Cannes Film Festival Display Hypocrisy

Cannes Film Festival
Movie actors are always asking their followers and fans to save the environment for whatever reason. However, a fleet of energy-guzzling luxury yachts and private planes, kilos of gourmet food dumped, limousines driving stars just a few hundred metres in the Cannes film festival shows that they are also hypocrites.

"There is, without a doubt, a huge amount that needs to be done by the festival organizers to make it more environmentally friendly," said Cyril Dion, a filmmaker and climate activist.

Bring in 10 cans and get a hamburger or a cheeseburger; haul in 40 and get rewarded with a Big Mac. To promote the program around parks and festival sites in Stockholm, McDonald’s installed billboards that double as trash bags that passersby can pull out and fill up with the recyclable litter.

Intense El Niño Appears Emminent

El Niño Phenomenon
It’s not an end-of-the-world scenario, but it is better that everyone is aware that El Niño conditions appear to have been developing in the equatorial Pacific Ocean.

Data courtesy of NASA JPL Ocean Surface Topography Team which uses ocean-observing satellites and other ocean sensors indicate that El Niño conditions appear to be developing in the equatorial Pacific Ocean. They showed that conditions in May 2014 bear some similarities to those of May 1997, a year that brought one of the most potent El Niño events of the 20th century.

Migration Theory
An international research team has discovered new DNA evidence to overturn conventional theories that suggest that the present-day populations of Island Southeast Asia (covering the Philippines, Indonesia and Malaysian Borneo) came from Taiwan 4,000 years ago.

The researchers show that population dispersal came earlier, from within the region, and probably resulted from flooding.

Both father and daughter defended their hunting of the rare and endemic Philippine Ducks, which has drawn intense criticism from the birding community, by claiming in a statement sent to GMA News Online that the killings of the protected species occurred overseas.
