We can't afford the luxury of not solving our #climatecrisis - We have the tools to fix this - grow hemp to pull excess CO2 from the atmosphere & put more oxygen in the air.
A. Be a verb and do the research yourself - Ask -
1. How much CO2 does an acre of hemp breathe?
2. How much oxygen does an acre of hemp produce?
3. How can hemp phytoremediation help the environment?
B. Forget a carbon tax that allows the rich corporations to keep on polluting as they pass the cost onto their consumers. Make it a jail time level crime to pollute the air when there are many clean and safe alternatives available like magnetic and graphene.
C. Knowing that ice melts in a microwave oven, clean up our nuclear waste problem that has us dumping hundreds of tons of highly radioactive water a day into the ocean.
Paraphrasing another Peter McWilliams Title DO IT NOW!
What If The Polar Ice Caps Completely Melt? Extreme Sea Level Rise!
How’s the weather by you? Comfortable that the food you put on your table is safe? Do you feel good about the direction the country is going in?
We have been had, took, bamboozled, and if we don’t take our power back, we’re dead. I want to live. How about you?
The word evil is live spelled backwards. Based on results, there is evil in the White House and it’s up to We The People to clean it out. Demand truth and justice, please.
We are at the most critical time in human history. Albert Einstein said if the bees leave then man has 4 years left. The disappearing bees is a fact. The rapture is in process. It’s time for each soul to take a stand for good or evil, survival or death. Let's do what we can to survive.
We need Al Gore in the White House now. Today.
Why?
The number one issue we are dealing with is the environment. The leading environmentalist in the country is Al Gore.
In the book Richard gives chapter and verse of how to use hemp to help solve the problem of global warming. Hemp is a biomass champion that scrubs the air of the excess greenhouse gas CO2 as it grows and burns clean as biofuel four times more efficient than corn. Hemp oil can do anything fossil oil can do, only without polluting.
An additional service that hemp can serve is to supplement the upcoming food crisis because hemp is a wind pollinated plant. A 20% recreational hemp tax could finance large scale growing on unused federal land and create a slush fund to help folks out dealing with natural disasters, i.e. Katrina.
I write about Richard’s work because with all this information on how to heal our environment by reducing the cause, excess CO2, the way the government is structured, we just keep on burning overpriced toxic energy, taking toxic medicine, and killing ourselves to the beat of fear on earth.
With Bush, this solution is still illegal. Gore can restore sanity to our government and possibly our environment.
I want my president back, the one who received the most votes. Restore Gore to his rightful role. Commission John Kerry, the other elected President of the United States to serve as Vice President. These men have made their positions on the environment known. The choice is ours.
We can still have an ’08 election (or one 4 years from when Gore/Kerry is restored to President). Yet, this next year is key to our survival and to have it in the hands of George Bush is folly. The closer we are to the truth, the more freedom we have.
“The first commercial aircraft to be powered by biofuel will fly next year in what could be a significant step towards airlines reducing their oil consumption and carbon dioxide emissions.
Virgin Atlantic is to announce today that one of its 747 jumbo jets will be used to demonstrate that biofuels can power an aircraft. The project, which includes Boeing and General Electric, the engine-maker, hopes to have the “green” jumbo airborne in 2008.”
It's past time to get off of toxic energy so we can stop global warming and heal the environment. If an energy source kills us or hurts the environment, get off of it. Stop using it. Replace it with non-toxic alternatives like biofuels, solar, wind, hydro, magnetic and the like. This is not complex. It is only the greed of toxic energy that has us killing ourselves so the industry can keep getting record profits. Greed is when it's all about the dollar. It's time to be about saving our lives.
The book is about how hemp scrubs the air of the excess greenhouse gas CO2 as it grows, and burns clean as a biofuel. Davis includes a piece from the US Department Of Agriculture written in 1913 that’s all about hemp and what a wonderful plant it is, how to grow and process it, etc. He applies the successful HEMP FOR VICTORY program used in World War II to the modern problem of global warming.
A tax on recreational hemp would finance growing hemp on 20% of unused federal land and provide a bonanza of job and business ownership opportunities, fully funded. The excess funds could be used to help with the effects of global warming, i.e. some the victims of Katrina still need to be resettled.
Tain't fittin. Just tain't fittin' what 'da Bushwacker and 'da insurance companies done did to dem. We should fix that!
Looks like the book is just in time for the future. The first signs of the great shift to common sense, healing global warming, have begun. Enjoy the journey.
"Virgin plans to fly 747 on biofuel in 200824th April 2007
The first commercial aircraft to be powered by biofuel will fly next year in what could be a significant step towards airlines reducing their oil consumption and carbon dioxide emissions. Virgin Atlantic is to announce today that one of its 747 jumbo jets will be used to demonstrate that biofuels can power an aircraft. The project, which includes Boeing and General Electric, the engine-maker, hopes to have the “green” jumbo airborne in 2008.
The airline and its partners are testing up to eight biofuels to determine which is most effective at altitude. Ethanol, which is becoming an increasingly popular alternative to petrol in cars, has been rejected because it does not burn well in thin-oxygen environments.
