I wonder if plants recognize recorded voices? if not, why not deploy some speakers all over the garden and put up so pleasant music or a woman reading an audiobook... loop it and there you have it... or do they already do so?

This article is missing the fact that the quality of air is going to decline no matter what we do because the process is delayed-the effects of petroleum fuels will be ongoing even if we stop using them today. What the switch to biodiesel would do is lessen the harmful effects that we will see in 2020.

Does anyone know that ozone is a huge threat for human health as well? In big altitudes, it has a positive effect, because it acts like a protective screen against ultraviolet radiation. But in large cities, the smog that results from polluting is transformed into ozone, which is dangerous for the lungs. Once inhaled, it can lead to a lot of respiratory diseases, and it can also worsen the symptoms and sensibility of asthmatics to certain allergens. That's why it is advicing to avoid long walks at noon hours in summer, exactly when ozone concentration is maximal. But, even when toxic, this gase is vital for people on Earth, that's why it is very important to preserve it...

o discuss this topic, I would like to first mention that I am a Theist of the Christian persuasion in the interest of transparency. That said, I would like to see some facets of my faith taught in school rooms, though not necessarily the science room. (I am an American and I can only suppose that British schools use separate rooms for different studies as we do here and will operate under this assumption unless otherwise corrected.) It seems to me that a large part of this debate stems from the fact that we don't really make a worthwhile attempt to understand one another in a cross cultural manner.

An Atheist or people of secular thought should make attempts to understand at least the major religious faiths in their community just as much as a hard lined fundamentalist should make an attempt to understand secular thought. We have to live next to each other and the only way I can see us being good, conscientious neighbors is to actually know something about the person across the hall.

I will clarify that I do not with to see even my own faith taught as science and fully agree that creationism is not a scientific theory. (Though I would say I subscribe to something of a hybrid of creationism and scientific theory.) I also do not think that these teachings of faith based information should be done in an evangelical sense. That is, not as a means to convert the masses, rather to act as an informational cultural liaison of sorts.
