Science: Giant CO2

Giant CO2 'burp' started

warming 18,000 years ago

Washington: A giant "Burp" of carbon dioxide stored under the ocean between South Africa and Antarctica may have helped end the last ice age more than 18,000 years ago, according to a new study.

        

          The study, led by a scientist from Cambridge University, is "the first concrete evidence that carbon dioxide was more efficiently locked away in the deep ocean during the last ice age".

          The team made its discovery by doing radiocarbon dating on shells under the Southern Ocean from tiny foraminifera creatures, says the study, which will be published in Science magazine.

          Luke Skinner's team measured carbon 14 levels in the shells and compared this with carbon levels in the-atmosphere at the time to work out how long the CO2 had been locked in the ocean.

          "Our results show that during the last ice age, around 20,000 years ago, CO2 dissolved in the deep water circulating around Antarctica was locked away for much longer than today," Skinner said. This could clarify "how ocean mixing processes lock up more carbon dioxide during glacial periods" he said.

         According to the study, "pulses or 'burps' of CO2 from the deep Southern Ocean helped trigger a global thaw every 100,000 years or so. The size of these pulses was roughly equivalent to the change in CO2 experienced since the start of the industrial revolution."

         "If this theory is correct, we would expect to see large transfers of carbon from the ocean to the atmosphere at the end of each ice age."

         Skinner said the findings will help understand the feasibility of proposals to tackle global warming by pumping carbon dioxide into the deep sea. "Such CO2 would eventually come back up to the surface, and the question of how long it would take would depend on the state of the ocean circulation, as illustrated by the last deglaciation" Sinner said.

SCIENCE - IS "Ardi"

Is 'Ardi' human ancestor?

Some experts beg to deffer

New York: Last fall, a fossil skeleton named "Ardi" shook up the field of human evolution. Now, some scientists are raising doubts about what exactly the creature from Ethiopia was and what kind of landscape it inhabited.

       

         New critiques question whether Ardi really belongs on the human branch of the evolutionary tree, and whether it really lived in woodlands. That second question has implications for theories about what kind of environment spurred early human evolution. The new work is being published in journal Science, which last year declared the original presentation of the 4.4 million-year-old fossil to be the magazine's breakthrough of the year.

        Ardi, short for Ardipithecus ramidus, is a million years older than the famous "Lucy" fossil. Last October, it was hailed as a window on early human evolution An artist's rendition of Ardipithecus ramidus or 'Ardi'.

        Researchers concluded that Ardi walked upright rather than on its knuckles like chimps, for example, and that it lived in woodlands rather than open grasslands. It didn't look much like today's chimps. Our closest living relatives, even though it was closer than Lucy to the common ancestor of humans and chimps.

       Esteban Sarmiento of the Human Evolution Foundation in East Brunswick, New jersey, wrote in the new analysis that he's not convinced Ardi belongs on the evolutionary tree branch leading to modern humans.

       He thinks it came along earlier, before that human branch split off from the ancestors of chimps and gorillas. The anatomical features of teeth, the skull and elsewhere that experts cited just don't make a convincing case for membership on the human branch, he argued.

Health Issue: Kidney Transfer From Women

After Kidney Graft, Man Gets

Woman's cancer

The man decided to keep the kidney as his doctor said there was only a slim chance he could be sickened by uterine cancer, which the donor had

New York: The scenario was unique, as far as doctors could tell: A man had received a transplanted kidney from a woman who had uterine cancer and didn't know it.

          Vincent Liew decided to keep the kidney after his transplant surgeon concluded there was only a slim chance he could be sickened by the feminine cancer - advice that gambled with Liew's life and lost, a lawyer for his widow told jurors on Thursday in what experts say may be the only known case of uterine cancer being transmitted by transplant.

         Jurors began deliberating the case against NYU Langone Medical Center on Thursday. Liew's widow, Kimberly, is seeking more than $3 million in damages in her lawsuit against the hospital.

         Langone should be held responsible "for taking a huge risk with Vincent Liew's life" by not urging him to have the kidney removed at once, Daniel Buttafuoco said during closing arguments in the medical-malpractice case, which is refreshing longstanding questions about organ transplant risks and rewards.

        NYU Langone Medical Center says it advised Liew of the risk, honored his choice and aggressively monitored the kidney for signs of cancer. Though tests found nothing, Liew suffered back pain and ultimately had the kidney removed about six months after the 2002 transplant. He died about three weeks later of cancer that came from his donor, his autopsy said, without specifying the type

of cancer, He was 37.

       Liew, a diabetic since his teens was on dialysis, had been awaiting a kidney for about five years when he got the transplant February 25, 2002.

       The donor, Sandy Cabrera, 50, had died of a stroke about a day earlier in Newburgh, New York. An autopsy in the days after her death found that she had uterine cancer that had begun to spread to her lungs.
