  1. If we cannot stop the whole world burning coal we have no chance whatsoever. The only way that will happen is by bulk energy cheaper than coal. Check out what Moltex Energy are doing. Ultra safe low cost nuclear powe. Initially using waste used fuel to feed the reactors. Free fuel and removing an intractable waste problem long term they will use thorium.

  2. Plant the trees by not chopping them down to grow beef.

  3. Much of our deserts are caused or aggravated by ill considered dams and excessive water extraction think Aral Sea or Afghanistan. Low cost nuclear could desalinate brackish water as a side effect of cheap electricity. Then you don’t need the dams and rivers don’t need to be over used. We have the technology right now but it’s being ignored by governments and climate protestors alike.

  4. I will be labelled a denier. But the start of the industrial revolution was the the peak of the Maunder Minimum a period also called the Little Ice Age. How do the climate studies account for this purely natural warming?
