A murder trial in Limerick has been told that a 41-year-old Limerick man died after receiving a dozen stab wounds inflicted with a hedge-trimmer.

Patrick Crawford died after he was stabbed during a confrontation near his home in Limerick on 2 June, 2002. Two other Limerick men have denied murdering him.

Move over Greece, Italy's Crisis Will Be Worse

Falling Birthrates

So what’s the Italian government doing to solve these problems? Is it slashing tax rates? Reducing the burden of government? Cutting back on red tape?

Of course not. The politicians are either making things worse or engaging in pointless distractions.

Speaking of which, I’m tempted to laugh at the Italian government’s campaign to boost birthrates. Here’s some of what’s been reported by the New York Times.

…a government effort to promote “Fertility Day” on Sept. 22, a campaign intended to encourage Italians to have more babies. …Italy has one of the lowest birthrates in the world… Italian families have been shrinking for decades. In 2015, 488,000 babies were born in Italy, the fewest since the country first unified in 1861. It has one of the lowest birthrates in Europe, with 1.37 children per woman, compared with a European average of 1.6, according to Eurostat figures."

By the way, I actually commend the government for recognizing that falling birthrates are a problem.

Not because women should feel obliged to have kids if that’s not what they want. But rather because Italy has a massive tax-and-transfer welfare state that is predicated on an ever-expending population of workers (i.e., taxpayers) to finance benefits to retirees.

But old people are living longer and low birthrates mean that there won’t be enough taxpayers to prop up the Ponzi Scheme of big government.

But while the government deserves kudos for acknowledging a problem, it deserves mockery for thinking empty slogans will make a difference.
 
Information is gold, it's awesome that the current administration is anti-science and knowledge.

Natural Environmental Swings Cause Up To Half Of Arctic Sea Ice Loss

Sea ice in the Arctic has been melting at a record-breaking pace. Scientists blame a warming climate for most of that, but researchers have now teased out a natural cycle for how Arctic sea ice melts year-to-year.

Based on that cycle, they conclude that 30 percent to 50 percent of the melting is due to natural causes, while human-caused warming is responsible for the rest.

Climate scientists have always acknowledged a natural cause for shifts in the rate of Arctic melting. But nailing down just how much nature contributes compared with greenhouse gases rising into the atmosphere has been difficult.

Neil Swart, a climate scientist at the Canadian Centre for Climate Modeling and Analysis who commented on the study, says the results "do not call into question whether human-induced warming has led to Arctic sea-ice decline — a wide range of evidence shows that it has."

What's the record?

An international team of researchers made a record-breaking discovery.
While digging in Portugal, they found a 400,000-year-old human cranium.http://www.msn.com/en-us/video/wond...uman-cranium-in-portugal/vi-AAomzvs?ocid=iehp
Researchers believe this to be the first person to impact climate change.
This person started the long heating - cooling cycle that we now know is human caused climate change.
After these international researchers announced their conclusion, they all boarded individual flights returning them to their countries of origin.
