And if one type won't help them, perhaps another will???

Earth's peatlands contain a vast amount of sequestered carbon, about as much, in fact, as that contained in the entire atmosphere. As a result, they are vital elements of the planet's carbon cycle and have the potential to significantly impact its climate. In this summary, we briefly review the findings of several papers that come to bear upon this topic.

How has it been affected by over a century of global warming?

How did it compare with that of other parts of the world?

What does it reveal about the natural millennial-scale oscillation of earth's climate? ... and about the relative warmth of the Medieval Warm Period?

What was done? ... and what was learned?

How did it vary? ... and what was the hierarchy of responsible factors?

The latest addition of peer-reviewed data archived to our database of marine organism responses to atmospheric CO2 enrichment is Purple Sea Urchin [Strongylocentrotus purpuratus].

Our latest results of plant growth responses to atmospheric CO2 enrichment obtained from experiments described in the peer-reviewed scientific literature are: Candle Anemone (Lee et al., 2011) and Yarrow (Lee et al., 2011).

What are the implications for Amazonia?

Have tropical storms and hurricanes of the Atlantic Ocean become more numerous over the past century, in response to what climate alarmists describe as unprecedented global warming?

What does it suggest about the impact of the historical increase in the air's CO2 content on the frequency of the most intense category of hurricanes?

How well are they represented by general circulation models of the atmosphere?

Why the approach is much too simplistic to use as a guide to how real-life plants and animals react to climate change.

Can they adequately cope with such a devastating double whammy?

How is it impacted by atmospheric CO2 enrichment?

The latest addition of peer-reviewed data archived to our database of marine organism responses to atmospheric CO2 enrichment is Serpent Star [Ophiura ophiura] (Wood et al., 2010; net calcification from regenerated arms 40 days after exposure to low pH).

Our latest results of plant growth responses to atmospheric CO2 enrichment obtained from experiments described in the peer-reviewed scientific literature are: Indiangrass (Lee et al., 2011) and Little Bluestem (Lee et al., 2011).

Was there a Medieval Warm Period? YES, according to data published by 1049 individual scientists from 600 research institutions in 44 different countries ... and counting! Our latest Medieval Warm Period Record comes from Storegga Slide, Southwestern Norwegian Continental Margin.

Who's pro-life? ... and who's predicting death?
