Carbon- Dioxide Emission Storage Sites Considered
Sunday, May 10, 2009 5:52 AM


(Source: The Times-Tribune)trackingBy Robert Swift, The Times-Tribune, Scranton, Pa.

May 10--HARRISBURG -- Depleted oil and gas wells, unmineable coal beds and salt caverns in northcentral and western Pennsylvania are likely candidates to store carbon dioxide emissions, a key step in developing clean coal technology, according to a new state report.

The report by the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources provides a fuller picture of how Pennsylvania would develop a carbon sequestration system to curb greenhouse gas emissions, and thus make coal less polluting.

Western Pennsylvania is considered a primary location for storage because 150 years of drilling for oil and natural gas there have yielded a lot of data about deep subsurface rock formations. Records are available for more than 600,000 wells.

By contrast, only 170 natural gas wells have been drilled so far in central and eastern Pennsylvania, so reliable data is scarce.

"CO2 sequestration efforts in this area are unknown and require much effort to properly assess," the study by DCNR's Bureau of Topographic and Geologic Survey said. "To evaluate the potential for geological sequestration in central and eastern Pennsylvania, detailed mapping is required."

The report generally identifies the larger sources of CO2 emissions in Pennsylvania, the industrial byproduct from burning coal that is considered a factor in global climate change. These include power plants emitting more than 100,000 tons of CO2 annually, iron and steel plants, refineries and cement plants. The largest coal-fired plants emitting from 15 million to 22 million tons of CO2 annually are in southwest Pennsylvania.

Pennsylvania is in the earliest stages of developing a system to capture C02 emissions at their source, compress and cool the gas and then transport it via pipelines for storage in underground "sinks" for thousands of years or more.

The study is important because it finds Pennsylvania has the right geology to support storing C02 underground, said Rep. Greg Vitali, D-166, Havertown, sponsor of legislation authorizing the state to "develop, own and operate" a carbon sequestration network.

A more detailed siting study is to follow. This will use remote sensing and corehole drilling to scout subsurface rock formations in eastern Pennsylvania.

Pennsylvania is competing for federal stimulus dollars available for carbon sequestration projects, an avenue supported by President Barack Obama.

Statewide environmental groups are divided on the merits of carbon sequestration. Some activists voice concerns about the hazards of storing CO2 underground.

The next DCNR study due in November will address these concerns by examining potential risks with this technology. It will look at the risk of CO2 or methane gas leakage out of reservoirs through faults, fractures and improperly plugged wells, the impact of earthquakes, contamination of groundwater and ground disturbance due to overpressuring of the reservoir.

These studies are mandated under a state law enacted last year.

U.S. ECONOMIC RECOVERY PLAN, HYDROGEN ENERGY REGENERATION AND GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE by Manfred Zysk

U.S. ECONOMIC RECOVERY PLAN, HYDROGEN ENERGY REGENERATION, GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE AND FOSSIL FUEL DEPLETION
Research by Manfred Zysk, M.E.
Updated:  May 10, 2009

1. THE U.S. ECONOMIC RECOVERY PLAN
 
Prosperity is defined as providing not only stable, affordable living conditions, but also to generate progressive annual improvements in public benefits such as free education, job opportunities, free health care, and to make the daily necessities inexpensive for all persons such as housing, clothing, energy and public utilities.  This creates an era of mass employment, productivity and consumerism to the benefit of companies and corporations alike.  If the excessive greed and profiteering is under control combined with the control over the global military and weapons merchants (presently at $1.47 trillion annually), then these vast annual amounts of money can be utilized for real public benefits, sustainability and further economic progress for all.  This plan has been e-mailed to the White House, and approximately 35 Senators and 140 Congressmen.  A few progressive senators and congressmen have so far responded.
 
True prosperity is the opposite of maximizing profiteering by the corporations and stock market operations, and the incessant global wars being waged by the military industrial complex.  The Korean War, Viet Nam War, Iraq War all have caused trillions in economic losses. The corporate attitudes of hell-bent global profiteering and exploitation can only be our demise.  Wars over world energy supply (oil) and natural resources only cause greater poverty and worse problems.  The only alternative is to resolve global conflicts with peace initiatives, and with permanent global economic cooperation plans with all countries.  Present stock market scams and the mortgage housing fraud produced a loss of $43+ trillion and massive unemployment.  Global credit debts and losses from derivatives of reselling mortgages and financial credit instruments such as Mortgage Backed Securities and Credit Default Swaps are supposed to amount to $450-$600 Trillion in debts. Instead of over-valued stock manipulation and fraudulent stock speculation schemes, all stocks have to be bought or sold at actual true face values, in order to maintain a stable and growing economy. According to a major article on March 10, 2009, he oil industry is running out of oil storage tanks, oil storage facilities and oil supertankers, and the oil industry does everything to keep oil and gasoline prices as high as possible.  To deliberately impose public hardship and economic hardships upon the people of the United States and other countries during a time of global financial crisis and economic crisis, then this is absolutely criminal in the face of previous and on-going outrageous profiteering by the oil companies and oil industry, while receiving oil depletion allowances from the United States Government.  The cost of storing the present oil glut is humongous, but the oil companies refuse to lower the price of oil and gasoline.  Because of unbridled greed, some bankrupt banks are considering of returning federal bailout funds, because new federal laws make these banks accountable to the public and government. 
 
But there is good news by solving these problems and by grasping revolutionary technological opportunities that offer long-term abundance of cheap energy without generating carbon dioxide emissions and air pollution such as my hydrogen energy regeneration processes. The importation of oil ($700 billion) can be eliminated after converting from oil or fossil fuels to hydrogen energy regeneration.  For the present, gasoline vaporization improves gasoline mileage and reduces carbon dioxide emissions until hydrogen regeneration systems are brought on line.   The oceans contain 11 percent hydrogen and would provide enough global energy supply for several hundred years and global economic expansion that is required for an expanding global population of 9 billion people within a few years.  Please see my website:  www.MZ-Energy.com. 
 
Existing coal fired electric power plants can be modified to contain all particulates, noxious gases, and waste heat can process carbon dioxide into fertilizer.  Water, carbon dioxide and lime (calcium) are the primary components for all plant life, and fertilizer can be formulated to function in a time-release effective process for 2-3+ years, or as suitable for carbon dioxide sequestration, or for new agricultural applications in desert and semi-desert areas.  Again, coal electric power plants need to be utilized until my hydrogen regeneration processes can be brought on line for use in coal electric power plants.
 
The waste heat from coal electric power plants can also be used for preheating foundries, vertical cement kilns and vertical lime kilns. Horizontal cement kilns, horizontal lime kilns, horizontal kilns for mineral processing and foundries produce very large amounts of CO2 emissions and waste heat. 
 
Another use of waste heat from coal electric power plants are drying ovens for the production of concrete panel walls for homes, apartment buildings, office buildings, schools, warehouses, manufacturing plants.  These concrete panel walls are produced from concrete with built-in vacuum chambers with colorful interior of wood grain finishes and exterior finishes and designs for all walls, the ceiling, floor, and roof such as clay tile.  This type of new concrete panel building construction reduces energy consumption by 50%+ for heating and air conditioning and provides long-term value compared to plywood panel wall construction.  Weathering and moisture surface deterioration and moisture penetration through walls is eliminated by a coating of glass-type exterior finishes.   This new type of building construction can easily outlast and double the life of present plywood and wooden beam construction, but can be produced at a saving of approximately 35% to 45%.  This will produce affordable housing as well as a more comfortable, spacious living environment.  The manufacturing cost, transportation cost and installation costs are substantially less than present construction costs, but will generate very large employment nationwide, and millions of new jobs for building new roads and all the associated services and facilities.   Half of our forests can be saved in the process.   Please see website:  www.MZ-Energy.com
 
 
2.  HYDROGEN ENERGY REGENERATION
 
My proposed Hydrogen Energy and Hydrogen Regeneration processes are the only available global energy sources in adequate quantities and volume to replace diminishing oil and fossil fuel.  Hydrogen obtained from the oceans, combined with hydrogen regeneration processes can provide adequate energy supply for most global energy needs for many centuries, and for a very promising future for the entire human race.  Presently, wars are being fought over natural resources and over oil/fossil fuel.  Hydrogen is a chemical element that cannot be consumed, destroyed or used up, and can be regenerated.  Hydrogen is the lightest gas and is the principle combustible component in oil, gasoline, natural gas, all fossil fuels, and exists in the oceans in quantities of nearly 11%, and 10% in fresh water.  Decaying vegetation and decaying vertebrates on the ocean floor and land surfaces constantly produce an abundance of hydrogen and escape into the atmosphere, and into space every day. 
 
