It’s probably not the words you want to hear
from a leading figure on climate change.
But Jason Box, a professor at the Geological
Survey of Denmark and Greenland reckons,
“We’re f**ked”.
He made the remarks on his twitter account
after a team of scientists made an alarming
discovery.
It appears that huge quantities of methane
gas are leaking from the sea floor under the
arctic and rising into the atmosphere.
Methane is one of the most dangerous
greenhouse gasses as it traps far more heat
than other gases, such as carbon dioxide.
And this increased temperature is helping to
warm up parts of the Earth at an alarming
rate.
Box told website Motherboard, "Even if a small
fraction of the Arctic carbon were released to
the atmosphere, we're f**ked.”
“Methane is more than 20 times more potent
than CO2 in trapping infrared as part of the
natural greenhouse effect.”
"Methane getting to the surface—that's potent
stuff.”
"The conventional thought is that the bubbles
would be dissolved before they reached the
surface.
“But if the plumes are making it to the surface,
that's a brand new source of heat-trapping
gases that we need to worry about.”
What makes this news even more concerning is
that the Arctic is warming faster than
anywhere else on earth.
And, as the ocean gets hotter, more methane
gets pumped into the atmosphere.
It's all happening fast and Box thinks things
could change very rapidly, "I may escape a lot
of this, but my daughter might not. She's 3
years old."
This news comes as giant sinkholes discovered
in Siberia have been linked to changing
temperatures on the planet.
The holes are forming as long-frozen
permafrost thaws due to increased heat, the
earth around it then collapses.
And given the right conditions, some scientists
are concerned that something similar could
happen in other places around the globe.
Carolyn Ruppel, chief of the U.S. Geological
Survey's Gas Hydrates Project, told NBC
News, "Global warming is happening, and it's
exacerbated in the Arctic.
"And if these craters are related to permafrost
thaw, it's a very visible effect of what's
happening to the Earth."

End of the world? Top scientist reveals “We’re f*****!”
Tamale Chief demands cows, rams over porno
Persons captured in the recently leaked
pornographic videos risk being banished from
Tamale if they fail to meet the demands of the
spiritual chief of the Tamale Metropolis.
Dakpema Naa Alhassan Dawuni, who has
summoned parents of the over 30 ladies and
the young man at the centre of the infamous
Tamale porno saga, is demanding two bulls and
four rams from them.
The bulls, according to the palace spokesperson,
Mohammed Rashid, which must be black and
white in colour, would be used to atone for the
crime and pacify the gods.
The four rams, it was disclosed, would be given
to some powerful Imams in the city for Quran
recitations to seek the face of Allah to forgive
the young women and their families ‘for the sins
the girls have committed.’
He disclosed that the young man in question
would be given 100 hot strokes of the whip by
palace guards to serve as a deterrent to other
people in the area.
The conduct of the ladies and the sex maniac,
the spokesperson added, were believed to have
caused a draught within the metropolis – there
has not been any rainfall for some weeks now.
Some residents appealed to parents of the
affected ladies to call the bluff of the chief as
according to them, he has no moral justification
to mete out such punishment on them.
They indicated that the ladies and the purported
Canada-based man, called Kamil, committed no
crime as all of them are adults and moreover,
they (ladies) consented to the proposal to
indulge in the act.
Meanwhile, one person has so far been picked
in connection with the source of the leaked
videos and pictures which went viral since last
week.
Police are reluctant in disclosing the identity of
the suspect, but have indicated that he was
being investigated for his roles in the release of
what has now become the ‘Tamale sex tape.’
Obscene pictures involving an unnamed young
man and several known ladies for weeks now
have been circulating on various media
platforms.
The videos revealed known young women
purportedly made up of nurses, restaurant
operators, teachers and business women – some
said to be married – from the metropolis
engaging in hot sexual bouts at various sex
positions on a double bed mattress.
Some of the ladies were taking shower, and the
rest going nude and posing for snapshots which
subsequently found their way into the public
domain.
Parents of the gentleman officially lodged a
complaint with the Northern Regional Police
Command when the nude pictures went viral on
the social media.
It is unclear who might have taken the shots
while they were engaged in the sexual
escapades, but the Northern Regional Police
Public Relations Officer (PRO), ASP Ebenezer
Tetteh, earlier disclosed to DAILY GUIDE that
they were investigating the matter.
Initially, the pictures were reported to be about
40 shots but what have so far been released are
more than double the estimated number, giving
cause for concern to some parents.
The leakage has allegedly ruined the marriages
of some of the ladies while boyfriends of some
of them are reluctant to accept them back.
It is unclear however the motive behind the
recordings of these escapades.

