Nature World: A massive quantity of surplus straw from crops such as wheat, barley, oats and oilseed rape is produced each year with little to use it for. Now, researchers suggest that this straw can be converted into second-generation biofuel, making harvests from golden fields even more useful. A study published in Bioresource Technology, details how researchers at the Biorefinery Centre on the Norwich Research Park found that energy sources in tough straw can be exposed using a sort of "pressure cooking"...

Grist: If the average temperature of a large body of water increases, thats an enormous amount of heat content, says Andrew Rosenberg, one of the convening lead authors of the National Climate Assessments Oceans chapter. Seas are becoming warmer and more acidic as they absorb atmospheric heat and CO2, which broadly affects ocean circulation, chemistry, ecosystems, and marine life; ocean acidification is already starting to dissolve the shells of small marine organisms. Rising sea surface temperatures...
