This is so significant. I find the use of the coralline alga really fascinating. In reading through this article, I am struck that this needs to be told as a simpler story to catch people's attention. Writers and storytellers that are very good at condensing information are so critical right now to raising public awareness. I wonder if Catherine Heyhoe has written about this. I will have to have a look. Thanks for this important insight!

Thank you for breaking down the science and weaving together biology, chemistry, and climate science so thoughtfully.

All reliable objective evidence points to the fact that ‘climate change/global warming/ whatever’ is not a man made phenomenon, but relates to solar, earth orbit, geological phenomena. Tipping point/ shipping point, nothing that man is going to do will change it, and a warmer planet is good for us all: plants (upon which we all depend ultimately), animals and humans.

That inconvenient truth doesn’t help get government grants, but, too bad.
