Вот еще интересное околоклиматическое сообщение. Команда Гора предлагает приз $25M за разработку метода удаление СО2 из атмосферы. Что интересно, постановка задачи сравнивается с призом короля Чарльза III за метод точного определения долготы (1675 г). Тогда решение проблемы заняло 60 лет. Интересно, за сколько решим сейчас. Насколько помню HADCM3 and ECHAM4, к 2050-му резко увеличивается аридность климата в нашей черноземной зоне.
Branson, Gore Team Up to Offer $25M Prize for Climate Change Solution
Friday, February 09, 2007
LONDON - British tycoon Sir Richard Branson on Friday announced a $25
million prize for the scientist who comes up with a way of extracting
greenhouse gases from the atmosphere.
The Virgin Group chairman was joined by former Vice President Al Gore
and other leading environmentalists, as he announced the challenge to
find the world's first viable design to capture and remove carbon
dioxide from the air.
A landmark report by the world's leading climate scientists and
government officials, published in Paris last week, warned global
warming will continue for centuries, creating a far different planet in
100 years.
"Man created the problem, therefore Man should solve the problem,"
Branson said. "Could it be possible to find someone on Earth who could
devise a way of removing the lethal amount of CO2 from the Earth's
atmosphere?"
Branson compared it to a competition launched in 1675 to devise a method
of estimating longitude accurately. It was 60 years before English clock
maker John Harrison discovered an accurate method and received his prize
from King George III.
