Back from Portugal to find the garden overgrown and mass of news to digest. While in Lisbon I wa5ched far more television than I do here, largely to work on my Portuguese comprehension.

Other big stories here didn’t rate a mention there. It’s going to take me a while to digest what’s happened, to say nothing about making sense of ... Read Full Story

You hop in the shower, if only to drown out the television, and try and remember what exactly ... Read Full Story

If you've been reading the news, people are reacting strongly to a new study which reported ocean acidification due to CO2 output is occurring at a faster rate than expected. But what is the deal with acidification, anyway? The worst part of a change in ocean pH is that it shifts the balance of carbonate ions. As the pH of the oceans drops, it is harder for animals to fix calcium carbonate. Therefore, with oceans acidifying at an alarming rate, the threat to calcified organisms is also rising faster than previously thought - and 2005 estimates were bad enough. Luckily, some calcifying organisms have ... Read Full Story
