Broeker on 'fixing' carbon

Nice interview in the Smithsonian with geochemist Wallace Broeker. I can't help but agree with him that proposed solutions such as alternative energy and carbon credits are, while great ideas to pursue, are too little, too late to stem the changes in climate due to increased CO₂ emissions. With the way our economy, political landscape, and infrastructure is laid out, a change to clean, greenhouse gas free, renewable energy is decades away. And with the recent testimony of NASA's Robert Hanson (PDF link) that we have merely a year to make drastic cuts in carbon emissions... yeah, this train's a-rollin. The interview is interesting and the book should be too.
