More climate talks, more inaction

[a geek named Bob]

22. My carbon footprint is a shade under 2 tons

which happens to be the recommended target number via the UN commission.

As soon as I can build a more robust micro-grid*, I'll have that at zero.

A few friends and I are working out the last details to build a form of Von Neuman machines that will "eat" excess CO2 and Methane (both known as GWG), and produce more Von Neuman machines. Another idea is to build a "whale" that "eats" the weak carbonic acid found in some seawater. Together, These ought to fix things within 60 years. Another idea is to build rafts that use Kudzu to use up the excess GWG. All three of these together ought to stop all Global Warming effects within 40 years.

And that assumes that all of the power companies continue to use tar sand oil and coal, and that Americans stick to a fleet average of 15-20 mpg.

It's not in me to just up and quit on Western Civilization. I refuse to live like a savage/barbarian/Mad-Max-wannabe (SBMMW), as long as I've got a brain, a working arm, and a breath in my body. I don't much care if others want to live like SBMMW, but I'll be in the cities, keeping the lights on.

*the hardest part is finding inexpensive true sine inverters. Most of the inverters out there are either square wave, or stepped square wave.
