Infographic: 10 Indicators of a Warming World The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) produced this great, simple infographic showing ten indicators of our warming and changing climate. Seven are increasing and three are decreasing. Increasing  - sea level - air temperature near surface (troposphere) - temperature over oceans  - sea surface temperature - ocean heat content - temperature over land - humidity Decreasing - sea ice - glaciers - snow cover * You can read more on the warming indicators in the NOAA’s State of the Climate report. via plantedcity:

The Mobile Device Is Becoming Humankind’s Primary Tool | Technology Review

People everywhere are consuming more and more wireless bandwidth to manage a wider variety of tasks. Evidence shows that the mobile phone is becoming indispensable to us: more people are paying for apps, and they’re more willing to trade privacy for benefits.
