How temperature change affects natural methane emissions from watery environments.  This important study goes far to help explain why atmospheric methane levels went up and down as they did during every major ice age cycle.  “Never before have such unequivocal, strong relationships between temperature and emissions of methane bubbles been shown on such a wide, continent-spanning scale.”  This particular source of methane is important, but today is considerably outweighed by other sources that originate with human activities.  Changes in the “human group” are not controlled by temperature change feedback but do have a similar effect on temperature whenever they rise or fall.

A situation update on ocean acidification.  This report was prepared for the UN conference in Bonn by a German research group.  It highlights the negative effects being felt by a wide variety of marine species, in particular those that inhabit the polar regions where the corrosive nature of the waters is greatest.  The report also foresees a reduction in the oceans’ normal ability to sequester up to 25% of human CO2 emissions.  The scientists warn that “the only way to halt further ocean acidification is a drastic cut in CO2 emissions.”
