These microscopic creatures have been around for 550 million years. Because of their abundance in ancient sediments and their sensitivity to different environments, oil companies hire paleontologists to examine forams in rock samples to help them decide where to drill. For similar reasons, forams also are useful indicators of past climate change. picked by AutumnLotus 3 years ago

As an antidote to this year's Darwin-mania, we celebrate a piece of science from 1859 that wasn't remotely controversial at the time, but which underpins the hottest political potato of our era: climate change. In May 1859, six months before the publication of On the Origin of Species, Irish physicist John Tyndall proved that some gases have a remarkable capacity to hang onto heat, so demonstratin... read full post picked by AutumnLotus 7 months ago

We may be running out of dirt.

That's not just a problem for farmers, that carbon ends up in the atmosphere, contributing to climate change, which then exacerbates other food-growing issues such as drought or floods and extreme temperatures. Plus, degraded soils spur farmers to clear more land, contributing to the rapid destruction of the world's forests, further exacerbating climate change. picked by Bingo 4 months ago
