Re: Solving the Global Warming Issue.

i think a global discussion on what would work in the world (as
opposed to just talking about what DOESN'T work) is a good start to
realizing positive change in the world.  i understand you to be saying
that software should be either identified or developed to harness
different ideas and give them a field to be  tested out in theory
before direct application to the material world (do i have that
right?)... so does the computer software have to come before different
ideas can be gathered, compared and implemented?  what can be done
toward this idea in the meantime before such software is found?
