Capturing Carbon Dioxide In Tiny Bowls: Global Warming Fix From Microbes? The accidental discovery of a bowl-shaped molecule that pulls carbon dioxide out of the air suggests exciting new possibilities for dealing with global warming, including genetically engineering microbes to manufacture those carbon dioxide 'catchers.' Science dailySound Solution: New Detection Technologies May Help Protect Whales Ship traffic, seismic tests and sonar pings can make navigating the seas tricky for whales. But with the help of the heat and sound naturally generated by the warm-blooded creatures, researchers are hoping to make their waters safe again. [More] Scientific AmericanThe folly of pretence We must not preserve the myth of God - it was a useful crutch, but we've outgrown itThe question: Should we believe in belief?As I explain in the chapter by that title in Breaking the Spell, 'belief in belief' is a common phenomenon not restricted to religions. Economists realise that a sound currency depends on people believing that the currency is sound, and scientists recognise that the actual objectivity of scientific studies on global warming is politically impotent unless people believe in that objectivity, so economists and scientists (among others) take steps to foster and protect such beliefs that they think are benign. That's acting on belief in belief.Sometimes the maintenance of a belief is deemed so important that impressive systems of propaganda are erected and vigorously defended by people who do not in fact share the belief that they think is so important for society to endorse. For instance, imbecile monarchs have been kept on their thrones by widespread conspiracies o GuardianOpinion: Al Gore: Australia can be path-breaking `early responder` to climate change Climate change campaigner Al Gore sets the challenge for Australia to take the lead in adapting to a new global environmental reality, while praising its efforts to date in geothermal and solar research. Science AlertHopes bloom over algae biofuel Oil giant Exxon Mobil will invest US$600 million over the next five to six years on trying to develop biofuel from algae, even though the company has said renewables will be only a small part of global energy supply. Topix.netAncient global warming episode holds clues to future climate, UH Manoa researcher says A global warming event 55 million years ago cannot be solely explained by atmospheric carbon dioxide levels, a study published in Nature Geoscience shows. Richard Zeebe from the University of Hawaii and his team highlight gaps in scientists' understanding of impacts from intense and rapid climate change. Carbon dioxide released at the time can only account for a fraction of the temperature rise. So far unknown mechanisms must have contributed significantly to the ancient warming. Eurekalert.orgSolar cycle linked to global climate Establishing a key link between the solar cycle and global climate, research led by scientists at the National Science Foundation-funded National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colo., shows that maximum solar activity and its aftermath have impacts on Earth that resemble La Niña and El Niño events in the tropical Pacific Ocean. Eurekalert.org`Motion picture` of past warming paves way for snapshots of future climate change (University of Wisconsin-Madison) By accurately modeling Earth's last major global warming -- and answering pressing questions about its causes -- scientists led by a University of Wisconsin-Madison climatologist are unraveling the intricacies of the kind of abrupt climate shifts that may occur in the future. Eurekalert.orgSecretary of State Clinton Says U.S. Must Partner With Ã?Â?Great Number of Actors` The Obama administration is attempting to build a 'multi-partner world' in which governments and private groups work collectively on common global problems and in which the United States does not shun dialogue with its adversaries, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said yesterday.
