FT-Financial Times presents "Wind Power and Alternative Energies and Uses" - Video Series-COP15 Timely.

COP15 Timely video series from Financial Times on the Economics of Offshore Wind-Power, (with Joe Hogan, ABB CEO.) Fledgling industry plagued by cost concerns There are even a couple of remarks on material failures and their consequences for Materials Science and Engineering Professionals. The series continues with an impressive number of videos covering a comprehensive range of related policy issues. Influence of the coming elections in UK are
remarked upon. Other videos in the series of note are an Interview with Lord Browne ex-Chairman of BP and currently President of the Royal Institute of Engineering (UK), Sir Stuart Rose Chairman of M&S, Start and stopping the series is easy and robust. For example, I am listening to the Video Series and writing this blog post simultaneously.

1. Fledgling industry plagued by cost concerns. with Joe Hogan ABB CEO.

2. Business has an essential role to play in the Climate Debate.

3. Less 'greenwash' and more action. with Richard Brown CEO Eurostar.

4. Lord Browne, President RAE"

Some main conclusions are:
1. that energy efficiency must be a major aim. (Joe Hogan ABB)
2. that even this will eventually be insufficient and alternatives will be required. (Richard Brown).
3. COP15 must produce a road map to tackle CC understanding fully the differing situations faced by different nations. (Lord Browne)

"Climate Gate"

There have been noises to similar unnamed unspecified mail(email?) exchanges between scientist on French News. It is extremely easy to quote and, if unethical, abuse a standard good working practise among scientists. Another good practise in scientific research is to publish with references .

Media and polemicists could help advance solutions to what many consider the main problem facing humanity today, namely "energy-climate change" by being equally ethical.

Chemical Sensing and Imaging Technology (hyperspectral imaging) to monitor (and model) vegetation globally will certainly help improve strategies to mitate CO2 emission behaviour and help measure the effects of Climate Change

The game's up - No weed, hopefully will go un-noticed by this most powerful COP (slang for policeman).

As the world, "once again" will meet to discuss GWG-global warming gases notebly CO2 emissions and Climate Change in Copenhagen (COP15) David Bannon CEO of Headwell Photonics reports in Nature Photonics Nov.09 Vol 3 p629 and acknowledges this Hyperspectral chemical sensing and imaging contribution from in two important US Space Agencies Sigma Space Centre and NASA's Goddard Space Flight Centre's Dr. Elizabeth Middleton.

Read the full story at the links provided. This extract focuses on Box 1 of the article but the principles of hyperspectral chemical sensing and imagery are delt with in D.Bannon's article.
