I was in private solar energy business for over 20 of those years. I have followed the environmental movement from its very beginning going back to Kyoto 1972. I was never a flower child but I concurred with their motive completely.
For 40 years, the CO2 theory on global warming and its fiery controversy has been nothing short of a scandal and embarassment to science itself, but particularly to the scientific community as a whole. Our world is in a lamentable state of ignorance and despair not knowing how to find a solution to the climate change quagmire while edging closer to the abyss in acceleration with confusion, disrespect to the environment, envy and professional discourtesy to one another in the name of profit or prestige. It is a modern Dark Age that we live in.
Since August 2010, I was invited and have been blogging in Toronto Examiner.com on science topics. So far, I have submitted 13 new articles on global warming (AGW) addressed to the UN-IPCC conference set for Cancun, Mexico in December 2010 outling CO2-GHG theory as total nonsense because CO2 hides 50 Km BELOW OUR FEET. More can be seen as well in Linkedln.com on Cancun climate conference.
Unless we get serious together very soon, instead of being the responsible Earth guardian that we ought to be in passing it on to the next generations to come with pride, helpful experience and advice, we will be handing them in shame a yucky mess of problems
that we have created, having burnt up most of THEIR share of fossil fuel as if it was our private stash selfishly, and yet nothing being any wiser to help them deal with the morass confronting them. Is THAT what progress is all about ? Do we want that as our legacy ?
The unstoppable oil leak from the BP owned Deepwater Horizon oil rig under a mile of ocean in the Gulf of Mexico with its grotesque videos of gushing oil plumes over 73 days after it had burnt and sunk and still with no possible solution in sight is an everyday sore reminder of the consequence confronting us anytime we put desire ahead of prudence. Thousands of livelihoods are wiped out not to mention the devastation to millions of wildlife for decades with uncertainty of recovery at all. It was caused by man and his mistakes. How far do we intend to push the boundary ? Was that how ancient civilizations self-destructed without a trace ? Mother Nature is tolerant and forgiving up to a point, then she acts decisively with little hesitation. Those who appreciate not her largesse and take it for granted by mistake often end up losing it all.
I am retired after an ischemic stroke in 2002 and live with my family in Ottawa, the national capitol of Canada that is my adopted home.view less
