Walking and cycling have long been considered the most environmentally sound methods of getting around. They still are but some environmentalists have argued that food production has become so fossil-fuel intensive that driving could be considered greener than walking (though the analysis has been debunked as flawed).

Plants flower faster than climate change models predict
Scientific models are failing to accurately predict the impact of global warming on plants, says a new report.
Researchers found in long-term studies that some are flowering up to eight times faster than models anticipate.

Greenland ice a benchmark for warming
Core data Greenland was about eight degrees warmer 130,000 years ago than it is today, an analysis of an almost three-kilometre-long ice core in Greenland has revealed.
The finding by an international team of 38 institutions from 14 nations provides an important benchmark for clima... | <urn:uuid:96cf8d51-9a89-4975-ae4f-fecfebf943e1> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://www.abc.net.au/science/articles/2013/01/24/3675740.htm | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368705559639/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516115919-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.972568 | 860 | 3.84375 | 4 | [
