Book Description

Human population growth and wars led humanity to develop novel methods to harvest food and advance manufacturing techniques. This drove increased use of earth’s energy forms. The period from 1770 until now is known as the Advent of Mass Production. It was also the Dawn of Pollution, during when the demand and control of crude oil energy and human cupidity overcame discipline and sensibility in resource management. Waste in the forms of smog, foul air, and damage to the atmosphere and environment resulted. Finally, in 2018, extreme weather prompted scientists to sound the alarm. That sparked political panic to save earth from climate change crisis. The historic natural climate has not changed. Air pollution caused weather warming and cooling, and health problems. In the Artic, permafrost is melting releasing methane in a closed loop cycle that may be irreversible. World inhabitants will soon see weather that they have never seen before. What to do? The answer is do not politicize or over-regulate earth problems. Listen to futurist leaders who understand the science and have created solutions since Galileo (1564-1642). Develop alternate energy, capture CO2, convert methane to hydrogen, and stop polluting the globe. Most importantly educate the world before more humans join the dark clouds of pollution witnesses.
