Habitat Affects Escape Behavior of Birds

A new carbon cycle model developed by researchers in Europe indicates that global carbon emissions must start dropping by no later than 2015 to prevent the planet from tipping into dangerous climate instability.
The finding is likely to put new pressure on the world’s top two carbon emitters — China and the US — both o... | <urn:uuid:3c48599d-00d0-4bef-8ac0-94d34a0f8472> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://www.greenbang.com/clocks-ticking-carbon-emissions-must-peak-by-2015_14888.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368702448584/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516110728-00003-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.934462 | 371 | 3.9375 | 4 | [

Every spring, the southern polar cap on Mars almost fizzes with carbon dioxide, as the surface is broken by hundreds of geysers throwing sand and dust hundreds of feet into the Martian "air".
