'Man-made climate change theory proponents frequently cite claims that ice caps and glaciers all around the world are melting at an alarming rate because of excess carbon dioxide (CO2). But new research published in the journal Nature reveals that, contrary to popular belief, ice caps in the Himalayan mountains and many nearby peaks have not actually melted at all in the past ten years.

Professor John Wahr from the University of Colorado and his team evaluated data collected by a pair of satellites known as "Grace" that measured changes in the earth's gravitational pull from 500 kilometers (311 miles) up in space. These satellites revealed that ice levels in these high peaks are basically the same as they were a decade ago, despite the fact that many people still think they are melting.'

'The war of words between the US, Israel, and Iran intensifies by the day.

All the parties involved are shamelessly playing to domestic audiences in this election year. Israel keeps issuing threats it will attack Iran’s nuclear power installations, though some of its senior security officials downplay an alleged threat from Iran.

'At least eight Afghan civilians, all children according to some reports, were killed Thursday when a NATO warplane bombed a village in Afghanistan's northeast Kapisa province.

The deaths drew a formal protest Friday from Afghanistan's US-backed president, Hamid Karzai. A statement from the presidential palace in Kabul said that Karzai had formed an investigatory commission headed by his adviser, Mohammad Zahir Sapi, and including several members of parliament and representatives of Afghan ministries, to conduct "an all-out probe of the NATO bombing."'

'A terrified Libyan man is beaten and tortured with electric shocks by youths who appear to be former revolutionary fighters.

The images, taken from a video handed to The Mail on Sunday in a Tripoli refugee camp, will be seen as fresh evidence that those who deposed Colonel Gaddafi with the help of the West are adopting methods as brutal as the dead tyrant’s.

The film shows three men tying up the blood-spattered man before whipping him repeatedly with cables, touching him on his skin with electric wires and taunting him as he pleads for mercy.'

'Germany’s Defense Minister has warned Tel Aviv against any military adventurism in Iran amid the escalating anti-Iran war rhetoric by the US and the Israeli regime.

Thomas de Maiziere insisted in a Saturday interview with Frankfurter Allgemeinen Sonntagszeitung that the success of such an effort against the Islamic Republic would be highly unlikely. The German defense minister also cautioned the Israeli regime against “obvious political damages” should it venture on an attack against Iran.'

'The Arab League has drafted a resolution on Syria that calls on the United Nations Security Council to send a joint UN-Arab League force into the country.

Arab League officials said on Sunday the draft also calls for a halt to “all forms of diplomatic cooperation” with Syria and “tighter economic sanctions” against Damascus. The foreign ministers of the Arab organization met in the Egyptian capital, Cairo, on Sunday to discuss the situation in Syria.'

'Four current employees and one former employee at the 83% taxpayer-funded RBS have been arrested as Britain’s HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) has launched an investigation into an alleged tax fraud.

The bankers were arrested at their homes across London and the Home Counties. HMRC has claimed that the accusations are not related to the overall activity of the state-funded lender but to the financial affairs of the individual bankers.'

'“A total of 278 deputies voted. In principle, 199 deputies votes yes. Seventy-four voted no. Five abstained. The bill of the ministry of finance has been approved by a wide majority,” said Greek Parliament Speaker Philippos Petsalnikos on the early hours of Monday.

On Sunday, more than 80,000 angry protesters had gathered outside the parliament’s building in the capital of Athens as officials debated whether to approve the bill to unlock a new EUR-130-billion bailout package from the troika of the European Union, the European Central Bank, and the International Monetary Fund.

Authorities dispatched more than 6,000 police officers in Athens to stop any escalation of the violence. However, clashes erupted when the police began using teargas and stun grenades against the protesters, who responded by throwing petrol bombs.'

'In a speech to shop workers’ union Usdaw, Rachel Reeves, the shadow chief secretary to the Treasury condemned a "little-noticed change to tax credit rules” for affecting low-income families whose parents work between 16 and 24 hours a week, and regarded it as a "deeply unfair change" to those unable to increase their working hours.

“In this climate, very few people in part-time work will find be able to increase their hours by up to 50 per cent,” she said. “This tax credit bombshell is now just a few weeks away. For thousands of families it means going out to work won’t pay and they’ll be better off on benefits. That makes no economic sense at all. The government urgently needs to think again.”

