There was just one flaw in the calculation: the studies all credited fuel crops for sequestering carbon, but no one checked whether the crops would ultimately replace vegetation and soils that sucked up even more carbon. It was as if the science world assumed biofuels would be grown in parking lots. The deforestation of Indonesia has shown that's not the case. It turns out that the carbon lost when wilderness is razed overwhelms the gains from cleaner-burning fuels. A study by University of Minnesota ecologist David Tilman concluded that it will take more than 400 years of biodiesel...
...guitar isn’t distorted enough to give this simple, swinging song a real feel. Plus the chant kind of sounds like a shitty Six Flags jingle. The Born Ruffians might still be a few years away from making a great full-length album. The biggest flaw of “Red, Yellow & Blue” is that it lacks a single, continuous thread to string its diverse tracks together. And while this precludes its greatness, the promise and creativity demonstrated by these Canadians is just enough to keep the album afloat...
...Unfortunately, science moves in bursts too slow for press releases. An initial report could have a flaw in methods or irreproducible results revealed upon further review. This is why scare stories and fad stories typically follow a certain pattern: an initial report, over-extrapolation, panic, sustained panic, suggestions based on panic, a decrease in panic, a report that the panic was only panic, rinse, and repeat...
...examine the issue of urban sprawl more generally. The end of the film loses its momentum as Dunn neglects her human subjects in favor of familiar generalizations about environmental conservation. The soundtrack switches from the bluesy sounds of Patty Griffin and Jeff Beck to generically-epic instrumentals.A more serious flaw is Dunn’s failure to fully explore the larger implications of Barton Springs’ story. Not all of those who transplanted to Austin are as unsympathetic as the couple she shows complaining about the lack of a McDonalds or Wal-Mart nearby. The film doesn?...
...Offensive board by the Crimson leads to an Unger basket. On the other end, Penn picks up two consecutive offensive boards, can't seem to put it in the hoop though and they call a timeout. Offensive boards are killing both teams right now. First one to correct this flaw will get the early advantage. [Harvard 18, Penn...
