Midges send undeniable message -- Planet is warming

12-11-2006 · EurekAlert!

Small insects that inhabit some of the most remote parts of the United States are sending a strong message about climate change. New research suggests that changes in midge communities in some of these areas provide additional evidence that the globe is indeed getting warmer. Researchers created a history of changing midge communities for six remote mountain lakes in the western United States.

Mars with ice, shaken, not stirred
10-25-2007 · EurekAlert!
Mars, like Earth, is a climate-fickle water planet. The main difference is that water on the frigid red planet is rarely liquid, preferring to spend almost all of its time traveling the world as a gas or churning up the surface as ice. That's the global picture literally and figuratively coming into much sharper focus as various Mars-orbiting cameras send back tomes of unprecedented super high-resolution imagery of ever-vaster tracts of the planet's surface.
