Environmentally speaking the melting of the Poles and Greenland is my biggest concern.
This is a sobering, realistic, and frankly grim scientific analysis of what is really going on with the melting of the North and South Pole regions, and Greenland. Dark Snow Project Chief Scientist Dr. Jason Box is interviewed byBill Maher, on the July 12, 2014 Real Time with Bill Maher Show. The doctor is moving to higher ground. Really!
Climate Scientist Dr. Jason Box with Bill Maher
That interview speaks for itself.
Like a lot of people I accept the reality of rising ocean levels. Simply because it is really happening!
According to Dr. Jason Box it is not only happening faster, but it could very well be several times higher (deeper) than the greater scientific community believes. And, he has a good track record with his indepedent predictions.
We are not talking that many decades until coastal communities around the world - which is where vast numbers of the world's population lives today - will need to have been relocated.
OF COURSE, that gargantuan construction project is not even being talked about. There is no Congressional leadership, like no Congressional leadership!
In case you were not aware of it, the melting also has resulted in far more water being retained in the atmosphere around the whole earth. That is why instead of having an inch of rain in a typical storm, we are experiencing multiple inches and terrible flooding in places where it is not at all normal.
My Crazy Thought?
Forgive me, but I must throw this out for discussion and probable initial ridicule. Of course, we are working at reducing greenhouse gases and playing around with ideas to clean the atmosphere. So, why don't we at least quickly study and put a price tag on artificially recreating the Ice Shield of the North Pole. The "solar" Ice Shield that is suppose to reflect the sun's rays and keep the ocean from warming and the Poles and Greenland from melting. I have been making some calls and Interent research on this idea, but thus far have not any related research projects.
Yes, it would be a huge and long project. Although, it would be a non-profit project, material costs might be minimized by using global Recycling, and labor costs could be controlled with an unlimited number of volunteers from around the world to build it.
It would be part of the overall global plan. If it slows, stops, reverses the melt we win. If it reduces the number and/or gives us more time to relocate so many people - great!
Just a thought. . .