The idea of replacing petrol with biofuel in cars is a significant trend in the car industry. Last year Ford announced a £1 billion research project to convert more of its vehicles to these new fuel sources.
However, converting an aircraft to run on biofuel was thought to be a much longer-term project and the announcement from Virgin today will surprise those in the industry who have scorned the idea.
Virgin hopes that biofuel-powered aircraft could be operating commercially within five years, which could help to cut significantly the airline industry’s carbon dioxide emissions. At present air travel contributes 2 per cent to 3 per cent of climate-change gases, but that level is increasing as the activity expands. The industry is investing in lighter aircraft and new engines to improve fuel efficiency, but biofuels could eliminate oil dependence entirely.
Sir Richard Branson, the chairman of Virgin Atlantic, launched an alternative fuels division last year, pledging the profits from his airline and trains for the next ten years.
A source close to the biofuel project said: “Everyone was saying that flying a plane with alternative energy sources was a decade away, but it is going much faster than that. The demonstration by a 747 next year will be a milestone in the airline industry’s attempts to reduce its CO2 emissions and cut its fuel bills.”
Since we all live on the earth, we each must make her a priority too.
From: A Course in Miracles, Workbook, Lesson 23, 5.1-6
"...you are not trapped in the world you see, because its cause can be changed. This change requires, first, that the cause be identified and then let go, so that it can be replaced. The first two steps in this process require your cooperation. The final one does not."
WE “ARE NOT TRAPPED IN THE WORLD WE SEE”
We can change our way of living. It's time to put down the drama and deal with the issues at hand at the level of cause and effect. Together, we can do it.
What’s true about global warming? There are excess levels of the greenhouse gas CO2 in the air, at cause for the documented heating of the earth. The glaciers are melting. The weather is changing rapidly. 80% of the adult bee population left the hives in February ’07. Einstein said we’ve got 4 years from when the bees left the hives to be on the earth. The clock is ticking and a solution to global warming is illegal...at least illegal from the perspective of the oil controlled government. I beg of you, if you are in the United States to support the Industrial Hemp Act of 2007.
“This change requires, first, that the cause be identified”
One of the main problems at cause for global warming is excess CO2. While folks argue about the source of the excess gas, science says it's affecting the planet in a not so positive way for our survival here. If you have not done so yet, please see Al Gore’s AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH.
“and then let go”
Let us let go of lifestyles that are killing us. Toxic energy and polluting the environment does not support life.
Now, stop pretending not to know there is a simple solution to reversing the effects of excess CO2 in the air. That is by removing the cause - sufficiently reducing the excess greenhouse gas, CO2.
How? HEMP. HEMP. HEMP.
My friend at the USA Hemp Museum, Richard M. Davis, has a new book, HEMP FOR VICTORY: A GLOBAL WARMING SOLUTION. It's available in both color and black&white on line at lulu.com. The book was conceived at last year's Los Angels Million Marijuana March.
Richard M. Davis is scheduled to speak at this year's Global Marijuana March, ’07 in Los Angeles, the first Saturday in May.
Richard has in his book information we need to save ourselves from the results of using toxic energy. If you are interested in doing something to save your life, and man’s existence on the world, I urge you to buy and read his book when it’s available. In the meantime, visit the USA Hemp Museum’s bio fuels room. Richard’s working on a plan to use the old HEMP FOR VICTORY program successfully run during WWII as an effort to help win the war.
Just a few things I learned from Richard's book:
1. Hemp is a bio mass champion when it comes to scrubbing the air of excess CO2 gas as it grows.
2. As a bio fuel, hemp burns clean and many power plants are already adapted to burn hemp. It can be processed to run in both diesel and automatic engines for cars, planes, trains, etc.
3. After harvest, the hemp plants can also be used for paper, wood, fabric and at least 50,000 other productive uses.
4. Since hemp is wind pollinated and not bee pollinated, it can step up as a food source to feed hungry populations, building peace on earth by reducing stress in individual lives.
We’ve made part of nature illegal, soiled her delicate balance, and wonder why we have a problem with the environment. How dare us tell nature what she can and can not grow. Actions have consequences, as do reactions.
“The first two steps in this process require your cooperation.”
Let’s take some positive actions and save ourselves. Here's a few recommendations from the book.
1. Legalize hemp, tax it at 20%. Use part of those funds to help people dealing with global warming, i.e. Hurricane Katrina victims. Use another part to finance hemp growing. Immediately make available 10-20% of un-used federal land for family farmers to grow hemp to scrub the air of excess CO2. The federal government owns about 650 million acres of land (not counting DOD) so a lot of unemployed workers could find jobs and start small businesses. Monitor the environment for maximum effectiveness.
2. Make available hemp and other alternative, clean, environmentally supportive energies like wind, solar, hydro and magnetic.
“The final one does not.”
Logic says if we reduce the cause, our part - the effect will naturally be reduced, if it's not too late already.
The nerve of man to make a plant illegal. Taint' fittin'. It just 'taint fittin'.