Combining hydrogen with oxygen becomes a combustible mixture, resulting in energy such as in gasoline and natural gas.  Compressed hydrogen is very combustible and explosive, particularly when combined with other chemical reaction elements and chemical reaction components.  This hydrogen research involves atoms, molecules, isotopes and formulas for various types of requirements and applications.  When highly combustible energy is released in excess of the required energy application, then the excess energy can be utilized for regenerating the chemical reaction components for recycling in a continuous closed loop system.  Obviously the chemical composition of components would need to be easily combined (association) as well as in a separation (dissociation) process for recycling.  It is not required to obtain total or 100% separation or dissociation from the composition of chemical elements and components in the closed loop system, because a relatively small amount of contamination can be continuously disposed of during the regeneration process and discharged for further recycling later, without affecting the energy output, and by maintaining a generous amount of chemical reaction components to supply and feed the closed loop combustion process.  Depending upon the chemical reaction of elements and component formulas and composition properties, the number of recycling and regeneration requires extensive research and testing for all energy applications such as electric power plants, chemical plants, cement plants, ships, factories, hospitals, schools, trucks, automobiles, et cetera. 
 
Further details are omitted on account that my research is meant to replace depleting fossil fuel, to reduce massive global energy exploitation, and to provide an abundance of energy and a promising future for future global generations. With the active participation of everyone, we can enter a new era and future.  Therefore, my research is proprietary and contains intellectual property. My assessment of other energy resources are meant to be objective and portray a more realistic view of existing energy conditions without being overly critical, until proven otherwise.  Understandably all combined alternative energy resources are not adequate to replace oil, except hydrogen. 
 
IMPORTANT NOTIFICATION – April 10, 2009
 
If the auto industry and/or General Motors Corporation engage in illegal research of hydrogen energy regeneration processes as I have previously disclosed to the United States Government, then with the current bailout funds of the potentially bankrupt auto industry, the United States Government becomes complicit in violating intellectual property rights upon this notification.  I request that any and all research of hydrogen energy regeneration processes be discontinued and terminated.  The mismanagement of the oil industry and the automotive industry is their own downfall. 
 
The reduction of gasoline and oil consumption by doubling the mileage of cars from the vaporization of fuel for internal combustion engines, could amount to a saving of approximately $250 billion to $300+ billion annually in the United States.  Out oil consumption is reportedly over $700 billion annually.  Such great savings would reduce oil imports and can be used to reduce our debts, and would be a major stimulus for our economic, or can be used to create incentives to companies to hire several million workers.
 
Fuel cells have been researched by the Dept. of Energy and by a number of prominent companies since the 1970's.  A research engineer then told me the conversion from natural gas into hydrogen produced negative energy, and this government funded corporation went out of business many years ago.  A fuel cell design engineer informed me in 1999 that fuel cell research is not able to develop a workable product with reformulated natural gas.  Then the automobile industry believed fuel cells could produce adequate hydrogen by reprocessing natural gas, resulting into excess energy.  But obviously that proved to be impossible, and natural gas is a finite fossil fuel. Natural gas is in relatively short supply for future energy needs, and produces CO2 emissions.  The auto industry now has embarked on adding hydrogen into fuel cells, and the hydrogen is exhausted into the atmosphere after the combustion or reaction.  This is not a viable or sensible energy process for replacing fossil fuel on a global scale. 
 
Without using a little common sense, many Western Countries jumped into the bio-fuel business for an alternative to fossil fuel.  Now bio-fuel has been proven to be a large emitter of CO2, because all vegetation, plants and trees are carbon based.  Corn production is supposed to produce a large amount of ethanol fuel, and 1 acre of corn produces 5-7 barrels of oil, while 1 acre of oil shale produces 100,000 to 1 million barrels of oil according to an estimate.  Bio-fuel reduces valuable food production acreage, and global warming is expected to reduce arable agricultural land even further.  
 
Now the latest scheme is solar energy and wind energy.  The overall future global energy requirements are of such magnitude, that solar and wind cannot possibly replace existing fossil fuel, or meet future global energy needs.  Electricity is not able to provide adequate energy for cars, the transportation and trucking industry according to my analysis in 1964.  The Tesla Electric Car performance specification for a range of 220 miles on a single electrical charge (3.5 hours) and the cost of 2 cents per mile is impressive, but the performance will decrease substantially during the winter months in the Northern States in 0 degree temperatures, going uphill and driving at night on snow covered roads.  Then there is the transportation, trucking, and construction industry to consider in severe weather conditions or the farming industry during summer months.  General Motors claims that the electric car overall is not affordable to the public.  The present nationwide electric power grid is totally inadequate, and would have to be rebuilt at unbelievable costs.  An oversupply of electricity has to be produced and has to be available around the clock in addition to demands of power surges for summer air conditioning, or otherwise massive power blackouts could occur on the nationwide power grid.  To rely on the railroads for long distance transportation has various economic disadvantages for nationwide delivery of refrigerated and perishable food products.
 
Then there are others who advocate as a last resort nuclear power.  Uranium ore is finite and in relatively short supply to produce only electricity, and is not an alternative for oil or fossil fuel, even when radiation emissions could be mostly contained.  Nuclear waste remains a costly problem, and there are long-term safety problems. Nuclear power plants are not economical or cost efficient, because a typical nuclear power plant investment is paid off in 15 years before producing any profit with limited plant operating life.  Unless the radiation emissions are contained, nuclear power has little or no energy advantages for generating electricity, or to meet future energy needs.  Annual weather inversions along the Eastern Seaboard and the Great Lakes Region produce stagnant air and the radiation concentrations from nuclear power plants accumulate, which then saturate the entire food supply and can affect the health (cancer) and longevity of the population.
 
The great US coal deposit statistics include estimations, unverified coal deposits, and coal deposits that are uneconomical for mining and mechanized production.  The coal deposits are classified as Recoverable Reserves, Estimated Recoverable Reserves, Demonstrated Reserves and Identified Reserves and Undiscovered Reserves.  Unfortunately, industries and companies generate claims of false resource data and values to entice investors.  Very large coal deposits exist in the United States (273 billion tons), and the coal is mostly used in powdered (micronized) form for electric power plants and cement plants, chemicals and for fertilizer.  These US coal deposit estimates do include hypothetical or inferred estimates of too thin, too deep, or too impure to mine these coal reserves.  Coal is classified into various grades of producing heat content as in British Thermal Units (Btu) as Anthracite, Bituminous, Sub-bituminous and Lignite containing sulfur, ash and noxious gases, and produce emissions of mercury, SOx, NOx, and particulate matter.  Surface mining is the most desirable mining process, but coal contains many impurities that produce harmful air pollution.  Coal produces air pollution and large amounts of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions.  The CO2 emissions can be controlled very effectively perhaps to 85%-97%, but this is expensive.  The best disposal of CO2 would be to convert CO2, and then sell it as fertilizer.  The government and several companies spent over $10 billion on coal gasification, but have abandoned these projects for being inefficient and resulting in negative energy production.   The conversion of all coal reserves into oil for US energy consumption has been estimated to produce only 20-25 years of energy because of low coal energy content (BTU) and other factors.  The USA and Global Economy is based on continuous economic growth, population growth, and further expansion.  Therefore, the supply of global energy as well as natural resources has to be equal or more than the actual demand, or otherwise a decline in the global economy occurs. 
 
