Climate change proponents and their stupidity about it.
What is it at issue with "climate change" is how to manage human progress on an economy of scale level and not this nonsense of how humanity is "causing" climate change. The sheer ignorance of CC proponents about the role that our planet the Earth plays in doing its own adjustments and readjustments is as pathetic as humans who will not accept that human activity can DISRUPT the climate process.
The questions before us as a species that is tasked with stewardship over our home is as follows.
1. How to have electricity on an economy of scale level from souces of energy that leave no trace of carbon emissions or any other pollutant. This will NOT be done by throwing up some wind farms or placing solar panels everywhere-although covering every desert in solar panels and every rooftop with one would help substantially. No, it will take scientific breakthroughs, yet to emerge, that can do the equivalent of or actually do nuclear FUSION. Our modern society must have electricity to maintain its current level of living and more but the CC proponents want us back in the Stone Age about advancement.
2. How to manufacture and produce an engine propulsion system for transportation in the modern and future age. A combustion engine, if you will, that does not operate on petroleum but on a fuel source that does not emit carbon pollutants. The transition to such a transportation system will take time, probably 50-60 years to phase out all petroleum-fueled engines but it has to be done at the economy of scale level. This transition is for automobiles, airplanes, trains, ships, and only space-faring ships getting out of orbit should need such fuel as we have now but even that is up for change too.
3. Never using a system of "carbon credits." This proposal does absolutely nothing to actually address emission outputs that harms the environment. Trading a "credit" on paper to allow for political bragging rights is not going to accomplish the needed goal of ending pollution as we know it.
4. The role of the education system. A global effort to educate elementary school age children on the importance of planetary stewardship and how to achieve it while continuing the modern advancement march is essential for conditioning the human species to be as ONE on the responsibility of the planet. Then it would carry over to middle school/junior high and high school-all secondary schools as one team on this subject.
5. Ending war. This will be the single greatest challenge to management of the planet's resources. A global system of governance all grounded in the American concept of federalism to ensure that all humans get a VOICE and say for WE THE PEOPLE is the only way forward with it. Humanity as a species must rise above linguistic and genotype constructions to see and act as what we are: the sole sentient species on the planet and perhaps in the universe. The "arms race" to build, maintain and employ weapons of war are either the main reason or a major reason behind the exploitation of physical resources within our planet. How to address humanity living as one species without the need for armed conflict will do more to address climate change than anything at all in any way of what some CC proponent claims. Perhaps taking the Christmas message of "peace on Earth and goodwill towards men" seriously will actually work????
6. Ending unrestrained exploitation of the planet's resources. This goal is not about ending use of the resources from our home but how to use and manage them accordingly. We need wood, for example, so are we replanting trees? Seriously, does anyone get that the American day set aside as Arbor Day is an example of how to address impact upon the Earth? Planting trees is as essential to fixing the planet as blood is for a human being to live, yes, really. We have to have scientific advancement but how we have it it is key. Innovation, please???
7. Clean up the waterways. Our species is at a point that we must come together as one and completely clean the oceans altogether completely, get rid of of all pollutants in it including removing ships that are in it at the bottom. Then clean up all rivers, streams and lakes and realize that all bodies of water are truly "sacred ground" not to ever be polluted. The previous mindset of just "dumping" it on the ocean must change to "never dumping ever" as well as other constructs that have been justified in the name of progress and/or profit.
8. Revise capitalism. The solution is NOT "socialism" but on a proper regulated system of capitalism that will allow for a balanced approach of how to go out and earn what you want/do what you want with how there is no impact to the planet with it. This really is the goal. Too much regulation is as bad as too little, knowing what we need and doing it is key.
9. Human constructs. Getting beyond the role of language, ethnicity, gender constructs, and most importantly currency is essential to building a society that will be stewards of our planet versus exploiting it. The "identity politics" horror that is continuing to play out globally is not the way forward but is a death march to tribalism and the subsequent consequences of such thinking. Creating the only identity that matters of being a human being is our way forward or death. It is that simple. Recognizing that all SEVEN BILLION of us are created in God's image and all are equal is the sole solution to bring us together in taking care of our planet, our home.
Do the above actions and "climate change" will be nothing more than a chapter in a history textbook.
