Many of the Science Magazines are talking about crazy ways to stop Global Warming. Some of the ideas put forth are absolutely insane and others plausibly deniable. One member at the “Offline EU Think Tank” suggested that we put forth additional R and D monies to bring about “flying cars” a couple of decades early and since the traffic is so insane in our cities, where the urban heat islands are, the flying cars will provide shade to the hot concrete and asphalt below?

The poet, W. H. Auden, dubbed our time as “the Age of Anxiety”. It is predictably certain, that in a post 9/11 world that is becoming aware of inconvenient truths like global warming and pandemics, general and pervasive anxiety will continue to grip the hearts and minds of growing numbers of people.

As I do training and speaking in dozens of companies, associations and government organizations every year, and have done so over the past three decades, I can state from experience that clinical levels of anxiety are approaching epidemic levels in the most workplaces. It is a significant but invisible cost to practically every organization.

After making a strong case for Europe to adopt the cap-and-trade strategy back in 1997, the United States took two important steps in the other direction since then.

One such development is the recent proliferation of coal-fired power plants built all over the Mid West. Within the next ten years we can expect to see dozens of coal-plants at the 1,500 MW range spewing out about a million tons of sulphur a year into the atmosphere.

The second development is the re-introduction of the Carbon Tax idea to the U.S. Congress. Dem. Pete Stark of California, for example, who proposed the first carbon tax measure 16 years ago, has again proposed to charge $25 per ton of carbon released.
