Just a little bit of context here about the global warming issue.. right now the planet is warming slightly- get used to it. Are we entirely responsible...? No. Are we helping the planet get warmer...? Absolutely. Will it get cooler during Sol cycle 24...? Yes.
Mankind has zero ability to manage our planet because we can't concieve the complexitues of the entire system. We tend to ruin natural process in the pursuit of profits and even in our zeal to restore natural processes because we are in our adolescence of understanding our world.
That being said, the current system of weather and mild relatively stable climate we have enjoyed is only 12000+ years old. Yup tha's right. We have been a much colder planet over the last 300,000 years and the two major meltdowns of the ice caps 12K years ago changed the ocean's currents enough to create this weather change. The result was a longer growing season and a higher snow line increasing arable land. This created an upward spiral of agriculture and increased population until we now number 7 billion humans.
Cold weather equals smaller growth, warm weather equals increased growth. The problems of our world are directly attributable to this climate change 12K years ago as humans are a product of their biome. What's the answer...?
Clean fuels would revolutionize our planet and hydrogen is the answer. It wouldn't take care of all the world's ills but solving the energy puzzle would certainly help. Hydrogen is cheap, easy to make but extremely volotile. The energy companies ( who are in business to supply you with energy) are telling the government that releasing hydrogen fuels among the populace is dangerous, a national mistake to implement because it would put the public at risk. But the same was said about aternating current. DC power was considered safer but limited, while AC power was better but far too dangerous for the public.
Its a matter of technology and that tech exists for safe hydrogen fuel storage. Hydrogen fueled busses already exist (How's that for protecting the public..?) and implementaion across the country would be expensive at first but is vital if we are to wean ourselves off petroleum energy sources. Oil, essentially our solar reserves, contains the most useful organic compounds on the planet and would be better served in a different capacity than running our car to the store.
Right now a program is underway for hydrogen fuel cell transport. It will take a decade to implement but on a small scale only for public transportation. If we are truly spending a billion per day for 'global warming' I believe it would be better spent on expanding this energy model across the globe ASAP rather than used for research on the present weather change or used by the IPCC to further its mandate of fear.
That's my rant for now....
