Good News!

Here is the biggest news I have heard in the past few months. Rupert Murdoch has come out and now agrees that there is a link between human activities and global climate change. This is amazing! This marks the turning point of our history. It is really that big. This should be front page news on every media.

I wrote the previous post in ignorance of this factoid and this is exactly what I was on about. The practical upshot is that with the power of News corp things will start to change. The more informed have known and have been concerned about climate change for quite some time but this will push it down the throat of the other 70% of the population. It will become political suicide to avoid this issue over the coming years.

On the conspiracy theory front does this mean that big money has moved its capital out of businesses that will suffer as we move into a low carbon emission era?

Big business ideas for a low carbon world:

Direct conversion of cellulous into alcohol.
Creation/collection of biodegradable waste for feed stock for the above.
Combined food and cellulous farming
Battery/electrical energy storage technology
Low cost/low efficiency/easily deployed solar electric system integration for domestic application
Hybrid/all electric vehicles
Efficient artificial lighting and HVAC
Low capital fast neutron fission reactors
Public transport infrastructure systems
