Snowmen with bug eyes

http://dx.doi.org/10.1126/science.1149757 [Published: 29-Feb-08 | Permalink | Category: Science seen]
Air-borne microbes turn out to be at the cores and starting points of every snow particle. Although this is all below the tropopause, it reminds me of my Extended Atmo-biosphere Theory. It's interesting to speculate (unscientifically) on how important to the weather microbes might be. Bugs dig caves; could they drive the climate?
