From xkcd: http://www.xkcd.com/164/ Science is about facts and evidence. There is a lot of evidence that carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas. You can explore with our models how carbon…
…All they need to do now is find stars that have planets that have at least one moon. “When they’re found, we’ll be ready to weigh them,” said Kipping. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/10/101015140801.htm…
…detect smaller and smaller motions will enhance the ability of instruments to detect smaller and smaller planets around other stars–perhaps even another “Earth.” Technological innovation is the only limit. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/11/101128220203.htm…
…plant trees locally, reap the cooling effect locally, and also help to cool globally! Learn more about the relationship between clouds and climate in the High-Adventure Science climate investigation. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2011/09/110914161729.htm…
How can you tell whatβs in the atmosphere of a planet thatβs over one billion miles from Earth? Blog Post
Use a VERY long sampling straw? Nope. Use a spectrometer? Yup. (Explore how this works in our “Is there life outside of Earth?” investigation.) Scientists at NASA, the European Space…
…think it is important to get that message out now.” http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2011/02/110216132100.htm Explore the relationship between temperature and greenhouse gases in our activity, “What will Earth’s climate be in the future?“…
…roughly the same amount of sea level rise caused by melting glaciers and icecaps outside of Greenland and Antarctica and 25% of the total sea level rise per year! http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/09/100923142503.htm…
…Ending all greenhouse gas emissions immediately is not a realistic option. So Earth’s temperature will likely increase further. How much? Scientists are still tweaking the models to determine that. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2011/02/110215150845.htm…
Formaldehyde has many industrial uses–in particle board, plywood, carpet, and adhesives, to name just a few. Formaldehyde is toxic to life–the reason that it’s used as a disinfectant–and the reason…
