Concept Vehicles, Your Living Room And Life

By: Forbes Contributor – Jennifer Hicks

Microsoft MSFT +0.57% started something when it rolled out the Xbox with Kinect in 2010. The optical sensors in Kinect allowed players to use gesture to control and play video games. Now, a long (or short depending on how you look at it) six years after that tech hit the gaming world, gesture is making its way into other markets, including your home, cars and other everyday life activities.

A German professor has confirmed what skeptics from Britain to the US have long suspected: that NASA’s Goddard Institute of Space Studies has largely invented “global warming” by tampering with the raw temperature data records.

Professor Dr. Friedrich Karl Ewert is a retired geologist and data computation expert. He has painstakingly examined and tabulated all NASA GISS’s temperature data series, taken from 1153 stations and going back to 1881. His conclusion: that if you look at the raw data, as opposed to NASA’s revisions, you’ll find that since 1940 the planet has been cooling, not warming.

THE PHYSICAL BODY HAS A BREAKING POINT

Everyone is talking about global warming, the rising of the times but who is really talking about the effects upon the human body?  With record high temperatures, when is it too hot for the human body?

The ice caps are melting.  Yachts may now sail everywhere.  Clouds are dumping at record markers.  So, when is it too hot for man to continue to live within his system and self-cool? Continue reading WHEN IS IT TOO HOT FOR THE HUMAN BODY →
