It appears that we shall have to liberate ourselves from the bondage of the conventional thinking. All these economic crisis arising mainly from the subprime crisis, the crisis of global warming caused by excessive carbon emissions and the crisis of massive unemployment all are linked together. It shows that time has arrived for us, the world citizens, to discard old ideas and methods suitable for an early world and must evolve into a more sophisticated, all encompassing and sensitive civilization for which our children and grand children would think about us with pride.
Instead of thinking too much about carbon emissions if we, the people and the governments must act now for the planting of hundreds of millions of trees world wide all the so called excessive carbon emission will be absorbed and the worldwide rainfall will increase lowering the temperature of earth. This is a technology which is already there, only a massive world wide effort is necessary. Secondly hydrogen as fuel stored in the form as matallic hydrides and to be used for powering automobiles can be developed without stretching ourselves too much right now. So actually what is really needed is the collective mindsets to overcome the present crisis.
