ARTICLE REVIEWS
BBC article on IPCC report is mostly accurate, but could use some clarification
in BBC, by Matt McGrath

The article also provides statements without context, despite this being essential for their interpretation.”

“A good summary of BIOACID’s key results. The information provided here is based on peer-reviewed scientific articles… I think these complex (and so far poorly understood) food web interactions deserve attention by both the public and the scientific community.”
