		<description>I admire Dr Hansen, but it is politically and economically impractical to have a moritorium on the building of new dirty coal-fire power plants, or the retrofitting of old ones:

Vaclav Smil, an energy expert at the University of Manitoba, has estimated that capturing and burying just 10 percent of the carbon dioxide emitted over a year from coal-fire plants at current rates would require moving volumes of compressed carbon dioxide greater than the total annual flow of oil worldwide — a massive undertaking requiring decades and trillions of dollars. &quot;Beware of the scale,&quot; he stressed.&quot;

&quot;I&#039;m going to tell you something I probably shouldn&#039;t: we may not be able to stop global warming. We need to begin curbing global greenhouse emissions right now, but more than a decade after the signing of the Kyoto Protocol, the world has utterly failed to do so. Unless the geopolitics of global warming change soon, the Hail Mary pass of geoengineering might become our best shot.&quot;  --Bryan Walsh, Time Magazine, 17 March 2008</description>