Oil shale deposits cover a surface area of 16,000 square miles and contain an estimated 1.23 to 1.8 trillion barrels of oil.   An estimate claims that 1 acre of oil shale = 100,000 to 1 million barrels of oil.  Tar sand deposits exist in very large quantities in the USA and estimates are between 12 to 19 billion barrels of oil.  These are indeed tremendous energy deposits.  Large tar sand deposits are located in Orinoco, Venezuela (1.8 Gb) and in Athabasca, Canada (1.7Gb).  But, these deposits have to be calculated in terms of economical mining, extraction and processing, because large areas have very thin seams of oil shale and tar sands.  Thin seams of oil shale and tar sands are not worth the overall expended energy and costs to produce small amounts of oil.   Other factors are the depth of deposits with large areas being 1,000 feet to 6,000 feet below the surface, including the lack of water supply in Colorado, Utah and Wyoming.  To produce 1 gallon of oil, 2-5 gallons of water are required.  Canada's oil sands contain contaminants of sulfur and carbon that are difficult to extract and also leave highly toxic tailings.  Several reports state that various environmental and pollution problems prohibit the mining and processing of oil shale and tar sands.  Oil shale and tar sands in Canada are supposed to produce 20% to 30% more carbon dioxide.  Shell Oil's in-situ retorting and processing of oil shale is very expensive and problematic. 
 
New York Times on Jan.6, 2009 – The Rand Corporation estimated that the oil from oil sands generates about 10 to 30 percent more greenhouse gases than conventional oil.  Canadian oil sands have the potential to produce the equivalent of 1.7 trillion barrels of oil. Converting the tar, which is mixed with sand, into petroleum is energy intensive and creates substantial carbon emissions.  The semisolid tar is heated with steam and separated from the sand by burning natural gas.  Additional natural gas then turns the tar into synthetic crude for further processing by refineries, which consume more energy and produce more carbon dioxide. 
 
The amount of mining, processing and overall production is work intensive and limits the output of large scale oil production to make a dent in the required national energy supply and energy demands, as has already been shown after years of research by the oil industry. Unfortunately the US government is primarily resorting to inadequate alternative energy sources such as wind and solar for producing only electricity, which then continues our economic deterioration combined with deficits and further financial complications.  To date all combined energy schemes for acquiring sufficient energy resources to replace fossil fuel are insufficient to meet future requirements.  Priorities have to be established toward maximizing economic benefits and for the employment for several million persons.  All methods of energy supplies should be evaluated on a short term and long term basis for what they are worth in the present and future to the domestic and global economy.  The only energy source to replace fossil fuel is hydrogen processed from the oceans (11%) with my proposed hydrogen regeneration processes and systems, as previously stated.  In order to minimize the effects of impending global climate change crisis, energy crisis, and economic crisis, I suggest that federal funding be allocated on a high priority basis for a R&D Fast Track 24/7 Schedule for my Gasoline Vaporization System, Hydrogen Energy Regeneration, elimination of CO2 and Air Pollution from Coal Fired Electric Power Plants, and Vacuum Chamber Concrete Housing Panels for Homes and Buildings.  For additional information on energy, global warming and climate change please see: www.MZ-Energy.com
 
 
3. GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE
 
 
UNITED NATIONS:  NEARLY 1 BILLION COULD GO HUNGRY
Associated Press – May 6, 2009
 
The number of hungry people in the world could soon hit a record 1 billion, the United Nations food aid organization said.  As a result of the recent financial crisis and other factors, if 2009 projections prove to be accurate, an additional 104 million people were likely to go hungry to approximately 1 billion people by the end of this year. 
 
 
CLIMATE CHANGE THREATENS WORLD RIVERS
By Suzanne Goldenberg, The Guardian – April 22, 2009 (condensed)
 
Some of the mightiest rivers on the planet, including the Ganges, the Niger, and the Yellow river in China, are drying up because of climate change, a study of glo9bal water ways warned.  The National Centre for Atmospheric Research in Colorado found that global warming has had a far more damaging impact on rivers than had been realized in highly populated areas were the most severely affected.  That could threaten food and water supply to millions of people.  The scientists examined recorded data of flow on 925 rivers, constituting about 73% of the world's supply of running water, from 1948-2004.  It found that climate change had an impact on about a 1/3 of the major rivers (about 308 rivers).
 
 
CLIMATE CHANGES COLORADO RIVER
By Tim Barnett and David Pierce, Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC-San Diego – April 21, 2009
 
The Colorado River system supplies water to millions of people and millions of acres of farmland, and has never experienced a delivery shortage.  Scientists at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California-San Diego say if human-caused climate change continues to make the region drier, scheduled deliveries will be missed up to 90% of the time by the middle of this century. Climate researcher, David Pierce found reductions in the runoff that feeds the Colorado River mean it could short the Southwestern U.S. states of a half-billion cubic meters (400,000 acre feet) of water per year 40% of the time by 2025.  By the later part of this century those numbers double.
 
 
CLIMATE CHANGE DISASTERS BY 2015
journalism.co.uk – April 21, 2009 (condensed)
 
A 54% increase in the number of people affected by Climate Disasters is expected by 2015.  In 6 years time the number of people affected by climate crises is projected to rise by 54 percent to 375 million people, threatening to overwhelm the humanitarian aid system, said international agency Oxfam.
 
Oxfam used the best-available data of 6,500 climate-related disasters since 1980 to project the number of people affected by climate disasters will rise by 133 million to 375 million people a year on average by 2015.  This does not include people hit by other disasters such as wars, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.  This is compounded by the political failure to address these risks.
 
 
PRESENT CLIMATE CHANGE CRISIS IN AUSTRALIA
By Julie Cart, Los Angeles Times – April 9, 2009 (condensed)
 
"Suicide is high. Depression is huge.  Families are breaking up. It's devastation.  I've got a neighbor in terrible trouble.  Found him in the paddock, sitting in his (truck), crying his eyes out.  Grown men – big, strong men.  We're holding on by the skin of our teeth.  It's desperate times."  The result of climate change?  "You'd have to have your head in the bloody sand to think otherwise."
 
Look again. Climate scientists say Australia – beset by prolonged drought and deadly bush fires in the south, monsoon flooding and mosquito-borne fevers in the north, widespread wildlife decline, economic collapse in agriculture and killer heat waves – epitomizes the "accelerated climate crisis" that global warming models have forecast.  Scientists have warned that the experience of this island continent is an early cautionary tale for the rest of the world.  The cost to Australia from climate change is going to be greater than for any developed country.  We are already starting to see it.  It's tearing apart the life-support system that gives us this world. 
 
Many here believe Australia already has a death toll directly connected to climate change:  the 173 people who died in February during the nation's worst-ever wildfires, and 200 more who died from heat the week before.  200 Melbourne residents died in a heat wave that buckled the steel skeleton on a newly constructed 400-foot Ferris wheel and warped train tracks like spaghetti.  Something is happening in Australia.  "Global Warming is no longer some future event that we don't have to worry about for decades. What we have seen in the last 2 weeks moves Australia's exposure to global warming to emergency status," said Dan Condon of the Melbourne Metropolitan Fire Brigade.
 
Like scenes from a modern Dust Bowl, mile after mile of desiccated field lie fallow, rows of shriveled trees that once bore peaches and pears are now abandoned orchards, and small businesses are shuttered, fronted by for-sale signs.  The dingy brown of the landscape rearranges in a cloud of dust with every hot wind that blows.  Farmers of once grew 60% of the nation's produce are walking off their land or selling their water rights to the state and federal government.  With rainfall in the region at lower than 50% of average for more than a decade, Australia is witnessing the collapse of its agricultural sector and the nation's ability to feed itself. 
 
Fruit growers are abandoning their orchards. It's their life's work, and it's gone to dust.  They are at their wits' end.  The small growers haven't got the money to replant.  Haven't got the time to wait 5 years for a return.  The machinery they have is not saleable.  They have thrown their arms up and walked away.  They are broken people.  The area's annual rainfall used to be 19 to 21 inches a year.  Now we're lucky to get 6 to 7 inches.  In rural Victoria, one rancher or farmer a week takes his own life.  Public health officials say hanging is the preferred method.  Hangings, they are common but they are not made public. It's really depressing, it's really tough going.
 
