Harvard also agreed to a cap on its future carbon emissions when it inked a deal last September with Massachusetts to keep the carbon emissions from its Allston campus to 30 percent of the national standard...
...thinking and innovation by the world’s political and academic leaders, not protestations couched in dollars and cents. The majority of greenhouse gas emissions come from the world’s wealthiest nations. According to The New York Times, the average American citizen produces 20 tons of carbon dioxide each year, compared to only 3.8 tons in China and 1.2 tons in India. Although all countries must deal with the impacts of climate change, most of the burden will be borne by the world’s poorest nations. This is due partly to their geographic locations?...
...found the Ark? Yes and no, he concluded. A splinter has carbon-dated the drum to 1350 AD - ancient for an African wood artifact, but 2,500 years after Moses.

...them. But even Fargione doesn't argue that we should ditch biofuels altogether. Biofuels using waste matter - like wood chips, or the leftover sections of corn stalks - or from perennial plants like switchgrass, effectively amount to free fuel, because they don't require clearing additional land. "There's no carbon debt," notes Fargione. Unfortunately, the technology for yielding fuel from those sources - like cellulosic biofuels - is still in its infancy, though it is improving fast. In the end, the right kind of biofuel won't be a silver bullet, but just one more tool in the growing arsenal against climate...
