The two ?mystery? cases of anthrax that killed an elderly woman in Connecticut and another woman in the Bronx, may have been caused by spores blown on the wind from the Trenton, New Jersey postal center where anthrax-laced letters were processed in October.

NASA scientists have discovered that a huge release of methane from gas that had been frozen beneath the ocean floor heated the Earth by up to 13 degrees Fahrenheit 55 million years ago. They used a computer simulation to better understand the role of methane in sudden climate change in the far past. While today?s greenhouse gas studies focus on carbon dioxide, methane is 20 times more potent as a heat-trapping gas in the atmosphere.

In the last 200 years, atmospheric methane has been increasing, along with carbon dioxide. In fact, methane has more than doubled due to decomposing organic materials in wetlands and swamps and emissions from gas pipelines, coal mining, increases in irrigation and livestock flatulence.
