Purdue wins $5M global warming crop-research grant | Indianapolis Business Journal | IBJ.com
Purdue University scientists have won a $5 million federal grant to help corn and soybean farmers adapt to the various climate change scenarios global warming is forecast to bring in the coming decades.
The five-year project funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture will enlist researchers at the Purdue Climate Change Research Center.
Associate professor of forestry and natural resources Linda Prokopy says the team will initially focus on developing models to predict how different climate scenarios would affect corn and soybean growth and profits in 12 states stretching from the Dakotas to Ohio.

Everyday new research papers are out and new stories are told about "Global Warming". I realize that while talking about global warming we tend to avoid discussing few major causes of Global Warming, I happened to watch this documentary "Meat The Truth" in online film festival "Green Unplugged" this documentary made me aware of few other things about global Warming which I never thought would be contributing so much towards it
I would suggest everyone to watch this documentary.
