POPSNew thin-film solar panels easy to install These new solar panels look and sound easy to install. No price info here but links are provided for more info, including dealers and possible financial incentives available. With electricity prices going ever higher and solar power technology (and hopefully prices) improving, I hope to be able to go solar soon.

POPSInuit to blame US for global warming Even more, the government should've at first supported their lifestyle and economy, which may be affected by global warming. Whatever causes are, the fact is that their life is being threatened, which can be why they take case to "human-rights" commission.

POPSChina will perhaps be ready to reduce greenhouse gas emission in the next year or so This must be a great step for the climate change regime if this will be true, since in the regime China has played a role as veto country, especially on behalf of G77+China. Here we can estimate that the last IPCC report, in which Chinese scientists participated better than before, played a important part in having the nation rethink on the issue. Throughout organising the report, naturally China has acquired knowledge more than before. I suspect this work made it possible for them to make a course correction.

POPSWhat do we do now against the acquired knowledge of climate change? The emergence of this issue in public isn't enough. The important thing is, what do we do next then? Also, you'll see this part in the article: The most important thing that professionals in sustainability will have to offer in the future is not ready-made solutions, but an ability to improvise, adapt, innovate, and dream up still more visionary-yet-feasible ideas about how to transform a global civilization or rescue ecosystems in trouble. The drastic climate change demands the scientists to innovate ideas, rather than to offer acquired solutions. They are required to express thought beyond the academic circles.

POPSUS Plans to attack Iran are well underway.
The "Master Plan," rumbles on, despite the US votes in the last election, despite the overwhelming majority of Americans being against it, despite the loss of "blood and treasure," despite the destruction it causes. Apparently our votes and feelings are not enough. Impeaching Vice-President Cheney would be a good next steip (If we impeach Bush then Cheney would become President, so it would be best to go one step at a time.) To stop this upcoming war. I propose: Impeach Chene now, right away. Start some criminal trials for him and his 'neo-con,' lying warmongers, ASAP. Impeach Bush next, if there is time - Also, now, right away start Recall Elections against Republican Governor possible. Continuing action into next year, defeat every one of the 21 Republican US Senators who are up for re-election in 2008 and work for a Democrat to be the next President (whoever wins the Democratic Primary). Lets not just to 'defeat' the Republican Party, but to destroy the Republica

POPSProposal of CO2 storage with bio-energy No more patience. Due to this characteristics of the issue, joint responsibility, while some countries keep denying to make action, the others are forced to be at risk. Those that really think this is important issue, they're expected to make action without joining deniers.
