Reviews for Treat Climate Change, Save the Earth: How to Prevent Flooding and Drought to Slow Global Warming
“We all need to get this book, read it, and then get it into the hands of as many people as possible. This includes big business, small businesses, and most importantly local, state and federal government officials.”
“This book takes on a radical attitude towards our current crises, and is real food for thought. It moves away from the blame culture, currently so prevalent within the media, and puts forward an honestly thought out blue print for moving forward and tackling the problem of Climate Change.”
“5 stars for the sheer audacity of 1 person trying to solve the biggest environmental challenge we face!”
Have you ever been frantic with worry about your family and friends after a hurricane or wildfire destroyed their homes?
Have you worried that all that we can seem to do so far is to debate whether climate change exists, whether it's mankind's fault, and whether anything should be done about it?
Have you felt despair because while all of this debate continues, you or your family or your friends are standing waist deep in flood waters?
Perhaps you're gazing out at your crops which are withering from drought?
Perhaps you don’t feel safe drinking the water that comes out of your tap due to nearby fracking projects?
This book isn't a debate about climate change The facts described in nearly all of the global warming books takes care of doing that.
This book is about realistic solutions that can be implemented globally to treat the symptoms of climate change!
This is about a system that would enable us to act before the tragedies strike.
The system I describe in my book can help:
-Get flooding and drought under control
-Help prevent wildfires
-Begin to restore our melting glaciers
-Avert sea-level rise
-Leverage more accurate weather forecasting, and act before a storm hits
-Deliver clean water where it is desperately needed
-No longer depend only on underground sources of freshwater, allowing them to replenish themselves
-Extend humanitarian aid in a way that will help countries to support themselves instead of being forced to rely on charity
We can build a system that can help with all of these problems, and run it on its own renewable energy!
The system I've devised will take time and resources to build. But it also took time and resources to build pipelines to transport oil from the tar sands. And when those pipelines leak, the oil destroys land, kills wildlife, and cripples the livelihoods of the people living in that area!
Wouldn't it be far better to use our resources to support our population and to protect wildlife?
Wouldn't it be far better if this system can support itself with its own generated energy, and have the potential to also generate renewable energy for human use?
We're already taking steps toward increasing how much we use renewable energy. Now it is time for us to live more in harmony with our planet instead of sucking all of the resources out of it.
Ours is a rapidly growing population. Across our entire planet, humanity requires more to support itself.
Yet at the same time, we have developed enough that we can begin to support the land that support us!

Amanda Rothman has been a voracious reader since learning the alphabet, and a rabid writer soon after that. “What is the secret to writing?” she’s been asked many a time. “Vocabulary, and the willingness to bend it to one’s will and whim,” is one of her replies. “But couldn’t that make for florid and descriptive prose?” they ask. “Yes,” she answers, ironic in the brief answer. “But writing that way for a non-fiction series about treating the symptoms of climate change might make people’s heads explode,” someone else said. “Hmm. I don’t want that to happen,” she observed. And so she tried to write in a more conversational, less head-explody way. Reading and Writing has always been Amanda’s hobby. Technical Writing is her current career. Balancing these two is quite the tightrope walk. Lean too much in one direction and you’ll find yourself plunging head first into a pile of words and writing styles at war with each other, before promptly getting mowed down in the verbal crossfire.

DEDICATION
To my Father who we recently lost, and my Mother who is still with me.
To my family and friends, and Humanity sharing our planet.
To the SPS gang, and all the people who made this project a reality!
Introduction- Why Read This Book?
First of all, let me make it clear. This book is not a debate on whether climate change exists. This is a call to action!
Our world leaders are searching for a way to slow the causes of climate change.
I am writing this book to give you information about another method we can use to bring many problems under our control. An infrastructure we can build which can treat the symptoms of flooding and drought!
Have you ever had to suffer through thirst, heat waves, dying crops, or water restrictions due to a drought?
Have you ever had to slog through flooded streets, wondering how you were going to deal with the damage to your house and property?
Or worse- have you ever been frantic with worry about your family and friends after a hurricane or wildfire destroyed their homes?
Do you feel sad when hearing about severe weather which lead to thousands of tragic deaths in other countries?
Do you feel frustrated that so many people agree that something needs to be done, but few have any idea of where to start?
The discussion about whether humans have caused climate change has already been written and debated. What I’m doing for you is outlining a realistic way to take action and solve some of our largest problems.
We Need The Right Tools
There are so many people out there already doing what they can to make a difference. But their voices and ideas are only being heard by hundreds or thousands of people. It sounds like a lot, but it’s not enough to get worldwide attention.
Good ideas are being developed, but without funding and support, they aren’t used as they deserve to be.
Entrepreneurs are developing innovative ways to:
Filter and desalinate water
Create personal energy generators which use water, solar, and wind
Create new methods of dousing fires without harm to the environment
I have an idea of my own. An idea which could use many of the methods mentioned above as part of its structure. An idea which can solve many different problems on a global scale if it is taken up by world governments.
But What Can I Do, You Ask?
As I mentioned earlier, in order to gain government attention, ideas involving an undertaking this large would also need to be supported by the public.
An idea that goes viral
in a short amount of time often gains attention from world leaders. Wouldn’t it be nice for something viral to be a source of potential good news instead of something tragic, or something fun but fleeting? Information that we can use to begin to find more solutions for world problems that are slowly escalating?
What you can do is to share news about this book! Social media is of course very helpful. I will maintain a list of my accounts where I post regularly on my blog. You could join me there too; I’ll keep you up to date on any progress!
www.proactive-action.com
If you know any politicians or people in news outlets, you’d be handing them something that I’m hoping will be very helpful to them!
The solutions that I’m sharing with you in this book are those related to flood and drought.
These two symptoms are intertwined in their causes and effects. Flooding and drought can both be treated at the same time using the system I have designed.
We can work toward a common purpose whether or not we believe
in climate change.
The proactive system I have outlined in this book includes a means to:
Safeguard our water’s cleanliness, including accidents or acts of sabotage
End drought in stricken areas so our farms can flourish
Protect communities from flooding due to powerful storms
Bring wildfires under control more easily
Create enough hydroelectric energy to run this system and perhaps even to power our homes, reducing our dependence on fossil fuels and even nuclear power
Work to rebuild and restore our glaciers to prevent sea-level rise and help to lower the temperature of the oceans
Even though this proactive system will require repairs to our current infrastructure as well as new additions, this work must be done with attention paid to preserving our natural resources. Construction must be done in a way that is thoughtfully and strategically planned out.
The last thing I would want is for untouched areas to be disrupted for the sake of this project when one of the main concepts behind this project is to help nature restore itself!
The Current State of Events
Before I get into the system itself, we need to start on the same page so that we know where to go from here:
In recent years, there has been a noticeable increase in temperature and changes in weather patterns, recently put under the neat umbrella called climate change
. Some well known examples:
We are encountering a new phenomenon called Super Storms
. These storms are characterized by their larger-than-normal size and record-breaking barometric pressure despite being the remnants of earlier hurricanes. Famous examples are Super Storm Sandy in 2012 which battered the New
