We must create incentive for creation of clean water, energy and food.
So on the Issue of environment and climate change? That is a vast and complicated issue. Events/Conservatives-Discuss-Conservation-and-the-Environment
A conference Tuesday Jan 8th, on environment by conservation leadership council about issues on c-span covered many problems facing us in the next few decades. Much of what is addressed in this piece must be addressed in a timely fashion before it is to late. Many of our problems must be dealt with at a continental and international level. Climate change and instability in our weather are well recognized as something that does and will effect us all. We must create incentive for creation of clean water, energy and food.
This conference covers many issues, however there is a real lack of proposals and concrete time frames for dealing with the problems. We must move forward now and in a timely fashion to get ahead of this problem. We can make this a time of great opportunity if we make our government and private industry deal with this issue. You can vote with your dollars. Support earth friendly choices in everything you can with your dollars spent. Make sure to recycle. Work against elected officials that will not support this happening, and support ones that will.
The lack of vision of those people in power, or their lack of willingness to not ignore the reality of these issues must be dealt with, make them listen or get rid of them.
Here are a couple of links on this issue, one from the weather channel.

and one from Democracy Now on the Records set in the heat wave in Australia.
Some Officials are now starting to admit that this is the New Normal, or the new abnormal would be a better way to put it!
So here is a proposal on the issue of methane release in the Arctic. There are giant vents that have formed in the arctic ocean shelf. We need large ships with giant hoods on the ocean to start storing and pumping this for use. This needs to be done on land in areas that are out gassing also, to whatever degree is possible. This will be a huge engineering project, but something we can do as a serious step to break this cycle of carbon buildup and climate change. Could this be part of a remedy to a worst case scenario.
These methods will at least slow the amount going into the Biosphere. It is a better solution than the Hydro fracking that is destroying much of the water tables in other areas.
Is much of what Jim Hansen said back in 1988 mild by comparison to what we now see on the horizon. Do your elected officials even address this situation? What can you do to change this situation of to little to late, Now?
