A few weeks before the last great international climate conference -- 2009, in Copenhagen -- the e-mail accounts of a few climate scientists were hacked and reviewed for incriminating evidence suggesting that global warming was a charade. Eight separate investigations later concluded that there was literally nothing to "Climategate," save a few sentences taken completely out of context -- but by that time, endless, breathless media accounts about the "scandal" had damaged the prospects for any progress at the conference.

And because of krills position on the food chain, this could be a very big problem. While you might not eat krill, that fish you had for lunch probably does, the New York Times reports: In the Southern Ocean, most marine life is a direct predator of krill or just one step removed.
