EcoGEOS > Can a Synthetic Tree Beat the Real Thing? | Ethical Investments

[Ethical Investments] ability to capture CO2 without the aid of sunlight means they could be used in dark, enclosed places where most trees couldn’t survive.  They could be used to retrofit coal plants or placed in other areas that are subject to high CO2 emissions to curb the amount reaching the atmosphere.

[Webdiary - Founded and Inspired by Margo Kingston - Webdiary - Independent, Ethical, Accountable and Transparent] At last, a government has a go at peak oil!! | Webdiary - Founded ...: Stuart writes: "The key to all this will be de-centralised energy and transport systems, as well as re-localised food and employment. We've spent the last 50 years or so building centralised energy systems and moving ever further away from our work and food sources (not to mention replacing some of our best agricultural land with energy guzzling McMansions) based on the assumption of cheap fuel.

[Comments for RealClimate] RealClimate: So really, the conclusions are not an measure of cost, they’re a measure of willingness to pay, under the assumption that you treat climate the way we treat other things, that is with neither foresight (weight to our grandchildren = 5% of weight to us) nor fairness (weight to China = 5% of weight to USA), with some rosy economic equilibrium assumptions thrown in for good measure. Economists should instead make their models available for experimentation, so people can see undiscounted costs and make their own ethical choices about them.

[Climate Progress] Climate Progress » Blog Archive » CEO of Progress Energy ...: Here’s the right way: Establish a cap-and-trade program, administered through state regulatory commissions, that allocates allowances to utilities based on historical emissions, and reduces allowances over time. This is a proven method that drives significant emission reductions and technological innovation, and ensures consumers get the benefit of all reductions and allowances.

[Green Inc.] Energy Thinkers Ponder the Future - Green Inc. Blog - NYTimes.com: The most immediate priorities should include: 1) Enactment of an economic stimulus package that includes clean energy measures that will increase jobs, while decreasing energy use and bills. This would include funds for weatherization of schools and low-income homes, pending transit projects and other similar efficiency programs.

[TreeHugger] Harvest Green: Vertical Farm by Romses Architects wins Competition ...: The cross sections of available rainwater, sunlight, and grazing area are too small to support any sort of farming even close to what current intensive agriculture allows. To support even a very small population you would need huge amounts of land devoted solely to these things, which are much more expensive to produce (both ecologically and financially) than remote farmland.

[Worldchanging: Bright Green] Worldchanging: Bright Green: What if Climate Change is Not an ...: David Holmgren pointed to an Australian study - sorry I cant locate the exact reference, but it's in his book (Permaculture, 2002) - suggesting that apart from the obvious benefits restoring soil fertility globally could create a massive carbon sink - if I recall correctly he wrote this would be the equivalent of half the world's transport emissions? There is also all the stuff about biochar, reforesting the world & etc.

[Cricketdiane's Weblog] Small business - employ yourself, create your own business ...: There can be incentives, encouragement and payments made to anyone that retrofits their existing vehicle to run on vegetable oil, or be retrofitted into a total electric configuration. Some states are using penalties, imposing fines and discouraging these changes when the exact opposite should be occurring given the current and continuing circumstances in the energy sectors.

[Comments for Tesla Founders Blog] Focus Green « Tesla Founders Blog: “Some Facts”-you’re right, it’s long past time the U.S. got with it, but meanwhile (while we wait for the Bush cabal to be history and hope the states step it up more) here’s the next problem, even IF we seriously dent our problem anytime soon: China and India have built-in huge populations, obviously, that formerly emitted not much co2 at all. Now China and India are going bananas on the co2 front-Tata Motors of India just stared making their ”

[Mises Economics Blog] From CO2 Science: "A 221-Year Temperature History of the Southwest ...: With approximately half the study region located above the Arctic Circle (where CO2-induced global warming is suggested by climate models to be most evident and earliest expressed), one would expect to see southwestern coastal Greenland's air temperature responding vigorously to the 75-ppm increase in the atmosphere's CO2 concentration that has occurred since 1930, even if the models were only half-way correct. However, there has been no net change in air temperature there in response to the 25% increase in the air's CO2 content experienced over that period.

[Charlie's Diary] Charlie's Diary: Common sense alert: Gregory Bateson (a darling of the people you love to hate) once commented, "If this is your estimate of your relation to nature *and you have an advanced technology*, your likelihood of survival will be that of a snowball in hell. You will die either of the toxic by-products of your own hate, or, simply, of overpopulation and overgrazing." Every passing year seems to confirm Bateson;
