Nature World: A newly discovered source of iron from melting ice sheets may help buffer the effects of global warming. It is well known among the scientific community that bioavailable iron boosts phytoplankton growth in many of Earth's oceans. What possibly some don't realize is that phytoplankton capture carbon in the atmosphere, thus combating global warming's harmful carbon emissions. The plankton also feed into the bottom of the oceanic food chain, thus providing a food source for marine animals. A...

Oxford University scientists used the Google Trends tool to track web searches related to global warming over the past decade but found that peaks of interest in major stories, such as the leaking of climate scientists emails in 2009 dubbed climategate disappeared within a few weeks. We found that intense media coverage...
