Well, there's no such thing as an ideal world or an ideal climate - what suits one person doesn't suit someone else.

The problem we're facing at the moment is that the climate is changing much faster than nature can adapt to. The sort of change that might have happened naturally over a period of 1000 years is now happening in 10 years.

It's not about seeking an ideal place but about retunring the climate to within natural tolerances. Nature can then warm or cool the planet of it's own accord in it's own time.

The economical repercussions of doing nothing are astronomical. Nicholas Stern, the former Chief Econoimist and Senior Vice President of the World Bank has calculated that the present cost of global warming is $600 billion a year and that if we don't do anything the cost will rise to $4.2 trillion a year. We could spend just a tiny fraction of the money we're losing and bring the runaway climate back under control using any one of a number of schemes that would not impact on our lifestyles.

I heard a good solution once. Conversation at a University pub among friends. Can you tell who is studying what?

"Point for discussion. How do we make the world better"

"We live too long and there are too many of us. We need to kill the doctors."

"But wait, if you killed all the engineers first, no more clean water; the doctors would never be able to keep up with the disease. Then you wouldn't have to kill the doctors!"

"Wait a minute now. If we kill all the Christians until they are outnumbered by gays then the birth rate will go down and you won't have to kill the engineers!"

"Whoa there, let's kill the hooked nose towel heads, they produce all the oil that is destroying the world. Then we don't have to put the Christians to the lions a second time"

"Geeth, I'm glad you guyths didn't blame it all on the gays. My round! Bartender ... thix beerths for my friends!"

"Sure Philip, right away!"

I just want a few simple steps.

1) Require cars to get much better mileage.
2) Fund plug-in hybrid and electric car research, and highly subsidize these cars.
3) Tax the heck out of gas.
4) Put a price on industrial carbon emissions.
5) Stop deforestation, replant forests.
6) Increase renewable and nuclear energy production, decrease coal burning.

To make the world an ideal place I would stop the destruction of forests (wildlife), reduce the myriad of factories that contribute to air pollution, and because I'm an animal lover, I would help increase the numbers' of endangered species.

I think the only way that the world could still be unharmed by humans is if we stopped technology back at like medievil times, maybe a little further. As for the economical repercusions, I would see the dow dropping like 100 points, which would equal out to about 50 wampum, I think.

Diverted the asteroid that hit 65 million years ago.
That way the dinosaurs might still be alive and the earth wouldn't be facing what we have done to it.
In other words: Not let humans rise up to screw up a beautiful world.

started recycling waste to make energy/fuel a long time ago.
it would increase savings of production and profit businesses more, because their waste would generate them a profit.
the idea that biofuel utilization will harm the economy, is a lie.

I'll be a very vocal demostrant. So they point me to replace secretary general Mr Ban Ki-moon.
I'll be so tyrant, especially to my own country, who burn reservation forrest just to get oil, suck it and export them to Europe.
I'll urge them to replace old n brainless president n minister (they stop work and corrupt).
I push every chairman n leader to re-educate their people. Etc..etc...
No forrest nor animal should be human's victim.
Revolution in every aspect.
