...regional warming trends and growing water scarcity. Another study published last month, also in Science, found that even the seemingly limitless Amazon rainforest could be highly vulnerable to drought. And since living trees suck up CO2 from the atmosphere, massive tree mortality due to warming could produce a feedback effect, further intensifying climate change. In the end, we might need a bigger Biosphere 2, because we're on track to screw up Biosphere 1 - otherwise known as the Earth...

Added carbs from drinks would be useful only after several hours of exertion, when the body starts to draw upon its stored glucose, known as glycogen, for energy. But the subjects in the study were showing improved times and greater power in sessions lasting 60 minutes or less. Were...

The throw comes home ahead of Rogers, but the catcher bobbles it and Rogers scores. Douglas follows up and steals third, keeping the sac fly in effect.
