Increased production of synthetic fuels from coal, a major component of President Carter's energy program, will lead to a build-up of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, Harvard professors said yesterday...
...release of carbon dioxide from the burning of coal would probably cause the temperature of the atmosphere to rise, he said. However, he added that, "There are so many factors involved and no one knows how the long range cycle of warming and cooling will work...
...effects of a higher carbon dioxide level will not be known for ten to 20 years, Heinrich Holland, professor of Geology, said yesterday...
...instance, they are raising quantities of plump tomatoes, cucumbers and beans for 10? per Ib. The trick is to grow them under an inflatable plastic dome, which captures the air's available moisture instead of allowing it to evaporate under the searing sun. Also, J. Paul Austin explains, carbon dioxide is pumped in from diesel exhausts, and the gas promotes plant growth...
...DIFFERENT. Mariner 10 went to Mercury and found a heavily cratered, dessicated world; and to Venus, sending thousands of views of the carbon dioxide clouds that shroud the planet. Mars, thought by some to be as "boring" as the moon, turns out to be a world with as many oddities and mysteries--with the probable exception of life--as earth. (Where else can you jump off a four-mile cliff or find a volcano that would stretch from Harvard Yard to Toronto?) The planet, as Viking I showed us, looks like a nice place to go for a walk...
