Greetings. I hope you are enjoying, with some tranquility, the approaching holidays and the end of another year. The major Copenhagen climate conference starts tomorrow. At http: / / PlanetThoughts. org, read stories directly on that topic. You can also evaluate interactively some of the major GHG proposals and their impact. Read about a supposed scam of climate scientists and their emails; new ideas in wind power technology; the move by the US Administration to massively change climate policy and funding, thought-pieces such as the discussion of simultaneous urges to be optimistic and pessimistic, and more. Thanks for stopping by! David Alexander President http: / / OpalComputing. com http: / / PlanetThoughts. org http: / / Green-Wave-Email. com
