Scientists solve puzzle of converting gaseous carbon dioxide to fuel: Saving the planet from climate change with a grain of sand. (2016). ScienceDaily. Retrieved 26 August 2016, from https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2

Every year, humans advance climate change and global warming by injecting about 30 billion tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Scientists believe they've found a way to convert all these emissions into energy-rich fuel in a carbon-neutral cycle that uses a very abundant natural resource: silicon.It's the seventh most-abundant element in the universe and the second most-abundant element in the earth's crust.

It took almost 5-9 million years for life to recover from this destructive event. New evidence shows why this took so long. The nutrients and temperature have been found in all of our oceans, and this has been found to show that the earth took 5-9 million years to recover.Arctic gives clues on worst mass extinction of life.

Some people think that a land bridge called the Isthmus of panama was formed six to twenty three million years ago, but a new study shows that it may have been formed 2.8 million years ago. O'Dea and his colleagues found that the Isthmus of Panama was slowly developed over a period of 30 million years. Evolutionary biologists want to know when the bridge was formed so they can learn about evolution.]]> 2016-08-26 12:47:10 UTC https://padlet.com/molly_maish/9zvygc00a0ih/wish/120013571 Hope Blevins https://padlet.com/molly_maish/9zvygc00a0ih/wish/120153479 New study indicates that contamination events in and around oil and gas developments are the result of operational inefficiencies and not inherent to the extraction process itself.

Summary:
New research suggests that Pennsylvania residents with the highest exposure to active natural gas wells operated by the hydraulic fracturing ('fracking') industry are nearly twice as likely to suffer from a combination of migraine headaches, chronic nasal and sinus symptoms and severe fatigue.
