Top of the Morning to you too Peter (:->)

sorry about the mistake - but the way the mail was addressed suggested that
it originated from you ....(see below)

But being a techno-realist (as well as a technological innovator here) -
there is a huge disconnect between 'Geo-engineering' - massive attempts to
change the earth's climate through large scale intervention - space
reflectors, sulphur aerosols, ocean seeding and so on.... and the things
that REALLY have to be done that reduce our impact and energy footprint -
biodigesters, efficient solar systems, efficient cooking technologies, etc
etc etc.. but there is always the "white-shoe brigade" - with something
shiny and new to dangle before the bemused
- claiming all sorts of environmental benefits - but on examination - it's
all snake oil (in fact we are drowing in eco-friendly snake oil!).

So I have a very hard view of this stuff..
