The condition, called CHIP (clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential),
indicates chances of dying from stroke or heart attack are 40 to 50 percent higher in people who have it.
My research
indicates that the Siberian peat moss, Arctic tundra, and methal hydrates (frozen methane at the bottom
of the ocean) all have an excellent
chance of melting and releasing their stored co2.Recent methane concentration figures also hit the news last week, and methane has increased after a long time being steady.The forests
of north america are drying out and are very susceptible to massive insect infestations and wildfires, and the massive
die offs - 25 %
of total forests, have begun.And, the most recent stories on the Amazon forecast that with the change in rainfall patterns one third
of the Amazon will dry and turn to grassland, thereby creating a domino cascade effect for the rest
of the Amazon.With co2 levels risng faster now that the oceans have reached carrying capacity, the oceans having become also more acidic, and the looming threat
of a North Atlanic current shutdown (note the recent terrible news on salinity upwelling levels off Greenland,) and the change in cold water upwellings, leading to far less biomass for the fish to feed upon, all lead to the conclusion we may not have to worry about NASA completing its inventory
of near earth objects greater than 140 meters across by 2026 (Recent Benjamin Dean astronomy lecture here in San Francisco).
In addition, the study seemed to
indicate that having diabetes not only increased your
chance of a cancer diagnosis, but also increased the likelihood you would eventually
die of the disease.
Using a lap / shoulder belt reduces the
chances of dying in a crash by 58 percent for people seated in the center rear seat
of cars and 75 percent for people buckled up in minivans, pickups and SUVs, a new National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) report
indicates.
Reports provided by the Life and Health Insurance Foundation for Education
indicate that a man at 35 years old has more than a one - in - six
chance of dying before retirement, and a man at 45 years old has more than a one - in - seven
chance of dying before age 65.
