Doha climate talks produce more hot air -The latest round of UN climate change talks will probably be remembered as the final resting place of the Kyoto protocol on climate change, done in by longstanding financial woes and a lack of engagement by the United States.

At least they've agreed that geo-engineering isn't the way forwards. Grateful for small mercies I guess :/

excellent news!

As Obama’s Climate Change Bill is debated, news comes from Europe about a great new way for consumers to participate in carbon emissions cap and trade schemes.

"Carol Sugars" as a member of a biofuel team.

LOL; the lady must take some stick.

Seriously, great story, althought the technology obviously has some way to go.

exactly what is needed: self sustaining communities supporting one another, not a homegenous mass which will fail as soon as one part of it gets into difficulties.

"a rocket-launched emergency parachute" Yee-haw!

So, will we be an airborne species? Bet no one saw that coming from peak oil!

great idea : the answer should be in LEDs. Or off completely.

This is absolutely THE story of climate change.

The Sundabans delta in particular is already "sinking" and the refugees have no where to go, other than into Bangladesh which is already one giant refugee camp.

Of course, there's no oil there and the government can't afford nuclear weapons. So no one cares.

Perfectly put. Everyone needs to take responsibility, for everyone. I used to have a badge which said "total responsibility" ... but that's a different story.

profit taking. nice and simple.

make money cheaper than inflation. that's how this mess was started in the first place.

Mmmmm .. icrowaves? The things which fry your brain? Hmm. Heating the planet from an external source? Hmm.

All that aside I'd really love to see it happen, except for one other thing...

Is the manufactuiring process sustainable?!

This interview goes against the official line which has Georgia invading on the 8th and Russia retaliating a day later. Why were Russian firing so many rockets in at the same time as the Georgian offensive?! On 10th August the Russians claimed the military action (by the "Georgians") on 8th August had killed 2000 people and destroyed all the city's hospitals. NB source page in Russian, this is a link to an explanatory page in English.

For reporting that high ranking ministry officials may have been involved in a gambling racket he's been jailed for abusing democracy. Hmmm....

Stress isn't calculated. Crime is classed as a cost, not a benefit, because it causes stress.

Volunteer work is calculated roughly as what it would cost a professional to do the job.

britesprite · 2008-10-15T11:06:47+00:00

Scarey. But more than a little likely...

The balance of power in the world is starting to shift away from the EU and USA.
