just read this by tim flannery - recommended
good introduction on our global thermostat, the science and politics. Broke some myths I had about this subject, seeing I knew nothing previously.
Air flight is cooling our planet in the short term, hydrogen as a fuel is not an option due to current storage/transport limitations (compressed air tanks look like a good idea of storing energy for transport), global cooling(think ice age) is as much a risk as warming. Coal is worse than oil. The max coal/co2 are power stations & for oil its shipping. The Inuit lands wont sustain thier people for much longer & emigrating to Canada seems like a good idea.
I changed to a Green Power option with my electricity provider yesterday!!
