Everyone's hoping for a technological breakthrough to curb emissions
and slow global warming. Could it come in a tikka masala sauce?

at The Awl has high hopes: he's noticed an odd story in British paper
The Independent. "Curry spices," writes The Independent's Environment
Editor, Michael McCarthy,
could hold the key to reducing the enormous greenhouse gas emissions
given off by grazing animals such as sheep, cows and goats."
