Humans may be fueling global warming by breathing, a new study suggests. “Exhaled human breath can contain small, elevated concentrations of methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O), both of which contribute to global warming,” according to research released last week in the UK journal PLOS. The methane and nitrous oxide exhaled by humans makes up about 0.1 of the UK’s greenhouse gas emissions, the write-up said. The gasses are in addition to the carbon dioxide that humans exhale.

MSNBC “Morning Joe” host Joe Scarborough on Monday called for the people behind former President Donald Trump to be looked into for “fueling” his stolen election “conspiracy” theories. According to Scarborough, “Trumpist” Republican legislators are reinforcing Trump’s lies about “rigged elections” in Arizona, Georgia, and elsewhere by strengthening voting law. He said the people behind him are “the threat to American democracy.”

President Joe Biden blamed law enforcement for fueling “distrust” in minority communities in his proclamation declaring Peace Officers Memorial Day and “Police Week.” Peace Officers Memorial Day, May 15, honors all of the fallen law enforcement officers, as well as Police Week to remember all of the sacrifices from officials and their families across the country.

In 2011, Allie Kieffer ran a 4:40.9 mile and placed third in the USA Track & Field Indoor Championships 3,000-meter event. She was fast. But she wanted to be faster. “We often hear that to run faster, you should lose weight,” Kieffer says. At 17 percent body fat, the now 32-year-old was already lean, but “everyone seemed leaner than me.” So, as she made the jump to the elite scene, Kieffer began cutting calories and fat. She lost 10 pounds and qualified for the upcoming Olympic Trials. She also developed a stress reaction in her tibia. Not only did running...

LONDON – Joblessness and poverty are a more potent source of tension between Muslims and wider European and U.S. society than religious differences, one of the first major studies of Muslim integration since the Sept. 11 terror attacks claimed on Thursday. Attacks by Islamic extremists on the United States, and European capitals like Madrid and London, have sparked debate about whether a failure of Muslims to integrate into Western society has fueled extremism and created divisions between communities. But a study of around 10,000 people in 27 countries by the Gallup polling company claims non-Muslims — including the public and...

Report: North Korea builds underground fueling facility SEOUL, South Korea — North Korea has built an underground fueling facility near a key launch pad, a news report said Thursday, making it harder for spy satellites to detect signs that a missile is being prepared for firing.

8/11/2006 - BALAD AIR BASE, Iraq (AFPN) -- The punch behind the wing's airpower footprint is fed by fuel -- nearly 12 million gallons every four months. The 332d Expeditionary Logistics Readiness Squadron's petroleum, oil and lubricants flight provides that fuel to aircraft at the second busiest single-runway in the world. Aircraft siphon fuel from the flight's 13 fuel trucks, lightening the driver's 6,000-gallon load until the driver must turn around for more. "Our objective is make the whole process transparent," said Master Sgt. Jeffrey Shirley, 332d ELRS fuels manager. "When we do it right, the end user shouldn't have...

LAS VEGAS (Billboard) - With a No. 1 debut for its current album "American Idiot," and now Tuesday's news of six Grammy nominations, Green Day has found itself back in the spotlight. But if the punk-rock trio has its way, its Reprise album may yet fuel a crossover into an entirely new medium. "We're definitely working on a film based on the album," bassist Mike Dirnt told Billboard.com ahead of the group's performance on Wednesday's Billboard Music Awards. "I mean, the story is already there. But to some degree, it will depend on who ends up doing the writing...
