Accepting Responsibility - Why is this so difficult? Money? There is no money without life.



The USA has a land mass of 3.5 million square miles

USA Population, estimate July 2007 - 301,139,947 people

Per Capita Income of the USA - $40,100 (2004 est.)

Annual Tropospheric Carbon Load as of 2006 - 5,800,000,000 metric tons

Carbon Load per Capita - 19.260 metric tons

That Carbon Load per Income Dollar per Capita - $0.0004803




China has a land mass of 3.7 million square miles. For the sake of the purpose of this 'statement of fact' the land mass of the USA and China are virtually the same.

China population, estimate July 2007 - 1,321,851,888 people

Per Capita Income of China - $5600 (2004 estimate)

Annual Tropospheric Carbon Load as of 2006 - 6,230,000,000 metric tons

Carbon Load per Capita - 4.713 metric tons

That Carbon Load per Income Dollar per Capita - $0.0008416

NOW.

While it is important China IS beginning to address it's contribution to the carbon load of Earth, the USA has YET to address it's responsibility. China, this year, has stated it is aware of it's carbon burden to Earth, but, according to George Walker Bush there is no such thing as a Carbon Load that the USA is exclusively responsible for, nor has he addressed the issue in it's entirety.

Human Induced Global Warming has been known to the USA as a potential danger for nearly half a century. The USA was aware of this danger BEFORE Nixon went to China, while George H. W. Bush was Ambassador to China. While Republicans looked the other way to the warnings of USA scientists leading the way on Human Induced Global Warming, when it would have been completely painless for the USA to stop using COAL as an energy source and to warn China of the dangers of using COAL as an energy source.

Per Duke University in the year 2003-4 there is no such thing as Clean Coal Technology because the land mass of Earth is already saturated with carbon dioxide from the overloaded troposphere.

The cost today of the carbon burden to the troposphere of Earth per income dollar is HALF in the USA than in China. Whom do you think is better prepared fiscally to stop this insanity? Do I have to answer that?

This is a graph from the EPA. The USA is the highest contributing country to Human Induced Global Warming






Mr. Bush wants to indict China in it's contributions. Click here for the carbon load for China.



Mr. Bush wants to indict other countries. Even the ones that are members of Kyoto. In this graph alone, it is noted how Russia has not increased it's carbon load but reduced it for many years now. Click here for the carbon load of Eastern Europe which includes the former Soviet states as well as Russia.



Mr. Bush wants to indict all our allies in Europe. Click here for the carbon load of Western Europe.



The ONLY indictable power causing environmental atrocities against the populous of the USA as well as other nations is the USA. George Walker Bush has political cronies that like to blame the sun (Sol) for the warming trend on Earth. These people are directly responsible for weather and climate related deaths. No one else is. Click here for the carbon load of North America.



George Walker Bush and Richard Cheney are directly responsible for the deaths and hardship of millions if not billions of people globally through the ravages of Human Induced Global Warming which includes the carbon emissions of their wars. Add to that the direct deaths caused by their illegal war and there are many reasons to indict these men for the loss of human life since their inaugurations. People in the USA have lost their lives because of the agendas of these men.

The only satellite images missing are 9PM and 12 AM. How about that? This is the most complete temperature satellite image in a while. Very nice.


Yes, indeed. George Bush and Richard 'The Dick' Cheney must have 'balls' the size of a horse in order to pull these atrocities against their own people off.

Antarctica Wind Satellite image




Noted in the 'Jet Stream' satellite image below is air mass movement from the top Blue Ice out to the East Wind Drift, which is the ocean circulation immediately surrounding Antarctica. Literally, the air mass at the top of the Blue Ice is the heaviest because this is also the coldest region. Therefore, where there is no heat transfer taking place the coldest air sinks to lower latitudes of Antarctica causing higher surface winds.



The highest winds are over WAIS which is also the location of the heat transfer from the higher altitudes. The arrival of the heat transfer vortex transferred energy to the lower latitudes as it resolves that heat transfer which came all the way from the equator.

The 'heat intrusion' is noted over WAIS.

Southern Hemisphere





The vortices in this hemisphere seem to be resolving at higher latitudes. There are a couple that have made their way to WAIS.





See, it's not the ice the heat interested in, really. The heat is interested in 'homostatic/biotic' balance. In other words, the heat will resolve to the surrounding temperatures as it moves toward the Antarctic Ice. That can occur at any latitude if the heat is met with significant amount of balance of cold air. As the sun reaches it's highest latitudes in the northern hemisphere the latitudes of the southern hemisphere have the ability to resolve 'heat transfer' from the equator without necessarily impinging on Antarctica.





That is the way it used to be before Human Induced Global Warming reduced Earth's ability to cope with global heating. Now. Today. The heat cannot resolve to a biotic balance without arriving onto the ice continent and ice ocean and degrading the biotic balance there, hence, heating the oceans and putting all life at jeopardy for the sake of Western oil economies.


To me this is simply insane. It was insane five years ago, five decades ago and it still is today. Why would supposedly civilized human beings even 'risk' the very planet balance that insures them life? Why isn't there daily briefings on the 'state of the planet' coming out of the Oval Office. The entire way The West 'handles' it's environmental emergencies is simply insufficient and ludicrous.





Bush, "But, the USA cannot participate in Kyoto, it would destroy our economy."


But, it's okay to play with the science. It's okay to endanger lives with catatrophic storms, wind, floods and now lightning. It's okay to deprive the beauty of Earth to generations of people. It's okay to ask the American people to 'sacrifice' while Bush and Cheney are 'at war.' But, it not okay to make huge leaps forward into alternative energies while stopping the chronic carbon dioxide emissions daily out of the USA. It's not okay to 'sacrifice' for the cause of preserving our planet for the well being of people alive today and those to inherit this mess. It's not okay to stop insane wars that propagate terrorists.





These entire circumstances CIVILIZED people face today is simply insane. There is no other word for the ludicrous nature of the Bush administration and it's faux priorities. Insane. Certifably.

These are the current 'webcam' pictures out of Scott Base. Anyone want to go for a drive? Good headlights are a requirement today.
