...this two-part, hour-long episode, the entire office heads to Niagara Falls for Jim and Pam’s wedding (finally!). Various things go wrong—Michael failed to make a reservation and has to sleep in the ice room, Pam’s conservative grandmother finds out she’s pregnant and threatens to leave the wedding, Pam has to drive Andy to the hospital when he tears his scrotum while trying to do the splits, etc.—and Pam gets upset because she feels like the wedding has been usurped and ruined...

Some of the best evidence linking rising carbon dioxide levels to a warmer world comes from the coldest places on earth. Samples of ancient air extracted from deep inside the Antarctic and Greenland ice caps make it clear that CO2 is scarce in the atmosphere during ice ages and relatively abundant during warmer interglacial periods - like...
...relationship between CO2 and climate is clear going back about 800,000 years. Before that, however, it gets murkier. That's largely because ice and air that old haven't yet been found. So scientists rely instead on indirect measurements - and these have led to a climate mystery: some episodes of past warming, including a planetary heat wave about 15 million years ago and another about 3.5 million years ago, seem to have happened without a rise in CO2. No one quite understands why. Maybe other greenhouse gases were the cause - methane, for example. Or maybe...
...species of foraminifera that are still around ("You can grow them in the lab," she says), just in case the effect varied from one species to another. Beyond that, they compared their own foraminifera-based CO2 estimates for the past 800,000 years with the measurements from the ice caps - and, says Tripati, "they matched to within 20 p.p.m." That makes her and her colleagues confident that the older measurements are valid as well...
