There are no two ways around it: cow burps and farts produce methane, a greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming. Growing meat in a lab is one way reduce this problem, but it's hardly an immediate solution. How...

Food. We need it. It comes from seeds. But what if there's a nuclear war and all of our seeds get weirdly mutated? What if global warming kills off all of the world's cranberries? Most countries prepare for such...
