How do scientist reconstruct past climate conditions on Earth? One way of doing this is by culturing living planktonic Foraminifera and analyzing their shell composition under present day conditions in the world Oceans. For over 30 years scientist are researching these tiny planktonic creatures to unlock living conditions that lies hidden within their shells. With these insights it's possible to create a suit of tools to analyze the same Foraminifera shells recovered from past times and use them to reconstruct climate and Ocean conditions over million of years.
WTG, this another example of quantifiable data that if properly used (and not redacted, hidden, etc...) can help all of humanity. Thank you. Lets hope that you will never let any of the world's governments prevent you from disclosing facts to the public as is typical with many agencies, ie. USGS, NASA, EPA, NDAA, NRC, and so many others. Its as if they forget that they should be helping community to improve, not lying to it to protect some Corper's bottom line.
