The question is what to do about global warming…..

The answer is innovation……

Instead of doom mongering and insisting that everyone stops driving or flying perhaps we should look to the innovative power of science based solutions.  There are many interesting proposals but they do not seem to get much media coverage.  One is to put reflector panels over large areas of desert to reflect the suns beams.  Another is to increase cloud cover in order to reflect sunlight. 

There was a detailed article in last month’s magazine from the Institute of Engineering Technology.  Some of the ideas sound wacky - but so did radio before it became established.  What we need now is funding to test some prototypes.  But it seems that governments are more interested in talking about the dangers of climate change than spending money or small scale experiments that could lead to solutions.
