GLOBAL WARMING SOLUTIONS

 

This website has been set up by Dr Alan Williams, a scientist and former Member of Parliament.  It gives a summary of some original ideas for harnessing solar energy using natural convection.  The proposals are theoretical and no experimental work has been conducted.  They are being publicised in the hope that individuals or organisations will decide to initiate research work to test and develop the proposals.