Meanwhile, the tropical north's rainy season, known as the Big Wet, is longer and wetter than ever.  Warming tropical waters in the Coral Sea and the Gulf of Carpentaria spawn ever more powerful cyclones, while rainfall and heat records are broken every year.  The region is beset with twin epidemics of malaria and a dangerous hemorrhagic dengue fever, from mosquitoes that breed in standing water.  Such diseases are expected to become more common in the tropics with climate change.  Most of the country is in the grip of the worst drought in more than a century, every capitol in Australia's eight states and territories is operating under considerable water restrictions. 
 
Australia is the world's largest exporter of coal and relies on it for 80% of its electricity.  Climate change researcher Chris Cocklin, who is deputy vice chancellor at James Cook University, said the power of the coal companies and the massive receipts they bring in render the industry politically untouchable.  Scientists and policymakers now agree that even drastic cuts won't halt climate changes already underway.  In response, some Australians are considering whether outback settlements should be abandoned. 
 
 
 
UN SOUNDS WARNING AFTER ANTARCTICA ICE SHELF RIPS
Paris (AFP) – April 8, 2009 (condensed)
 
The UN Environmental Programme (UNEP) said the breakaway of a Jamaica-sized ice shelf from the Antarctic Peninsula could accelerate global warming in this already vulnerable region.  The Wilkins Ice Shelf once covered around 16,000 square kilometers (6,000 sq. miles) before it began to retreat in the 1990's.  The loss of the bridge "may now allow ocean currents to wash away far more of the shelf," UNEP said.
 
In the past 50 years, temperatures have risen by 2.5 degrees Celsius (4.5 degrees Fahrenheit), around six times the global average. The loss of the ice shelf means that the glaciers that feed it may flow out straight to the sea.  In the past 20 years, Antarctica has lost seven ice shelves.  The Antarctic Peninsula has been hit with greater warming than almost any other region on Earth.
 
 
GLOBAL WARMING 'URGENT THREAT' CLINTON WARNS
Environment News Service – April 6, 2008
 
"Global Warming has already had enormous effects on our planet, and we have no time to lose in tackling this crisis," U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told the Arctic Council and the Atlantic Treaty Consultative Meeting.  Clinton said scientists are still struggling to understand the implications of these changes, "but the research made possible within the framework of the Arctic Treaty has shown us that catastrophic consequences await if we don't take action soon."  Scientists have begun debating how soon the Arctic will lose its summer ice altogether, with some saying it could happen as soon as 2015.
 
AN ANTARCTIC ICE SHELF HAS DISAPPEARED
Washington (Reuters) – April 4, 2009
 
One Antarctic ice shelf has quickly vanished, another is disappearing and glaciers are melting faster than anyone thought due to climate change, U.S. and British government researchers reported.  They said the Wordie Ice Shelf is gone and the northern part of the Larsen Ice Shelf no longer exists.  More than 3,200 square miles (8,300 sq. km) have broken off from the Larsen shelf since 1986.
 
Climate change is to blame, according to the report from the U.S. Geological  Survey and the British Antarctic Survey, available at pubs.usgs.gov/imap/2600/B.  The U.S. Interior Secretary Ken Salazar said:  "The rapid retreat of glaciers demonstrates once again the profound effects our planet is already experiencing – more rapidly than previously known – as a consequence of climate change."
 
 
ARCTIC SEA ICE MELTING FASTER THAN EXPECTED
By Randolph E. Schmid, Washington (AP) April 3, 2009 (condensed)
 
Arctic sea ice is melting so fast most of it could be gone in 30 years,  a new analysis of changing conditions in the region, using complex computer models of weather and climate, says conditions that had been forecast by the end of the century could occur much sooner.  Recent loss of sea ice during autumn 2005-2008, central Arctic surface air temperatures were greater than 5 degrees Celsius (9 degrees Fahrenheit) above what would be expected.  That amount of temperature increase had been expected by the year 2070.
 
The new report by Muyin Wang of the Joint Institute for the Study of Atmosphere and Ocean and James E. Overland of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory is published by Geophysical Research Letters. They expect the Arctic area that is covered by summer sea ice to decline from about 2.8 million square miles to 620,000 square miles within 30 years.
 
Maximum Arctic sea ice for this winter was at 5.8 million square miles on Feb. 28, 2009.  That was 278,000 square miles below the 1979-2000 average making it the fifth lowest on record.  The six lowest maximums since 1979 have all occurred in the last six years. 2008 summer minimum ice cover was 1.8 million square miles in September, second lowest only to 2007 which had a minimum of 1.65 million square miles according to the National Snow and Ice Data Center.  With less ice, the sun's warmth is instead absorbed by the open water, contributing to warmer temperatures in the water and the air. 
 
Overland and Wang combined sea-ice observations with six complex computer models used by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change to reach their conclusions.  The study was supported by the NOAA Climate Change Program Office, the Institute for the Study of the Ocean and Atmosphere and the U.S. Department of Energy.
 
 
KENYAN DROUGHT AND WILDFIRES
From Earthweek, March 28, 2009
 
3.2 million human residents are facing hunger from a protracted drought.  The drought has caused many streams and watering holes to dry up. Hundreds of thousands of flamingos and other species of wildlife across Kenya were on the run from 5 separate wildfires, but small animals may not have been able to escape.
 
 
AUSTRALIANS FACE CLIMATE CHANGE RELOCATION
By Phil Mercer, Sydney, Australia, Voice of America, – March 24, 2009
 
The Australian Pascoe Conservation Foundation states:  "Australia is one of the most vulnerable countries to climate change, because of things like our coastal areas and our reliance on the Murray-Darling basin for our agricultural production.  We really are on the frontline of climate change but we're also one of the countries that has some of the best opportunities to succeed and do well and grow green-collar jobs and green-collar businesses, if we do take strong action."
 
 
MOST AMERICANS WANT GLOBAL WARMING CUTS
Market Watch and UPI – March 23, 2009
 
A national survey by researchers of Yale and George Mason University say that more than 90% of U.S. citizens support government action to reduce global warming despite the current economic crisis.  "The United States should act to reduce its own emissions regardless of what other countries do."
 
AMERICAN DROUGHT
Earth Environment Service – March 21, 2009
 
The U.S. weather agency NOAA warned that the first two months of 2009 have brought the driest start of any year nationwide since keeping records began in 1895.  The Nationally Interagency Fire Center in Boise has logged 11,814 wildfires so far this year – the most for any two-month period in a decade and nearly 3,700 more than average.  Ranchers in Texas have been forced to sell their cattle because fields are too parched to feed them.  Roughly 3,400 wildfires have burned in Texas since the beginning of the year.
 
 
NEW GLOOMY FINDINGS ON GLOBAL WARMING
By Martin Khor, Global Trend – March 16, 2009
 
Scientists in Copenhagen said that global warming is increasing beyond the worst forecasts, threatening to trigger irreversible shifts on the Earth's environment, and resulting in social conflict and war in much of the world.  Warning that "dangerous climate change" is imminent and there is "no excuse for inaction."  The reason that emissions are growing faster is that the absorption capacity of the planet is less, the probability of high temperatures is likely higher, and some of the effects are coming faster than we thought.
 
A 6 degree C rise in temperature is possible which could cause massive rises in sea levels, devastation by hurricanes, and large deserts forcing billions of people to leave their homes.  Much of Europe would look like the Sahara; many of the World's major rivers would dry up in the dry season.  Hundreds of millions or probably billions would have to move, and the implications of that is "extended conflict, social disruption, war essentially over much of the world for many decades."  But this horror story is from the best scenario, that global emissions will peak in 2015 and then decrease significantly from then, while in fact emissions are presently still rising.  The current world recession could cause greenhouse gas emissions to drop by 40%-50% according to one estimate.  No data is given on the severity of the world recession and overall economic implications.
 
