[Sosfbay-discuss] One Degree War

[Gerry Gras]

The 350.org blog points out this webpage:

"Time to prepare for The One Degree War"
http://paulgilding.com/cockatoo-chronicles/cc20091106-odw-launch.html

It has a link to a draft paper:

"One Degree War"
http://paulgilding.com/fileshare/p091101-The-one-degree-war-plan.pdf

about how to fight a "war" to get climate change under control.
This paper was written by two climate scientists.


NOTE: On page 13 of the paper is a reference to an article in
the November, 2009 Scientific American.  Apparently a renewable
energy system would be cheaper than fossil fuel and nuclear?!?
I MUST get a copy!

NOTE: This includes CCS (Carbon Capture and Sequestration).
It is my impression that there are some serious unsolved
technical problems with CCS that may make it unfeasible.
Does anyone know anything indicating otherwise?

NOTE: On page 16 is a redistribution to every global citizen
starting at $45 per person per year and rising to $225 per
person per year.  This would be a significant improvement
to the world's poorest one billion or two billion.
