"Geoengineering" What it might come down to....



Simply amazing ideas that scientists are considering now to ease the effects of global warming

A Very Convenient Truth

Sarah Silverman’s “A Very Convenient Truth” is funny. Sarah uses humour to get across the same points as Gore, using the same footage and she makes almost identical points.

Light Coloured Roof Tops Make a Difference So What About Lighter Roads


We all know it's cooler inside a house with a light coloured roof because light colours do not absorb and retain heat. But in fact they help the Green House Gas cause quite significantly by reflecting heat. Whether you are planning a roof restoration or building a new home, do yourself, your grandchildren and the planet a big favour.

With the millions of miles of blacktop-road surfaces- criss crossing the planet maybe we should start thinking about lighter coloured road surfaces too.

Branson have courage, pioneer an airline seat co-operative.....

Hot Air

Branson can choose not to fly partly full aircraft.

But it would take a person of fair dinkum integrity to throw down the challenge to a few other airlines to agree to top up each others jets so that they are always pretty full before take off.

Look at the enormous benefits in this scenario if just two airlines agree:-

Each participant usually has 4 half sold flights a week so they top each other up alternately

  • Each saves the entire cost of operating 2 full flights
  • Money saved means ecstatic share holders
  • Less congested runways & flight paths
  • And most importantly, fossil fuel emissions are reduced extensively.

So put your mouth where your money is!

2400kg of carbon per head in a round trip...


Snap freeze them just before they fart and...


Cattle & Sheep are big contributors to greenhouse gas emissions. Who would believe that they contribute 20% of global methane emissions!

The cure must surely be to snap freeze them with liquid nitrogen just before they fart, shatter them with the high frequency pitch from a tuning fork and blend them into readymix for road construction.

Recycle existing CO2 or find an alternative!


Carbon dioxide is still being manufactured. Given the abundance we already have, can we recylce it. Soft-drinks are gassed with the stuff -thousands of tons of it-..... Could there be an alternative non-carbonated gas.... Every little bit helps.
