Well, they’ve officially found evidence for anthropomorphic damage to the carbon cycle on Earth, reported here and the full Nature article here. This is apparently the first time the theory that the Earth has a natural cycle for dealing with carbon in the atmosphere has gained direct empirical support, and is hopefully a death blow to the people that try to argue that carbon gets eaten by all the trees in Maine or that the tooth fairy takes it away to Fantasy Kingdom. Of course, this won’t stop the people screaming about scientists are lying for whatever reason before demanding their antibiotics for their resistant staph strain, and then blogging about the experience on their semiconductor, thin film magnetism, and optics driven computers.
