WHY WE NEED NANOTECHNOLOGY:

Diplomacy has failed – meaning that only a revolutionary advanced technology will save the Earth from relentless global warming driven by greenhouse gas emissions, scientists warned yesterday.

Avoiding a catastrophic effect on climate from the burning of fossil fuels would require political will, international cooperation and huge resources, said the team from a group of American universities. But “no amount of regulation” could solve the problem, they said.

Well, yeah. Of course.

UPDATE: This story from Time says that nanotechnology is making money. And, not surprisingly, there’s investor interest.
