\nSar\u00e0 una conseguenza di Laudato si’? Nature<\/em> apre con un editoriale<\/a> che fiancheggia l’appello del Papa, occupandosi di adattamento dell’agricoltura ai cambiamenti climatici:<\/p>\n

Ignore the climate sceptics who set up a straw man of the need for \u2018settled science\u2019 and then burn it to the ground. (…)\u00a0 \u00a0The future of global agriculture is one of the most urgent issues in a warming world. Farmers must prepare for, and adapt to, a changed climate that is likely to feature more erratic rainfall, temperature extremes, drought, soil erosion, invasive weeds and durable pests. Science, error bars included, has much to offer these efforts. But if adaptation is to work, climate scientists, agricultural researchers, farmers and government officials must work closely together. <\/em><\/p>\n

Le soluzioni – alcune gi\u00e0 adottate – sono altrettanto varie delle pratiche contadine, ma<\/p>\n

Models of different scenarios concerning crops, climate and economics can help, but only up to a point. Agriculture is an early adopter when it comes to using science to inform and guide adaptation. However, this use of science does not rely only on the scale of models and the skills of modellers: trust, intuition and cultural empathy are just as important.<\/em><\/p>\n

Fra i programmi pilota, il Modelling European Agriculture with Climate Change for Food Security (MACSUR<\/a><\/strong>), e per i paesi poveri l’Agricultural Model Intercomparison and Improvement Project (AgMIP<\/a><\/strong>) raggiunto da poco dalla Global Alliance for Climate Smart Agriculture della FAO.<\/p>\n

A proposito di fiducia, intuito ed empatia culturale,\u00a0Quirin Schiermeier<\/a> ha sentito ricercatori e contadini,<\/p>\n

Martin Sch\u00f6nhart, an agro-economist at the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences in Vienna, presented preliminary forecasts for average agricultural yields in 2040. Some crops and fruit benefited from the amount of warming expected. But the yields of other crops \u2014 including maize \u2014 decreased by up to 20% because changes in precipitation and extreme weather events wiped out the benefits brought by warmer temperatures.<\/em>
\nHearing such negative projections, some farmers shook their heads in disbelief. \u201cI would rather trust my own experience than any such forecast,\u201d said Untersmayr.<\/em><\/p>\n

In tema, Emily Sohn<\/a> <\/strong>segnala un modo per cuocere il riso ed eliminarne gran parte dell’arsenico, pubblicato su PloS One<\/em>:<\/p>\n

Six randomly chosen wholegrain and polished rice samples were cooked from the packet in a domestic environment, at quantities required to feed a large family, using an off-the-shelf coffee percolator with no adaptations. The coffee percolator chosen for these experiments was a catering model that is used to fill vacuum flasks, a Bravilor Bonamat<\/a><\/strong>. <\/em>(link aggiunto)<\/p>\n

La tecnica potrebbe eliminare anche alcune vitamine, scrivono i ricercatori, da reintegrare con il condimento. (Ho cercato novit\u00e0 sugli ibridi che resistono ai picchi di temperatura notturna<\/a><\/strong>, ancora niente.)<\/p>\n

Fra le notizie, Plutone, <\/a>of course; il caso della ragazza francese<\/a> nata con l’HIV, curata con antiretrovirali per 6 anni, e da allora senza traccia rilevabile del virus, presentato alla riunione dell’International AIDS Society; il miliardario Yuri Milner <\/a>che ha donato $100 milioni a SETI per captare le comunicazioni da civilt\u00e0 extraterrestri, confermando cos\u00ec che SETI si salva sempre in corner:<\/p>\n

\u201cIn recent years, the total worldwide support for SETI was about half a million dollars, mostly in the United States, and all from private gifts,\u201d says Frank Drake<\/a><\/strong>, one of the pioneers of modern SETI, who is also on the Breakthrough Listen team. \u201cNow we\u2019re getting $100 million, so that\u2019s real progress.\u201d <\/em>(link aggiunto)<\/p>\n
