        The earth gets two billionths of the sun's output each second
. All we need to do is to increase it slightly by putting mirrors near
the sun and beaming lasers to earth . Ghost do the calculations work
out ? 10m MW should be enough to supply the whole world

Afterwards he told The Independent on Sunday that widespread dying of
coral reefs, and rapid melting of ice in the Arctic, had driven him to
the conclusion that the danger point the IPCC had been set up to avoid
had already been reached.

Reefs throughout the world are perishing as the seas warm up: as water
temperatures rise, they lose their colours and turn a ghostly white.
Partly as a result, up to a quarter of the world's corals have been
destroyed.

And in November, a multi-year study by 300 scientists concluded that
the Arctic was warming twice as fast as the rest of the world and that
its ice-cap had shrunk by up to 20 per cent in the past three decades.

The ice is also 40 per cent thinner than it was in the 1970s and is
expected to disappear altogether by 2070. And while Dr Pachauri was
speaking parts of the Arctic were having a January "heatwave", with
temperatures eight to nine degrees centigrade higher than normal.

He also cited alarming measurements, first reported in The Independent
on Sunday, showing that levels of carbon dioxide (the main cause of
global warming) have leapt abruptly over the past two years,
suggesting that climate change may be accelerating out of control.

He added that, because of inertia built into the Earth's natural
systems, the world was now only experiencing the result of pollution
emitted in the 1960s, and much greater effects would occur as the
increased pollution of later decades worked its way through. He
concluded: "We are risking the ability of the human race to survive."
