Rainbow sheen in the Gulf of Mexico oil rig fire.

Rainbow sheen in the Gulf of Mexico oil rig fire.



An oil rig fire in the Gulf of Mexico early Friday morning has caused "rainbow sheen" more than a mile long, according to the U.S. Coast Guard.

The Coast Guard said it received a report at 2:50 a.m. from an offshore supply vessel that reported a fire on board an oil production platform.

The ship evacuated the crew of 28 workers on board who were taken ashore. No one was hurt in the incident.

The oil well was "shut in and production has ceased," the Coast Guard said, which noted that the platform had an estimated 4,000 barrels of crude oil on board in storage tanks.

But David Margulies, a spokesman for Texas Petroleum Investment Co, which owns the rig, told The Times-Picayune there were actually only 100 barrels — about 5,040 gallons — on board the platform.

"The production platform where the fire occurred gathers oil and then pumps it through a pipeline so there is little oil stored on site and all wells feeding the platform have been shut down," he said.

The Coast Guard says it is investigating the incident and has response crews on scene and more on the way.
Season Whiplash: 3 weeks of the cost of severe drought in Texas Flood

Season Whiplash: 3 weeks of the cost of severe drought in Texas Flood



Speaking of time, say.

The highest levels of data - only three weeks, whilst the thorn is a great part of the year, especially if the drought goes on the skirt of the handles of the Texas and held. Texas partially closed. Sometimes, however, it is no longer the history of signs of grace, the rain of Texas, Kansas, Texas and other regions of the republic, we are faced with the risk of a flood.

One by the heavy rains in many places in the calendar of the month of May so as to take the waters of the rainfall record. According to the National Weather Service severe drought, it should be that of the month, in the first place as far as the 1897 Texas hit the wettest Wichita falls by any calendar in the months.

And next week, just 22 May forecast of rain.

Categories manual for the use of the US's National Weather Service in the dry season as a drought, Victor Murphy, Wichita has always been "special", "D4" or drought, drought is impossible Falls, which is absurd. Only three weeks, said Mashable.

Lacinia, showers of rain, to hold the necessary registration information of every inch of her monthly courses in four things. On Memorial Day in high quantities in the forecast rain, 2-4 inches wide bujheg to be feared that the SE. Murphy Email "fell." Mashable said.

In the city of Norman, Oklahoma - The National Weather Forecasting Center in a state building known as Tornado, US forecasters work - rain beating this month May 1957 13:43 16:19 inches to keep. to 1894

A few fingers, and in many other places, at least 20 inches of rain a month, leaving the porch, Texas.

1950. Before Record drought in the province in the past, Murphy, Texas, after the great flood happened more often. 1957 but a series of storms, droughts run end in the same way by the rain.

Climate studies and killed many men frequent and intense storms, rising temperatures in degrees Gasis found. This happened in the middle of the day the game. General stated in the east.

More frequent with climate change. (In a very rainy day, or anger), and between the sudden inundation of the drought, can create. Heat waves, floods have time to make a great storm of wind and it clings to, the wind and the storms of trends, and he would have hindered Therefore it flows, the command takes the same.

But it is not in its infancy and the scientific communities in climate elit more widely accepted.


Why this rain:


North Texas flow of the Gulf of Mexico, where they captured a stream of senior weather patterns satin humidity levels Description of airplane parts Target areas of the city turned to the south and giving way. Rockies pressure and direct the movement of warm, moist cloud and rain and cold weather systems move enough to create growth and concentration.

Recent weather patterns alanine Equatorial Tropical storm event activity in Australia and the wind picking up some of the connections.

This model is rainfall in the state of Texas ... to compose at least be visible to cleave to me: at least one Weather.co four, five, check the weather observation network data every day from the finger. "While the report CoCoRaHS received.

Until the flood of rain to show the form of the forecast can not be in several places at the Donec eu will remain at least 5-7 days.
The Obama administration's climate change as an issue of national security formatting

The Obama administration's climate change as an issue of national security formatting



On Wednesday, the national security of US President Barack Obama, climate change poses risks highlighted Connecticut US Coast offers a starting address appear in the Security Academy. The White House has identified the potential for costly and destabilizing effects of global warming, each of the many federal assessments, summarizes the findings of a new report released Tuesday.

