Photo credit: M. McCarthy via University of California, Santa Cruz There’s a reason for leaving “no stone unturned” when it comes to scientific exploration — there’s probably life underneath even the most unlikely rock. Even if that rock is well under the seafloor. Researchers from the University of California, Santa Cruz, have found evidence for a biological community of living organisms camped out in porous rock deep underneath the seabed. The microbes are “chemoautotrophic,” getting their energy from chemicals rather than sunlight or sunlight-dependent or… Read the full story on TreeHugger

Photo: American Food Store British economist and lead climate negotiator Lord Nicholas Stern (of the famous Stern report ) issued something of a warning to the United States last week. He effectively argued that if the US fails to address climate change by enacting a pricing scheme to reign in carbon emissions, we could face an international trade boycott on American-made goods. … Read the full story on TreeHugger

Photo via alextorrenegra While we know that deforestation means a loss of carbon storage , it’s difficult to quantify just how much carbon can still be stored in what is left of the Amazon rainforest. Standing in the way is both practicality issues (each tree trunk must be measured to estimate its stored carbon) and the cost of accurate accounting. But, ecologist Greg Asner and a team of scientists from the Carnegie Ins… Read the full story on TreeHugger
