The Biosphere and You

There are a few events, this week and next in D.C.

which are organized around the theme of what's called

"geo-engineering."  Now, that term has been coopted by various

crazy people,  -- anyway, basically as a way to take CO2 out of

the atmosphere by reducing the amount of sunlight that hits the

Earth -- [Lyn gags] and these kinds of things.  It does seem,

plausibly, a very real response, an immediate response to what

we're doing, but we sampled some of the discussion yesterday, and

it's clear that we've got an opportunity to really re-shape the

terms of discussion, on the question of the management of the

Biosphere for the long term.  And I think some of the things we

have coming out, just came out, the rail video, the follow-up now

on the Arctic developments, and then, a follow-up on that, which

will treat more directly, the Biospheric development as taken up

in the paper.  Instead-- build NAWAPA, the famous water from Alaska

project, and you will change the earth, the climate, and be ready

to colonize Mars.

       

Global Warming Action Cost Money

We all love the environment and the warm and oozy feeling we get thinking about helping Mother Earth, but it costs lots of money. Global Warming action is the most expensive of all, a fact that is being noticed in the discussions for the Copenhagen summit. Why the rush? These guys are trying to hash out an agreement by December, as if we are all going to be poisoned to death by CO2. Remember that you normally exhale and manufacture CO2 with every breath you take.


According to the NY Times--- The price tag for a new climate agreement will be a staggering $100 billion a year by 2020, many economists estimate; some put the cost at closer to $1 trillion. That money is needed to help fast-developing countries like India and Brazil convert to costly but cleaner technologies as they industrialize, as well as to assist the poorest countries in coping with the consequences of climate change, like droughts and rising seas.

Comment- the last sentence is total BS. How much have we helped Indonesia and other victims of the great Tsunami of a few years ago, totally unrelated to Climate Change? It's all a fraud.
