"A question of survival."
Wall Street has toyed with the fact we have been in a climate crisis for decades, if not a century. Henry Ford, the maker of the auto warned of carbon dioxide emissions when he founded his car company. He believed an electric car would be prudent.

Sometime next month, (click here) SpaceX will likely try to launch the largest rocketship ever flown, known as the Starship. If successful, this flight will herald a new space age, as humanity opens the solar system. This begs the question: Will it fail or will it succeed? And if it fails, what will it mean?...
Where is everyone going? There are more and more space companies building starships all the time. Why? Where ya goin'? Escape from Earth? That is a fantasy. Interplanetary travel is far from fathomable except in a movie. If the monies, private and public, were spent on SECURING the only home humans have FIRST, the rest would be understandable and a pursuit that could be more casual and exact. But, to sacrifice the only home human beings have while racing into outer space is about as stupid as it comes.
Human beings have postponed the change needed to bring about a peaceful troposphere. So far, the polluters have won. They are still racking in profits over the very nature of Earth without even one moment of reflection as to the cost of pollution of greenhouse gases.
The graph above was issued by the "Climate Prediction Center." I hope everyone is paying attention. There are absolutely no predictions of the climate resulting in cooler than normal weather.
If the climate is not "Equal Chances" which would indicate a normal temperature range this spring and summer, then the temperatures are rising. The majority of the USA will receive higher than normal temperatures as spring and summer arrive. The increases are significant. The smallest increase in average temperature is 33 percent or a multiple of 0.33. That is not a minor change. That is somewhat catastrophic.
If an average temperature were 80 degrees Fahrenheit, then the equation would result in a temperature 24 degrees higher.
80 X 0.33 = 24 plus 80 (the norm) = 104 degrees Fahrenheit
That is the new normal, huh?
That is the new normal, huh?
Petroleum profits over life on Earth. That is what has resulted for the past 53 years. The petroleum industry has spent money, primarily to influence elections through advertisements on media services, to state the climate crisis is a lie. It isn't. It never has been.
Since 1970 there have been all kinds of obstructive behaviors in the private sector. The climate, along with guns, are the most deadly political paradigms that have ever existed. I realize the medications women look to receive from their doctors is also an unrealistic political target, but, it exists doesn't it? An entire political sector of the USA just doesn't care about life within the country's borders or on Earth. To them it is nothing but nonsense so Democrats can spend money into the coffers of their constituents. That is called corruption and not the climate crisis. Those are grossly opposite ends of the spectrum when it comes to truth telling. Corruption regarding the climate crisis was never proven and now the proof is in the column of reality.
In the video the demographics of the groups of people are believed to have been young, Caucasian and receiving education as their current profession. That was 1970. I was a sophomore in high school. I was among the demonstrators to demand action to stop polluting Earth of any kind of gas, including greenhouse gases. That was 53 years ago and I never took my eye off the ball. The predictions Wall Street laughed at in 1970 are no longer predictions, it is the truth with abundant proof.
I am a scientist. I was a science major then. There is absolutely no reason to doubt the severity of the pollution or its ramifications. Gaseous pollution kills in the way of NOX and SOX that cause acid rain. But, the particular type of danger with greenhouse gases has been more insidious to the lives of Americans.
In 1962 Rachel Carson, a great American by any measure, wrote "Silent Spring" to bring about an awakening to the dangers of rampant mishandling of chemicals in then modern society. She would die of breast cancer, but, her message is very much alive today. I would say her message along with the many scientists heralding the awakening to the dangers of high levels of greenhouse gases are more relevant today then decades ago. They were right and today there is ample proof to their warnings. Their work was vital and important and yes, would demand a major paradigm shift in economics to protect Earth's delicate balance. It is the economic paradigm shift that has been all too threatening and it is that same corrupt economic system and it's refusal to bend to the will of "what is best" that is still a danger to us all.

The message on "Earth Day 2023" is obvious. THEY WERE RIGHT. The scientists, the naturalists, the conservationists, the environmentalists were all correct in every aspect of their predictions.
I have a question. Just one.
"When will all the knowledge that brought correct predictions about the dangers to Earth's climate mean enough to change the way we think about Earth as a priority and not a political choice?"
