... in one fell swoop. A portion of the plant's filtered output is now injected into the ground near the coast, to act as a pressurized barrier against saltwater from the ocean. Factor in Southern California's near chronic drought, the county's projected growth (another 300,000 to 500,000 thirsty people by 2020) and the rising cost of importing water from the Colorado River and from Northern California (the county pays $530 per acre-foot of...

... cholesterol and avoided exercise, research shows. Based on animal experiments, gerontologists believe that one key to a healthy, longer lifespan may be found in a few master genes that affect cellular responses to famine, drought and other survival stresses. The more active these genes are, the longer an organism seems to survive -- at least in the laboratory. Moreover, researchers are convinced that some genes may protect us against ...

... failure. When discussing GCC, we have to remember that what affects humans is the sub-systems and how they interact. Australia used to export lots of grain, but a long-term rather than short-term (the usual) drought has contributed to a major drop in productions, which leads to sharp increases in grain prices, which for some populations means starvation and death. If GCC were taking place over geological time scales, which has been ...
