Saline Agriculture As the Future of Food
Damien1972 writes "To confront rising salinization, authors writing in the journal Science recommend increased spending on saline agriculture, which proposes growing salt-water crops to feed the world. Jelte Rozema and Timothy Flowers believe that salt-loving plants known as halophytes could become important crops, especially in areas where the salt content of the water is about half that of ocean water."

Read some Roy Spencer, he knows his stuff. The way I see science is there is fact and theory, and no one should be making a policy decision over a theory. The warming we are seeing now (I suspect) is due to the Earth's position relative to the Sun and and increase in solar activity (sun spots, flares, etc.) And there really isn't as much CO2 in the air as you think:

Furthermore, if you do a search on youtube (cant get there from work or I would give you a link) you can find a special from MSNBC from '05 or '03 (I think) that shows a close-up of Gore's infamous hockey stick, that shows a rise in CO2 is result of a rise in temperature, not a cause of it.

Oh, yeah, tons of protein-- but not the same protein. You can get dozens of proteins and divide them into about 15 amino acids, and then realize you need 23 and you're missing 8 types. Also certain macronutrients are harder to get from non-meat sources.
Tons of books explain why vegetarian diets are the way to go. I know several people who can't, they can't maintain weight. I know one girl that got severely sick and had serious skin problems, tried the beans-and-nuts thing, then became pescapalian (eats fish) and it all went away. Do you really think this is healthy?
