Week in science: shocking the brain, changing the climate, and pageranking the Nobel Prizes
Sat, Jan 31st, 2009
Thanks to the new site organization, all of the science news can now be had in one place. For those of you who haven't had the chance to check in with Nobel Intent this week, these are some of the biggest stories we covered. The world seems to be inching closer to taking concrete steps to slow and reduce the emissions of carbon dioxide that are contributing to climate change and ocean acidification. But a study explored what would happen if carbon emissions stopped. Unfortunately, it turns out the oceans have been absorbing much of the temperature increases and CO2 emissions, and will slowly release them over the coming centuries, preventing our return to preindustrial conditions indefinitely.
