How the Government Stockpiled a Billion Pounds of Cheese
Deep underground, somewhere near Springfield Missouri, the U.S. government operates a little-known subterranean facility.

Here’s the deal – mankind is burning fossil fuels at such a rate that atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO²) is increasing to unprecedented levels (in historic times, that is).
