...core of that problem is energy, which touches every aspect of modern life, and while the old green virtues of conservation, of simple living, must play a part in our response, the key will be technology. We must invent, develop and implement - on a global scale - low-carbon means of using power. What's required, as Krupp writes in his new book, Earth: The Sequel, is a "second industrial revolution as sweeping as that effected a century ago by the likes of Thomas Edison, Henry Ford and John D. Rockefeller...
...consumers, it all depends on your shade of green. Peiros acknowledges that Clorox's daring "to mainstream the idea of natural cleaners" has fueled a healthy amount of skepticism among consumers all too aware that Green Works was sired by a company that sells carbon-releasing Kingsford charcoal and petroleum-based Glad bags, not to mention cat litter and even water filters. Karen Hernandez, a jewelry designer in Sarasota, Fla., who considers bleach a "necessary evil," says that given Clorox's product portfolio, she would not buy their green line of products. "Something's amiss that makes me feel uncomfortable...
Caldeira modeled the effects on climate that Crutzen's notion of spreading sulfur particles into the air would have and found that geoengineering might be able to compensate for a doubling of the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Even more impressive was the price tag: somewhere between a few hundred million dollars and a couple of billion dollars a year, compared with the unknowable cost of decarbonizing the entire world. But the drawbacks are serious. Worsening air pollution is a risk. We'd have to keep geoengineering indefinitely to balance out continued greenhouse-gas emissions, and the motivation...
...have been in love with Clooney since I first saw him on ER. How can I get him to come to my house and check my carbon monoxide alarm? Nancy Harris, NEW YORK CITY...
...level, the tendency to rush into high profile, fix-all “solutions” before we have fully analyzed the interdependency of all the elements involved. Instead of pursuing those modest, non-fanciful solutions that we have reason to believe might work (like forest management to increase carbon uptake and a carbon tax), we’ve seen millions of dollars plunged into a wasteful scheme that shuttles money directly from taxpayer to corn farmer, nastily hiking world food prices...
