UK Energy and Climate Change committee is having some sort of �inquiry� into IPCC 5th Assessment Report.

Myles Allen the principal investigator of CPDN has submitted his views which can be read at:

Perhaps what he is getting at might make more sense if I also post a couple of links explaining further his views on carbon capture and storage.

If Myles can choose which newspaper to publish an article in I think he picks The Guardian, but he may feel that readers of the Daily Mail can't be ignored: the biggest three newspapers online worldwide are to my knowledge the New York Times, the Daily Mail and The Guardian in that order. But I hope the comments at the bottom of the DM article aren't typical of the majority of readers there.

I don't know much about carbon capture and storage but haven't come across many articles showing that the technology's advancing. I hope Myles' optimism in this regard is well-founded.

My Christmas 'holiday' reading is going to be The Burning Question because I heard one of the authors, Duncan Clark, speaking at a meeting a couple of months ago and was favourably impressed. After I've read that I may be slightly better informed about CCS.

I don't think it's a question as to whether the technology exists for CCS.

It's what associated risks are you (take that as you the individual or you the popular/majority consent) willing to accept.

Same thing with nuclear waste.

There are risks associated with any of these long term storage schemes.

It has to go somewhere, the question is, would you want it in your back yard?

Nobody does, but it has to go somewhere -- right?

6,000?? Give it a rest.

G�bekli Tepe is more than 10,000 years old. And quite intricate I might add.

Explain that!
