Natural Gas Cars --will it catch on in the US?

After seeing how Thailand has fully incorporated natural gas into their transportation system, It seems that the United States, with it's large natural gas resources could also easily switch a lot of our transportation system over to natural gas.  This NY Times article is a good description of the current situation.

Climate engineering ideas no longer considered pie in the sky - latimes.com

I've always thought there is a chance the world could work together to mitigate global warming and control climate.  It will take a lot of science, a lot of modeling, and, of course a lot of money and resources.  However I think the total amount of resources expended to mitigate global warming might be less than the cost of the damage that might be done.



Climate engineering ideas no longer considered pie in the sky - latimes.com:



The sad thing is that work and even discussion of climate engineering is somewhat suppressed because of the fear that even a "slight" hope that science could rescue the world from global warming would significantly reduce the minimal efforts the world is making to reduce production of greenhouse gasses.

It amazes me that a few misguided billionaires could continue to suppress science for their own personal gain.

Several decades from now people will look back on this era and wonder why didn't relatively smart people take some action?  Lives will be lost, massive amounts of property will be destroyed.  It could have been prevented, and the impact mitigated.

We now look back at the Holocaust and wonder why didn't the Pope, the US President, the leaders in Europe, and the relatively smart people in Germany stop it.  They each had it within their power to stop it--but didn't.   Why?  A few powerful individuals profited from it.

REGION: Environmental groups urge people to photograph high tides

This group is taking some action by documenting the high tides along the California Coast. I sent a photo from the December 23rd morning high tide to their Flickr site.
