...genetic diversity of plants, focusing on select, high-producing crop varieties. Global warming will also create demand for a stockpile of seeds that may not be suited to today's growing conditions but could be just right for tomorrow's. "We'll need crop varieties for hotter, dryer, wetter and colder climates," says Fowler. Sometime in the future, the vault of last resort could end up more like...
...some of whom hooted derisively at the end of Once You're Born. A movie gets to you or it doesn't, makes you cry or leaves you cold. We'll just say that, for maybe half of this film, one of us (the one with the beard) was wetter than Sandro on that night in the Mediterranean. And the other (prettier) one followed the boy's journey from the comfort of childhood into a mature awareness of human contradictions and ambiguities...
Natural ecosystems are the ancestral sources of species that we now manage for crop production. These evolved under climate regimes that are now being supplanted by new conditions, mostly warmer, some wetter, and some drier, and some rapidly alternating between wetter and drier. In many areas the unusually warm conditions of the last few years are bumping up against upper temperature limits for reproductive success and yield at harvest for some of our most important grain crops...
...other famous Hamlets but an adolescent, anorectic Michael Crawford. He has Crawford?s thin, whiny voice, too, ill suited to poetic verse. He begins his big monologue, I swear, by declaring, ?Tuh be or not tuh be.? (It?s ?to,? mate. Rhymes with screw and you.) The performance gets wetter: tears on his cheek, snot peeking out of his nostrils, spume on his lips whenever he pronounces a word beginning with ?p? - and there are lots of them in the soliloquy. Whishaw continues in his mewling way for the extent of the production?s three hours and 40 minutes...
That question gnaws at Douglas Kenney, a professor of natural resources law at the University of Colorado in Boulder. As he sees it, "Everyone's pretty clear that the earth's getting warmer, but it's unclear just what that means. It might mean a wetter future or a dryer future. It might even mean a wetter future with no net gain." How is that possible? The answer lies in the impact rising temperatures are likely to have on the vast reservoirs of water locked up in the mountains in the form of snow...
