The Religious leaders suggestions
Some “snapshots”: Demonstrated good knowledge and desire to help in solving the problem. God lead the man over the world and said “Do not damage”. Do not destroy - will be unable to restore No attempt to contradict or even destructively interfere with science. 25 hours without pollution – cars etc.

EuroScience Open Forum -Ib
Robinson preside over the infamous World Conference against Racism in Durban Set up The Mary Robinson Foundation - Climate Justice Aim: “To secure global justice for those many victims of climate change who are usually forgotten - the poor” Main idea of the talk – CO2 emission is not ethical!

EuroScience Open Forum -Ic
Scientific proof –alders in Africa said: “Never was such a terrible climate – so hot”. Now we, in Jerusalem can add –newer so stormy and cold Non-ethical is to deny such an established fact as human decisive role in global warming. My comment – 1. it is non-ethical to speak about a subject, completely unknown to you, 2. Climate change is a scientific issue, not an area of political bias and propaganda, 3. Almost all my colleagues – physicists do not believe in this guilt of humans

EuroScience Open Forum -IIa
Adaptation or extinction? Responses to radical climate changes Climate Change is transforming life on Earth. Around the globe, seasons are shifting, temperatures are climbing and sea levels are rising. We face species extinctions, ocean acidification, and other large scale shifts. Few topics attracted more attention and debate than finding an agreement on what are events that trigger these changes and what are the responses in this rapidly changing world. How will the Earth respond to these changes? What we learned from the past and how can technology help us in the future? Join outstanding scientists to debate the answers to these questions.

EuroScience Open Forum -IIb
Adaptation or extinction? Responses to radical climate changes Each table (15 people) became a province government. We (engineers, teachers, scientists, students, a writer and an architect) have to elect prime –minister. Our PM became a pretty girl-student, with lowest education We should create an agenda. Everybody wrote a proposal, but she should decide what to present to the government. Her choice - to build underground tanks to hide liquidized CO2. Then she had five minutes to report to the central government. Their decision I do not know. Perhaps, it will materialized.

Meeting in St. Petersburg, Oct. 2012

Meeting in St. Petersburg, Oct. 2012
Talk Energy sources and sustainable development in the future. CO2, mainly human, is the cause of global warming The fact that warming is not seen now – action of + and – factor, of which – is random and soon disappear Was debating as a politician, not paying attention to the language of own curves.
