I heard on the radio this morning that the resources boom is going to go on and one. It's all about India and China needing Australia's resources.

The stockmarket is going gangbusters. It's all about the resources boom. This is no time for the Greens to be asking us to make many sacrifices in material well being and economic growth, which will have adverse impacts on the poorest in our communities and in the world. Money is to be made from coal. Global warming from greenhouse gases cannot be allowed to get in the way of making money can it?

So it is technology to the rescue. The technology would block sunlight to halt global warming. Techniques ,such as giant mirrors in space or reflective dust pumped into the atmosphere, would be important insurance"against rising greenhouse emissions.
