Certain words\/phrases have been printed in bold to help you locate them while answering some of the questions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Our current approach to solving global warming will not work. It is flawed economically, because carbon taxes will cost a fortune and do little, and it is flawed politically because negotiations to reduce carbon-di-oxide emissions will become ever more <strong>fraught<\/strong> and divisive. And even if you disagree on <strong>both counts<\/strong>, the current approach is also flawed technologically.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/OBTopicTests\"><strong>Take Oliveboard\u2019s Free New Pattern English\u00a0Language Test<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Many countries are now setting ambitious carbon cutting goals ahead of global negotiations. Let us imagine that the world ultimately agrees on an ambitious target. Say, we decide to reduce carbon-di-oxide emissions by three-quarters by the year 2100 while maintaining <strong>reasonable<\/strong> growth. Herein lies the technological problem to meet this goal, non-carbon based sources of energy would have to be astounding 2.5 times greater in 2100 than that was in the year 2000.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">These figures were calculated by economists of a foreign university. Their research shows that confronting global warming effectively requires nothing short of a technological revolution. We are not taking this challenge seriously. If we continue on our current path, technological development will be nowhere near significant enough to make non-carbon based energy sources competitive with fossil fuels on price and effectiveness.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Sadly, during the international negotiations, the focus is on how much carbon to cut, rather than on how to do so. Little or no consideration will be given to whether the means of <strong>cutting<\/strong> emissions are sufficient to achieve the goals. Politicians will base their decisions on global warming models that simply assume that technological break- through will happen by themselves. This faith is sadly and dangerously misplaced.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Economists examine the state of non-carbon based energy today -nuclear, wind, solar, and geothermal and find that, taken together, alternative energy sources would get us less than halfway toward a path of stable carbon emissions by 2050, and only a tiny fraction of the way toward stabilization by 2100. We need many times more non-carbon based energy than is currently produced.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Yet the needed technology will not be ready in terms of scalability or stability. In many cases, there is still a need for the most basic research and development. We are not even close to getting this revolution started.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Current technology is so inefficient that to take just one example, if we were serious about wind power, we would have to <strong>blanket<\/strong> most countries with wind turbines to generate enough energy for everybody, and we would still have the <strong>massive<\/strong> problem of storage: We don&#8217;t know what to do when the wind does not blow.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Policy makers should abandon fraught carbon reduction negotiations and instead make agreements to invest in research and development to get this technology to the level where it needs to be.<\/span><\/p>\n<p
