A Climate Leaks Wish List



Ways and Reasons to Engage
 
Considering that Earth’s atmosphere is a closed system surrounding us, and that we actively and knowingly pump fossil fuel pollution into this closed system, then there must be a trove of government, scientific, or educational data projecting with certainty the eventual dysfunction of the atmosphere.
The life sustaining volume of air is being displaced by toxic gases and particulate.
This is an absolute, and one that certainly has been modeled, graphed, or calculated by others.

How can such a catastrophe develop? Look no further than a culture that allows its citizens to put its vehicle’s engine exhaust pipes at the far rear of their vehicle so that everyone but them has to breathe the toxic engine emissions.
Those same citizens often know, and caution one another not to run their engines in an enclosed space, such as a garage with the door closed, but they choose to ignore the fact that Earth’s atmosphere is also an enclosed space that receives the emissions of these engines.
Consider, the mountains and valleys of coal that are burned, and the many reasons it is burned. How much is actually necessary for the health of societies, versus what is burned for profit, vanity, or convenience?
These same questions must be asked of fossil fuels burned for shipping, air travel, and recreation.
Since we profess civility, and orderly forms of government, let us ask our leaders and their advisors what modes they have planned for dealing with a society coping with a climate catastrophe.

#1: What are the official protocols for informing the public that the climate will no longer be able to sustain us?

#2: What official mandate, keeps them from sounding an alarm of criticality?

#3: What sort of message do our leaders have prepared to tell their own families of the dire nature of a collapsing climate?

#4: How many leaders will take responsibility for the actions on inactions? Will some of them take the suicide route of escape? There will be no safe havens.

#5: Will the citizenry call a halt to climate collapse? Will they modify their own polluting behavior enough to stop or slow collapse? Will they petition their government and demand steps be taken before it’s too late?

#6: Where are the voices and energies of the medical professions, the religions, the educated, etc.?

These are a few questions that need to be asked, and may help us have a future.

Climate Intelligence and Security at the Highest Levels

A Photo Manipulation of Presidential Powerlessness.

AS YOUR PRESIDENT I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT YOUR SAFETY IS IMPORTANT.
NO MATTER WHAT YOUR OPINION OF CARBON EXCHANGED CAP TRADES THAT FUEL OUR ECONOMY. NOW, SURELY AS WE CALMLY DEBATE CLIMATE CHANGE, GLOBAL WARMING, AND THE AGONIZING END OF HUMANITY. AAH, NOW I'M SURE THAT WE AS SOUL SEARCHING AMERICANS CAN LOOK FORWARD TO... HEY, YOU DON'T MIND IF WE WARM OUR HANDS DO YOU? AAH, WE ARE THE BEST OF THE BEST AT WHAT WE DO, AAH, AND WHAT WE DO IS GATHER INTELLIGENCE THAT GIVES OUR NATION SECURITY. ERR, RIGHT O'SEN DI CHAIR OF INTEL?  AND NO SMIRKING AD-KE-AL, YOU GOT TWO FIRE BALLS. DAMN MY HANDS ARE COLD. SHIT! IT’S GETTING DARK TOO. AND WHY AM I SWEATING? DAMN, IT’S HOT! SAY, DI FI! YOU EVER HAVE FLASHES THIS HOT?

Once Mighty Reuters Shy of Climate Change

If fear is the unsaid driving force, then denial is its mask of ignorance.


We must ask why the reporting of Earth's collapsing climate has become so burdensome to our media.
In Reuters case the most important subject in human history is no longer being passed on to the reader. 
 David Fogarty, once Reuters climate reporter, tells us in his piece in The Baron, "From very early in 2012, I was repeatedly told that climate and environment stories were no longer a top priority for Reuters...". He says more in the article.
 This is a dark and cold commentary on a major news outlet's complicity in the withholding of information vital to the survival  its readership.
It's a known that the primary cause of climate change is caused by polluted air, just as it is known that air pollution kills millions of humans -- as this " 2 Million Deaths Yearly Worldwide Linked with Air Pollution" report tries to quantify for us.

Climate Change the Biggest Story in All of Human Existence But Doesn't Make the Front Page

Climate change is the most pressing issue ever to face humanity.  Our very existence is threatened yet you don't see it on the front page of your newspaper, and it is not mentioned on your television newscast.
The United States of America had a presidential election in 2012, yet no mention of climactic disaster was spoken of in the debates. The internet does keep the chatter of the horrors of a climate collapse but more is needed if the general public is to be engaged before absolute panic takes over.

Our Future is in Our Hands  

Climate collapse is the only possible outcome of our filling Earth's atmosphere with carbon and fossil fuel pollutants. This is an absolute and foreseeable certainty that could and should and could have been forecast and  modeled by every government, or private think tank, in the world.
There must be reams, and gigabytes of assembled data in existence that would shame our leaders, and stop the suicidally insane denying that gets much attention these days. This data must see the light of day before an eternal dark night becomes our present and our future.