 
AMAZON COULD SHRINK BY 85%, SCIENTISTS SAY
David Adam-Copenhagen, guardian.co.uk – March 11, 2009
 
Scientists say 4 degrees Centigrade (7 degrees Fahrenheit) rise would kill 85% of the Amazon rainforest.  The forest as we know it would effectively be gone.  A 3 degrees Centigrade (5 degrees Fahrenheit) would kill 75%.  Even moderate temperature rise would see 20-40% loss with 100 years.  A devastating new study predicts that one-third of its trees will be killed by even modest temperature rise.
 
 
CLIMATE CHANGE COSTLY TO BE FOR WAHINGTON RESIDENTS
By Katie Baird, Peter Dorman, Hart Hodges, The Olympian – March 12, 2009
 
A climate research team in Washington State provided a conservative and inconclusive report that climate change might cost $3.8 billion annually by 2020, or more than 2 percent of current median household income.  These costs rise to more than $6.5 billion in 2040 and to $12.9 billion by 2080.  The research team assessed only the costs of climate change related flood and storm damage, changes in food production, increased wild fires, health and energy related expenditures.  The numbers in the report suggest that not acting could be very, very costly.
 
 
CALIFORNIA'S CLIMATE CHANGE BILL COULD TOP $100 BILLION
Peter N. Spotts, Christian, Science Monitor – March 11, 2009
 
At least $100 billion worth of homes, businesses and power plants, ports and airports could be at risk from extreme coastal storms to some 480,000 people living in coastal counties by 2010, per the Scripps Institution of Oceanography.  Shoring up levies and sea walls along the coast are estimated at a $14 billion investment, with an annual maintenance bill of $1.5 billion a year.
 
SENATOR JOHN KERRY - March 13, 2009:  No action on Climate Change is a 'suicide pact.'
 
 
U.S. HOUSE ENERGY COMMITTEE
By Katherine Skiba, Amanda Rugari, U.S. News – March 11, 2009
 
The House Energy Committee Chair Henry A. Waxman warns, "If America doesn't act, the country will pay a hefty price in terms of health, the environment, national security, and global instability.  We're more and more suffering the consequences of global warming and climate change, which scientists tell us could be irreversible if we don't take very serious action now."
 
There is bad news depicting present conditions, and good news that can significantly improve Global Climate Change and can produce an abundance of Global Energy Supply for the Global Economy for a survivable global future. 
 
The latest information from the Met Office, Worlds leading environmental and weather services in England that floods caused 3 billion pounds of damage in 2007.  People in water stressed areas are estimated to be 5 billion by 2050.  Rising seas could threaten 10% of world population or 600 million people by 2100.  30% of animals face extinction by 2100.  Desert now covers 1/3 of the global land area, and large areas are already facing drought conditions.  Global Climate Change is expected to affect every facet of every human life. 
 
 
GLOBAL ECONOMIC RECESSION DID NOT REDUCE 2008 CLIMATE CHANGE
By Thomas Conway, Climate Scientist, NOAA - February 28, 2009
 
The recent global economic recession did not reduce the rate of carbon dioxide emissions entering the atmosphere, and actually accelerated in 2008 according to a U.S. report.  Some analysts had predicted the recession would bring a 2 percent reduction in developed nations' greenhouse gas emissions.  It would take a large drop in emissions in the atmosphere, before an impact becomes visible, but it very clearly has not happened according from this data. 
 
 
SEVERE DROUGHT IN TEXAS
Associate Press – February 28, 2009
 
Texas is experiencing one of the worst droughts since 1918.  If expected rains do not come in May and June, the cost to agriculture could be enormous to the State of Texas.  Except for a few counties in the northeast of the state, most of Texas is in a severe drought situation. 
 
Thanks to corporate greed and religious fanaticism, the United States is slowly being strangled economically by inaction to curb greed and exploitation which manifest into bankruptcies, mass unemployment, poverty and a virtual global economic collapse.  The most viable and important economic sectors are being neglected in favor of greater killing machines, torture and disastrous wars.  Very few historical events can rival the stupidity the United States Government has undertaken in the last 50 years with policies of global containment with military power on a global scale.   We, as the largest weapons producer and weapons purveyor in the world, we find that these weapons are ultimately being aimed against ourselves by generating catastrophic world events.  We can stop looking for enemies, because we have become our own enemies if we continue to steal, rob, cheat and kill the people of other countries for their natural resources and/or for global economic domination.  The world is proving that our economic domination is intolerable, and the continents have been forming the European Union, the Union of South America, the African Union, Arab Economic Union, Union of Asian countries (ASEAN), Caribbean Economic Union and Mediterranean Union. 
 
We have to be aware that we are entering a point of dire economic consequences of global proportions.  President Barack Obama said: "Yes, We Can," to solve the problems that have plagued this country for so long, then this government needs to do their part in the national interest, and global interest as well.   The majorities of countries consistently ask and demand that the United States of America join the rest of the world in solving global problems, instead of threatening the rest of the world with nuclear weapons, destruction and 100 years of war.  Instead of containing, dominating, strangling and controlling the world economy, it is most beneficial to the United States to foster freedom and democracy by employing our human potential and financial resources to resolve global problems for a satisfactory future.  The most important global problems are to limit and resolve the effects of global climate change, to develop an abundance of affordable energy, and to utilize remaining global natural resources for peaceful purposes.  With a little effort, all this can be made to work toward a prosperous new era for the United States and the world.
 
 
PROOF OF CLIMATE CHANGE BY IPCC
By Julia Ritchey, Washington D.C., Voice of America February 26, 2009
 
The chairman of the IPCC, R.K. Pachauri, said 11 of the last 12 years were among the warmest for global surface temperature in recorded history, in testimony before a U.S. Senate Committee.  "In Africa, for instance, by 2020 our projections show that 75 to 250 million people would be affected by water stress on account of climate change, and crop revenues could drop very rapidly," said R.K Pachauri.  "We are really causing major distortions and disparities in economic development and growth throughout the world."
 
 
ARCTIC AND ANTARCTIC WARMING FASTER
By Marian Wilkinson, Environment Editor, FairFax Digital – February 26, 2009
 
A Two-Year research effort by the world's leading scientists has uncovered evidence of global warming's widespread effect.  Snow and ice continue to decline in the Arctic and parts of Antarctic, affecting worldwide sea-level rise and weather patterns, as well as human, animal and plant life.  Global warming threatens to raise sea levels worldwide and force millions of people to flee low-lying areas.  The findings of a global research project involved 60 nations, and confirmed that warming in Antarctica is increasing than was previously known, and the rate of ice loss from Antarctica and Greenland was increasing. 
 
Antarctica warming data from satellites and weather stations confirmed that in the past 50 years, warming increased at the same rate as the rest of the planet.  The West Antarctic Peninsula temperatures warmed more rapidly by 2.5 degrees in 50 years and ice loss increased 140 percent in the last 10 years.  The new research warns that greenhouse emissions could rapidly increase in the Arctic.  The Arctic contains large amounts of greenhouse gas that has been locked in permafrost and below the Arctic Ocean.   The IPCC told US Senate lawmakers in Washington that the Earth has about six more (6) years at current rates of carbon dioxide pollution before it is locked into a future of severe global warming.   Condensed version.
 
 
RUSSIA:  GLOBAL WARMING TO CAUSE DROUGHTS, FLOODS
By Mike Eckel – ASSOCIATED PRESS – FEBRUARY 18, 2009
 
MOSKOW (AP) – Russia will likely see more forest fires, droughts and floods in the coming century due to global warming, and policy makers need to prepare for large-scale change, scientists warned in a report released on February 18, 2009 by the Federal Service for Hydrometeorology and Environmental Monitoring.  In the second half of the 20th century, winter snow cover decreased in Siberia and the Far Eastern region of Chukotka. 
 
