Wave goodbye to global warming, GM and pesticides

Just read of this for the first time. Seems a positive note worth sharing:

Wave goodbye to global warming, GM and pesticides

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.

Not only are the plants much bigger but they are largely disease-resistant, meaning huge savings in expensive fertilisers and harmful pesticides.

Extensively tested in Ireland and several other countries, the inexpensive water treatment technology is now being rolled out across the world. 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.

Developed by Professor Austin Darragh and Dr JJ Leahy of Limerick University's Department of Chemistry and Environmental Science, the hardy ..........

1. And for their next magical trick...

2. Cool! Perpetual motion agriculture!

How could it possibly be nonsensical pseudoscience?

3. Find this anywhere else?

It's hard for me to take a story seriously with lines like this:

"Intriguingly, chickens and sheep fed the energised water turned into giants. . . but that's another story!"

4. This smells like another con job.

"radio wave energised water"? You can make your own by putting a container of water in the microwave and setting up your own experiment. This sounds like another remake of the miracle of homeopathy

5. Be careful with this

If your wurzel mangel starts picking up Rush Limbaugh, the cows won't get any sleep.

6. Hmmm..University of Limerick is it?

“This science is based on malarkey

With less sense than a dog who is barky

The publicist I fear

Has had too much beer

And the truth here is less than a quark (y)’”

7. This sounds like a Kevin Trudeau infomercial

Whenever you hear fantastic language with dubious sounding science, oh please come on!

8. I'll withhold my enthusiasm for now. They do say that it pulls nitrogen from the air and

puts it into the water. Whether or not this actually occurs, and whether or not this nitrogen is in a form that plants can actually use remains to be seen.

I'm just a tad skeptical.
