        book:  "Drawdown: The Most Comprehensive Plan Ever Proposed to
        Reverse Global Warming" (Penguin Books)</a></b><br>
    <blockquote> Publisher's blurb:  The 100 most substantive solutions
      to reverse global warming, based on meticulous research by leading
      scientists and policymakers around the world<br>
      In the face of widespread fear and apathy, an international
      coalition of researchers, professionals, and scientists have come
      together to offer a set of realistic and bold solutions to climate
      change. One hundred techniques and practices are described
      here-some are well known; some you may have never heard of. They
      range from clean energy to educating girls in lower-income
      countries to land use practices that pull carbon out of the air.
      The solutions exist, are economically viable, and communities
      throughout the world are currently enacting them with skill and
      determination. If deployed collectively on a global scale over the
      next thirty years, they represent a credible path forward, not
      just to slow the earth's warming but to reach drawdown, that point
      in time when greenhouse gases in the atmosphere peak and begin to
      decline. These measures promise cascading benefits to human
      health, security, prosperity, and well-being-giving us every
      reason to see this planetary crisis as an opportunity to create a
      just and livable world.<br>

      droughts, floods and severe weather, for instance - have
      increasingly put more people on the move.<br>
      <b>1) Environmental migration poses significant human security

    <blockquote> Bill McKibben is a mild-mannered writer and college
      professor from Vermont who has transformed himself, somewhat
      reluctantly, into one of the most outspoken critics of weak-kneed
      government action on climate change and the pernicious influence
      of the fossil fuel industry on global politics.<br>
      <b>The First Number - 2º Celsius   </b> 2 degrees Celsius is the
      magic number world leaders have agreed is the absolute most the
      earth can tolerate before cataclysmic climate change occurs.<br>
      <b>The Second Number - 565 Gigatons  </b>"Scientists estimate
      that humans can pour roughly 565 more gigatons of carbon dioxide
      into the atmosphere by mid-century and still have some reasonable
      hope of staying below two degrees. ...Things are worse than they
      appear. If the world stopped adding carbon emissions to the
      atmosphere today, the earth would continue to warm for decades.
      Since there is no chance of ending emissions, what can we expect
      going forward?<br>
      <b>The Third Number - 2,795 Gigatons</b> "The number describes the
      amount of carbon already contained in the proven coal and oil and
      gas reserves of the fossil fuel companies, and the countries that
      act like fossil fuel companies....those 2,795 gigatons of carbon
      emissions are worth about $27 trillion. Which is to say, if you
      paid attention to the scientists and kept 80 percent of it
      underground, you'd be writing off $20 trillion in assets."<br>
      <b>The Fossil Fuel Industry Is Public Enemy #1</b><br>
      Given this hard math, we need to view the fossil fuel industry in
      a new light. It has become a rogue industry, reckless like no
      other force on Earth. It is Public Enemy Number One to the
      survival of our planetary civilization."  "...these numbers make
      clear that with the fossil fuel industry, wrecking the planet is
      their business model. It's what they do."<br>
      <b>The Power Of The Koch Brothers </b>   Lurking behind the scenes
      are the Koch Brothers, whose personal fortunes - most of it made
      in the fossil fuel business - are estimated at $50 billion
      each.... "[T]hey know any system to regulate carbon would cut
      those profits, and they reportedly plan to lavish as much as $200
      million on this year's elections,"<br>

      Chamber of Commerce shows a stunning disregard for human life.
      Their position is that people only need to kick the A/C up a
      notch, using electricity obtained by burning fossil fuels. Ask
      yourself a question: If you were responsible for shortening the
      lives of millions of people while inflicting untold suffering from
      emphysema, asthma, and cancer on the survivors, what do you think
      would happen to you?   ...the phrase "depraved indifference."
      According to USLegal.com, it refers to a situation in which a
      defendant's conduct is "so wanton, so deficient in a moral sense
      of concern, so lacking in regard for the life or lives of others,
      and so blameworthy as to warrant the same criminal liability as
      that which the law imposes upon a person who intentionally causes
      a crime. Depraved indifference focuses on the risk created by the
      defendant's conduct, not the injuries actually resulting."<br>
      So, why are fossil fuel company owners and executives not in jail?<br>
      <b>The Climate Deniers Are In Control</b>   If the effects of
      burning fossil fuels are known, why are those in power
      predominately climate change deniers who insist it is a hoax
      concocted by the Chinese? That's a difficult question, but the
      answer is intimately connected to the monetary muscle the fossil
      fuel industry can bring to bear on the political process. It goes
      far beyond political advertising. It includes a network of
      so-called think tanks who dutifully report what they are paid to
      report by their benefactors - the fossil fuel industry. It
      includes major influence over alternative news channels and
      websites that are paid handsomely to spread the gospel according
      to the Koch Brothers.<br>
      The list of fake research organizations includes the Heritage
      Foundation and the Heartland Institute. Add in the American
      Petroleum Institute and the Competitive Enterprise Institute and
      dozens of others. The tentacles of the fossil fuel industry
      stretch deep into the evangelical movement as well. <br>
      <b>What Are The Options?</b>   The human race is headed for
      extinction, but no one is willing to do anything about it.
      Websites like CleanTechnica can inform us, but if the voters
      continue to elect climate deniers, we are well and truly screwed.
      There is no way to sugarcoat this. We must unite to defend
      ourselves from the brutality and inhumanity of the fossil fuel
      industry. We must put a price on carbon. We must slash the amount
      of carbon emissions going into the atmosphere.<br>
      Even if we stopped all emissions tomorrow, the warming of the
      planet would continue for decades. Our only realistic hope is to
      stop pumping the atmosphere full of carbon and find a way to
      remove some of the carbon that is already there. When talking to a
      friend recently about climate change, he shrugged and said, "We'll
      find a way to 'science it out' when we need to." That attitude is
      quite common.<br>
      Humanity has sown the seeds of its own destruction. We can't wait
      to sacrifice ourselves on the altar of greed. Perhaps the legend
      of The Flood is true and the earth we know today is really Earth
      2.0. Perhaps a million years from now, after the earth has had a
      chance to heal itself, Earth 3.0 will emerge. Maybe by then humans
      will have learned not to poison the one place in the entire
      universe that sustains them. But if history is any guide, the odds
      of that happening are not very encouraging.<br>

