XEarth (for Windows)

For just the first time in my experience all ten current earthquakes are in the same place - Chile!

Xearth for Windows is a port of Kirk Johnson's original xearth [local mirror] program to Microsoft Windows. Xearth renders a shaded image of the earth on your desktop, as seen from your favorite vantage point in space. By default, the image is updated every five minutes according to the current position of the sun.

Xearth for Windows works with any 32-bit version of Windows, including 95, 98, ME, NT, 2000, and XP. On Windows XP, I have been told that you need to uncheck "lock desktop" in order to see the earth display.

Fear of death behind climate change denial - SmartPlanet

Fear of death behind climate change denial - SmartPlanet

A paper by Cornell scientist Janis L. Dickinson is drawing new attention as an explanation for the rise in climate science denial.

(It’s all explained by Zero Mostel in this classic episode of The Muppet Show.)

In The People Paradox, published last year at Ecology and Society, Dickinson follows up on Ernest Becker’s 1973 work The Denial of Death, suggesting that when people are confronted by death they often react by shoring up their worldview, rejecting anyone or anything which threatens it, and focusing on self-esteem.
