# Mediterranean seeing new species. ROME(AP) The Mediterranean is on its way
to being a tropical aquarium, with 110 newcomer species from the tropics
threatening to crowd out native species less suited to the ever-warmer and
more polluted water, experts warned. Global warming has raised the temper-
ature of the sea by about 1 degree since 1989, a boon for migrant species.

: As Earth warms, where will newcomer species come from? Which planet will
supply the lifeforms that'll supplant us? What planet should we move to??

WHAT'S NEW Robert L. Park Friday, 6 Aug 99 Washington, DC
# COLD FUSION: RESULTS OF "PATTERSON CELL" TEST ARE WITHHELD. Two years ago,
Norm Olson told reporter Michael Guillen on ABC Good Morning America that
he was taking a "Patterson cell" back to Battelle Pacific Northwest Labor-
atories to see if it could neutralize radioactive waste (WN 13 Jun 97).
He said he was optimistic. Alas, nothing more was heard of the test. Last
week, Science magazine reported on a controversial proposal to DOE for
neutralizing radioactivity. Since the proposal's author was also involved
in the Patterson cell, WN suggested that someone should check with Norm
(WN 30 Jul 99). We have since learned that the results of the PNL tests
are proprietary and have never been disclosed. So WN asked: "Does PNL plan
to pursue this remarkable technology?" The answer was an amused "No!"
: What's your favorite method of neutralizing radiation? Do you use force
fields, transporter beams, energy shields, wormholes, black holes, magick?
# SHROUDED: "SCIENCE" STORY OF THE WEEK? Carbon dating the Shroud of Turin
in 1988 showed it to be a 14th century forgery. But wait! Pollen grains
found on the shroud are native to the Gaza Strip. Does this reopen the
debate? "The theoretical physicist part of me is skeptical - carbon dating
is pretty firm evidence," said Michael Guillen on ABC's GMA. "But my
religious beliefs transcend any notion of scientific proof," he added.
: Do your religious beliefs transcend any notion of scientific proof? Do you
believe whatever the hell you want to believe, despite contrary evidence??
