<p>เฟซบุคมีผู้ใช้ใหม่เพิ่มขึ้นถึง 5 ล้านคนต่ออาทิตย์ หรือ 50 ล้านคนในช่วงเวลา 75 วันที่ผ่านมา<br />ผู้ใช้เว็บเฟซบุคถึง 70% มาจากนอกอเมริกา</p>

<p>The world&#8217;s largest social networking site just got bigger with the announcement it has 300 million active monthly users from around the globe.</p>
<p>Facebook also revealed that it had started making money ahead of schedule.<br />The company had not expected to start turning a profit until sometime in 2010.<br />&#8220;This is important to us because it sets Facebook up to be a strong independent service for the long term,&#8221; said Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg.<br />&#8220;We are succeeding at building Facebook in a sustainable way. We are just getting started on our goal of connecting everyone.<br />&#8220;We face a lot of fun and important challenges that require rethinking the current systems for enabling information flow across the web,&#8221; Mr Zuckerberg said in a blog post.</p>
<p>&#8216;Milestones&#8217;<br />The news that Facebook had passed these two benchmarks was made at TechCrunch 50 in San Francisco, a conference for start ups.<br />Facebook hit the 250 million user mark back in July. It is estimated that the site is gaining about five million new users a week, or 50 million in the last 75 days.</p>
<p>More than 70% of users are outside the United States<br />&#8220;Passing these milestones to me means we can continue to fund our development and our innovation and be self sustaining as we grow this network,&#8221; Mike Schroepfer, Facebook&#8217;s vice-president of engineering, told BBC News.</p>
<p>&#8220;We think 300 million is a just a step on the way to get as much of the entire world on the social network communicating with the friends and family and the people they want to communicate with.&#8221;<br />&#8220;That Facebook is able to continue this growth and build a &#8220;cash-flow positive&#8221; business is an impressive feat,&#8221; said Nick O&#8217;Neill of AllFacebook.com.</p>
<p>&#8220;If the company can cover the cost of scaling to one billion users and still manage to break even, there&#8217;s no doubt that the company will have a great opportunity to rake in billions,&#8221; added Mr O&#8217;Neill.<br />Facebook&#8217;s Mr Schroepfer said the company had worked hard to get more money flowing in than out.</p>
<p>&#8220;The growth of the network has certainly helped us go cash-positive and the engineering team has done a lot of innovation on our ad products, as our business is primarily advertising-funded.</p>
<p>&#8220;As more and more of the world gets on the network, people and advertisers realise the power of sharing information, whether it&#8217;s about a movie preview or a car,&#8221; said Mr Schroepfer.</p>
<p>Look out Twitter, said Ben Parr, who is associate editor at the social media blog Mashable.com.<br />&#8220;If Facebook continues to open up its platform and adopt Twitter&#8217;s best features, it could spell trouble for the Twitterverse. The world&#8217;s largest social network is on the warpath,&#8221; warned Mr Parr</p>

