"Als historicus ken ik maar al te goed het beklemmend gevoel van de herinnering aan al die mensen die in het verleden zonder besef aan de rand van de afgrond stonden. Als amateur entomoloog ben ik gevo[...]elig voor de gevoeligheden, waarmee de natuur op de klimaatverandering reageert. "

"ER + RE : energy reduction plus renewable energy. this is the solution."

"I suggest the establishment of international Carbon Fund as Agency under the UN. An international agreement has to be signed in which cost has to be agreed for each ton of carbon oxide emmissions. Thi[...]s cost has to be paid by the producers of the emmissions to the Fund. the Fund shall finance sustainable environmental projects worldwide and specially in the developing countries."

"It is imperative that all public trucks and buses use biodiesel. It is also necessary that the US signs the Kioto Protocol.There is a tremendous potential for Latinamerican countries to produce biofue[...]ls. So it would be very important to finance such projects."

"Er wordt nooit gesproken over de voortdurende toename van de wereldbevolking. Zit daar niet één van de grootste problemen. Of durft niemand dat aan te kaarten en is het ontmogelijk hier iets aan te [...]doen? Hoe meer mensen, hoe meer voedsel, hoe meer water er nodig is, hoe meer vervuiling, des te meer verkeer,des te meer CO2 etc. etc De bevolkingsgroei kan toch niet langer zo doorgaan! Waarom lees ik nooit iets over dat onderwerp?"

"L.S.
The initiative is most warmly approved by me. Much of my time is spent in Portugal. I did not notice much interest in the issue there. Do you know by chance anyone whom I could contact in portuga[...]l about this.

"What we see is that in general everyone agrees that abrupt Global Warming is dangerous for humanity and that we must take measures, however when things become personal, the readiness/the decisiveness [...]evaporates. Few examples:

- Germany doesn't want to set speed limits on autobahns;
- US don't want to engage to some concrete obligations;
- China doesn't want to harm the economic growth;
- Large auto-makers don't want to cut the enormous profits of their SUV/Trucks line, by reducing the car/engine size and CO2 emissions; etc.

Quite the opposite - there comes growth in aviation (including low cost flights allowing many people, grounded so far, to fly); growth in low cost vehicles (allowing many people - pedestrians so far, to drive - see the latest example with Tata Nano); emerging economies allow many people (too poor so far) to consume more goods - more goods mean more energy for production and transport, more packing, more pollution, etc.

Many people can't think for longer consequences when their daily survival is at stake.
Unfortunately, this isn't valid for poor people only. Many well living people are "seduced" by the instantaneous consumerism – blindfolded when thinking about tomorrow.

On the other hand there are many other problems, nonetheless important than Global Warming - UN Millennium Development Goals describe our main priorities. While they are mutually related, we cannot afford to solve them one by one, but we must fight them on all fronts, simultaneously.

In this relation, I would like to ask you kindly to consider the possibilities described in Desert Ice Project (http://www.deserticeproject.com/). There you will find a description of the project aimed to fight global warming (and many other related global problems like desertification / drought, food and water shortage, poverty, illiteracy, illegal immigration, terror, violence and conflicts, etc.) by global, complex measures - global initiative / network of local focused solutions to specific regions.
If the situation is so bad and even going worse, we must not exclude any alternative.

The emphasis is on the belief that basically we can react to climate change in two key ways:
1. By intensive greening (more trees and leafs - more absorbed CO2, more stable soil, more jobs, more income and profits, more stable economies and more well living people, improved security, etc.);
2. By sophisticated filtering and energy efficient systems radically reducing heat-trapping gases that flow in the atmosphere – all shaped in one international system of standards, which does not allow one to take unfair advantage compared to the others.

I believe that this might be interesting for you from your perspective, and that the proposed measures could initiate a serious discussion."
