For decades, billionaire lobbyists in the US have been blocking progress on combating climate change. Not only have they been pushing their agenda through Congress so to keep their vast oil, gas and coal monopolies in a state of incessant, desperate motion, pumping, drilling and digging those glorious ancient remains, but they have also been vital in the whipping up of the religious fervor of climate change denialism in the US media.
By now, I'm sure, you all know what Donald Trump makes of climate change. We all know because, thanks to his Twitter, we have access to his thoughts in the form of a drip feed. Trump doesn't just deny climate change is real, but he is actively, and quite vigorously, pushing against environmental action in the United States.
The Gios name is one of the great pillars in Italian cycling history and culture, and the Gios Torino Super Record is a true monument of its time. This bike has one of the greatest records of all.

For weeks posters had been strewn across Berlin in preparation for the STOP TTIP CETA demonstration last Saturday. The posters though, offered little information on the event or the subject, forcing observers to investigate the definitions of these terms themselves.

Diabetes is an extremely common disease whereby sufferers lack naturally produced insulin, the hormone that signals to cells to take sugar out of the blood after eating. According to the American Diabetes Association, from their report released in June 2014, almost 9.3% of the American population has the disease, of those 11.8 million were over the age of 65.

This year has seen the debate around gene editing erupt with CRISPR/Cas9 emerging as the latest, and by far most profound, scientific development in the field so far. Some are claiming that CRISPR/Cas9 has ushered in a new, more formidable, era of editing the human genome.
Scientists at the University of Washington and Buck Institute for Research on Aging have finished a protracted, exhaustive ten year effort to identify 238 genes that, when removed, increase the replicative lifespan of S. cerevisiae yeast cells. The scientists studied 4698 yeast strains, counting yeast cells and monitoring the effects of removing and blocking single genes.
The last few years have seen a dramatic increase in the attention given to science intended to increase healthy human lifespan. Since 2013 particularly, the formation of the Google-backed Calico, and Craig Venter's Human Longevity Inc. - high-profile companies seeking to cure age-related disease, has precipitated a surge in mainstream coverage of the industry.
The war on cancer, a disease that in 2012 had over 14 million new cases and 8.2 million related deaths worldwide, has been raging for decades, with these figures expected to rise by about 70% in the next two decades.
Concerns about the advance of life extension science research and development frightens many people. Particularly, the level of private investment pouring into the industry. The most extreme of prophecies argue that there will be an absolute divide between the handful of super rich who can afford life extension treatments, and those who can't.
Statins, the class of medicines that are used to lower blood cholesterol, are once again in the news for their potential adverse side effects. On Sunday 27th September, the Express published an article, based on 'disturbing new research' from July 2015 by scientists at Tulane University in New Orleans, claiming that the drug will speed 'up aging process'.
Genetically modifying human embryos is possibly the most controversial area of scientific inquiry. With staunch opposition building alongside the advancement of gene editing technology, many are claiming that scientists are rubbing up too close to God.
