But it stays within bounds, and that's an unusual system,

We decided to pray for something we could do to make their life easier,

My colleagues and I want to start people thinking about the phytoplankton in the ocean and the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere as an evolutionary problem in the context of the organisms that are doing the cycling. We think that's a big factor in climate regulation,

They don't pile up too much oxygen, carbon dioxide, nitrate or phosphate. Those are kept under some kind of biological control. That's how the past has been. The big issue is, will the future work that way?

He just lit up like you wouldn't believe,

It is very important to know what has stabilized Earth's heat, carbon dioxide and water budgets,

It's a valuable new piece of information. Understanding why carbon dioxide varied in the last glacial maximum is the most important question facing us. If we can't explain the recent past 18,000 to 20,000 years ago, then we can't be confident of our ability to predict the future.
