Thawing permafrost

When considering the implications of thawing permafrost, our initial worries are likely to turn to the major issue of methane being released into the atmosphere and exacerbating global warming or issues for local communities as the ground and infrastructure become unstable. While this is bad enough, new research reveals that the potential effects of permafrost thaw could also pose serious health threats.

As part of the ESA–NASA Arctic Methane and Permafrost Challenge, new research has revealed that rapidly thawing permafrost in the Arctic has the potential to release antibiotic-resistant bacteria, undiscovered viruses and even radioactive waste from Cold War nuclear reactors and submarines.

      Solar Orbiter discovers tiny jets that could power the solar wind
      By European Space Agency
      The ESA/NASA Solar Orbiter spacecraft has discovered a multitude of tiny jets of material escaping from the Sun’s outer atmosphere. Each jet lasts between 20 and 100 seconds, and expels plasma at around 100 km/s. These jets could be the long-sought-after source of the solar wind.

      Steven Spielberg suggests that aliens could be humans from the future
      By USH
      During an interview with late show talk host Stephen Colbert, Steven Spielberg recently shared his thoughts on the latest happenings surrounding UFOs and put forward the possibility that the aliens behind the UFO phenomenon just might be us from the future. 

      Spielberg argued that it is mathematically impossible that we are the only intelligent species in the cosmos. That said he suggests that there is an element to UFOs which remains hidden from the public and there's something going on that's not being disclosed to us. Spielberg wonders, rather than the UFO occupants being aliens from a distant world, what if it’s us, 500,000 years in the future? 
      He recalls the hypotheses that the aliens or (eventually humans from the future) might know something we don't quite know yet that has occurred and that their purpose for visiting is to track the last hundred years of our history. 
      This is an interesting theory, indeed the rise of UFO sightings started around World War II about a 80 years ago and that something is going on that's not being disclosed to us is certainly true. 
      Spielberg also suggested that if something catastrophic happens on Earth at least a portion of humanity will survive into the future in order to come back and visit us. Well, all the stories about a secret space program and breakaway civilization becomes very plausible isn't it? 
      And did you know the Defense Department has worked with Hollywood for nearly 100 years and that they are using fictional movies as a mass mind control tool to make the population more accepting of planned future events which is called predictive programming. It makes you wonder how much Spielberg as an insider really knows and whether his statement is part of a predictive programming on this subject. 
      We are the aliens? Time will tell!
