A "Complex" Theory of Consciousness - Scientific American

Tegmark .. Review ... Mathematics and Consciousness

Tegmark takes a mathematical approach without being too mathematical. He posits the notion that earth supports conscious life, which is a mathematics aware that it is information emergent from mathematics. Its as if consciousness is an equation with both sides mathematically defined in such a way that exchanges between sides cannot go unnoticed. Whenever information passes from one side of the equation to another, the result is instantaneous self awareness in order for the mathematical structures to reconcile and be in balance. Consciousness is the eternal imbalance of two sides of a set of equations containing 32 fixed parameters, but simply capable of nonlinear adjustment. The sets of equations, Tegmark describes by their various degrees of universality of information. Being permanently in disequilibrium, we have the driving force of consciousness at many levels and subject to many different systems ...

Eating meat is not a sustainable lifestyle - Baltimore Sun

Just in time for the 45th anniversary of Earth Day on Wednesday, April 22, the U.S. Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee has made it official: Consumption of animal products is not environmentally sustainable. Their conclusions match those of a massive 2010 United Nations report which concluded that a global shift toward a vegan diet is vital to save the world from hunger, fuel poverty and climate change.

Pacific Current Change Slowed Global Warming - Scientific American

The extra ocean heat is coming from the atmosphere, said Braddock Linsley, an oceanographer at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory at Columbia University and lead author of the study.

"Because the ocean is in contact with the atmosphere, there's heat exchange between the atmosphere and the surface ocean," he said. "It seems that about 90 percent of the heat that should be in the atmosphere right now with all that extra CO2 [humans have emitted since 1999] has gone into the ocean.

Scientists warn that world must begin preparing for explosive global catastrophe | Daily Mail Online

The world is woefully unprepared for a massive volcanic eruption that could kill millions of people and destroy much of modern society, a leading group of scientists have warned.

In a new report on the risks posed by natural disasters, experts at the European Science Foundation concluded that large volcanic eruptions posed the greatest risk human survival.

They calculated that there is between a five to 10 per cent probability of an explosive eruption large enough to cause huge numbers of deaths, alter the climate and poison the atmosphere occurring by the end of the century.

Diversity and immigration are not the problem. Political courage is… | Kenan Malik | Comment is free | The Guardian

The idea that Muslims as a group are poorly integrated is not borne out by the facts. Numerous polls have shown that Muslims tend to identify with Britain to a greater degree than the population at large. In a 2009 Gallup poll, 77% of Muslims said that they identified "very strongly" with Britain, compared with 50% of the population at large. Similarly, a 2011 Demos poll found 83% of Muslims were "proud to be British".

TransCanada Corp.’s Energy East scraps plans for a Quebec port: report | Montreal Gazette

The Parti Québécois opposition welcomed news that TransCanada Corp. will not build an oil port in Quebec as part of its cross-country Energy East pipeline project.

The company originally planned to pump Western Canadian oil, at a rate of up to 1.1 million barrels per day, through to terminals in Cacouna and Saint John's, N.B.. The choice of Cacouna, the site of a beluga nursery, was met with a public outcry in Quebec.

TransCanada reportedly considered other locations—Lévis, Bécancour and Baie-des-Sables, near Matane—before ruling out a Quebec port, according to a La Presse exclusive citing unnamed sources.

"It's a beautiful victory for the preservation and sustainability of the belugas we have in the St. Lawrence River," the PQ's natural resources critic, Bernard Drainville, said in a news conference on Wednesday
