'Capture carbon to avert catastrophic climate change, say world's scientists'

I came across an urgent appeal from scientists for the powers-that-be to adopt CCS technology. Read the Times Online article by clicking here.

Each day, I grow more excited about being capable (someday soon, fingers and toes crossed!) of contributing to new knowledge about this climate change mitigation method. There is a growing feeling of anticipation deep inside me when I think about soon becoming immersed in such relevant and urgent research, in one of the world's top research institutions, with cutting-edge technology, while funded by a well-respected and influential international oilfield services giant.

I don't care if it sounds childish or corny, but the honest truth is, this simple-minded Pinay Nanay is unbelievably keen to get on and do her bit to save the planet! Please, Lord, in spite of humankind's years of stupidity and greed, don't let us cause our own extinction together with Your creation's destruction.
