Meteorites in Antarctica

In Antarctica, a team of Japanese scientists have discovered and recovered more than 3,500 meteorites in and around the Yamato mountain range at the bottom of the world.

They beleive that some of the meteorites may reveal clues relating to origin of our solar system, and maybe traces of some kind of some things living out there.

Warning of Global Warming

Scientists from 99 countries warned that the global temperatures would rise by 10.5 percent by the end of the 21st century. The U.N. project blames human activity-- greenhouse gas emissions.

They expect summertime diseases such as malaria and dengue fever to increase and the see level to rise by close to one meter in which case, tens of thousands of people will be displaced in the lowlands of Bangladesh, Egypt and elsewhere.
