Welcome, welcome. Monday is here once again right on schedule. The time has come to gather around and take a well deserved hiatus from all the politics of the day. Science talk is here. New discoveries, new takes on old knowledge, and other bits of news are all available for the perusing in today's information world. Over the fold are selections from the past week from a few of the many excellent science news sites around the world. Today's tidbits include current global warming may reverse Atlantic current as it did 20,000 years ago, how ancient plant and soil fungi turned the earth green, land and water management across the U.S. leads to ecological degradation, how lead gets into urban vegetable gardens, and water flowing through ice sheets accelerates warming. Pull up that comfy chair and sit by the fire. There is plenty of room for everyone. Get ready for one more session of Dr. Possum's science education and entertainment.
