One key difference: for the experimental group, researchers ramped up the temperature 7° Fahrenheit (4° Celsius), the rough midpoint of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's business-as-usual predictions for warming in this century. "We thought temperature might play a big role, but that was speculation until we could conduct an experiment," says Adams. "The great thing about Biosphere 2 is that it allowed us to test...

The focus of humankind's survival strategy and religious mythology instantly turned to radioactive ash. (See the top 10 TV series...
...think we outplayed them, but their goalie stood on her head and had a good game, and the pucks just didn’t drop our way.” The Tigers got all the offense they needed on a second-period goal from freshman Heather Landry. At the midpoint of the frame, Landry received the puck in the right circle and slipped it past Martin to put Princeton ahead for good.Freshmen Julie Johnson and Charissa Stadnyk recorded assists on the play. “For the first five minutes after the goal, we kind of threw the puck around...
