Message: Drastic Ideas For Sustainability Last week the Associated Press reported that scientists at the United Nations conference on climate change offered some "out of the box" ideas on how to reduce global warming. Dr. Paul Grutzen, of Germany's Max Planck Institute, said that unless the world's polluting nations take immediate and strong action to curb emissions we will have to resort to "startling" solutions to the problem. Today, according to Grutzen, the world's policy makers exhibit a "grossly disappointing international political response to warming." What are Grutzen's startling solutions? Well, they are drastic. One involves hoisting heavy guns to high-altitutes where they would blast the stratosphere with sulphates. This action would have an effect much like that created by the eruption of Mount Pinatubo in 1991. When that volcano erupted it cooled the earth by nine-tenths of a degree for one year. The need for drastic ideas like this one are closer than you think. They may be one generation away. www.corporateknightsforum.com
