It's about time The Government switched those giant fans on that we have littered around  the motorway network.

Self-defeating, require too much electrickery to power them, they'd have to recommission some coal-fired power stations to power them thus warming the planet up some more

Fire them up against the direction of earth spin and we'll get longer days.

The Dyson blades (If scaled up) can turn back time.

Always worth remembering if your journalist girlfriend gets buried by boulders in an earthquake.

Big oil asks government to protect its Texas facilities from climate change

PORT ARTHUR, Texas -- As the nation plans new defenses against the more powerful storms and higher tides expected from climate change, one project stands out: an ambitious proposal to build a nearly 60-mile "spine" of concrete seawalls, earthen barriers, floating gates and steel levees on the Texas Gulf Coast.

Like other oceanfront projects, this one would protect homes, delicate ecosystems and vital infrastructure, but it also has another priority: to shield some of the crown jewels of the petroleum industry, which is blamed for contributing to global warming and now wants the federal government to build safeguards against the consequences of it.

The plan is focused on a stretch of coastline that runs from the Louisiana border to industrial enclaves south of Houston that are home to one of the world's largest concentrations of petrochemical facilities, including most of Texas' 30 refineries, which represent 30 percent of the nation's refining capacity.

Texas is seeking at least $12 billion for the full coastal spine, with nearly all of it coming from public funds. Last month, the government fast-tracked an initial $3.9 billion for three separate, smaller storm barrier projects that would specifically protect oil facilities.
