    Didn't find a thread on this...

    http://www.independent.ie/business/irish/wave-goodbye-to-global-warming-gm-and-pesticides-29525621.html
    A GROUNDBREAKING new Irish technology which could be the greatest breakthrough in agriculture since the plough is set to change the face of modern farming forever.

    The technology – radio wave energised water – massively increases the output of vegetables and fruits by up to 30 per cent.

    Well, that's the planet saved due to this genius of the Irish scientific community.

    Indo completely duped by pseudoscience

    Nice one, I'm gonna go cut some turf now I think.

    The technology makes GM obsolete and also addresses the whole global warming fear that there is too much carbon dioxide in the air, by simply converting excess CO2 into edible plant mass.

    What?

    What?

    You heard by simply converting excess CO2 into edible plant mass

    Thats great news, thank God for science.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,299 ✭✭✭✭MadsL


    Extensively tested in Warrenstown Agricultural College, the technology is being hailed as a modern day miracle.


    Hurrah!

    Can we do a Monsanto/Catholic Church on it and charge poor farmers millions for our special holy water?

    Natural volcanic activity for millennia and not man-made.

    Kew Gardens have accepted this new technology.
    Great to see that Irish people developed it.

    Yeah, fantastic isn't it.

    Note how they are selling the technology at the watering can level and not Hyper-agricultural investor Pension Fund level. :D

    Thank you so much, i have a tear coming from my eye. My first Nobel prize ever.

    I would rather some cash funding for my work. As the paid-off global warming scientist would say.

    How much will this Magic water cost per gallon ?.

    Magic beans i say.


    If he can hear the grass growing the next day, then it must be magic mushrooms he was on, not magic water.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,824 ✭✭✭Qualitymark


    Is this the magical discovery that makes water wetter? That's the oceans saved too.

    It's a load of rubbish folks. There's been no independent research done into the product and no peer review of the product exists. If it was so spectacular, there would be tons of research actually backing up their claims. When they don't engage with the scientific community on such a significant leap in technology,it is indicative of bull****ters. I also found this blog entry about the article. :D

    Well at least you were here to inform us. Otherwise we'd believe it.

    It did sound a bit too good to be true....

    Oops, should have read the responses. I'll be less serious now. :D Bit disappointed that the solution wasn't a delorean and flux capacitor.
