• No matter how often I read about treatments like this, I still can’t believe parents actually subject their children to them

  
  — Authority:
  It’s been a while since I’ve written about MMS. You remember MMS, don’t you? It’s an abbreviation for “miracle mineral solution,” a solution first promoted by a man who is inaptly named Jim Humble. Basically, as I’ve described in multiple blog posts, MMS is bleach, specifically chlorine dioxide (ClO2). I ...

• Are Carbon Dioxide Levels Turning Earth into Krypton?

  
  — Authority:
  Carbon dioxide levels on Earth have reached an all-time high. Are we making a new planet? Can we live on it? Sitting in a packed theater on opening weekend of “Man of Steel,” I couldn’t help notice the similarities between Earth and Krypton, Superman’s home planet (I won’t ruin the movie for you, I ...

• Climate talk shifts from curbing CO2 to adapting

  
  — Authority:
  Efforts to curb global warming have quietly shifted as greenhouse gases inexorably rise. The conversation is no longer solely about how to save the planet by cutting carbon emissions. It’s becoming more about how to save ourselves from the warming planet’s wild weather. It was Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s ...

• Global cooling as significant as global warming, research shows

  
  — Authority:
  A “cold snap” 116 million years ago triggered a similar marine ecosystem crisis to those witnessed in the past as a result of global warming, according to research published today in Nature Geoscience. The international study involving experts from the universities of Newcastle, UK, Cologne, Frankfurt and ...

• Noble gases hitch a ride on hydrous minerals

  
  — Authority:
  The six noble gases do not normally dissolve into minerals, leaving earth scientists to wonder how they are subducted back into the Earth. Researchers at Brown have discovered that the lattice structure of minerals such as amphibole provides a way. Better yet, the multiple isotopes of noble gases could help scientists ...

• The coming seafood buffet crisis?

  
  — Authority:
  Its been ages since I have had a post about ocean acidification. Three recent stories on the topic caught my eye, however, and two of them are potentially bad news for those who like to partake of a seafood buffet: 1.   squid, including the type we routinely eat, seem to be adversely affected by increasing ...

• Greenhouse Gases and Their Global Warming Potential

  
  — Authority:
  Gases that trap the heat in the atmosphere are called greenhouse gases. It is a proven fact that these greenhouse gases are a major cause of global warming. However, each of them contributes to global warming to a different extent. Global warming potential (GWP) is a term used to describe the relative contribution of ...

• Carbon dioxide and the Earth biome – Research uncovers new data

  
  Desdemona Despair: Blogging the End of the World — Authority: 125
  By Melissa Hathaway, guest blogger 14 June 2013 It has been well publicized over the last 30 – 40 years that carbon dioxide is driving the greenhouse effect, resulting in: global warming; carbon cycle imbalances; the melting of the polar caps; and changes to the deep sea currents which carry warm water from the ...

• Ocean acidification killing oysters by inhibiting shell formation, study finds

  
  — Authority:
  For the past several years, the Pacific Northwest oyster industry has struggled with significant losses due to ocean acidification as oyster larvae encountered mortality rates sufficient to make production non-economically feasible. Now a new study led by researchers at Oregon State University has documented why ...

• Moving iron in Antarctica: New study on carbon dioxide absorption in Antarctic seas

  
  — Authority:
  The seas around Antarctica can, at times, resemble a garden. Large-scale experiments where scientists spray iron into the waters, literally fertilizing phytoplankton, have created huge man-made algal blooms. Such geoengineering experiments produce diatoms, which pull carbon dioxide out of the air. Experts argue that ...

• Few may have noticed, but we have just witnessed the most important move yet to tackle climate change

  
  — Authority:
  No one much seems to have noticed, at least in this country, but we have just witnessed what is probably the most important agreement ever on combating climate change. And it has nothing whatsoever to do with cutting emissions of carbon dioxide. While the latest round of international negotiations to control the ...

• Carbon (And Practically Everything Else) Just Got More Expensive

  
  The Foundry: Conservative Policy News Blog from The Heritage Foundation — Authority: 707
  Newscom The Department of Energy (DOE) finalized a rule at the end of May that mandates the amount of energy microwaves can use on standby mode starting in 2016. The DOE tries to legitimize the rule by saying that the alleged social cost of carbon (SCC) is more than it was in 2011—in fact, almost 50 percent ...

• Scientists Find Simple Way to Create Gold-Indium Oxide Catalytic Nanoparticles

  
  — Authority:
  Scientists at Brookhaven National Laboratory have developed a relatively simple synthesis process for making core-shell gold-indium oxide nanoparticles. While it is no secret that gold nanoparticles can make a great catalyst, the process of turning raw gold into a usable chemical form is often very complex and ...

• Discovery of new material state counterintuitive to laws of physics

  
  — Authority:
  When you squeeze something, it gets smaller. Unless you’re at Argonne National Laboratory. At the suburban Chicago laboratory, a group of scientists has seemingly defied the laws of physics and found a way to apply pressure to make a material expand instead of compress/contract. “It’s like squeezing a stone and ...
