I read in a magazine that other planets in the solar system are also warming up, has anyone else heard of this. If so what would cause this to happen as there are no humans anywhere else to cause pollution.

from the news

SINGAPORE : It is the world's first and largest floating stage, and is set to be THE platform for mega performances on the waters at Marina Bay in the next five years.

Made entirely of steel, the stage was recently used to celebrate the Singapore Combat Engineers' 40th Anniversary Parade.

It is also set to welcome a new generation of National Day Parades for the next five years.

Slightly larger than a soccer field, the new stage is made of 1.2 metres of light-weight steel which floats on water.

"The requirement is to create vast spaces on the water. And to also create a space for mass spectator events as well as a temporary set for the National Stadium to take huge performance stage sets. We have to design a platform that's rigid enough to take these high loads," says Dr Koh Hock Seng, Senior Program Manager, Naval Systems, Defence Science & Technology Agency.

The result - a stage that can take the weight of about 9,000 people and three large military tanks.

What's more, it is designed to be broken up and reconnected into various shapes and sizes, when needed.

And walking on it is as good as walking on solid ground. Stage performers don't have to worry about getting sea-sick.

Even though the stage floats on water like a ship, it doesn't swing along with the waves - mainly because it is held in place by six columns, each driven 16 to 20 metres deep into the sea bed.

But the stage is free to move up and down following the rising and falling sea levels.

Construction took a year to complete - it started in March 2006 and was completed by end-April 2007.

But due to land and height constraints, the seven-storey high gallery can only sit some 27,000 people - about half the number of previous National Day Parades at the National Stadium.

"At the end of the day for this very first NDP 07 over here... besides having a seat at the sitting gallery, we have the vast area of this Marina area which people could... find a suitable place, and at the same time, hopefully they can enjoy the NDP 07," says Tan Tze Leng, Programme Manager, Infrastructure, Defence Science & Technology Agency.

The floating platform will be managed by the Singapore Sports Council

Before the Himalayas formed Africa was a Lush continent much like present day India. Once the Himalayas formed it dried out Africa.

I know its impossible to get through the core but what if it was possible. Would it ever end or does it go on forever? Would you fall into space or end up in another country?

In particular, how does the earth "use" volcanoes, earthquakes, and avalanches to restore itself? This was in my daughter's THIRD GRADE curriculum, but never discussed. The only one discussed was forest fire. The answer was grass and flowers grow again, and trees produce more seeds.

I heard once, that people would catch monkeys by placing a nut in a bottle that had a long slim neck. The monkey I was told would place his hand in the bottle and grab the nut. but because he was now making a fist from the nut in his hand. So he was unable to slide back out of the bottle and he was to stuiped to let go. Is this true?
