Good lawrd! The hubris of it all! Quote from the grant:
The ultimate aim of this Ideas Lab between the National Science Foundation (NSF) in the US and the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) in the UK is to help meet the challenge of sustainably producing enough food for a growing population while reducing pollution and greenhouse gas emissions.
The grant is about greenhouse gasses resulting from the production of nitrogen in fertilizer and how unused nitrogen in run-off enters the environment. Warmer weather is GOOD for plants. CO2 is good for plants. Nitrogen is 78+% of the atmosphere. WTF is this really for? |