Over the past 100 years, air temperatures in Russia warmed by around 2.33 degrees F. (1.29 degrees C.), compared with 1.3 F (0.74 C.) globally.  Soil temperatures in parts of western Siberia long known for permafrost have climbed by 1.8 F. (1.0 C) in the last 25 years of the last century, and Arctic ice cover has decreased steadily in the past two (2) decades.  Global Warming would benefit the Russian agriculture, but also produce flooding, droughts and fires.  The receding Arctic ice cover has been watched with particular attention by Russia, which fears competition for the vast region's resources of oil, gas and minerals from nations such as Canada, the United States, Norway and Denmark. 
 
 
SEQUESTRATION OF CO2 ONTO OCEAN BOTTOM CAN BE HAZARDOUS
 
The ocean sediment contains already 400 gigatons of methane on the ocean floor.  If carbon dioxide is deposited onto the ocean floor as a means of sequestration in large quantities, then the expected turbulence from global weather changes of winds currents, hurricanes, typhoons and ocean water currents would churn the CO2 onto the ocean surface and release the CO2 into the atmosphere and could have an effect upon the existing methane on the ocean floor. 
 
 
CLIMATE WARMING GASES RISING FASTER THAN EXPECTED
By Randolph E. Schmid, Associated Press – February 14, 2009
 
Humans are adding carbon to the atmosphere even faster than in the 1990s researchers warned February 14, 2009.  Industrial greenhouse gas emissions have increased more quickly than expected and higher temperatures are triggering self-reinforcing feedback mechanisms in global ecosystems, scientists said.  Unexpected large amounts of carbon dioxide are being released into the atmosphere as the result of "feedback loops" that are speeding up natural processes.    Carbon emissions have been growing at 3.5 percent per year since 2000, up sharply from the 0.9 percent per year in the 1990s, per Christopher Field of the Carnegie Institution for Science told the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.  "It is now outside the entire envelope of possibilities" considered in the 2007 report of the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).  No part of the world had a decline in emissions from 2000 to 2008. 
 
 
The climate is heating up much faster than scientists had predicted, with sharp increases in greenhouse gas emissions from developing countries like China and India.  Recent studies suggested the continued warming of the planet from greenhouse gas emissions could touch off large, destructive wildfires in tropical rain forests and melt permafrost in the Arctic tundra, releasing billions of tons of greenhouse gases that could raise global temperatures even more.  Evidence indicates higher temperatures are beginning to melt the arctic permafrost, which could release hundreds of billions of tons of carbon and methane into the atmosphere.  The permafrost holds 1 trillion tons of carbon.
 
 
CLIMATE CHANGE TO HAVE MANY IMPACTS ON WASHINGTON
Warren Cornwall, Environment Reporter, Seattle Times – February 11, 2009
 
This new report by the University of Washington (64 scientists), was funded by the state of Washington Legislature.  The Washington State is in for a double whammy from global warming from significant loss of summer electricity from hydro-electric dams of 16 percent by 2040, and forest fires in Idaho, Washington, Oregon and Montana could range from 425,000 acres per year to 800,000 acres in the 2020s, and 2 million acres annually in the 2080s, including population growth.
 
But some crops, notably winter wheat could increase by 24 percent by warmer winters, and warmer winters could reduce electricity consumption.  Annual temperatures are expected to rise annually by 2040 to 3.5 degrees Fahrenheit and by 5.9 degrees by 2080 compared with averaged temperatures from 1970 to 1999. 
 
Governor Chris Gregoire lobbies the Legislature for new regulations to cut greenhouse gas emissions, but is met with strong opposition from business groups and some lawmakers.  Mr. John Harrison of the Northwest Power Planning Council:  "We're looking into creative solutions, but there isn't any magic solution at the moment."  This article is condensed.
 
Washington and Oregon are known for substantial rainfall, but now are concerned about their water supply and drought conditions in large parts of their agricultural areas.  Any nationwide plans for new nuclear power plants can expect much lower water supply for the cooling towers.  This will limit nuclear power construction particularly in the Midwest and Southern States.
 
 
US GLACIERS ARE DISAPPEARING
Eric Newhouse, Great Falls Tribune.com – February 9, 2009
 
Glacier National Park in Montana has 25 glaciers left. In 1850 there were 150 glaciers.  Temperatures have gone up at higher elevations 2 or 3 times more than global warming would suggest.  Western Montana weather stations found a 2.79-degree increase in the average daily high temperatures since records were first kept in 1892, per Mr. Dan Fagre, ecologist at U.S. Geological Survey.  The Grinnell Glacier has lost 400 to 500 feet of its ice depth, has shrunk to about 28 percent of its original size and has lost 90 percent of its ice mass. "Most of our major glaciers are only a quarter of what they had been," per Dan Fagre, and scientists at USGS website show pictures of receding and vanishing glaciers.  Condensed from article: "Climate change most affecting the mountains."
 
The Washington State mountain snowpack is about 82 percent of normal across Washington, thanks to little snow in the past month, a federal water supply expert said on February 10, 2009.  The snowpack this season has been manic and as erratic as any I have seen in my 16 years measuring and monitoring conditions said Scott Pattee, a specialist with U.S. Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service.  About 70 percent of the state depends on melting mountain snow to fill rivers and streams for municipal, agricultural and recreational use.  The agency forecasts water supply based on the depth and water content of snow at more than 100 snow data collection sites throughout the state. 
 
 
FOOD CRISIS IS GLOBAL WARMING'S BIGGEST THREAT
Seattle Times Jan. 9, 2009, by University of Washington & Stanford Scientists.
 
By the end of this century, the odds are higher than 90 percent that average temperatures during the growing season will be higher than ever before in recorded history across a big swath of the planet, says the analysis published today in the journal Science.  The hardest –hit areas will be the tropics and subtropics, which encompass about half the world's population and include Africa, the southern United States, and much of India China and South America.
 
"We are headed for a completely out-of-bounds situation for growing food crops in the future," said report co-author Rosamond Naylor, director of Stanford's Program on Food Security and the Environment.  With average growing-season temperatures expected to rise more than 6 degrees Fahrenheit, crop yields will fall 20 to 40 percent, the report estimates.
 
The above research only covers an expected Global Food Crisis that is caused by weather changes and Global Climate Change, and does not include continued population growth, the global fossil fuel energy crisis and resulting global economic deterioration. 
 
 
INDIA'S WHEAT YIELD STAGNENT DUE TO GLOBAL WARMING
THE HINDU NEWS – February 4, 2009
 
New Delhi (IANS):  India's wheat production has stagnated in the last 10-15 years and scientists have told the government this is due to climate change, Minister of State for Power Jairam Ramesh said.  "The scientists told us that the mean and maximum temperatures in north India have gone up by 1-1.5 degrees Celsius (1.8-2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) in February, which is the crucial month for deciding how good the wheat yield will be," Ramesh said.  Pointing out that India was already facing huge problems in areas like water and agriculture, Ramesh said: "Domestic imperatives would force us to look at the climate change far more seriously than we have."
 
 
STUDY:  CARBON DIOXIDE EFFECTS ALL BUT IRREVERSIBLE
Article by Thomas H. Maugh II – LA Times and Washington Post 1/26/2009
 
Climate Change gases already emitted may affect the planet for 1,000 years.  The gas that is already there and the heat that has been absorbed by the ocean will exert their effects for centuries, according to the analysis, published 1/26/2009 by the National Academy of Sciences.  Long range warming will melt the polar icecaps more than previously estimated, raising ocean levels substantially, and changes in rainfall patterns will bring droughts comparable to the 1930s Dust Bowl to the America Southwest, Southern Europe, Northern Africa and Western Australia.  Susan Solomon, Sr. Scientist at National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration with colleagues in Switzerland and France stated "The (climate) changes will persist until at least the year 3000."  Kevin Trenberth, Dir. of Climate Analysis at National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder Colo. said:  "We need to act sooner, because by the time the public and policymakers really realize the (climate) changes are here, it is too late to do anything about it."  Jorge Sarmiento, Geoscientist at Princeton University said:  "This is really a wake-up call about the seriousness of this issue."
 
