Sea level rise highest in 6,000 years
Melting glacial ice and ice sheets have driven seas to levels unmatched in the past 6,000 years, says a study out this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Researchers studied examples of past sediments in Australia and Asia that dated back 35,000 years and found that overall, the planet’s sea level was fairly stable for most of the past 6,000 years. Things began to go haywire about 150 years ago, the same time humanity began to pump greenhouse gases into the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels. “There’s something going on today that wasn’t going on before,” said Kurt Lambeck of the Australian National University, who was lead author of the study, in an interview with the Australia Broadcasting Corp. He said the sea level rise is affected by increasing temperatures.

Awesome book about how high frequency traders (HFT’S) are “front running” transactions and how ethics and fair play influenced a goup of wall street technologists to risk their fortunes and create a stock market (IEX) to stymie HFT’S and create a more level playing field. I couldn’t put this book down and am looking forward to see how our lawmakers react to its revelations.
