"I am saying that both sides of the global warming debate are likely correct but that there is nothing to be done with respect to warming caused by natural cycles. There is a lot to be done with respect to warming caused by human activities. The carbon dioxide gathering artificial trees someone linked seem like a terrific idea and cheap to implement to boot." A science fiction author I read forwarded an idea many years ago. Whose idea was it originally? I do not know. Orbiting solar panel would shield the earth from solar rays while beaming electricity down via microwave. It would be paid for by the first world and while the third world rotated under the panels they would get a free or reduced cost ride. spacefuture.com I have thought for many years that it would be interestiing to have a personal windmill.
