...numbers, Pachauri is absolutely right. In a 2006 report, the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) concluded that worldwide livestock farming generates 18% of the planet's greenhouse gas emissions - by comparison, all the world's cars, trains, planes and boats account for a combined 13% of greenhouse gas emissions. Much of livestock's contribution to global warming come from deforestation, as the growing demand for meat results in trees being cut down to make space for pasture or farmland to grow animal feed. Livestock takes up a lot of space - nearly one-third of the earth's entire landmass...
...earth and planetary sciences and the director for the Center for the Environment. The prospective wind turbine installations are part of a larger campus focus on sustainability and carbon emissions. In an announcement made earlier this summer, University President Drew G. Faust committed Harvard to reducing its greenhouse gas emissions 30 percent below 2006 levels by 2016. “The president has established a very aggressive goal for the University to reduce greenhouse gases,” Gray said, “and renewables may have a significant role.” While small-scale wind turbines...

...residents each get a yearly check for about $2,000 from oil revenues, plus an additional $1,200 pushed through by Palin last year to take advantage of rising oil prices. Any sympathy the governor of Alaska expresses for folks in the lower 48 who are suffering from high gas prices or can't afford to heat their homes is strictly crocodile tears...
