Capitalists moving heavy industry and manufacturing to the hottest regions in the world during the 1990's was a big big mistake. That kicked of the scenarios we see today.

There certainly needs to be much more done in human industrial processes. I have had the opportunity to spend some time in study. I think we can work things out. As the situation gets more dire, which it will, people will respond more financially. I have a genuine processing plant in mind, very economical. Ultimately a small solution to a small percentage of the problem. Chemical engineering is a great study. A few years in university can do a great deal. I could still use a few more.

Most nuclear power plants (3800) are built near sea level; It won't be the climate change that changes everything.
