Climate 'meltdown', yet fusion lags 6:07pm on 19 Jun 2009 I'm not sure about the value of ITEA yet. It would, if it works, add to the total amount of heat contained in the earth's system. With greenhouse gases holding it in until they are successfully reduced will that not make the climate yet hotter if even by only a tiny fraction? I would like to see all the balance of the argument there.

However I remain convinced by the Club of Rome's offering over the last couple of years of using the deserts as heat collectors and points of solar electrical power generation. This was, to my mind an important piece of BBC news last year. Has something come up to stop it? The Trans-Mediterranean Renewable Energy Cooperation (TREC) seems an ideal solution, especially since none of the technology involved needs to be invented or even developed.

Whether or not we believe in the greenhouse effect, as I do, reduction of the use of oil, gas and coal - and preferably their abandonment altogether will lead us towards a much cleaner world which our descendants will be able to enjoy as they have the right to do

If anything I think even the TREC project is to cautious. We should use the energy from the sun to produce all the energy we need - not just to equal current consumption of electricity but also to drive our transport systems including cars.

Please can someone direct me to any website offering a better solution or tell me why the TREC project has not yet taken centre stage?
Children in detention at Yarl's Wood 5:22pm on 05 May 2009 Thank you Mark for this comment made, you will have to admit, at arms length from the subject. Have you ever visited detainees yourself or followed their mock trials at the immigration courts? I have and can testify that their treatment at all stages is a travesty of justice. I never saw any journalist and shared the public seats with no other ordinary members of the public. This means in effect that they were held in secret. I challenge your profession to take up this case properly and uncover the whole truth about the process. I believe the way in which a country treats the alien in its midst is a true mark of its humanity or lack of it. Like you, I feel ashamed of my country for this but I urge you to actually do more to change it.

Weightlifting doubts appear early 07:44am on 10 Aug 2008 I think it best to wait for the judges to 'raise the doubts'. Please Mr. Cotter be very careful about your attempts to curry favour with the Chinese by rumour-mongering against Taiwan. For now, how about observing the good old British legal principle of presumption of innocence? In Tainan people are proud of their hero and hope it stays that way.
