Research labs producing too much CO2

United Press International: A Canadian scientist says university research laboratories are producing too much carbon dioxide, thereby contributing to global warming. University of Montreal Professor of biochemistry Herve Philippe says he's a committed environmentalist. But he discovered his own research produces 44 tons of CO2 annually. The average citizen produces 20 tons. "I did my Ph.D. on nucleotide sequencing in the hope of advancing our knowledge of biodiversity, but I never thought the ... Read »
