Purpose

This paper seeks to give a review of reasons for believing that the problem of global warming is more urgent than widely assumed, largely following the lead of a recent book by Lovelock. It is argued that increased use of nuclear power is the best course, especially if fusion power can be achieved. A short note is appended referring to a previous discussion of interactions with Islam.

Design/methodology/approach

This is performed by a review of developments on the internet, especially those of general cybernetic interest.

Findings

Global warming poses a real and immediate threat which can be partly offset by increased use of nuclear power.

Practical implications

Increased use of nuclear power is not only warranted, but also vital, and achievement of practical fusion power would be an enormous bonus.

Originality/value

Hopefully this is a valuable periodic review.
