How to Save the Planet -- with Carbon Dioxide

G.K. Surya Prakash and George A. Olah of USC College's Loker Hydrocarbon Research Institute talk about their work toward recycling carbon dioxide for energy.

At a workshop July 9-10 co-sponsored by the USC Loker Hydrocarbon Research Institute and the National Science Foundation, more than 50 researchers from academe, industry and national laboratories put their heads together to explore how carbon recycling — using CO2 as a building block for fuel, plastics and more — could help reverse global warming.

we aren't burning as much fossil fuel; if we are burning less fossil fuel, we create less CO2. Hence, Global Warming is the perfect solution to the manmade CO2 problem.

If the problem is manmade CO2, the solution has been staring Al Gore in the face all the time: Global Warming is the answer to the energy and manmade CO2 problem and Ill prove it - consider:

It takes far less energy to cool down to 78 degrees from 90-100 than it does to heat up from the low temperatures of winter, which need raising 50-70 degrees (and sometimes as much as 90-100 or more in Alaska or the Northern States). Since we use less energy when its warmer,