Working tax credit is a payment for low-income people earning less than £12,900 per year or a couple working at least 16 hours a week and earning less than £17,700 a year.'

'Clashes erupted between government forces and the protesters in the central city of Beni Mellal on Sunday. The demonstrators torched one of the government forces' vehicles, threw stones at the riot police and set garbage cans on fire.

Brief scuffles also broke out between protesters and government forces in the northern city of Casablanca, where demonstrates surrounded a police car and forced it to leave the site. Protests in the cities of Fes, Meknes and Tangiers were relatively peaceful.

The protesters condemned the newly-formed government of Prime Minister Abdelilah Benkirane, saying it is “comprised of mafia members.” '

'Al Cardenas, head of the American Conservative Union, has said that Republican turmoil might lead to a brokered convention in which Jeb Bush, former Florida governor, would emerge as a 'possible alternative' party nominee.

Mr Cardenas, who is running this year’s Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), a gathering in Washington of some 10,000 conservatives, told MailOnline that it was not certain that one of the four current Republican candidates would emerge victorious.'

'In our book published by Palgrave Macmillan, my co-author Martin Cohen (author of Mind Games and Philosophy for Dummies) and myself line up the reasons why we say The Doomsday Machine of nuclear power has grown ever more dangerous.

We explain why and how it spiraled out from early military origins to become an over-rated, dangerous and expensive source of electricity, mostly in the developed countries.

And, now, in its last format it has morphed into a threat to global security, starting with the world's financial and economic security, and the risks of nuclear proliferation, but also including the biggest, most vast Dirty Bombs imaginable, stationed close to dozens of the world's major cities.'

'Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum on Thursday accused President Barack Obama of actively seeking ways to allow Iran to gain a nuclear weapon and suggested that the administration had betrayed Israel by publicly disclosing what may be a plan to attack the Muslim nation.

Santorum drew connections between the administration's opposition to the Keystone pipeline project, which would bring oil from Canada to U.S. refineries, and American dependency on foreign oil and U.S.-Israel relations.'

'Personal computers infected with a Trojan that tries to redirect their browsers to malicious sites may be cut off from the Internet on March 8, an information technology site said.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) will unplug on March 8 the Domain Name System servers it set up to replace rogue DNS servers that sent victims to malicious sites.

A report on Infoworld said the removal of this temporary fix may affect "a substantial number" of users, as half of Fortune 500 companies and government agencies are infected with the malware.'

'Homeless kids have the right to an education. That's the basic rationale behind the McKinney-Vento Act of 1987, a law meant to ensure that homeless kids receive the same quality of schooling as everyone else.

But with more families losing their homes as a result of the lingering effects of the recession, many homeless advocates say the law doesn't go far enough to help them. Yet attempts by these advocates to change things have led to a bitter debate within the field of homelessness advocacy itself.'

'Under the healthcare reform of 2010, the FDA was given the authority to regulate generic versions of genetically engineered (GE) drugs.

Furthermore, some genetically engineered drugs may not even receive human or animal testing — it all depends on whether or not the FDA deems it necessary.

The FDA is proposing new guidelines — an ‘abbreviated pathway’ — for generic drug makers to make similar, but not necessarily identical, generic drugs called ‘biosimilars’. The FDA will accept the drug studies from the original GE drug for approval, and will only require animal or human testing if the FDA deems it appropriate.'

'The South American country's foreign minister claimed that Trident nuclear missiles were being carried on board a submarine deployed to the region by the Royal Navy.

It comes as tensions continue to rise over the islands, which are claimed by the Argentinians as their territory. The allegation was immediately rebuffed by a senior British diplomat, who also described claims by the Argentinians that military bases on the island could be used to launch attacks on South America as "absurd".'

'The military spends tens of thousands of man hours annually and no small amounts of money training its personnel to seek help for any feelings of hopelessness or depression they may experience. The Army, especially, focuses on this issue because the suicide rate among its members has hit new highs in the wake of a decade of war in two separate theaters involving multiple deployments for millions of soldiers. That concern has also spilled over into the Guard and Reserve as well, since the Army has had to tap both of those branches in order to meet its personnel obligations for Iraq and Afghanistan.

With that in mind, when one D.C.- area Army reservist reached out for help recently, he was instead surrounded by dozens of police officers who searched and allegedly vandalized his home - all without a warrant, according to his lawsuit.'

