London, Dec 2 : Two researchers have theorized that even if humans turn to clean energy to reduce carbon emissions, the planet might carry on warming anyway due to the heat released into the environment by their ever-increasing consumption of energy.

According to a report in New Scientist, the contentious possibility has been raised by Nick Cowern and Chihak Ahn of the School of Electrical, Electronic and Computer Engineering at Newcastle University, UK.

They argue that human energy consumption could begin to contribute significantly to global warming a century from now.

Cowern and Ahn considered an emissions scenario proposed by James Hansen of the Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York, and others.

London, Dec 2  A new study has suggested that by looking at the cosmic microwave background (CMB), which is the first radiation emitted in the universe after the big bang, will help scientists find the birthplace of comets.

Comets that take longer than 200 years to orbit the Sun come from all directions in the sky.

That has long led scientists to believe that they were nudged out of a bubble-like halo of icy objects that surrounds the solar system – the Oort Cloud.

The objects probably formed from the same disc of material that gave rise to the planets, but were scattered outwards by Jupiter and Saturn a few hundred million years after their birth.

Will, 28, said: “I could only think of Kelly’s safety. That’s why I went first, to make sure the rope was okay.”

But it wasn’t. Just 10 feet into the daring 60 feet descent, it gave way and he plummeted to the pavement below the Taj Mahal Palace.
