Arctic Sea Ice Decline May Trigger Climate Change Cascade 
Arctic sea ice that has been dwindling for several decades may have reached a tipping point that could trigger a cascade of climate change reaching into Earth's temperate regions, says a new University of Colorado at Boulder study.ScienceDaily Headlines: Earth & Climate, 2007-03-26 04:03:17

Global 'Sunscreen' Has Likely Thinned, Report NASA Scientists
A new NASA study has found that an important counter-balance to the warming of our planet by greenhouse gases -- sunlight blocked by dust, pollution and other aerosol particles -- appears to have lost ground.ScienceDaily Headlines: Earth & Climate, 2007-03-26 04:03:17

Global December-February Temperature Warmest On Record
NOAA reports that February's combined global land and ocean surface temperature was the sixth warmest on record, but a strong El Nino in January helped push the winter to its highest value since records began in 1880.ScienceDaily Headlines: Earth & Climate, 2007-03-26 04:03:17

New Biofuels Process Promises To Meet All US Transportation Needs
Purdue University chemical engineers have proposed a new environmentally friendly process for producing liquid fuels from plant matter - or biomass - potentially available from agricultural and forest waste, providing all of the fuel needed for "the entire US transportation sector."ScienceDaily Headlines: Earth & Climate, 2007-03-26 04:03:17

Ocean Acidification Predicted To Harm Shellfish, Aquaculture
In 2100, mussels are expected to calcify their shells 25 percent slower than currently; oysters, 10 percent slower. This will be caused by the continued release and accumulation of carbon dioxide in the air: one third of which will be absorbed by the ocean water, thereby making it more acid.ScienceDaily Headlines: Earth & Climate, 2007-03-26 04:03:17

Environmental Poisons: New Method To Evaluate Highly Toxic Tin Compounds
A method for monitoring highly poisonous tin compounds originating from landfill sites has been developed by French Scientists. Organotin compounds are widely used as heat and light stabilisers in the production of plastics, and also as fungicides, pesticides, wood preservatives and antifouling paints.ScienceDaily Headlines: Earth & Climate, 2007-03-26 04:03:17

Scientists Study Microbes In A Wintry Lake Erie
Scientists sailed the entire length of Lake Erie over three days in late February onboard the Canadian Coast Guard Ship Griffon. The purpose of the voyage was to examine the status of microbial ecology of the lake during the depth of winter.ScienceDaily Headlines: Earth & Climate, 2007-03-26 04:03:17

Statistical Analysis Debunks Climate Change Naysayers
In a thought-provoking statistical analysis, a Canadian economics professor concludes that whether or not climate change can be wholly attributed to human factors, it makes strong economic and environmental sense to treat it as human-caused and take action now.ScienceDaily Headlines: Earth & Climate, 2007-03-26 04:03:17

Shooting Marbles At 16,000 Miles Per Hour
NASA scientist Bill Cooke is shooting marbles and he's playing "keepsies." The prize won't be another player's marbles, but knowledge that will help keep astronauts safe when America returns to the Moon in the next decade. Cooke is firing quarter-inch diameter clear shooters -- Pyrex glass, to be exact -- at soil rather than at other marbles. And he has to use a new one on each round because every 16,000 mph (7 km/s) shot destroys his shooter.ScienceDaily Headlines: Earth & Climate, 2007-03-26 04:03:17

Conservation Groups Join Forces To Promote Environmentally Sustainable Cacao Industry
Seeds of Change, a global leader in sustainable organic agriculture practices, announced today that it will partner with Conservation International (CI) on vital programs to create an environmentally sustainable cacao industry in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest where both cacao farming and biodiversity are in jeopardy.ScienceDaily Headlines: Earth & Climate, 2007-03-26 04:03:17
