    • An illustration of the Sleipner natural gas field in the Norwegian sector of the North Sea which pumps natural gas (green) to the surface and then reinjects excess carbon dioxide (blue) back into porous rocks for burial as part of a plan to slow global warming. The field, the longest-running commercial greenhouse gas burial project in the world, has pumped 10 million tonnes of carbon dioxide into the subsea reservoir since it started in 1996, equivalent to about a fifth of Norway's annual carbon dioxide output.

Hydraulic cranes lift sugarcane from trucks for processing at the ethanol plant at the Simbhaoli Integrated Sugar Complex in Simbhaoli, Uttar Pradesh, India, in this, March 7, 2006 file photo. All across Asia, governments are searching the plantations and farm fields for crops that can help them offset their dependence on imported oil. Plans by China and India to greatly increase their domestic production of biofuels will put greater pressure on their water supplies and, in turn, undermine their ability to meet future food demands, according to a study released Thursday.

  • LONDON - APRIL 15: Environmental protestor's placards lampoon Transport Secretary Ruth Kelly and Prime Minister Gordon Brown outside the Department of Transport on April 15, 2008 in London. Phil Thornhill of Campaign against Climate Change and Andrew Boswell of Biofuelwatch, in a joint statement, said "The RTFO or 'Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation' will mandate 2.5percent biofuels at British fuel pumps from April 15th, and thereby hugely increase UK consumption of biofuels. The government is demonstrating a perverse obstinacy in ploughing ahead with this despite the overwhelming scientific evidence that far from helping in the struggle to control climate change, biofuels will accelerate climate change, and are a major cause of an emerging global food crisis that is creating starvation and food riots in several countries."
