Grist: One of the most disturbing details included in the recently leaked IPCC report is that climate change could begin reducing farm yields worldwide by up to 2 percent a decade. Meanwhile, demand for crops is increasing 12 percent per decade. You dont have to be a math whiz to see how that (doesn`t) add up.

Grist: The New York Times has an article out today about how moose are drying in droves, and oh man, it sounds really terrible to be a moose right now. First of all, many of your friends are probably dead. One population in Minnesota, for instance, has shrunk over the past two decades from 4,000 moose to fewer than 100.
