How to tame the climate change

Risto Isomäki writes in Finland’s most famous newspaper “Helsingin Sanomat” about the tricks how to avert the climate change. He thinks that the governments must agree on that evening and night flights would be flown lower than nowadays, which would decrease climate warming impact. Development work resources must aim at solar boilers and Indonesia’s turf burning inhibition. The developing countries’ fireplaces and Indonesia’s turf burning generate lots of carbon black that migrate also to the big ice areas of The Arctic Ocean. When the ice is dark and sooty, the sunlight melts the ice instead of reflecting from it. The governments could decrease the atmosphere’s carbon dioxide percentage by binding it to the biomass, for example to the wood charcoal. There is carbon dioxide engaged to the wood and charred became wood remain a long time without decomposing. So the carbon dioxide doesn’t end up to the atmosphere. It would be important that Europe’s governments would build somewhere, for example to Sahara a couple of big solar power plants, where the electricity would be transmitted to the Europe’s electrical network. One really effective, e.g. a one gigawatt power plant would make solar power profitable. We have to use more wood as our source of energy, because it is Finnish renewable source of energy. Especially it would be profitable to invest in pellet industry in North-Finland, because paper industry is ending out there. The most important thing that ordinary citizen can do is to avoid the flights at least until the height of the flights has been lowered in the evenings and at nights. It is profitable to eat vegetarian food, because its climate emissions are just a fraction compared to meat.