How our army is to defend our country, "change the climate, global security, saying it would threaten national security immediate risk I'm here today, and make no mistake, it will affect you and what we need to take action -. And now we must take action, "In excerpts of the speech distributed by the White House before Obama's speech, he told graduates of the Coast Guard Academy. Coast Guard region warms and the sea ice in the Arctic melts in the presence of shipping and oil and gas extraction, construction of the challenge to face the present time zone.

"You are the first generation of officers to start the service in a world that is both within us the effects of climate change. Climate change each Service plan, train, long-term," Obama expects means It was equipping and infrastructure, will shape the protection and the way it operates today.

Climate change as a national security issue, designed to portray the risks associated with previous initiatives and public health, managing more voters would be concerned about global warming normally aims to cater to a wide swath. Polling as another environmental problem of global warming, the treatment is much more Republicans than Democrats support barns national security issues, shows that cut across party lines.

The White House report on climate change and national security, including the Pentagon and the Department of Homeland Security, the federal government in different regions, synthesize the findings of the report for more than four.

This low-lying coast guard and naval bases, including coastal areas also suggests that sea level rise associated with climate change and storm surge events is very clear.

"It is estimated that another 1-foot rise in sea level - only 1 foot - until the end of this century could cost 200 billion dollars of our nation," Obama is expected to say in the speech.

The review of the White House analytical and strategic documents informed the National Climate Assessment, the National Security Strategy of the White House in 2015, four years Defense 2014 Defense and National Security Investigation Department, Department of Safety Research Homeland in 2014 four years are available.

In the report, particularly the civil war in Syria promised, but climate change, water scarcity and food shortages, competition for natural resources, underdevelopment and accelerate tensions related to overpopulation, global instability act as an accelerator "that does not mean states

The National Academy of Sciences journal Proceedings of March published a study, together with the government's response inadequate record sudden food prices related to the drought probably exacerbated social stress was found and at least 200 000 sparks of war dead and the Middle East into a shooting war again in the US Next retreat.

Because reports that water and food supply shortages and damage to infrastructure enforced within or between countries as a multiplier-effect of global warming threatens migration "may increase the risk of conflict," concluding that strong. "The strategic interests of the United States in the world because it is a world power, through the effects of climate change on regional stability, US allies that are important from the strategic to the United States," the report says.

Also available in extreme weather and climate change will affect the design of future weapons systems account. Because of this, long-term exposure conditions of temperature and humidity or sand, weapons planners increased care needs in the field force ready to protect and more units have to plan. In the future, planners should consider based on the increasingly hostile climate trends today.

Nationally, the Department of Defense and the extreme weather and sea level in relation to the increase experienced many of the plant is to see the damage. Installation coast of Alaska in the report, as well as those responsible for dismantling nuclear weapons assembly and examples include the Department of Energy Department Pantex plant in Texas.
Osama bin Laden is also concerned about global warming

Osama bin Laden is also concerned about global warming



Wednesday, National Intelligence (DNI) Director, on Osama bin Laden, global climate change and the world as seen through the prism of its impact on the Muslims, takes the poor and vulnerable concerns, according to a document published by the religion.

The document, a DNR office in 2011, about 100 special forces raid in Pakistan, a letter addressed to the leader of Al Kuedo killed when seized documents said, "My Muslim country" is.

Under the influence of weather conditions, with a special focus on the widespread flood victims in Pakistan, bin Laden spoke about the responsibility of both the West and the poor come to the aid of Muslims. Pakistan certificate, signed worst flooding rivers and killing at least 2,000, but when it affects more than 20 million in 2010, he says.

"We are leaving behind a great relationship with the effects of the great pain and climate change our Ummah, natural disasters, we are faced with even more common the fact that in general the Muslim countries is sufficient to bring what is traditionally the relief effort," bin Laden wrote. "It is known that information or God, the Almighty, without a single solution to this disaster, caused by a plague, and the first solution faith and the right things. That's one of the things that help the Muslims."

