POPS The Evolution of Evolution: how culture changes genes

by abailart 12-17-2007

Not, as stated, a new idea: been around a long time in complexity theory, and quantum consciousness theory, for instance. This is a short, pithy statement of the claim, read it in a couple of minutes.

by kmcolo 1-14-2008

The new finding comes days after the head of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change said the group's next report should look at the "frightening" possibility that ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica could melt rapidly at the same time.

POPS Historic Evidence for Future Ice-Sheet Instability and Rapid Sea-Level Rise

by kmcolo 3-24-2006

"The record of past ice-sheet melting indicates that the rate of future melting and related sea-level rise could be faster than widely thought."

POPS Gender differences in agression

by kmcolo 4-24-2006

Women are more likely than men to experience their own acts of aggression as a loss of self-control than as trying to gain control over others. The authors propose that this has to do with women having a higher tolerance level for anger before inhibitory control is lost.

POPS Climate sensitivity constrained by temperature reconstructions over the past seven centuries

by kmcolo 4-25-2006

"Then the 5–95 per cent range shrinks to 1.5–6.2 K, thus substantially reducing the probability of very high climate sensitivity."
