bearing in mind that only a small percentage of earths population have access to electricity, if we enabled all under developed countries in the world with fossil fuel electricity and heating systems, we would likely have to cover every sq inch of farmland in trees to combat climate change.rather than outright fighting the building of wind turbines (that in future times can be repaired at a fraction of the impact and pollution of replacing them) we should be putting pressure on the manufacturers of these systems and technologies to invest more in finding green solutions to using the polluting chemicals in the construction of turbines.

In a sharp change from its cautious approach in the past, the National Academy of Sciences on Wednesday called for taxes on carbon emissions, a cap - and - trade program for such emissions or some other strong action to curb runaway global warming.Such actions, which would increase the cost of using coal and petroleum — at least in the immediate future — are necessary because «climate change is occurring, the Earth is warming... concentrations of carbon dioxide are increasing, and there are very clear fingerprints that link [those effects] to humans,» said Pamela A.
