Global warming could be solved quickly and easily. The issue is not that research is needed and expensive or whatever. America easily has the wherewithall to create alternative means of fuel for cars and planes. However, there is too much money in oil for them to warrant using something else and deteriorating it's value. Sorry to say it, but until 'the revolution' happens and the world is not run by a quest for money (I'm not holding my breath) there's absolutely fuck all we can do. Might as well kick back and enjoy the extra fortnight of summer!
