...many battles have been won, in fact, that it's harder to rile up the public than it once was, particularly when the problem seems so diffuse, the threat so distant. The result? Vast quantities of carbon dioxide from the burning of oil, coal, wood and natural gas have entered the atmosphere, where they will remain for well over 100 years. The 1997 Kyoto Protocol calls for developed nations to roll back emissions below 1990 levels. But even if that goal were achieved today, it's already too late to stop some degree of warming from occurring. That means...
...level increase to which the climate system is already committed. That's because big wheels in the atmosphere and ocean have started to turn. No matter what humans do, the oceans will continue to rise through the end of this century and well beyond--and the more carbon dioxide humans pump out, the higher the oceans are likely...
...your most faithful Saturday night buddies are H and C (hydrogen and carbon), maybe you should consider adding THC to your speed-dial. It’s time to put all your filtrations and recrystallizations aside, because the best use of the side-arm flask has come to Harvard: the OrgoBong. An 8-step guide to chemical fame...
...huge creature had to be remarkably light for its size, possibly only about 140 Ibs. Its wing bones were hollow tubes, and its body structure must have evolved for minimum weight. To emulate nature, MacCready's design team is using strong but lightweight parts made of carbon-fiber tubing and Kevlar cloth...
Once on Mars, crew members could extract the traces of water that still exist in the atmosphere; the water could even be broken into its constituent oxygen (for breathing) and hydrogen (for fuel). Given the planet's abundant supply of carbon dioxide, greenhouse gardening should be possible during subsequent, longer stays...
