I'm sure it could come to some other use

I disagree. http://hozturner.blogspot.com/2011/05/newspaper-article-about-plasma.html http://sites.google.com/site/cosmologyquest/peer-reviewed-papers

No. http://www.holoscience.com/news.php?article=gzhqr188

Just a grammatical suggestion... Shouldn't this be "fewer showers" rather than "less showers"? Showers are countable.

I always get headache when a storm is approaching.

Very localised downpours from the showers that are moving in. Brightening here from the SW at present.

Some loud booms of thunder here too, but it's really not overhead here...seems to be going around me, as per usual. The storms seem to have developed on the eastern periphery of the Pennines and moved NE. I'm not sure if there will be anymore for the day.

Aye, it's not pleasant.

Sudden and brief downpours tend not to clear the air at all. You really need quite a long period of heavy to moderate rain to gradually cool things down.

A few rumbles of thunder here with moderate rain.

"Fukushima is the biggest industrial catastrophe in the history of mankind," Arnold Gundersen, a former nuclear industry senior vice president, told Al Jazeera. Japan's 9.0 earthquake on March 11 caused a massive tsunami that crippled the cooling systems at the Tokyo Electric Power Company's (TEPCO) nuclear plant in Fukushima, Japan. It also led to hydrogen explosions and reactor meltdowns that forced evacuations of those living within a 20km radius of the plant. Gundersen, a licensed reactor operator with 39 years of nuclear power engineering experience, managing and coordinating projects at 70 nuclear power plants around the US, says the Fukushima nuclear plant likely has more exposed reactor cores than commonly believed. "Fukushima has three nuclear reactors exposed and four fuel cores exposed," he said, "You probably have the equivalent of 20 nuclear reactor cores because of the fuel cores, and they are all in desperate need of being cooled, and there is no means to cool them effectively." http://english.aljazeera.net/indepth/features/2011/06/201161664828302638.html

A 35% Spike in Infant Mortality in Northwest Cities Since Meltdown Is the Dramatic Increase in Baby Deaths in the US a Result of Fukushima Fallout? By JANETTE D. SHERMAN, MD and JOSEPH MANGANO U.S. babies are dying at an increased rate. While the United States spends billions on medical care, as of 2006, the US ranked 28th in the world in infant mortality, more than twice that of the lowest ranked countries.

"If we do nothing, even Tokyo could become off limits. There is a huge amount of uranium fuels in the plants, much more than in Chernobyl. This is a terrible situation. The government doesn't tell the truth and people live in a happy-go-lucky..." -Ichiro Ozawa The following is a partial transcript from The Wall Street Journal Interview with Japan senior political figure Ichiro Ozawa, who is calling on Prime Minister Naoto Kan to step down. Ozawa is a long-time rival within the ruling Democratic Party of Japan and is facing charges of improprieties over his fund-raising organization. http://online.wsj.co...3512336934.html

There may be a variety of different low-frequency hums; which may have a range of causes.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20110614/ts_afp/usspacesun The bit I've highlighted in bold is worth noting. I'm somewhat skeptical about the predictions and some of the claims about strongly-cooling climatic impacts, especially when there is a POSSIBILITY of a return to stronger maxima in Cycle 25 - which could start in 2021. A 70 year period of the "mini Ice-Age" may have been correllated, but correllation does not neccessarily equate to causation.

It looks like sensationalist hype, I agree.

http://tallbloke.wor...ight-after-all/ To be honest, I don't know what to think yet when it comes to such predictions.
