Back in 1956, a group of scientists marked a Layson albatross that they called wisdom. Today,
scientists believe that wisdom is around 62 years old and she just hatched another chick. Wisdom
is believed to have had at least 35 previous chicks as well. The bird was orinally banned so that
scientists could study its habitat and movement, and they did not expect a wild bird to live this
long. So birds are known to live into their 80's, but that is in captivity. Scientists have said that wisdom still looks strong and healthy also.

Air Pollution and Heart Attacks

This article really sums up what people have done to the environment and how we are
now going to start feeling the full affects of air pollution. The amount of coal,oil, and gas
that is being burned everyday in the atmosphere is a crazy amount. A recent study by scientist show
that not only does air pollution cause upper respiratory problems and lung cancer, air pollution is now
being linked to a cause of heart attacks. Studies have show that people who live in a heavy polluted 
area are at a greater risk and are suffering more heart attacks and heart problems.

This article was very interesting. Scientist found tiny microbes deep inside Antartic ice. 
The ice is more then a half a mile thick. Scientists believe that these microbes survived
by living off rocks. Finding these microbes is important because this could lead to
finding out if Jupiters or Saturns moons have any life. The microbes that were found were 
found in a hidden lake deep beneath the ice. Scientists believe more of theses lakes
do exist throughout the Antartic. 

Warmer is not always wetter

This article really summarized what Earth is going through. The surface temperature
 on earth is at a record high and it is because of the human population. Humans have
 damaged the ozone layer and have released way to many different green house gases
 into the atmosphere. In wet warm climates, the average precipitation has increased because 
the earths temperature has risen. Scientists have found that as the surface temperature
 increases, so will the precipitation. There really is no other way to stop this from happening 
except for people to stop destroying the earths atmosphere.