        released in the Arctic Ocean during a period of warming 110
        million years ago and the methane "burp" points to the
        possibility of a similar release in today's warming conditions.</div>
      "So we see this sudden and short term release of methane is
      coincident with this period of global climate warming." <br>
      'It scares me': Permafrost thaw in Canadian Arctic sign of a
      global trend<br>
      Arctic lakes melting earlier and earlier each year, recent 14-year
      study shows <br>
      Today there are still deposits of methane hydrates buried under
      the sea. There have been concerns that their thawing could cause
      runaway climate change, since methane is a powerful, though
      short-lived, greenhouse gas that could further warm the climate,
      melting ever more hydrates. <br>
      But ocean chemist David Archer from the University of Chicago does
      not believe the hydrates present such a danger. <br>
      "It's not totally clear that the bubbles are going to get out
      [into the atmosphere]," he said. "It's got a whole lot of mud to
      fight their way through where they're chemically vulnerable."<br>
      A recent review by the United States Geological Survey has a
      similar judgment, saying "most" of the methane never reaches the
      atmosphere. <br>
      Grasby says his research points to a period in the Earth's
      geologic history when warming was releasing the gas from its
      frozen state, but, like today, it's hard to say what happens next.<br>

    <blockquote> Scientists use models to show the dramatic collapse of
      the ancient ice sheet over thousands of years. Credit: University
      of Stirling.<br>
      Ice sheets are massive land-based reservoirs of frozen water. For
      the first time, scientists have reconstructed in detail the
      evolution of the last ice sheet that covered Iceland around 20,000
      years ago.<br>
      Worrying evidence<br>
      The recently published study shows the greatest changes took place
      at a time when temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere rose by
      around 3°C in just 500 years.<br>
      The maximum rate of ice loss in Iceland then was on the same scale
      seen in West Antarctica and Greenland today, providing worrying
      evidence of how climate change can dramatically alter the world's
      ice sheets, leading to rapid sea level rise.<br>
      Dr Tom Bradwell, from Stirling's Faculty of Natural Sciences,
      said: "About 22,000 years ago, the climate awoke from the last Ice
      Age, and entered a prolonged but gradual period of warming. This
      triggered the melting of the huge ice sheets that once covered
      North America and Eurasia.<br>
      "We used seafloor data to map the full extent of the last
      Icelandic ice sheet and fed this geological information into our
      ice sheet model. The new modelling experiments, driven by climate
      data from Greenland ice cores, replicate ice sheet behaviour over
      the last 35,000 years, showing when it melted the fastest and how
      it behaved.<br>

    <blockquote><font size="+1">  "Because of the GOP's abdication [on
        climate], the Obama</font><br>
      <font size="+1">administration has cobbled together a climate plan
        from legal</font><br>
      <font size="+1">authorities it could exercise without Congress's
        say-so. The result is</font><br>
      <font size="+1">an awkwardly designed and inefficient approach. A
        more reasonable</font><br>
      <font size="+1">Congress could shape a more efficient plan, with
        an eye toward sparing</font><br>
      <font size="+1">the economy gratuitous pain.</font><br>
      <font size="+1">   "Economists have known for decades how to do
        this. First, the</font><br>
      <font size="+1">government should eliminate energy subsidies of
        all kinds - for fossil</font><br>
      <font size="+1">fuels as well as renewable energy. Then Congress
        should put a</font><br>
      <font size="+1">significant tax on carbon-dioxide emissions and
        set it to rise over</font><br>
      <font size="+1">time. The resulting market forces would decide how
        the economy would</font><br>
      <font size="+1">move to a greener state. Consumers and businesses
        would have more</font><br>
      <font size="+1">reason to consider wasting less electricity,
        buying efficient</font><br>
      <font size="+1">appliances and investing in products that require
        less carbon dioxide</font><br>
      <font size="+1">to make. Generators of electricity would have an
        incentive to use</font><br>
      <font size="+1">cleaner fuels and renewable sources of energy -
        when it makes economic</font><br>
      <font size="+1">sense, not when the Environmental Protection
        Agency decides they must.</font><br>
      <font size="+1">Companies that exploit giveaway subsidy policies
        would have to compete</font><br>
      <font size="+1">fairly.</font><br>
      <font size="+1">   "Republicans, meanwhile, could return any
        revenue raised to taxpayers,</font><br>
      <font size="+1">either directly or by reducing taxes on labor, on
        corporations or in</font><br>
      <font size="+1">any manner of their choosing.</font><br>
      <font size="+1">   "The nation’s climate debate has been
        impoverished by the absence of</font><br>
      <font size="+1">responsible conservative voices. A revenue-neutral
        carbon tax is a</font><br>
