Selection Rationale

Climate game changing solutions are selected here for being environmentally benign, scalable and cost effective.

It is vital that money is spent wisely, because overly expensive or misguided programs rob resources from the more efficient methods that will be vital for stabilising Earth’s climate.

Renewables are helping to curb the increase in emissions, but on a large scale they are environmentally destructive:

The page on radiation safety explains how nuclear radiation, like fire, is safe within limits.  The old claims that even small doses of radiation are harmful have turned out to be false.

The first, most vital thing for solving climate change is not even a technology. It is  Human Strengths