<p><b>โลกร้อน ทะเลทรายขยาย</b></p>
<p>พื้นที่ทะเลทรายบนโลกจะขยายตัวคลุมพื้นที่เพิ่มขึ้น ถึง 34 เปอร์เซ็น จากการที่โลกร้อนขึ้น อย่างไรก็ตาม เป็นการยากที่จะทำนายอนาคตของสภาพภูมิอากาศอย่างแม่นยำ ไม่คลาดเคลื่อน </p>
<p>อย่างคำทำนายของ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) บอกว่า ภายในปี 2100 ทะเลทรายจะขยายตัวเพียง 10% โมเดลของ IPCC ได้ตัวเลขต่ำเนื่องจากไม่ได้ใช้ตัวแปรหลักตัวหนึ่งเข้ามาคำนวน นั่นคือ การที่เมื่อต้นไม้ตายลงไปจำนวนมาก ส่งผลให้กลายเป็นพื้นที่ว่างเปล่า ที่จะสะท้อนแสงอาทิตย์กลับสู่อวกาศได้มากกว่าเดิม และจะยังผลต่อเนื่องให้พื้นดินมีอุณหภูมิต่ำลง ส่งผลเสียให้มรสุมที่จะพัดพาลมและฝนเข้ามาจากมหาสมุทร หมดไป</p>
<p>จากการศึกษาของ Ning Zeng และ Jinho Yoon แห่ง University of Maryland การที่พื้นโลกโล่งเตียน และสว่างขึ้น อาจจะทำให้การขยายตัวของทะเลทรายสูงขึ้นถึง 3 เท่าก่อนหมดศตวรรษที่ 21 การเปลี่ยนแปลงดังกล่าว จะมีผลกระทบกับคนจำนวนมากที่ต้องพึ่งพาทรัพยากรน้ำ ที่หายากอยู่แล้วในวันนี้ เพื่อการบริโภค เกษตรกรรม และกสิกรรม</p>
<p>อย่างไรก็ตาม การคาดหมายล่วงหน้านี้ ยังอาจเปลี่ยนแปลงได้ <br />CO2 หรือ คาร์บอนไดออกไซด์ เป็นสิ่งจำเป็นสำหรับพืช มีความเป็นไปได้ว่า CO2 ที่มนุษย์ปล่อยออกสู่ชั้นบรรยากาศ จะเป็นผลดีต่อพืช เมื่อ คาร์บอนไดออกไซด์เข้มข้นขึ้น ต้นไม้ใบหญ้าก็อาจจะทนต่อสภาพความแห้งแล้งได้มากขึ้น</p>
<p>ปัจจุบัน CO2 fertilization effect ก็ยังเป็นคำถาม ที่ยังไม่ได้รับคำตอบอยู่ทุกวันนี้ ว่ามันจะช่วยให้พื้นที่เสี่ยง รอดพ้นจากการกลายเป็นทะเลทรายได้หรือไม่ หรือว่าความแห้งแล้งจะรุนแรงเกินกว่าที่พืชจะทานทนได้</p>
<p>ไม่ว่าผลจะเป็นอย่างไร ยังมีอีกตัวแปรที่ เซ่ง และ หยุ่น ไม่สามารถใส่เข้าไปในสถานการณ์จำลองได้ นั่นคือ ผลกระทบโดยตรงจากมนุษย์ ไม่ว่าจะเป็นการทำฟาร์มอย่างต่อเนื่อง การสูญเสียพื้นที่พืชคลุมดิน จากการเลี้ยงสัตว์มากเกินไป และอัตราการบริโภคน้ำ รวมเข้าด้วยกันกับการเปลี่ยนแปลงทางธรรมชาติ อาจจะทำให้เกิดวิกฤตการณ์ <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dust_Bowl" target="_blank">Dust Bowl</a>* อีกครั้งอย่างที่เคยเกิดมาในอดีตกับสหรัฐอเมริกาในช่วงปี 1930</p>
<p>Benjamin Cook แห่ง Columbia University กล่าวว่า กับพื้นที่ที่จะกลายเป็นพื้นที่แห้งแล้งเพราะปรากฏการณ์โลกร้อน ขณะเดียวกันก็มีการเปลี่ยนแปลงการใช้ที่ดินอย่างมากเช่นกัน เป็นไปได้มากที่สภาพ <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dust_Bowl" target="_blank">Dust Bowl</a>* จะหวนกลับมาอีกครั้ง</p>
<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dust_Bowl" target="_blank">*Dust Bowl</a> &#8211; ปรากฏการณ์ของพายุฝุ่นรุนแรง ที่เกิดขึ้นในอเมริกา และแคนาดา ในช่วงปี ค.ศ. 1930-1936 ที่สร้างความเสียหายเป็นอย่างมากให้กับสภาพแวดล้อม และการเกษตรกรรม ปรากฏการณ์นี้เป็นผลมาจากความแห้งแล้งอย่างรุนแรง และการทำการเกษตรต่อเนื่องหลายทศวรรษ โดยปราศจากการปลูกพืชหมุนเวียน และพืชคลุมดินจนทำให้ดินเสื่อมสภาพอย่างมาก</p>

<blockquote><p>Aug. 19, 2009 &#8212; As the world warms over the next century, global deserts could expand by as much as 34 percent, according to a new study, swallowing an area roughly the size of the United States.</p>
<p>Predicting what the future holds for climate is a tricky business; nothing is ever certain.</p>
<p>But our best guess is that human-induced global warming is going to dry out much of the arid lands in Africa&#8217;s Sahel region, areas around the Mediterranean Sea, the fringes of China&#8217;s Gobi desert, parts of South America and southwestern North America.</p>
<p>Moderate estimates by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) predict that deserts will expand 10 percent worldwide by the year 2100. But it could be much worse.</p>
<p>The computer models the IPCC used for their latest estimate neglected a key aspect of climate: When trees dry out and die en masse, they leave behind a brighter landscape that reflects more sunlight back out into space.</p>
<p>This causes land to stay cooler, a death sentence for arid regions that rely on heat to draw in nourishing monsoonal winds and rain from the ocean&#8230;(<a target="_blank" href="http://dsc.discovery.com/news/2009/08/19/desert-expansion.html">continue</a>)</p></blockquote>
