The article in February 22 edition of The Observer by Mark Townsend and Paul Harris draws on an earlier piece by David Stipp, published in Fortune on January 21 (see Climate Collapse - The Pentagon's Weather Nightmare at: http://www.fortune.com/fortune/print/0,15935,582584,00.html ) According to Stipp, the Pentagon study was sponsored by Andrew Marshall ('a Pentagon legend, Marshall, 82, is known as the Defense Department's "Yoda" — a balding, bespectacled sage whose pronouncements on looming risks have long had an outsized influence on defense policy'). Globolog will return to this topic soon

If we break carbon dioxide down using electrical heat, we obtain carbon as a recyclable fuel, and oxygen to oxidize the atmosphere. Carbon can be engineered to be a recyclable green fuel. I have designed a highly efficient furnace design that would cost less than 1/10th of our power, to effectively double energy availability immediately. I am an inventor, and I have researched this approach. I think the only responsible and permanent approach to stopping CO2 overloading is to break it down with a highly efficient technology, and remove the leaking of this hidden carbon fuel from our industrial effluent practices. In short, if we actually confronted this problem head on, we would experience great abundance and security. I invite you to my site at www.vivacundliffe.org, which is both technical and commercial and I have written papers which completely agree with the NOVA production about Climate Change. I have designed a technology solution and am seeking seed funding right now. If you can network with me to achieve a prototype demonstration, you would be helping this problem immensely. I work alone and the work to inform everyone is a full time job for three people. People and government, business, and industry needs to know that if we confront CO2 using technology now available, we will master this domain entirely and permanently, and save our planetary environment. I will be writing more papers in this field, but I find that it is not Academia that has difficulty with cleaning up and conserving fuel, it is government and industry.
