CLIMATE CHANGERS - Any technology, vehicle or person who pursues a project of political objective designed to combat global warming, is a Climate Changer. Solar land speed contenders and long distance racers fall into this category. Well done to you all. You are helping to make the world a better place.

 

 

Most people would try and help sway our politicians and industrialists to slow down a bit and think about cooling the planet, if they could. Only a few of us get that chance, and even fewer go out on a limb to do something extraordinary, where that might mean sacrifices and a less than comfortable life.

 

On this page we give you a few examples of some extraordinary human beings who have changed the world, by doing or making something that inspires others to think differently.

CLIMATE CHANGER - On the 4th of May 2012, history was made, as Raphael Domjan, at the helm of a giant of a catamaran powered only by solar panels crossed the finishing line at Monaco to become the first electric boat to sail around the world. MS Tūranor PlanetSolar, known under the project name PlanetSolar, was (@ 2018) the largest solar-powered boat in the world. The vessel was launched on the 31st March 2010, also going into the Guinness Book of World Records. The project was mostly financed by Immo Stroeher, the owner of the boat, making him one of the great Climate Changers in our books.
