Recent favorable developments in wave energy due to the increased focus on climate change include, technological developments in Scotland, Australia, Denmark and the USA, and a high potential for energy supply - wave energy could provide 10 % of the current world electricity supply (if appropriately harnessed)- and the potential synergies with the offshore oil and gas industry could be significant.

Using the water supply example again, if climate change results in increasing water scarcity, EIs can easily identify adjustments in water rates needed to bring demand into balance with the new supply, which can be less costly than finding new ways to increase supply.

If other companies were to ensure by - products were fed into the supply chain of other industries — for example by using waste products to generate energy — we would see a big positive impact on climate change, pollution and the Earth's dwindling resources.

Translating the above to climate science, if you tell me that in 100 years earth inhabited by your children is going to hell in a handbasket, because our most complicated models built with all those horrendously complicated equestions you can find in math, show that the global temperatures will be 10 deg higher and icecaps will melt, sea will invade land, plant / animal ecosystem will get whacked out of order causing food supply to be badly disrupted, then I, without much climate science expertise, can easily ask you the following questions and scrutinize the results: a) where can I see that your model's futuristic predictions about global temp, icecaps, eco system changes in the past have come true, even for much shorter periods of time, like say 20 years, before I take this for granted and make radical changes in my life?

If the UK manages to get about 16 new large reactors built by the end of the 2020's (which the Climate Change Committee described as «not challenging»), that combined with on and off shore wind may well see a genuinely low emission electricity supply by 2030.

Even if [geo - engineering] were able to stabilize climate change — which is doubtful... We still would be addicted to imported oil, still would be subsidizing terrorism with our gas dollars, still would suffer the cost and supply traumas that are inevitable with finite resources, still would send our children off to die in resource wars, still would pollute the air and cause respiratory problems for our children, and still would wipe out species, many of them beneficial to us, as we invade their habitat.
