Trees not always best answer in global warming fight
A Duke University study challenges the idea that planting trees and shrubs always mitigates climate change. In six western grassland pairs, trees in wet areas reduced soil carbon, while drier sites saw increased soil storage. Grasslands may store more above ground but less overall than previously thought, suggesting native grasslands outperform woody growth in carbon balance.

Six women challenge adoption law in Florida
Six women plan to appeal a Palm Beach County ruling and seek abolition of a law requiring mothers who cannot identify a biological father to publish notices in local papers. The notices disclose when and where the child was conceived, a practice critics call a humiliating scarlet letter. Backers say the rule protects final adoptions, while plaintiffs cite chilling effects and lack of similar laws elsewhere.
