- Jatropha Curcas
-
Jatropha Curcas is a bio-fuel crop that is being widely touted as a
sustainable and more efficient alternative to first generation feed stocks, such
as corn and palm oil.
Firms seeking to commercialise the jatropha-based biofuels, argue that the
plant delivers high yields of oil and can be grown in marginal areas with low
levels of water, limiting the extent to which cultivation would eat into
existing agricultural land and water resources.

Climate Science is the study of the behaviour of the climate using scientific techniques to discover provable processes and actions within the climate and hence be able to:
- predict with a degree of accuracy future changes in the climate,
- advise on how to interact with the climate
Climate Science, although primarily the study of the
environment also depends a lot on mathematic and statistical processes to understand the climate - as we can only observe the climate using very sparse measurements.
