From the Christian Science Monitor, a study looking at soil respiration, finds that with increased temperatures, mushrooms, roots and other soil organisms will not released as much of CO2 as previously thought. The only thing wrong (and I’m nit-picking) is that the author said that mushrooms are the “tiniest terrestrial inhabitants.” Mushrooms can be some of the biggest organisms on the planet.

I had read this article on-line about global energy consumption (I forget where), and I’ve been thinking about the question about where our energy will come from in the future. There are a lot of talk about what technologies are out there that could “save us from ourselves.” And I keeping thinking that as like the Agricultural Revolution and the Industrial Revolution, we are in need of that sort of remake of society.
