Washington Post: Americans largely concur that God created the Earth. But when it comes to how he wants its environment treated, and how much hes willing to intercede -- the agreement ends. A new poll released Friday shows major differences between faith groups on topics including concern over climate change, whether natural disasters are a sign of biblical end times and how deeply connected they feel to nature. White evangelicals are the most skeptical of climate change and the most likely to say recent natural...

Scientific American: For a professional blowhard, there is no worse fate than being ignored. So I`m always--well, almost always--delighted when my posts get pushback, especially from people who are smart, well-informed and thoughtful.

As an example of such neglect, I mentioned Neil Bhatiya and Tim Kovach`s...
Study examines the role of the deep ocean in carbon dioxide storage

Environmental News Network: The Southern Ocean plays an important role in the exchange of carbon dioxide between the atmosphere and the ocean. One aspect of this is the growth of phytoplankton, which acts as a natural sponge for carbon dioxide, drawing the troublesome greenhouse gas from the atmosphere into the sea. When these plankton die they can sink to the bottom of the ocean and store some of the carbon dioxide they have absorbed, a process scientists call the "biological carbon pump." Although many areas of the Southern...
