DAILY QUICK READ - APRIL 30, 2016

Where’s the body. Weasel shuts down the Large Hadron Collider or ????

According to internal documents placed online, the Large Hadron Collider at CERN near Geneva has suffered a power outage after the critter chewed on a 66-kilovolt electrical transformer. The unfortunate animal was fried and caused a CERN-wide power cut.

“I can confirm that we had some issues overnight with electrical trouble,” says CERN spokesperson Arnaud Marsollier. “We suspect it might be due to a small animal.”

Was the weasel fried or was it transported to the other side of the universe?

While key leaders met in Kenya to discus putting a halt to the illegal ivory trade, 300 elephants were discovered murdered by poison in Zimbabwe.

Pictures taken by the hunters, which have been obtained exclusively by The Telegraph, reveal horrific scenes. Parts of the national park, whose more accessible areas are visited by thousands of tourists each year, can be seen from the air to be littered with the deflated corpses of elephants, often with their young calves dead beside them, as well as those of other animals.

The hits keep coming. When the oceans can’t sustain life, what’s next?

By 2030 or 2040, according to the study, deoxygenation due to climate change will be detectable in large swaths of the Pacific Ocean, including the areas surrounding Hawaii and off the West Coast of the U.S. mainland.

Swimming in the same gene pool. So many brothers.

Half of men in Western Europe are the descendants of a single Bronze Age ruler, a new study claims, based on genetic research into the Y chromosome of 1,200 men.

12 African lodges where you can save the world in relative luxury.

…high-end lodges and camps that are modelled on a successful low-impact, high-revenue tourism formula, you’ll know that your tourism dollars are going back into conservation projects and community programs with tangible benefits.

Have a great day and take a minute to save the planet.
