Mark Gatiss For New Doctor Who Showrunner?
So Who Will Take Over As Doctor Who's New Showrunner When Steven Moffat Leaves?
If Moffat announces that he is leaving, the questions is, who will take over as showrunner? Many many fans will assume that Mark Gatiss will take over. Gatiss works with Steven Moffat on the TV Series Sherlock, he also co-created and co-produced Sherlock, which is a modernised adaptation of the Sherlock Holmes stories, in which Gatiss plays the role of Sherlock's brother Mycroft as well as help write the show.
Gatiss also writes for Doctor Who itself. He has written The Lazarus Experiment which he also starred in as Professor Lazarus. He later returned to make two brief, uncredited appearances during the Matt Smith era as a Spitfire Pilot in Victory of the Daleks and A Good Man Goes to War. He then made a credited return to the programme as Gantok in The Wedding of River Song. He then wrote and episode for the latest Series 8, this was Robot of Sherwood.
Fans may want Gatiss to become the Showrunner, but what does the man himself have to say on the matter?
Speaking at the Galha Annual Lunch Gatiss was coy: “I don’t think about this… To be honest with you I’m very happy and very busy doing what I’m doing. Almost a little too busy actually.” - Mark Gatiss
Gatiss then added:
“I’m writing a new Doctor Who which is going to take me a long time.” - Mark Gatiss
Whether Mark takes over is entirely his choice to step forward.

Human Evolution and Climate Change
The Question An oft asked question relates to how humans and every other species on the planet will or will not adapt to the new environmental conditions that climate change will quite probably (and arguably already has) impose across much of the globe. For other species the answer is fairly obvious, they will either adapt or they will perish. As has been the case throughout all of earth’s history, evolution through natural selection requires that those with the traits that are best adapted to reproduce will do so and so pass them on, especially when pressed by changes in the environment. Many argue that the changes we are seeing or will soon see as a result of climate change are occurring too rapidly for many species to adapt. In essence that evolution cannot keep up with the pace of change. Mutations simply cannot occur frequently enough to supply a wide enough variety of phenotypes of different varieties to allow for at least one that can survive the new conditions any given species may find itself in. Rapid changes are the hardest for the longest lived (excluding microorganisms), and slowest reproducing creatures to deal with, and they face the greatest threat of massive population decrease or even extinction. I happen to think that adaptation can happen much faster than is typically believed, but am not naïve enough to think that even a greatly accelerated adaptation or mutation process will be enough to save all or even most animal species from the threat of habitat loss or change brought about by global warming.