Sarkodie turns Breastfeeding Ambassador
Entertainment of 2014-08-07
Ace Ghanaian rapper, Michael Owusu Addo,
popularly known in showbiz as Sarkodie, has been
unveiled as the 2014 Ambassador for the Ghana
National Breastfeeding Campaign.
The multi award-winning artiste is to use his fame
to promote the culture of breastfeeding among
nursing mothers across the country.
In his acceptance remarks as the ambassador, the
rapper explained the importance of breastfeeding
to the wellbeing of children and nursing mothers.
He was speaking at the launch of the 2014 World
Breastfeeding Week by the Ghana Health Service
(GHS) on Wednesday in Accra.
According to him, breastfeeding prevents babies
from frequently falling ill and thus saves parents
from spending their scarce financial resources on
medical bills.
“Breastfeeding is very essential, and it is to save
yourself the cost and the stress of going to the
hospital all the time just because your child has
fallen sick because he/she has not taken the right
nutrients which are derived from breast milk,” he
said. He urged young mothers to constantly
breastfeed their babies for at least a period
exceeding six months.
He added; “I will let my followers know about the
importance of breastfeeding exceeding six
months… I will do everything I can to promote the
idea. I will use my social media platforms to
educate the public on the need to breastfeed
babies.”
The ‘Give It to Me’ rapper disclosed that the rate
of breastfeeding among young Ghanaian mothers
was very low.

8 Reasons Why Ronaldo is Better than Messi
Think we’re crazy for proclaiming that Ronaldo
is better? Check out the argument for Messi
being the best!
Ronaldo or Messi. Like Maradona or Pele before
them, it is the argument for the ages when it
comes to modern football fans. Both players
score more goals in one season than most
enjoy in a whole career and comparing them on
this alone can sometimes be a fruitless task.
Getting beyond those initial goal numbers is
the key, and helps to show why Ronaldo, and
not Messi, is the fun packed player that any
team cannot do without. I mean, why would
you want the modern day sensible man’s Pele
when you can have the excitement and
unpredictability of 2014’s Maradona? Exactly.
8. Ronaldo Has More
International Goals
When it comes to Lionel Messi and his national
team, it rarely “works” – the polar opposite of
the kind of impact Ronaldo has had for
Portugal. This is most notably obvious when the
goals column is compared. Messi has hit the
back of the net 37 times in 83 caps and as
you’ll find out, most of these have not been in
games that count for much. Ronaldo, on the
other hand, is one off his half century (49
goals) in 110 caps, and four of his most recent
goals directly influenced his country’s path into
the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.

Castro Is Alive, Needless Crying Could Prevent Him From Coming Back To Earth - Marine Agent
Castro is alive and undergoing training in the
underworld , a ‘ Maame- Water ’ or Marine spirit/
agent has claimed .
The renowned Hiplife Musician is reported to
have drowned together with his girlfriend at an
estuary in Ada on Sunday .
But according to the marine agent who spoke to
Okay FM on Monday , if sympathizers and fans
of the music icon , should keep on wailing , it
would automatically shut the spiritual door
which would bring Castro back to live .
Marine spirits are generally referred to as spirits
which have operational base in the waters . They
are spirits thrown down from Heaven (Rev 12 vs
12 ) and (13 vs 1) and made the oceans , seas,
rivers, streams and lakes their abode . They
execute their plans by possessing either a man
or a woman .
Marine Agent Introduces Herself
The marine agent who only disclosed her
identity as Dzifa Avaga, insisted that the
circumstances which led to the demise of the
late musician, was a normal occurrence to
people who could relate to the underworld .
“ As I speak to you, I am a marine spirit; I exist
because I made two people give birth to me .
When I heard (Castro ’ s ) news on air, I wasn ’ t
surprised because the authorities in the sea had
already informed me that they were going to
have a visitor . And that was the same moment I
heard Castro ’ s story on radio .
This made me believe that Castro had gone for
a visit and was not dead as earlier reported, ”
she said .
When To Expect Castro
Pressed forward to disclose the exact date
Castro would return , Dzifa Avaga explained that
no exact date has been fixed for his return . She
however added that it might take months or
years for him to return .
Her only caution was that the needless crying
must cease now since that could affect his
Castro ’ s mood and force him not to return .
“ If you should keep on crying , then he (Castro )
could be annoyed and decide not to return to
earth again , ” she said .
She continued that everyone should expect to
see Castro spotting a new look upon his return .
According to her , he would be wearing dread
locks when he comes back to the land of the
living .
