BIG PROBLEM:
Global Warming vs Beer Production
Source: newscientist.com
IF the sinking Maldives aren't enough to galvanise action on climate change, could losing a classic beer do it?
Climatologist Martin Mozny and colleagues say that the quality of Saaz hops, the delicate variety used to make pilsner lager has been decreasing in recent years. They say the culprit is climate change in the form of increased air temperature.

Wrong policy to blame for threat to lions
Source: businessdailyafrica.com
Since the 1970s, Kenya has lost about half of its total wildlife populations. In recent weeks, reports have highlighted the rapid decline of the most iconic of all Kenya's wild animals: the lion.
In August, researchers from the Kenya Wildlife Service reported that Kenya is losing about 100 lions each year, and now only has 2,000 lions left in the country. At this rate, lions might be extinct in the next 10 to 20 years.
The cause of the rapid decline of the country's lion population is conflict with people. They are a threat to people's lives and livelihoods, and locals retaliate by killing lions.

The bat that came out of the dark
Source: news.bbc.co.uk
A tiny bat living in central Italy has emerged from the dark and started hunting by day. This switch in hunting strategy is highly unusual among insectivorous bats, which routinely hunt at twilight or by night to avoid predators.
Yet a small group of soprano pipistrelles has been spotted brazenly flying by day in a mountain canyon within an Italian beech forest. Only one other species of insectivorous bat frequently flies during daylight.
A research team lead by Dr Danilo Russo, a bat expert from the University of Bristol, UK and the University of Naples Federico II in Italy report the discovery in the journal Mammalian Biology.
