Greenhouse theory smashed by biggest stone
...hat this explosion would have caused "considerable stirring of the high layers of atmosphere and change its structure." Such meteoric disruption was the trigger for the subsequent rise in global temperatures. Global warming is thought to be caused by the "greenhouse effect". Energy from the sun reaches the ea...Potential vaccine developed for deadly leishmaniasis disease
...s among a new genre of carbohydrate-based vaccines stirring excitement in medical circles. Carbohydrates are chemical compounds that include sugar and are made from units linked together like beads on a chain. "This is the first and only carbohydrate vaccine candidate against this disease," Seeberger stated. ...Marine life stirs ocean enough to affect climate, says FSU study
...t. And the sum of all that phytoplankton-fueled stirring may equal climate control. "By interpreting existing data in a different way, we have predicted theoretically that the amount of mixing caused by ocean swimmers is comparable to the deep ocean mixing caused by the wind blowing on the ocean surface ...The Milky Way shaped life on Earth
...ife, winds are stronger when the world is cold. By stirring the oceans, they improve the supply of nutrients in the surface waters so much that productivity can be higher than in a warm climate. And this, in effect, enlarges the fluctuations in biological productivity. Most likely, the variations in cosmic ...Conventional plowing is 'skinning our agricultural fields'
...ove to be a major benefit in a warming climate. By stirring crop residue into the soil surface, no-till farming can gradually increase organic matter in soil, as much as tripling its carbon content in less than 15 years. "Returning the organic matter to the soil stores carbon," Montgomery said. "If all far...1 of deep ocean's most turbulent areas has big impact on climate
...surface much as you would mix cream into coffee by stirring it with a spoon. We know that the mixing of warm surface water with very cold deep water is one of several factors that influence the Earth's climate, he said. The mixing we observed and measured for our study allows the warmth at the surface of th...
