Climate Change needs the right technology solutions

Over the last 15 years the IPCC ( Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) has been accumulating evidence of climate change and urging Governments to cut back on GHG levels particularly the use of fossil fuels but to no avail. As a result each year we hear of the disappearance of a new Ice shelf, a forest fire, ravaging storms and increasing desertification. A prime reason of this is the failure of technology leadership within the IPCC and its inability to provide a profitable and economical technology route map that appeals to the politicians as well as solves the climate change problems. If ecology has to succeed we must blend it with the economy and make it cost-effective and easily adaptable for one and all

What is a technology route map for climate change? It is a list of clear well defined cost effective solutions that must reduce emissions. The most evident and simple solutions that the politicians must be able to sell to the people they govern and create budgetary provisions for their implementation.
Surely you cannot expect the Chinese President Hu Jintao or even President Obama telling people at home without deep anxiety that they must pay a hefty fine to the world community because they happen to produce the most GHG Greenhouse gasses. Every parliament or congress will try rubbish all such arguments and ensure that their leaders rule out such talk and move ahead with whatever is deemed as the most economical and profitable energy solution for the nation, though small concessions will often be made as a gesture.
Hence the technology route map must only put together the most economical and profitable energy solutions that could replace fossil fuel. Also instead of penalising countries for carbon emissions, they must provide easy funding solutions like IMF or World Bank Credit for those few selected technologies that can compete with fossil fuel. If China or India are given long term credit at nominal rates for the incremental difference between solar & coal based plants they are more likely to accept these solutions than penalties for GHG emissions. If they adopt new green technologies, then these can actually be cheaper and easier for human use, with increase of volumes that the mass markets of China and India provide , in a 10 year time frame.

At the Blog 'Economy to Ecology' we believe that it is high time to set up a technology route map. For this a group of consulting firms in the energy sector must be given the assignment, those who have set up major energy sector units and are qualified by the World Bank for energy projects.
We could be wrong. Tell us if we are & why? We encourage diverse opinion even if it is from commercially interested groups opposed to our thinking
