you did a very good analysis, sir. one thing Fingar did not talk about is adaptation strategies for survivors of climate change in the distant future. this is going to happen. everyone has their head in the sand, thinking technology and govts are going to solve the problem, they aint. we are in big deep doo doo. the people like FINGAR need to start talking about and planning for adaptation strategies for survival, such as polar cities, what i call “Lovelock retreats”, and I am sure the CIA is already planning and holding meetings about polar cities, you bet. Google around.

if you want to blog one day on polar cities idea, please do, pro or con.

Good post. I am monitoring this stuff too. Have you heard of my project about POLAR CITIES for survivors of global warming? I figure we might need them around 2500 or so, and I have written to Fingar about this. of course, no reply. But i am sure the USA govt and other govts are already planning their own polar cities for their own VIPs and powerful families, leaving the rest of us out in the cold, well, it won’t be cold, it will be HOT. 500 years.

Wonder if you can take a look at my images, created by Deng Cheng Hong in Taiwan, and Lovelock has seen them and approves of them and told me IT MAY VERY WELL HAPPEN AND SOON.

Maybe you can blog one day on polar cities? Please do. Pro or con. I am curious to know your POV on all this.

As for Fingar’s testimoney, he did not mention POLAR CITIES at all, but you can bet the Homeland Sec dept already has plans in place for polar cities in Alaska — Juneau, Fairbanks, Anchroage, Nome….

I was fascinated by the following sentence from the report.

“Elsewhere, developing countries—particularly major greenhouse gas emitters—may demand that the WTO Agreement on Trade-related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) be amended to allow for the production and development of generic copies of green technologies, citing the precedent of HIV AIDS drugs.”

This is an idea that I haven’t heard much about in climate change technology, but I think we’ll see more of. One could argue that the $100 laptop was expressing a solution to this need in a non-regulatory fashion. I wonder if we’ll see more public sector technology transfer (as the report anticipates above), more private sector involvement (the $100 laptop, or other appropriate technologies), or a mix.
