Nothing spectacular in today’s news. I recommend not reading it, and instead going out to enjoy the world outside your house or office…

- Christmas: From pagan festival, to Christian celebration, to festival of Capitalism.
- Livestock emissions the greatest contributor to global warming? And you know what I mean by ’emissions’…
- Frozen frog comes back to life.
- This year’s Geminids could be the best meteor shower of the year.
- World’s oldest person dies aged 116. Perhaps they should phrase their links better: “Watch Video: World’s Oldest Person Dies at 116”. Ew.

- Are stem cells being harvested from live babies in the Ukraine?
- UK experts say there is a “strong scientific and moral case” for primate research.

Thanks Pam.
