...they have not taken into account the speed of global deforestation. Warmer oceans absorb less atmospheric carbon dioxide, so we depend increasingly on the world's remaining vegetation to filter the air for us. Because vegetation is the only means by which carbon dioxide is converted into life-giving oxygen, we need to start seriously thinking more about controlling deforestation. We should establish a massive international reforestation program to reverse global warming. Ian Vincent Nairobi...
...cardiovascular fitness so important to cognitive health? Researchers used to think it was all about making sure that plenty of oxygen-rich blood made it to the brain. Now they are starting to suspect there may be more to it. In laboratory animals, at least, exercise also seems to stimulate the body's production of certain molecules called growth factors, which help nerves stay healthy and keep functioning. "We don't understand a lot about why this happens," says Arthur Kramer, a researcher at the University of Illinois who uses brain scans to study the effects of exercise...

...initial communications breakdown appeared to occur when a rescue team found the trapped miners at around 11:45 p.m., Tuesday, and informed workers at a clean-air station of their discovery. What they said remains unknown but they were using a scratchy radio connection and speaking through bulky oxygen masks, which may have resulted in a misunderstanding. The message from the clean-air station to a command center on the surface was loud and clear, however: "12 are alive." The announcement sparked a celebration, and Ben Hatfield, CEO of ICG, gave a bear hug to West Virginia Governor Joe Manchin...
...entrance and was able to escape. Another group of 13 had ventured about 2.5 miles into the shaft and was trapped in a cloud of dust and carbon monoxide. One member of this group, fire boss Marty Bennett, had been traveling a few hundred feet in the rear, monitoring oxygen levels, and was killed instantly by the blast. The first group of miners ran into the shaft to try and save their friends, but was forced out by the toxic gases. As the rescue operation dragged on, with workers slowly reventilating the mine, video cameras lowered into holes indicated that...
