Although not yet a market force, cellulosic biofuels are routinely factored into future climate mitigation scenarios because of their potential to both displace petroleum use and mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. Their paper is published in the journal Science. With biofuels, the stakes are high. —Phil Robertson.

Due to its location some 700 miles from the South Pole and near the center of the WAIS, conditions at Byrd Station are an important indicator of climate change throughout the region. In the past, researchers haven’t been able to make much use of the Byrd Station measurements because of incomplete temperature observations. mm per year.
