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 fo...

Imperative 05: We must prevent Earth from becoming as dead as planet Mars!

    At 6 deg.C temperature rise above pre-industrial level (17 deg.C or so), much of Earth's atmospheric oxygen will likely be lost, as its atmosphere, ballooned by heat will multiply solar stripping to extreme levels.  Seen from space, Earth's atmosphere proportionately looks as thin as an orange peel.  Earth itself is a mere dot compared to the sun and even to a solar loop.  Logically, Earth's 21% atmospheric oxygen being one of the lightest gases will be stripped first as it gets crowded out by heavier CO2 and methane while being pulled out by the space vacuum..  Earth's magnetic field will be powerless against the pull of the space vacuum along the edges of a greatly ballooned atmosphere.  Scientific studies already report reduced atmospheric oxygen levels at the current 1 deg.C rise above pre-industrial level.  Other studies report oceanic plankton populations (which produce oxygen out of CO2) already reduced by around 40% below pre-industri...

Imperative 04: Warning! Human extinction looms within decades unless we act now!

    Considering the current apathy shown by most of humanity as to the global warming issue, the current 1 deg.C average rise above pre-industrial world temperature will very likely lead to a 2 deg. rise and very quickly, onward to 6 degrees before year 2100.  What will happen during this period?  Here are the fearsome projections advanced by a great number of the world's atmospheric scientists:      1. At 2-3 deg.C rise, the following effects can only be expected:  a) increasingly acidic oceans kill off corals that form the bases of marine food chains.  Translation: more hunger for subsistence fishermen's families and less seafood for all humanity; b) streams, rivers, lakes and exposed freshwater sources evaporate to levels that create near-permanent farmland droughts that create mass hunger for worldwide poor.  Crimes, rebellions and wars for remaining irrigable land, for water sources and for food become common planet-wide; c) ever...

Imperative 03: We have to popularize global warming causes and their mass-based solutions!

    Here are more causes of continuing global warming which most of humanity are currently unaware of, and which we must therefore popularize:      1 . Human efforts at CO2 mitigation have so far yielded puny effects.   Most of humanity's current carbon mitigation action address prevention of more additions to some 700 billion tons of CO2 already in the atmosphere.  Unfortunately, such action have sequestered only a few billion tons out of such gas over the past decades.  Instead, human industries and transports keep adding some 36-40 million tons more CO2 to the atmosphere each year, thus further expanding the volume and raising the temperature of Earth's already hot water vapor blanket.       3. Heated water vapor is the principal cause of climate change tragedies.   It is the action of clouds and hot water vapor that creates the terrible climatic scourges suffered especially by billions of 3rd World poor.  On occa...

Imperative 02: We should all know why Earth is heating up!

    How did global warming come about, as the experts say?   Based on data averages from various reputable scientific organizations' studies (website sources), hordes of scientists (and now the author) envision the following cause and effect scenarios that may lead to a nightmarish end for all life on Earth within a few decades , unless appropriate action is made by all capable humans starting now:     1. Almost a trillion tons of greenhouse gases now blanket our planet.  From 1750s to present, the world's factories, power plants, steel mills, transports, etc. have used coal and hydrocarbons as fuel.  These days, their combined emissions (largely carbon dioxide or CO2) have been estimated by scientists at a low 550 billion tons to a high 1.5 trillion tons, or mid-range 720 billion tons and rising.  The heat-absorbing gases have stayed within Earth's atmosphere and will likely remain for thousands or millions of years (as in planet Mars), or disa...

Imperative 01: Time for business-based mass action to end global warming!

       A good number of the world's environmental scientists have for decades been warning peoples worldwide: if we don't end global warming, all earthly lives will likely cease to exist by year 2100 or much earlier!  Reason: Studies conducted by hundreds of scientific groups on worldwide climatic events from late 1800s to present have revealed the following: a) air temperatures over land have been rising; b) Arctic sea ice has been decreasing; c) glaciers are melting; d) sea levels are rising; e) air humidity is 'thickening'; f) surface temperatures of seas and lakes are rising; g) snow cover is decreasing; h) Earth's lower atmospheric temperature is rising; i) deep ocean currents are warming, becoming fresher, and changing directions; j) rainfall patterns are changing; k) days and periods of extreme heat are growing in number; l) the Earth's thermosphere is shrinking while its tropopause is expanding; m) atmospheric oxygen levels are going down: n) less heat ...
