reportedly infected with syphilis during the studies, which were designed to test the ability of penicillin to treat sexually transmitted diseases. The lawsuit was pending and waiting in limbo for the past four years until it was finally approved by U.S. District Judge Theodore Chuang last month. In 2015, when the lawsuit was originally filed, there were 750 victims seeking restitution, now there are only 444 plaintiffs and some remaining relatives. The test subjects in the experiments were mainly children, orphans, patients from mental hospitals and inmates. The horrific studies remained a secret until 2010 when Dr. Susan Reverby of Welles

IN recent years, Jim Carrey has somewhat departed from the confines of regular movie star reality. In 2017 he attended a  Harper's Bazaar  party during New York Fashion Week, telling a reporter he was there because he "wanted to come to the most meaningless thing I could come to". "But Jim, you got really dressed up for the party," the interviewer said, bubbly and confused, after he mocked the premise of the party (to celebrate "icons"). "There is no me. There's clusters of tetrahedrons moving around. "I believe we're a field of energy dancing for itself. And I don't care," he continued. "There is no me." In the 90s, the flexible-faced Jim Carrey was one of the most in-demand actors in the world. By the end of the decade, he had successfully transitioned from wacky comedy actor into serious leading man. He starred in  The Truman Show  and  Man on the Moon  in 1998 and 1999 respectively. Carre
