Leading scientist calls on religious leaders to tackle climate change President of the British Science Association, Lord May, says faith groups could lead policing of social behaviourReligious leaders should play a frontline role in mobilising people to take action against global warming, according to a leading scientist.Lord May, a former chief scientist to the government, said religious groups could use their influence to motivate believers into reducing the environmental impact of their lives.The international reach of faith-based organisations and their authoritarian structures give religious groups an almost unrivalled ability to encourage a large proportion of the world's population to go green, he said.Lord May highlighted the value of religion in uniting communities to tackle environmental challenges ahead of his presidential address to the British Science Association festival at the University of Surrey in Guildford today.He will use the address to raise what Charles Darwin considered one of the great unsolved problems of his time: the evolution GuardianTwo more genetic risk factors for Alzheimer`s disease found An international team of scientists has identified two more genetic risk factors for Alzheimer's disease.

The group, led by investigators from the School of Medicine at Cardiff in the United Kingdom and including scientists from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, completed the largest genome-wide association study ever involving patients with Alzheimer's disease. The study pooled DNA samples from more than 19,000 older European and US residents.
