Geotimes February 2005 Naomi Lubick	Virtual Climate Experiment's Results A worldwide global climate experiment that ran on tens of thousands of personal computers across the planet offered the most extreme scenario yet for global warming.
Geotimes February 2007 Sally Adee	Escape From Snowball Earth Early Earth didn't do things half-way: It may or may not have ever been a solidly frozen "snowball" in the deep geological past, but it was never a half-frozen ball of slush, according to a new study.
Geotimes August 2006 Megan Sever	From Hot to Cold in the Arctic For the first time, scientists have recovered direct evidence of what life in the Arctic has been like for the past 56 million years. A new 400-meter-long sediment core is revealing that all in the Arctic has not always been as it seems.
Geotimes April 2003 Dave Lawrence	Microfossil lineages support sloshy snowball Earth Whether Earth's surface was completely frozen over during the glaciations about 900 to 540 million years ago (a hardball) or experienced open water near the equator (a slushball) is up for debate. Recent research now suggests that slushball conditions were more likely.

Geotimes June 2004 Megan Sever	Reworking the Cambrian Explosion Trilobite diversification during the Cambrian is thought to exemplify the explosion of animals and plants. New research suggests, however, that the trilobites diversified much earlier, thus calling into question the theory and possible dates of a biological big bang caused by tectonic movement.

Geotimes April 2005 Sara Pratt	Space Dust and Snowball Earth Within the spiral arms of the Milky Way galaxy are thousands of giant clouds of dust. Some researchers now say that these clouds collide with Earth every 140 million years, possibly explaining the causes of two distinct periods of widespread glaciation in the planet's geologic past.

In explaining this change, scientists have focused on human-related causes -- but a new study shows that nature should not be ignored.
IEEE Spectrum May 2007 William B. Gail	Climate Control We will be able to engineer the Earth to our liking -- but we'd better start now. Before we picked a climate, we would need to evolve the political, commercial, and academic institutions to get us there.

Now, geologists present new evidence suggesting both types of organisms existed as early as 2.45 billion years ago.
