Wasp spider foreign exchange program shows shifting heat tolerance — By analyzing the genetic diversity and distribution of the wasp spider (Argiope bruennichi) geneticists at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology have pinned the initial shift in the spiders' range to the 1930s, occurring "in parallel with the onset of global warming."

Beware the National Fertilizer Association — It's also true, as gun-rights supporters like to argue, that people can be killed in large numbers by methods other than firearms -- the Oklahoma City bombing was accomplished with fertilizer, for instance. But, then, those events inevitably lead to big changes related to the methods used to carry them out. A law that mandates licensing and registration for the kind of fertilizer used in Oklahoma City grew directly from that attack. But guns! They're an unrestrained social good! Ask any gun owner.