 
Spiegel Online – 12/04/2008:  POINT OF NO RETURN FOR THE ARCTIC CLIMATE
 
U.S. National Snow and Ice Center:  From 1990's to Sept. 2007 the Arctic sea ice is reduced by 40% and is now half as large as Europe. Water temperatures in the Bering Sea between Alaska and eastern Siberia were 5 degrees Celsius (9 degrees Fahrenheit) higher than average - - warmer than ever.
 
 
Point of No Return:  A team of U.S.A., Norwegian and German researchers provide some clues.  The study based upon impenetrable calculations contains a frightening possibility:  climate change in the Arctic could already have passed the point of no return. Researchers have warned of "tipping points," and beyond could mean irreversible developments for eco-systems and humanity, such as the Arctic being ice-free during the summer months.  "In the case of Arctic Sea ice, we have already reached the point of no return," according to Mr. James Hansen of NASA.  
 
 
LAKE COUNTY NEWS – CHRONICLE – February 5, 2009
 
Mr. Will Steger, a polar explorer to the Arctic and Antarctic states:  "Having traveled for 45 years in the Arctic, what I have seen the last 15 years is shocking.  We need to finally face up to the fact that we have an issue here and we need to get back to solutions," Steger said. His presentation included images of his trip showing a Minnesota-sized section of ice they crossed has recently broken off and drifted into the ocean.
 
 
ICE ALERT:  ANTARCTICA NOT COOLING – SKY NEWS – JAN. 21, 2009
 
Fears are mounting for melting ice in Antarctica.  The British Antarctic Survey checked the melting of the Wilkins ice shelf.  Just 50 years ago, the ice shelf was 100 km (62 miles) wide, but the team were shocked to discover it is now held in place by a strip of ice only 500 meters (3/4 miles) wide at its narrowest point and said that could collapse within days.  Once that happens, sea currents are likely to sweep away the rest.  Wilkins will be the tenth Antarctic ice shelf to vanish into the sea in half a century.  Some had been in place for 10,000 years.  Most climate scientists say the new Antarctic research is just the latest sign that global warming is happening more severely – and quickly – than many thought.
 
Warm air from the Pacific Ocean now move into the Arctic Ocean in very large volumes in the summer of 2007.  Mr. James Overland at Pacific Marine Environmental Labs in Seattle states that if the disappearance of Arctic ice as was observed in 2007 continues in 2008 and beyond, then the ice cap becomes so small that it will not be able to survive the warm summer months.  A similar "dipolar" pattern existed in the 1930s when warm air from the North Atlantic pushed into the Arctic up to the North Latitude of 75 degrees, but today, the heat spreads through the entire Arctic.  The sudden rise in temperatures in the Arctic is much faster than the climate models indicate, and the greenhouse gas emissions and the resulting Earth atmosphere are not enough to explain this phenomenon.
 
 
My explanation is: "The present snow storms and cold weather systems that are pushed into the United States and Europe are because of the large amounts of warm air from the Pacific Ocean being pushed into the Arctic which are then cooled, and converted (condensed) into moisture, and eventually forced to move southward.  The Bering Sea is now 5 degrees Celsius (9 degrees Fahrenheit) warmer than average.  Continuous generated warm air pressure and moisture keeps pushing the cooled Arctic weather southward, which can result into large snowstorms and blizzards.  This is identical or very similar as the circular water flow pattern of the Atlantic Gulf Stream and the Pacific Ocean Currents.  Sufficient heat energy and moisture will force large cold fronts from the Arctic very far southward, including into New Orleans, Mexico and into Southern Europe.  A thinner ozone layer is increasingly heating the global tropical equatorial region and the Earth rotation distributes the generated heat from Africa across the Atlantic Ocean into Central America, and then into the Pacific Ocean and Indonesia to form a continuous heat belt that drives the ocean currents in the Atlantic and the Pacific. 
 
This equatorial heat belt is functioning very much like an electric motor driving two (2) major conveyor belts.   The conveyor belts are the Atlantic Gulf Stream and the Pacific Ocean Currents.  The big problem is that the warm Pacific air, as well as the warm Pacific Ocean water current now is melting the Arctic ice at an accelerating rate.  The same problem is occurring in the Atlantic Ocean with large ice losses in Greenland.  The volume of warm Atlantic and Pacific air currents moving into the Arctic region can be observed, measured, and the effects monitored according to present atmospheric and sudden climate changes.  The warm Atlantic and Pacific air currents (jet stream) and warm Atlantic and Pacific Ocean water flow require careful monitoring, and it is becoming rather alarming.  How can this equatorial heat belt be slowed down or maybe stopped?   
 
 
THE BIG MELT:  2 TRILLION TONS SINCE 2003
The Associated Press – Washington  -  Dec. 17, 2008
 
More than 2 trillion tons of land ice has melted in Greenland, Antarctic and the Arctic since 2003 according to NASA satellite data. That is an average of 400 billion tons per year.  To date the Alaska 2008 land ice increased slightly because of large winter snowfalls, and since 2003, Alaska has lost 400 billion tons of land ice.  Jay Zwally at NASA:  "It's not getting better; it's continuing to show strong signs of warming and amplification.  There is no reversal taking place."  Parts of north of Alaska were 9 to 10 degrees warmer this fall. The loss of Arctic ice has raised autumn air temperatures by 6 to 10 degrees higher than in the 1980s.  The pace of change is starting to outstrip our ability to keep up, in terms of understanding of it, per Mr. Mark Serrize, Sr. Scientist at Boulder Data Center.  Frozen methane in lakebeds and sea bottoms in Siberia are bubbling to the surface in alarming amounts.
 
The article Brown Cloud Hazards below was published by the Oregonian on 11/26/2008, and it is an example of ongoing serious climate changes.  Vast clouds of air pollution are darkening the skies in many parts of Asia, melting glaciers and posing a threat to the health of millions in the region, according to a new United Nations report.  The "atmospheric brown clouds" (ABC) result from the burning of fossil fuels, wood and plants.  They have been found to amplify the impact of climate change brought on by greenhouse gas emissions, the U.N. Environment Program report said.  The 10,000-foot-thick layer of soot and industrial pollution has been observed stretching from the Arabian Peninsula to China and the islands of the western Pacific.  The Atmospheric Brown Clouds (ABC) makes the skies in at least 13 major Asian cities up to 25 percent dimmer and contributes to public health hazards, the report says.  Some researchers involved in the study said they were concerned the diminished sunlight could threaten agricultural production for 3 billion people in the region.
 
 
PACIFIC NORTHWEST TREE DEATH – Jan. 23, 2009
 
A team of researchers has concluded that death rates for conifer trees in old growth forests are up across the West.  The researchers ruled out insect attack, fire suppression, forest overcrowding, air pollution and other potential local causes in the study areas, which include some of the West's most stable and resilient tree stands.  Instead they pinned the increase in tree deaths on a small – about one (1) degree Fahrenheit – rise in regional temperatures in the past 30 years.  The level of confidence that there is a shift in tree mortality that has occurred in the last 30 to 40 years is pretty strong.  There is something going on.
 
In the Pacific Northwest and Southern British Columbia, the rate of tree death in the older coniferous forests doubled in 17 years, the fastest rate among the 76 areas studied.  Mortality rates doubled in 25 years in California and 29 years in interior Western states, the researchers said.  The researchers, led by scientists from the U.S. Geological Survey, based their findings on long-term tree inventories at 76 undisturbed sites across the West, most with 30 to 50 years of data.  The plots including several in national parks contained 58,736 living trees over the study period, of which 11,095 died.  Had the mortality rates stayed constant, about 5,500 fewer trees would have died.
 
Other reports show fossil fuel pollution is crossing the Pacific Ocean into the Western United States and Canada, and soon will affect the forests and agriculture of the United States, including Canada.  If affective climate change measures are not taken very soon, then the U.S. and many other countries will experience major economic and environmental consequences.  Global aviation produced 145 million metric tons of carbon in 1996, or about 2.4 percent of all human-generated carbon emissions, per IPCC.  NASA:  Persistent jet contrails cause climate change.  See:  oregonskywatch.com, Los Angeles Sky Watch, New York Sky Watch, Arizona Sky Watch, Oakland Sky Watch, Missouri Sky Watch, California/Bakersfield Sky Watch and Ontario Weather Service.
 
