POPSBotulism "Fun Facts" in time for the holidays "Those bacteria also prefer alkaline environments, so the most common canned-food culprits are low-acid foods such as asparagus, lima beans, green beans, corn, meats, fish, and poultry.

POPSOceans running low on oxygen These dead zones occur when fertilizer runoff dumps excess nutrients, such as nitrogen and phosphorous, into coastal waters, providing food for algae. When these microscopic plants die and sink to the ocean bottom, bacteria feed on them and subsequently consume all the oxygen dissolved in the water. This leaves fish and other bottom-dwelling sea creatures without enough oxygen to survive, causing mass die-offs and displacements. Typically, the researchers noted, these events aren't noticed until they threaten valuable fish stocks.

POPSA Novel Bacterial Species Is Found Trapped In 120,000-year-old Ice The ultra-small size of the new species could be one explanation for why it was able to survive for so long in the Greenland glacier. Called Chryseobacterium greenlandensis, the species is related genetically to certain bacteria found in fish, marine mud, and the roots of some plants. The organism is one of only about 10 scientifically described new species originating from polar ice and glaciers.

POPSChinese Climate Records::100 AD ' Was Warmer Then' The Chinese researchers also looked at modern proxy evidence of past temperatures. * The oxygen isotopes in ice cores yield an annual record of the air temperatures when the ice was laid down. The researchers looked at two ice cores from Tibet. * Trees respond to warmth and rainfall by growing more rapidly, and the Chinese researchers examined two tree ring records from China and one from nearby Japan. * They included analysis of pollen and organic matter in a deep peat bog on the edge of the Tibetan Plateau. * They examined sediment cores from two lake beds in Taiwan. From this evidence, the Chinese researchers concluded China's warmest period during the past 2000 years occurred around 100 AD. This aligns with Roman records of growing wine grapes in Britain during their occupation of that island in the first century--even though Britain was unable to grow wine grapes from 1300 to 1950 because of too-cold temperatures

POPSSave Oil, Damage Water Supply Attempting to replace oil consumption with biofuel production / consumption without first investigating the consequences is so short-sighted. Perhaps, that should be expected. Planning and foresight do not seem to be strengths of this administration in any area.
