Huge Defunct Satellite Falling to Earth Faster Than Expected, NASA Says
FTA: NASA spokeswoman Beth Dickey confirmed with SPACE.com earlier today that the reason UARS is expected to fall early in its re-entry window is because of the sharp uptick in solar activity. Solar effects from the sun can create an extra drag on satellites in space because they can heat the Earth's atmosphere, causing it to expand, agency officials have said

Human Evolution slower TPT
An investigation into genetic changes in two generations of families has found humans are evolving slower than previously thought.
...
"The mutation rate is extremely variable from individual to individual or (...) some people have mechanisms that reduce the likelihood of mutations," concluded Awadalla.
This variability could prompt a rethink on predicting the risk of inherited disease, caused by flawed genes bequeathed by one or both parents.

Earth responds to CO2 faster TPT
"Earth Recovered from Prehistoric Global Warming Faster Than Previously Thought"
'Recovered' is a loaded term. Some people like warm weather. The Ice Ages were a difficult time.
FTA: When faced with high levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide and rising temperatures 56 million years ago, Earth increased its ability to pull carbon from the air. This led to a recovery that was quicker than anticipated by many models of the carbon cycle...