Disasters such as floods and droughts associated with bin Laden with treatment requirements, as well as climate change, recognized by many countries to reduce the possibility of release. Talk about the floods in Pakistan.

Bin Laden called on to deal with climate change, "permanent humanitarian organization" disaster relief efforts to respond to the growing needs has proposed the establishment of "environmental changes such as more frequent and severe consequences, variety."

September 11, 2001 3,000 more people were killed as well as the world's worst terrorist direct responsibility for the execution of terrorist acts, to consume the water tank hinted about the dangers of valuable underground water is forced into a private Muslim world.

Agricultural wells connecting the main network is very important to establish a network of drinking water pipes, but "but to raise awareness about the Muslim faith needs to use is not lost and dangers for renewable groundwater agriculture-related," he wrote, he said.

Syrian civil war, for example, is added as part of a record drought and bungled government response. Satellite Syria and the Fertile Crescent in the Middle East, including the conflict-prone areas as well as groundwater discharge observations have shown that speed up Pakistan and India.

Order business and a leading Saudi Muslim players in the world of public interest Bin Laden Bin Laden family construction projects will find better things to prepare for the effects of global warming. She irrigation, Sudan, Chad, Somalia and Yemen is to improve water supply and diversion channels considering the construction.

DNI discovery documents Wednesday, the Pentagon attack that killed bin Laden was posted on several factors, which accused investigative journalist Seymour Hersh M, lied about being an attempt to push back against popular stories.
The secret military space plane to launch on Wednesday its fourth mission

The secret military space plane to launch on Wednesday its fourth mission



On Wednesday, the military space plane that is shrouded in mystery in a recent (mainly) is preparing to launch into space on a secret mission.

US Air Force X-37B space plane has lived in Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida, his fourth space of the Atlas V rocket on May 20 because of the flies. Rocket 2:45 PM Eastern Time, 10:45 pm ET start at any time of start-up.

What are the military space plane in his mission despite the very short lid on hold, there are a few things we know about the vehicle, such as small shuttle.

X-37B - Two former Boeing B -37 lifted, have - houses, reusable space vehicle technologies to be used with the BBC experiment was designed to help. The program can check them in the field, scientists involved in the experiments was charged after a long space flight, said Air Force.

"We are pleased with our fourth X-37B mission," said Air Force Rapid opportunities Office Randy Walden, director of the announcement in April. "With the success of the first three missions carried out, we shift our focus from the car to the experimental equipment to test the opening of cash."

In his third mission ended in October 2014, at the time, the space plane 29 meters and 674 days in orbit before returning to Earth. It goes either to the cosmic X-37B is not clear how long that will take part in the mission.

Retirement NASA spacecraft, which looks like a small version - - X-37B flying in many experiments. However, there are some exceptions.

Testing an innovative thruster


X-37B space mission will also experiment with Hall thrusters. According to the Air Force, to create thrust - usually xenon - noble gas is ionized this type of electric drive. Hall thrusters produce thrust, however, it is less than a typical rocket engine when it comes to fuel economy, use, adding the Air Force.

Therefore, this type of propeller space vehicles which, in theory, but in their place are more than able to perform maneuvers. However, at this point I do not know what exactly X-37B.

"More efficient capacity in orbit propeller reduces cost less fuel to get there. There is a huge plus spacecraft operational flexibility, the survival and longevity increases," Major. General Thomas Masiello, Commander of the Air Force Research Lab, said in a statement.

"Space is so important to everything we do," said Masiello in a statement. It depends on the perception of space-based missile warning, weather and navigation information.

NASA, according to NASA scientists, 200 days in space over 100 different types of materials exposed to the atmosphere to allow the X-37B is unclassified experiment will fly on this plane.

From 2001 to 2013, a gap of more than 4,000 samples of materials science in the investigation of a certain experiment in the International Space Station.

Orion Deep Space capsule to the fact that one of the tests of materials that can be used for Windows is an easy choice, Miria Finckenor, X-37B NASA experiment, a co-investigator, said in an interview with Mashable. Orion is designed to run on future Windows machines as long as they can be useful for finding ways to reduce weight while keeping in mind the security, which includes aircraft on historical complex and has a large factor.

