The pollution that humans create is leading the thunderstorms clouds to capture heat, increasing global warming in a way that climate models have not taken into account. Jiwen Fan of the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory says that it causes their anvil shaped tops to spread out high in the atmosphere and capture hear, especially more at night. Previous work has show us that when it is not too windy, pollution leads into bigger clouds. This happens because the more pollution particles divide up the available water for droplets, it leads to a higher number of smaller droplets that are too small to rain. Then they ride higher, where they are frozen and absorb more water vapor.

A study currently has found that older adults who drink java are less likely to die than those who don't. Individuals that averaged four to five cups per day are farther of then the ones that don't. Though it's not clear. Researches have some reassuring news for the legions of drinkers you can't get through a day without a cup of coffee in some shape or form. They do not prove that coffee deserves the credit for helping people live longer. But it is the largest analysis to date to suggest that this might be a possibility.

AHHH!! Biggest Full Moon of the WHOLE YEAR!
The biggest full moon, of the entire year, is due to arrive this weekend. The moon will officially become full on Saturday May 5th, 2012. It will be at 11:35 pm EDT. This means that in the Midwest this moon will be visual at 10:35! The moon will wing in 221,802 miles from our planet, offering skywatchers a spectacular view of a bigger and much brighter moon! It has been nicknamed a supermoon!! The moon's perigee coincide with full moon this month, but this perigee will be the nearest to earth of any this year, the distance of the moon's close approach varies by about 3 percent. This happens because the moon's orbit is not perfectly circular.

South Korea Retailers Halt US Beef Sates for MAD COW
South Korea stepped up inspections of U.S. beef following the discovery of the mad cow disease in a U.S. dairy cow that led to two major retailers to pull the meet off the shelves. Many individuals from South Korea are worried for the halt in sales of the U.S. beef. South Korea is the world's fourth-largest importer of U.S. beef, buying about 100,000 tons of the meat worth around $600 million dollars in the year of 2011. Everywhere else in Asia continue to say that there is no reason to restrict these imports. The mad cow disease, also called bovine spongiform encephalopathy, is fatal to cowsand can cause a deadly human brain disease in people who eat tainted beef.

Optimism Is Good For the Heart!
Being upbeat and optimistic just may help protect against heart disease. Scientist have long known that people that are chronically angry, anxious or depressed have a higher risk of heart attacks. In Harvard University a review says that rather than focusing only on how to lessen heart risks, "it might also be useful to focus on how we might bolster the positive side of things" said Julia Boehm, the lead researcher in Harvard School of Public Health. Although if you are always a pessimist, some research has found that asking people to smile helps put them in a better mood, although long-term effects aren't clear.

Pizza Sales Rise with Hot-Dog Stuffed Crusts
The pizza sales here high well before the Pizza Hut revealed its hot-dog-stuffed-crust in Britain this week. Now, 41 percent of consumers had said that they eat pizza once a week. Two years ago, we only had 26% that ate pizza once a week. The reason this is because restaurants are offering more options beyond the carboard-y dough and old oily pepperoni discs, this is according to Technomic. There are many restaurants that provide a variety of different pizza's for all kinds of tastes, some including organic, and vegetarian tendencies. Even Domino's had picked some on these tendencies, launching its Artisan pizza line in September.