'A group of consumers has filed a class-action lawsuit against Japanese pharmaceutical company Astellas Pharma for presenting what they say is a "sham" petition to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to extend the market exclusivity period for its transplant drug Prograf. According to Courthouse News Service, the lawsuit alleges that Astellas filed its petition not out of a concern for public health, but rather to simply extend its monopoly on the overpriced drug, which reportedly rakes in nearly $1 billion a year for Astellas.

Astellas "filed a baseless citizen petition with the FDA with the sole intent of foreclosing market entry by generic competitors, that improperly extended its monopoly and kept Prograf prices at supra-competitive levels," says the complaint. And this petition served as a placeholder for Astellas to continue marketing the drug at inflated prices, as the FDA reportedly took almost two years to provide a proper response.'

'An editorial in a leading US daily has called for the Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO) terrorists to be rewarded with a Nobel Peace Prize for murdering Iranian scientists.

“Were the MeK (MKO) to play the critical role in derailing an Iranian bomb, it would be far more deserving of a Nobel Peace Prize than a certain president of the United States we could mention,” a New York Post editorial read on Friday.

The remarks come on the heels of a report, published by NBC News on Thursday, citing two “senior US officials” confirming that the Israeli secret service had “financed, trained, and armed,” the MKO terrorists for them to assassinate Iranian scientists.'

Al-Kholi was killed in front of his house in Rukn Eddin neighborhood in the capital on Saturday, SANA news agency reported. Three gunmen ambushed and shot him outside his home, according to SANA. The assassination comes one day after two powerful explosions left at least 28 people dead.'

'“One of the most under-reported political stories of the last year is the devoted advocacy of numerous prominent American political figures on behalf of an Iranian group long formally designated as a Terrorist organization under US law,” Glenn Greenwald wrote on salon.com on Friday.

Greenwald went on to highlight US hypocrisy in prosecuting numerous Muslims inside the US for providing “material support for terrorism” and for doing “far less than” these American politicians are publicly doing on behalf of a designated terrorist group.

The United States has prosecuted and passed heavy sentences on its citizens for crimes such as selling satellite packages including a Hezbollah TV channel, posting pro-jihadist material on the Internet, uploading a five-minute video to YouTube that was highly critical of US actions in the Muslim world, among many others.'

'A senior Middle East expert says the West, aided and abetted by Turkey, Qatar and Israel, is plotting to overthrow the Syrian regime in a bid to strip the Islamic Republic of its regional sway.

“The extremist Wahhabis, the neo-colonist Zionists and the Western imperialists have taken up arms against those who fly in the face of extremism and expansionism in the region each with its own agenda on Syria as a whipping boy with the ultimate goal of relegating Iran to the outer fringes of political power,” Ismail Salami wrote in an article titled “West's shenanigans against Syria, Iran” on Press TV .'

'The Commons Public Accounts Committee has launched a scathing attack on the MoD after a report by the committee revealed that the costs of the ministry’s “wasteful” projects have soared by nearly 500 million pounds in 2010-11.

The committee accused Britain’s defence chiefs of failing to “live within their means” as the costs involved in carrying out the MoD’s 15 largest projects would be £6.1billion more than the ministry’s budget.

“It is unacceptable that the department still cannot identify the extent of the current gap between resources and expenditure,” said the committee in its report.'

'US Acting Assistant Secretary for Western Hemisphere Affairs Roberta Jacobson’s remarks about the issue of Las Malvinas have been another setback to the British government as it refuses to engage in negotiations asking Secretary General of the United Nations Ban Ki-moon to rule out the possibility of negotiating over the islands.

Jacobson called for a diplomatic solution to the issue of sovereignty over the Malvinas islands saying Britain and Argentina are equal partners in the eyes of the US.

“Our position remains the same. This is a problem between two of our partners. We do not want to change our position...We prefer that both countries negotiate a diplomatic solution in that matter,” said Jacobson in Lima, Peru, as she is on a tour to Peru and Argentina.'

'The Fox Business Channel has cancelled one of the only shows on the entire Fox News network that was in any way informative or watchable - Freedom Watch with Judge Andrew Napolitano.

In a press release distributed late Thursday, the channel announced that its entire prime-time programming lineup had been changed, with re-runs of already existing programs replacing Freedom Watch. Napolitano’s show had been airing for a year, in which time he had consistently covered major issues that other news programs would only gloss over, if they devoted any coverage to them at all.'
