• Warming of the climate system is unequivocal
• Increasing global air and ocean temperatures
• Rising global average sea level
• Reductions of snow and ice
IPCC 4th report Nov 2007
Sea level rise under warming is inevitable
Long time scales of thermal expansion & ice sheet response to warming imply that stabilisation of GHG concentrations at or above present levels will not stabilise sea level for many centuriesFigures from The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change

Pressure resulted from greenhouse gas emissionIn a global point of view, China’s per-capita carbon emission is still low. But when taken the large population into account, the whole amount ranks second.
Premier Zhu Rongji announced at the 2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development, that China has approved the Kyoto Protocol to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.

Separation CO² from air, (membrane or centrifuge) can exchange membranes with air flowing past on one side and low pressure water vapour on the other (water boiled at ambient temperature, partially solar heated or heated by the compressor). CO² is drawn through to the water vapour side. The steam / CO² moisture is compressed and cooled until the CO² is a nearly pure stream

The Fourth Revolution
The first revolution was the change from hunter gatherer to farming and land management.
The second revolution was the industrial revolution, 10,000 yearlater and was the change from individual manufacture to mass production techniques.
The third revolution was the ‘dot comm’ revolution 200 years later in the computer/internet revolution, the large corporations did not want to know it at first, now you can’t find a company without a website.
The fourth revolution is now under way, only 20 years later, at first the large corporations did not want to know or be associated with it, now you can’t find a company not rightly or wrongly proclaiming its green products.
It is unstoppable nowTony Marmont - June 2008
