An Oct. 18 Times article said he was; scientists and activists responding to that article say it's a lot more complicated. Tuesday, two letters that didn't weigh in on the science underpinning The Times' reporting were published.

Inquisitr: Scientists may have a new weapon against CO2 buildup and the struggle against climate change -- deep sea bacteria. One rare bacterium can change industrial CO2 into chalk with the help of human scientists. It may not be a silver bullet, but perhaps it could be one more tool to keep future temperatures down. It`s called Thiomicrospira crunogena, or T-Cru for short, and it produces an enzyme called carbonic anhydrase. That substance reacts with water to convert CO2 into bicarbonate -- which can...
