By: The Male Cheerleader Fox News once again wants to use a natural disaster as a way to voice its opinion that man made climate change is just made up. While no singular weather event is proof of anthropogenic climate change, it is also rediclous for Fox News to post a head line stating, "Scientist dispute politicians' claims that global warming grew sandy".

By: The Male Cheerleader With much of Europe being fairly far up in the hemisphere they will experience significant changes due to climate change. The European Environment Agency realized this and has created a series of interactive maps, so read past the break to learn more about the maps.

[via Cartographic Curiosities] By: The Male Cheerleader Have you ever wanted to look up the health of that stream right before you jump in? How about look at how healthy a river is you just caught a fish out of, before you eat it? Now the EPA has created an App that can tell you.

By: The Male Cheerleader I hate to simply sum up an article about scientific research because this can lead to misleading, but I personally don't have time to read the research article. NBCNews.com has an article today labelled, "Climate-changing methane 'rapidly destabilizing' off East Coast, study finds". So read past the break to see what this really means.
By: The Male Cheerleader There is nothing better than a fun way, and interactive way to look at data on a map. Atlas by Collins is an iOS app that I wish was available on Kindle Fire because it looks pretty dang amazing. It is a bit on the pricier end at $9.99, but that may be a small price to pay just to learn a little bit more about the world.
By: The Male Cheerleader Did you know the 2012 presidential election is the first one since 1988 that neither candidate mentioned "climate change" in a debate. Tonight airs the an episode of Frontline by PBS called "Climate of Doubt", so if you are looking for looking to get your fix of science and well...views from the other side...watch it live or online.

[via PBS] By: The Male Cheerleader Just wanted to pass this fun little map I stumbled across today show the sales tax of 4.7% a.b.v. beer in 12 ounce containers.
