If there is a sound possibility to work on a scientific solution, why don't the global institutions push it in their agenda. As I witness what has been going on in a country like Indonesia, we are so much behind the issue, yet the environmentally deprived communities are simply being victimized without any foreseen alternatives for their livelihood. We look forward to hearing more from WIF and others.</p> http://lisboa.cafebabel.com/en/post/2007/11/17/European-Development-Days-Will-Climate-Change-Development#c4085 urn:md5:9a67d904b902351c0c91acf0fd5d4f08 Sun, 18 Nov 2007 19:11:03 +00:00 david hill <p>The world's problems are so large and complex that no government or governments in political concert with each other can now solve them. There is only one thing that will provide the means and solution for humankind to survive past this present century, the ORE-STEM Complex and its global interlinked Satellite Incubator Centres. For if the leading scientific minds in the world in concert cannot do this, no politician or others can. It is as simple as that. The problem is of course that politicians will not listen to the independent mind and voice. They only listen to themselves and their so-called informed advisers, but where this thinking has been found totally wrong time and time again. For just one instance amongst countless is when the chief scientific adviser to the PM in the United Kingdom in WW2 stated to the prime minister that the Germans had not the technology to produce a flying bomb. But where only two months later they were reigning down on the UK. This time though, the destructive force of nature will be reigning down on us and will do its worst. But as always it has to be said, it will be the people who ultimately suffer and not the politicians or their astute advisers. Mark my words, politicians will do relatively nothing to stem what has now been put in motion by the powerful in industry and politics in return for a quick to medium term financial return and no other. Destroying the planet in the name of self-interest is a crime against humanity and it should be seen that way.<br /> Therefore people will have to come to the reasoning, sooner or later, that the ORE-STEM complex, thought out by some of the foremost scientific minds (the late and great US scientist Dr. Glenn Seaborg included who was the major thinker on the matter – Element 106 Seaborgium) is the only answer. For to stop the now ever-growing human destructive juggernaut in its tracks, only something of an immense undertaking of an equal magnitude will do this. The sooner politicians and industrialists realize this, the sooner the world may have a chance to prevent what is on the horizon for humankind.<br /> <br /> Dr David Hill<br /> World Innovation Foundation<br /> Bern, Switzerland<br /> www.thewif.org.uk<br /> <br /> Ps.
