They wil also recycle all their waste and as such, have a “zero carbon” footprint.

Of course, it is great to be located in a sun drenched part of the world.

There is a short video on the city’s website which shows theprojected city plan.Or at least, one important section of the city.

Global warming could lead to a climate catastrophe closer than we think.

Last March, in Copenhagen, at a climate conference, a group of scientists presented more than 1,400 studies related to climate change and its impact on the planet.

Last month, a 39 page summary entitled “Climate Change – Synthesis report” was released, explaining the impact of global warming. Details about this excellent report can be found on Google news.

This scientific meeting was a rehearsal for the upcoming December United Nations meeting, also to be held in Copenhagen to hammer out a successor to the Kyoto Protocol which expires in 2012.

Global warming will impact us all, so I encourage you to at least read the article about climate change on Google from Agence France Presse.

The Synthesis report is also a very interesting read.
