Living Prehistoric "Lab" Found in 14-million-year-old Antarctica Valley

A team working in an ice-free region of dry valleys in the western Olympus Range discovered a rare trove of plants and animals high in the mountains, with perfectly preserved fossils of mosses, diatoms and minute crustacea called ostracods -a rare snapshot of ancient life in what must have been the last traces of tundra on the interior of the southernmost continent before temperatures began to drop relentlessly.

* LiveScience (01 February 2009): Tropical Turtle Fossil Found in Arctic - The last place scientists expected to find the fossil of a freshwater, tropical turtle was in the Arctic... John Tarduno, professor of geophysics at the University of Rochester:"The warming may have been caused by volcanoes pumping tremendous amounts of carbon dioxide into the Earth's atmosphere."... Tarduno led an expedition into the Canadian Arctic in 2006 to study an ancient aspects of Earth's magnetic field...

* I.Velikovsky, Worlds in Collision (Planet X, Volcanoes activation, Poles reversal 3600 years ago): ”Volcanic explosions... The causes of the ulterior appearance and disappearence of the glacier layer... Two celestial bodies have been attracted one to each other. The inner masses of the Earth were pushed to the periphery. The Earth with its rotation movement disturbed, started towarm... The Earth exploded and the lava started to spread around... the magnetic poles have been several times reversed, the last time during the Jews’ Exodus." Details:

The Daily Galaxy: Discovery of Ancient Mountain Range in Antarctica May Alter Climate Change Predictions

An international team of experts have mapped a huge, incredibly old location, mentioned in the notes of a Russian explorer from half a century ago, buried under hundreds of meters of ice. In an amazing break with tradition this process did not result in the unleashing of ancient horrors, a self-destruct sequence, alien invasion or anyone shooting at Indiana Jones. They've examined the entire Gamburtsev mountain range, 700 meters tall and buried under a kilometer of Antarctica. Full story:

NewScientist: Tunguska-sized space rock buzzes Earth

An asteroid about the size of the one that levelled the forest in Tunguska, Siberia, a century ago flew past Earth on Monday - well within the Moon's orbit. The risk of a future impact with the object is not yet known.
The asteroid, dubbed 2008 DD45, whizzed just 72,000 kilometres above the Earth's surface. That is less than a fifth of the distance to the Moon and just twice the distance to geosynchronous satellites. Full story:

NewScientist: How to survive the coming century

ALLIGATORS basking off the English coast; a vast Brazilian desert; the mythical lost cities of Saigon, New Orleans, Venice and Mumbai; and 90 per cent of humanity vanished. Welcome to the world warmed by 4 °C.
Clearly this is a vision of the future that no one wants, but it might happen. Full story:

Cotidianul: Apocalipsa climatică: încă 4 grade Celsius şi 90% din populaţia planetei dispare

Un grup de oameni de ştiinţă face un scenariu al viitorului, în cazul în care eforturile omenirii de a reduce gazele cu efect de seră vor da greş, iar încălzirea globală va continua să afecteze clima planetară.Viziunile acestora sunt, în mare parte, apocaliptice. O Terra deşertificată, 90% din populaţia planetei dispărută, la fel ca majoritatea speciilor de animale şi plante. “E o viziune a viitorului pe care nu o doreşte nimeni, dar care s-ar putea întâmpla.” Detalii:

Aliens Are Already Here

Alien worlds may exist billions of light years away or at the bottom of your coffee cup. The latest chemical and biological research suggests that extraterrestrial life may exist all around us or even inside human bodies.
Biologists found out long ago that many microorganisms, including bacteria, can survive in the hostile space environment:

*Fred Hoyle (1983), a world renowned astronomer said, that life appeared on our planet following an interplanetary travel.
* Francis Crick, Nobel prize laureate for discovering the DNA, in his book Life Itself, its Origin and Nature, wrote that "life on Earth was brought here by micro - organisms from another planet, these micro - organisms traveling inside a spaceship sent to Earth by a superior civilization, developed somewhere else, billions of years ago".

* Zecharia Sitchin, The Twelfth Planet: " If life have begun in that 'primordial soup' as most biologists think, different genetic codes organisms would also have appeared … There was a celestial collision … During this collision, the soil and atmosphere which were favorable to life on that planet were transferred to our planet, too. … The living organisms on Earth have a high degree of rare chemical elements but extremely few of those existing in large amounts here, on our planet, proof that life have appeared elsewhere, on another planet":

Life beyond Earth? NASA Astrobiologist Examines Hints from Europa and Titan

Lynn Rothschild is an evolutionary biologist-astrobiologist at NASA's Ames Research Center and a consulting professor at Stanford and Brown Universities where she teaches Astrobiology and Space Exploration. Dr. Rothchild's research has focused on how life, particularly microbes, has evolved in the context of the physical environment on Earth and potentially elsewhere in the solar system and universe:
