Antarctica’s ‘Doomsday Glacier’ is melting FASTER than expected and could raise global sea levels by up to two feet, study warns
Thwaites glacier in Western Antarctica is warming and melting faster than previously thought. Data obtained from a cold-resistant underwater robot reveals Thwaites, dubbed the 'doomsday glacier', is buffeted by more warm water than was believed. Thwaites in Western Antarctica is the size of Britain and melting at an alarming rate. If it was to collapse, it would lead to an increase in sea levels of around two feet (65cm) and already accounts for four per cent of the world's sea level rise each year.

Phillip Adams – Horror CTE brain disease blamed for slew of shootings by stars as concussions ‘turned them into killers’
A BRAIN disease caused by blows to the head has been blamed for a string of massacres in which athletes 'snap' and go on murderous rampages. Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) is caused by repeated traumatic head injuries and has been found in former NFL stars and wrestlers who have committed murder. WWE wrestler Chris Benoit, who slaughtered his wife and son, and footballer Aaron Hernandez, who executed his friend, both suffered from the disease. In the case of Hernandez, he displayed increasingly paranoid and aggressive behaviour and was also accused of two other murders despite being a millionaire athlete. OJ Simpson, accused and acquitted of double homicide, says he believes he has brain trauma from his NFL career. Simpson allegedly murdered his ex-wife Nicole Brown and her friend Ron Goldman in a knife frenzy in 1994 - a crime which he was later found liable for in civil court. The footballer-turned-actor was jailed for kidnapping and robbery in 2007. … [Read more...] about Phillip Adams – Horror CTE brain disease blamed for slew of shootings by stars as concussions ‘turned them into killers’
