Imperative 06: Let's 'drag' the world's employee masses towards climate change action!

   
    Employees and managers worldwide as large entrepreneurial groups should be our best bet for ending global warming.  Why?
    First, the problem is global and cannot be solved by mere politicians, NGOs and even world funds which are by nature too few in number and in asset capabilities.
    Second, employee masses (managers are also employees) are the real power in all economies worldwide.  Governments are such masses' mere dependents, for all State activities are funded by taxes largely paid by middle class masses (employees) and the businesses they work for.  
    Third, said masses form the profit-making sectors of corporations and thus have great influence in deciding how to use their companies' borrowed and invested assets, savings and goodwill.
    Fourth, employee masses can vote their champions into government, and even potentially form large 'internet referendum' Congresses for direct democratic rule once they persuade bottom masses to follow their lead.  As government, the masses may then channel State funds and assets towards full climate change and anti-poverty action.
    Fifth, employee masses all wish to earn high sideline incomes without leaving their jobs.  They may do it by setting up large mega co-op corporate groups the same way elites build billion-dollar conglomerates.
    Sixth, employee masses play the major roles in building, operating and expanding elites' corporate groups, hence they can do exactly the same for themselves, in the process creating jobs for bottom masses. 
    Seventh, if the world's employees all focus on building clean and green mega co-op corporate groups such as described in this blog, our planet's 700+ billion-ton atmospheric CO2 blanket will be reduced to ideal levels.  Furthermore, current industries' 40+ million-ton yearly CO2 additions to the atmosphere will be greatly reduced.  The combined reductions should bring CO2 levels back to healthy and safe rates typical of pre-industrial times.
    What institutions should be our major targets towards funding of climate change action as herein visualized?  Currently, State bureaucracies and the world's corporations have already established climate change funds worth over a hundred billion dollars.  As mega coop Movement, we should target re-channeling of such funds towards establishment of clean and green mega co-op corporate groups in tropical 3rd world countries where agro-forestry, agribusinesses and clean industries will create positive climate change effects.  
    How may we persuade skeptical governments and corporations to join our Movement?  Presently, capital and loans for climate change projects are still very limited because majority of politicians and business leaders worldwide either ignore or refuse to believe that climate change is serious.  We have to find out why, and come up with contrary truths to transform them and all other skeptics into believers in climate change action.  Next post will show how.

Imperative 10: Mega co-op corporate groups should fast-track climate change action!

    Japan pioneered corporate group formation in East Asia in 1860s to early 1900s.  To build a prosperous economy, the 1860s Japanese government imported entire steel mills, parts-making factories, defense works and other industries from USA, UK, and Germany.  Imports included engineering trainers.  Once profitable, the government sold the industries to local elites at low prices and long-term installment.  Since elite families were few, they cornered the deals, in the process creating corporate groups (zaibatsu) that numbered scores of companies per family.  The zaibatsu soon captured large chunks of the Korean, Chinese and other Pacific Rim markets, in the process lifting the Japanese masses' living standards to a great degree.      Japanese industries' need for raw materials however led to the Japanese armed forces' conquest of Pacific Rim nations from 1942 to '45.  Japan was roundly defeated and occupied by US forces in 1945, ...

Imperative 37: 16th vision: mega co-ops' electric-powered steel and alloy mills

    Technologies for smelting iron ore and magnetite sand (of which around 10% contain 60 to 66% iron) using electric furnaces are now mature, with joint venture or turnkey plants available for sale in the 1st World.  Such technologies combined with trillion-watt level power from Philippine geothermal and mini hydro sources as described in previous posts can make the Philippines a major producer of basic carbon steel (iron + 2% carbon).  Carbon steel mixed with nickel, chromium and other metals from 1% to 20%, then melted in electric furnaces produce stainless and alloy steels which may be formed by molds, sheet-making machines and machine tools into all manner of machinery parts, sheets, tubes, bars, etc.  Assembled in certain ways, such alloyed parts become factory machines, home appliances, vehicles, ships, heavy equipment, construction steel and all manner of steel-based products.  The technologies applied to the Philippines can transform the coun...

Imperative 13: We should entice world capital into the CO2 mitigation campaigns!

    Since global warming is planet scale, we have to target global scale funds from both State and private sectors to initiate and pursue climate change financing action.  Fundamentally, the world's investment and lending funds are so huge and 'expandable' that, given an attractive and practical profit-based strategy, a mere 10% of the amounts will prove more than enough to suck up most of the 700+ billion tons of Earth's atmospheric CO2 while creating jobs for five billion 3rd World poor within mere decades.  Here are recent US dollar estimates from which we can source potential 'air cleaner' financial tools, based on internet data: a) total value, world banks' and peoples' coins and banknotes: $81 trillion; b) stock shares in world stock markets: $70 trillion; c) global bonds: $100 trillion; d) global currency trades: $5 trillion per day ; e) global stock market buy/sell deals: $700 trillion during economic crises, $1.2 quadrillion and up during good t...