The experiment polymers, composites, and the place to see what will fly a variety of materials, including coatings. Mission managers are the types of experiments that will help them create a more effective mission to learn more about specific materials.
Fueled by warming oceans, Earth is on course for another record warm year

Fueled by warming oceans, Earth is on course for another record warm year



Once again a world record in the 12-month period was warm....

Created in April 2015, May 2014, land and ocean temperatures mark in the world of dieting has become a Tuesday, the National Oceanic and according to new figures released just last month, a record-tying 12-month period The atmosphere was warm (NOAA).

Every industry conditions can vary slightly, although two other centers of global temperatures, NASA and the Japan Meteorological Agency, results generally, NOAA confirmed.

In addition, NOAA from the beginning, or the equivalent month of the previous year, making 2015 on pace, a record warm January-April period is detected. In the third month of April, NOAA, the world record for August was hot to get hot in the ranking was a small fall.

In recent months, the average temperature of 1.08 degrees Fahrenheit above a record high for the month (0.60 degrees Celsius), the temperature of the sea surface in April, was due mainly to the sea.

Sea from February to June as the warmest 12-month period ending in April 2015 with 12 months of 2014, 1.06 degrees Fahrenheit above average (0.59 degrees Celsius) is, NOAA found.

According to climate predictions, about a 90 percent chance of El Nino Southern hemisphere, in the summer of 2015, and by 2015 it will be 80 percent more likely to continue.

"Normally Rising global temperatures to El Nino conditions, all events that have serious implications power" NOAA analysis found.

NOAA reliable global temperature over the past 136 years of data, and during the last two years, almost all of the warm period is 12 months. Only one, from September 1997 to August 1998 took place outside of the current decade.

However, due to strong El Nino years, the introduction of carbon dioxide and methane, such as man-made emissions of greenhouse gases, global warming trend, increasing significantly the average global temperature could increase The incidence of moderate to severe

Even more impressive in the last four of each 12 month period, according to NOAA, recorded four warm the planet is estimated that as fact.

NOAA data from the last 12 months using seven - May, June, August, September and December 2014 and March 2015, or attach a new monthly record high temperature was established.

In addition, nine of the 10 warmest calendar year based on data from NOAA, usually in the last 15 years with 13 of the last 15 years, since 2000, have occurred at the global level. The chances of this happening by chance - but man-made pollution and a combination of natural climate variability - climate and weather research team reporting the East, less than 1 in 27 million

Global warming would be expected without the warm and wet year occur randomly over time.

Repo recorded almost 136 years only to return to the world, while in other studies the Earth's climate has seen much further. Other data in the main global warming gas level was not high enough to indicate that while the ice cores, trees, corals and other so-called "normal" data from tree rings shows the data Using that, for at least 4,000 years of human history, it was not hot.

Jokers plant a recording device around New York anti -NSA stunt



To find terrorists hear much talk there as part of the campaign, according to two people in New York, cafes, restaurants and bars are located around a number of recording devices.

The National Security Agency "as an official party contractors" like voluntary work to say. Mashable device is not set goals, and then after several hours of negotiations without terrorist chatter community was taken.

Men can be associated with a formal NSA - as far as we can tell. I do not think we are really after terrorists. They seem to record phone calls of millions of Americans expect criticism for the practice, known as NSA appliance.

"We are working independently, [NSA]," one man "free move our work and our mission, which is to meet permit the installation of the device has been received, if requested anonymity Mashable, said." We must go to these institutions and can to demand the right to preserve. NSA us as possible as NSA want to work closer. Works that are not. "

NSA, however, there was no information about their work that has been added. "Re. The fact that they take measures on the basis, we believe that they claim that we e-mail or phone [NSA] there was no exchange," said one man.

NSA does not respond to requests for comment Mashable.

In the interests of transparency, on Tuesday released a batch of conversations recorded, a website called We are always listening. They also publish a list of installed devices in New York.

"We heard people discuss your account, password, bank account" and "very tense moment when negotiations were distributed in identifying" records say. "Worldly terrible things."

Even the most everyday conversations, much information is shared, and therefore subject to, and open to the NSA, "said they Mashable tape."
