Staff Writer posted: 28 November 2006 04:30 pm ET Analysis of ancient sediment taken from the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean support the view that the dinosaurs' extinction was caused by a single rogue meteor striking Earth, and not by multiple space rock impacts, a new study finds.
"The sample we found strongly support the single impact hypothesis," said lead researcher Ken MacLeod of the University of Missouri-Columbia. |

news@decaturdaily.com· 353-4612 LACON - At 5:28 p.m. Tuesday, Morgan County 911 lines began ringing. A brilliant lime-green light had appeared, callers said, possibly a downed aircraft.
Callers to The Daily described the same thing, some saying they saw an object falling from the sky and breaking into pieces before the light appeared. Comment: Sure, it was only space junk. Nothing to worry about here, folks. Move along now. Don't fret about the increase in reports oif bright fireballs. It's only space junk. Really. Have we ever lied to you before?

28 November 2006 SEATTLE - It's rare to get thunderstorms around the Puget Sound area. And it's even more rare to get snow.
But is it possible to get lightning and snow at the same time? Yes, it is, as evidenced by the thunder-snowstorm that moved through the South Puget Sound area Monday evening. (And really, the way this month has gone, would we expect anything else?) |

Wed Nov 29, 2006 6:01 AM ET LONDON (Reuters) - The earth has a fever that could boost temperatures by 8 degrees Celsius making large parts of the surface uninhabitable and threatening billions of peoples' lives, a controversial climate scientist said on Tuesday.
James Lovelock, who angered climate scientists with his Gaia theory of a living planet and then alienated environmentalists by backing nuclear power, said a traumatized earth might only be able to support less than a tenth of it's 6 billion people. "We are not all doomed. An awful lot of people will die, but I don't see the species dying out," he told a news conference. "A hot earth couldn't support much over 500 million." |
