A Coccolithophore's Response to Ocean Acidification (14 December 2018)
Regardless of pCO2 seawater conditions ranging from glacial to present-day to a predicted future, Ochrosphaera neapolitana is able to regulate its calcifying fluid pH to maintain pH homeostasis at the site of calcification and thus continue calcifying and photosynthesizing at a constant rate...

The Increasing Surface Mass Balance of Two Antarctic Glaciers (6 December 2018)
The Antarctic Peninsula has long been considered a poster-child of the climate alarmist movement, having experienced a warming rate that rivaled those of all other locations on the planet over the second half of the 20th century. Fast forward to the 21st century, however, and the data reveal a reversal of temperature trends (i.e., a cooling), along with evidence of glaciers accumulating mass -- discouraging findings if you are a climate alarmist...
