The USA has a real problem. It is called denial.

There is absolutely no coverage about the USA PRESIDENT at the Climate Summit 2015. The ONLY coverage I have noticed between the cable networks is FOX News. The Summit was used to point to a weak president when there is a war going on.

The country has a problem and it is called denial and is definitely serves to cause ignorance to the country's problems that contribute to larger global issues. 

The denial victimizes. It victimizes Americans and the global community. The American people are not provided valid or truthful information. That is a problem. It is a problem for Americans when they vote and it is a problem for the global community when the USA operates in a bubble as if the rest of the world doesn't exist or should I state, the rest of the world doesn't matter.

Le Bourget, France — The largest gathering of world leaders (click here) in history on Monday began a multinational effort toward forging what many called the planet’s last, best hope to stave off the worst consequences of climate change.

 “Never have the stakes of an international meeting been so high, since what is at stake is the future of the planet, the future of life,” President François Hollande of France told a packed United Nations plenary session at a convention center in this suburb north of Paris.

 Over the next two weeks, 30,000 diplomats and delegates will labor to hammer out a new global pact that would, for the first time, commit nearly every country on earth to enact new policies to reduce their planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions.

 The talks were kicked off by world leaders including President Obama, President Xi Jinping of China, Prime Minister Narendra Modi of India, and President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia, as well as leaders from smaller nations and those most endangered by the effects of rising temperatures....

Want that to change? Yes? There is a way.

Stop shaking hands with Wall Street without PRE-CONDITION. 

When Wall Street wants to carry out business with countries that want more responsibility from them, then demand it. When China allows foreign investment demand environmental responsibility. The people of China suffer terribly because of coal fired power plants. China can do better, but, the demands have to be in place to bring about that Wall Street responsibility.

Don't be so eager to allow foreign investment if they aren't willing to bring about environmental stewardship. Europe needs to do it's part. Europe needs to demand best practices from foreign investment. When Wall Street has no 'easy out' globally, the problem will find solutions and Earth will once again become normalized.

The science of climate needs standardization as well. The global community is very lucky to have scientists involved in academics, too. Dr. Chris Fields is one and there many, many others, including some from Europe. Currently, there is no 'Climate Science' graduate program. The demands of such experts are vitally important. The best that happens today is a scientist devoted to learning enough science and math to actually be able to contextualize the exactness needed to bring facts, hence assessment and ultimately policy.

Climate Science has been multidisciplinary for me. Of course there is the science and math that includes biology, chemistry, geology and geography, physics, calculus as well as politics and public policy. A strong BS is more similar to a Masters achievement, but, can be reached with a great deal of diligence. The advanced degrees can then pursue vigorous research and accurate reporting including gaps of policy

One of the sciences extremely important to any degree of "Climate Science" are those that apply to phycology. The university I attended provided access to bachelor of science programs in graduate studies. It was easy to gain acceptance to my interests and was encouraged to pursue such dynamics I believe I needed to answer my questions that were not answered anywhere else.

Phycology (click here) is vital to understand the brevity of a warming Earth and the limit Earth has to adapt. It is vital to realize the difference between Earth over time as opposed to abrupt climate crisis. Advanced degrees can also specialize such as Arctic Science, Marine Ornithology, Glaciology, Ichthyology and Ocean Chemistry and balance.

Our oceans are in terrible condition. The most important property that contributes to climate stability are the oceans. Governance of the oceans has been completely absent. There are entire peoples that depend on the flourishing life of our oceans and have no priority in policy.

There is much to do and dearly little is boring.
