...concrete but similar in spirit, generally ranging from “get them drunk” to “get them laid.” This surprises no one: Harvardians are always eager to establish their partying bona fides, and ever-hopeful that next year’s crop of freshmen will be both hotter and less awkward than those that came before...
...Every knowledgeable agriculturist knows that there is a plant with very high methanol content that grows well on land already too desalinated to grow food, which actually rejuvenates its host soil a little with every crop: hemp. Planting the 30% of our planet's arable land that is already too desalinated to grow food with hemp for the next two decades would give us plenty of biofuel without interrupting vital food production. Robert James-Herbert, sydney...
...depth of character that films can’t touch and that rival even the best novels. Yes, there’s lots of crap on TV, no question. But crap shouldn’t prevent you from seeing the good in television, especially as more great shows crop up every day. Watching TV shouldn’t be something to be ashamed of; it should be something to appreciate—a medium unique from any other. So don’t be afraid to say you do watch television, or that it’s made you understand...
...Science magazine article on which TIME relies has been thoroughly rebutted by leading scientists at the Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory. TIME owes its readers the totality of facts to avoid misinformation. For many decades, the U.S. has worked with farmers and the scientific community to increase crop yields, reduce the intensity of pesticide and fertilizer use, improve water productivity and promote conservation tillage that reduces erosion and sequesters carbon. Last year alone our agencies invested more than $1 billion in research, development and demonstration of next-generation-biofuels production from nonfood feedstocks, which remains the core...
Third, we urgently need to weatherproof the world's crops as soon and as effectively as possible. For a poor farmer, sometimes something as simple as a farm pond--which collects rainwater to be used for emergency irrigation in a dry spell--can make the difference between a bountiful crop and a famine. The world has already committed to establishing a Climate Adaptation Fund to help poor regions climate-proof vital economic activities such as food production and health care but has not yet acted upon the promise...
