The Fantastic Solution to Global Warming

Problem: Too much CO2 in the air and conflict diamonds mined in Africa.

Solution: Draw CO2 down from warmer surface.
In cooler subterranean level, separate carbon and oxygen. Using a box of lightning, incandescent bulbs, fire, and a fusion powered pressure cooker: create diamonds under intense heat and pressure. Power the operation with captured stars, wind, solar, geothermal, and hydroelectric sources.

Pete Ippel Biography

Pete Ippel was born in Oak Park, Illinois, USA and has been surrounded by the arts since birth. He moved to Morris, Illinois in 1989 and started to participate in athletics rather than dance. After high school, Pete attended Cornell University where he attained a BA in psychology and a BFA in photo / digital art making. He continued to follow his sporting dreams in the high jump, which culminated in a school record leap of 7 feet 1/2 inch in 2001. In May 2004 he attained an MFA degree in the New Genres department of the San Francisco Art Institute. Presently Pete is a practicing artist, the residence manager for the San Francisco Ballet, a fitness professional, coaches basketball and track at University High School, and still jumps from time to time.
