Well apparently according to the number crunchers and models economic and climate, if we were to implement all the best technologies (3d solar cells, gravity water battery dams,) etc. that we have today and a 5% carbon tax for R& D and Demo.... the planets temperature wouldn't start cooling again till about 2100 CE/AD and till then it might hit as high as 18 * Celsius globally from the 15.5 * Celsius of now and the last 1000 years....... but they say there is no incentive for people and biz and gov to do this but .... hmmmm isn't life though and the life of ones kids and grand kids not to mention pets and other animals incentive....????
I turned my power off for 3 hours this morning after i heard this as they say the major source of CO2 emissions is electricity production from coal and until we can get rid of the coal burning and its low? price ..... though is the extinction of life a low price?

An introduction to the science and art of perception management.
The phrase "perception management" is filtering into common use as a synonym for "persuasion." Public relations firms now offer "perception management" as one of their services. Similarly, public officials who are being accused of shading the truth are now frequently charged with engaging in "perception management" when disseminating information to media or to the general public.
Although perception management operations are typically carried out within the international arena between governments, and between governments and citizens, use of perception management techniques have become part of mainstream information management systems in many ways that do not concern military campaigns or government relations with citizenry. Businesses may even contract with other businesses to conduct perception management for them, or they may conduct it in-house with their public relations staff.
Perception management is a term originated by the U. S. military. The U. S. Department of Defense (DOD) gives this definition:
Actions to convey and/or deny selected information and indicators to foreign audiences to influence their emotions, motives, and objective reasoning as well as to intelligence systems and leaders at all levels to influence official estimates, ultimately resulting in foreign behaviors and official actions favorable to the originator's objectives. In various ways, perception management combines truth projection, operations security, cover and deception, and psychological operations.
