Mongabay: As if ocean acidification and climate change werent troubling enough (both of which are caused by still-rising carbon emissions), new research published in Nature finds that ocean acidification will eventually exacerbate global warming, further raising the Earths temperature. Scientists have long known that tiny marine organismsphytoplanktonare central to cooling the world by emitting an organic compound known as dimethylsulphide (DMS).

Mother Jones: In 1996 Colorado received a very unwelcome--and hungry--house guest, the mountain pine beetle, whose voracious appetite for pine has since killed off millions of acres of trees there. A few years later, the beetles came knocking in British Columbia and have now knocked out over half the province's pine timber. The full-bore invasion of these critters, each no bigger than a grain of rice, is now one of the most pressing ecological disasters in the West, and their spread, scientists believe, is driven...

Chris Christie, however, said he won't condemn shorefront properties to prevent rebuilding homes there. "There are private property rights to respect here," the governor said. "And if folks are willing to comply with the law and...

Christian Post: Rush Limbaugh doesn't think we exist. In other words that evangelical scientists cannot subscribe to the evidence of global warming. Specifically, during a recent segment on his radio show Limbaugh stated, "If you believe in God, then intellectually you cannot believe in manmade global warming." Talk radio personalities often make hyperbolic statements. It is what their listeners expect and want to hear. But in this instance, Rush's uninformed rhetoric is demeaning to Christians who care deeply...