The cool global temperatures during the last several months from September-November of 2008 are attributed to the melting of ice caps, ice shelves in Antarctica, Greenland and mountain glaciers worldwide.  Ocean sea water levels are rising substantially, and the present trend could have disastrous impacts upon millions of people in low lying coastal areas.   The National Centers of Space Studies in France used two (2) new satellite-based observations and gravity measurements of the Earth.  They  found that the Greenland ice sheet alone is losing about 150 gigatons of ice each year, which, when combined with global melting ice, including West Antarctica, causes the oceans to cool, and is cooling our present unseasonal global weather.  This appears to make sense, but this is not good news.
 
2006 Greenland ice sheet melted at about 195 cubic kilometers (46.7 cubic miles) per year according to U.S. satellite between 2003 -2008.  Present CO2 volume in Greenland is 385 ppm.  Greenland previously used to be ice-free at 400 parts per million.
 
The Himalayan glaciers receded by 66 feet in 2007 and could disappear in 30 years from Kolhai in Kashmir due to climate change.  The Chinese Academy of Sciences discloses that at current rates of retreat the Himalayan glaciers could shrink by 75% by 2050.  These glaciers are the source of water for billions of people in China, India and Pakistan.
 
August 16, 2008 – The latest information from National Snow and Ice Center (NSIDC) said a "reasonable" time for a total summer (Arctic) ice loss would be 2030.  An ice free Arctic Ocean was previously projected to occur around 2050, 2070 to 2100, but some scientists believe it could be in 5 years, or in 2013.  The first 10 days of August, 2008, Arctic sea ice declined by 390,000 square miles due to unusual weather conditions.  In June, 2008, the National Center for Atmospheric Research reported that:  "the rapid loss of sea ice could more than triple the rate of climate warming over northern Alaska, Canada and Russia."  The Peru Andean glaciers are expected to melt in approximately 25 years, and 70% of Peru's electricity comes from hydropower.
 
On August 20, 2008, Ecologists, scientists, and the University of Alaska state that 13,700 year old, 22 foot thick peat bogs are drying up on the Kenay Peninsula, just south of Anchorage, Alaska.  Records show Alaska has averaged 5 degrees warmer temperatures since 1960 during winter months.  Mr. Glenn Juday, Forest Ecologist at Alaska University says:  "We have mounds of evidence that an extremely powerful and unprecedented climate-driven change is underway." "These changes are underway and there are more changes coming." Global warming is a major contributor for beetle infestations of 50 million acres of forest stretching from Alaska to the Southwestern USA.  Infestations in British Columbia alone amount to half the size of California.  The mountain pine beetle in British Columbia has killed about 40% of pine forest since mid 1990's and cause billions of dollars in annual losses.  Because of warmer temperatures, pine beetles now are found in much higher mountain elevations in Alaska, Canada, USA and Russia.
 
The International Energy Agency in March 2008 Oil Market Report shows current global oil production/supply/consumption at 87.5 million barrels per day, or about 31.9 billion barrels annually.  1-barrel of oil = 42 gallons, and 1-Gallon of gasoline = 20.35 lbs. of CO2. The global use of fossil fuel is pumping 8.4 billion metric tons of CO2 into the atmosphere in 2006 alone, and without question such vast annual emissions of CO2 and chemical pollutants produce major ozone damage, and climate changes.
 
Report by U.S. Climate Change Science Program – June 19, 2008:  North America may get more abnormally hot days and nights, heavier downpours and deadlier storms from global warming.  Elevated temperatures in recent decades already have led to more intense rainstorms in the Midwest, Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions.  The probability of heavy downpours is increasing, which leads to events like what we’re seeing in the Midwest.  From 1980 to 2006, there have been 70 weather-related U.S. disasters that each caused more than $1 billion in damage the study said.  Continued warming, which scientists have blamed largely on a greenhouse effect stemming from carbon-dioxide emissions and deforestation, may also lead to more frequent droughts, it concluded.  Those types of events will increase in frequency as time goes on and global temperatures increase.  Last month, the U.S. Energy Dept. and NASA reported that burning fossil fuels in power plants and automobiles is most likely responsible for global warming, endorsing an opinion accepted by many of the world’s scientists.  Human-induced warming is known to effect climate variables such as temperature and precipitation.  Within a changing climate system, some of what are now considered to be extreme events will occur more frequently. Carbon dioxide, a byproduct of burning coal, oil and natural gas, contributed most to global warming in the last century, the climate program said. 
 
World motor vehicle registrations amounted over 681 million in July, 2002, and current March, 2008, world oil production/supply/consumption amounted to 87.5 million barrels per day.  The Carnegie Dept. of Global Ecology says:  Carbon dioxide is rising at a much faster rate than before.”  Since 2000, CO2 growth rate has been 3.3% per year, and emissions were 35% higher in 2006 than in 1990. 
 
A study by the Nat’l. Academy of Sciences released on 10/25/2007, states that carbon released from burning fossil fuels and making cement rose from 7 billion metric tons a year in 2000 to 8.4 billion metric tons in 2006.  A metric ton is 2,205 pounds.  The growing world economy is fueling the emissions.  The Nat’l. Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration Earth System Research Lab. in Boulder, Colo. Says:  “Carbon sinks were keeping up with the increased emissions, but now they’re not.”
 
The present sun radiation output fluctuates over the course of its 11-year solar cycle by only 1-tenth of 1 percent (0.1%), and this is not enough to cause present global warming of this planet Earth.  Larger sun radiation fluctuations would be required to produce present global warming events.
 
Please see the listing of 31,000 of 50,000 American Scientists (Physicists) and 9,000 PhD's of the American Physical Society, and the Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine who signed a Global Warming Petition on website: http://www.oism.org/pproject/ which declares, and “urges the United States government to reject the global warming agreement that was written in Kyoto, Japan, and any other similar proposals.” These scientists propose that limits on greenhouse gases would harm the environment, hinder the advance of science and technology, and damage the health and welfare of mankind. 
 
These 31,000 American Scientists (Physicists) and 9,000 PhD's claim: “There is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gasses is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth’s atmosphere and disruption of the Earth’s climate.  Moreover, there is substantial scientific evidence that increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide produce many beneficial effects upon the natural plant and animal environments of the Earth.”  “This treaty is, in our opinion, based upon flawed ideas.  Research data on climate do not show that human use of hydrocarbons is harmful.  To the contrary, there is good evidence that increased atmospheric carbon dioxide is environmentally helpful.” Please see: http://www.oism.org/pproject/
 
 
These 31,000 U.S. Scientists (Physicists) and 9,000 PhD's further claim: “A review of the research literature concerning the environmental consequences of increased levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide leads to the conclusion that increases during the 20th Century have produced no deleterious effects upon global weather, climate, or temperature.  Increased carbon dioxide has, however, markedly increased plant growth rates.  Predictions of harmful climatic effects due to future increases in minor greenhouse gases like CO2 are in error and do not conform to current experimental knowledge.”  The 31,000 American scientists (Physicists) are listed in alphabetical order and are listed by states.  The public should see who these 31,000 American Scientists (Physicists) and 9,000 PhD's are:  http://www.oism.org/pproject/. 
Obviously, the 31,000 U.S. Scientists (Physicists) and 9,000 PhD's are either duped, are not scientists, or just "Charlatans."  This is utterly disgraceful, and their titles as scientists require disqualification for the whole lot of them.  According to the latest article from the American Physical Society on August 22, 2008, this Society claims their publication membership contains 46,000 members. 
OREGON INSTITUTE OF SCIENCE & MEDICINE – February 7, 2009
This (so-called) organization is located in an isolated rural (farming) area in Southern Oregon, and consists of a large house and a metallic barn structure near Cave Junction.  The Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine is housed in the barn, and lists 8 persons with credentials as "Faculty" 2 of which are deceased in 2002 and 2006, but OISM has no classrooms or student body.  According to OISM 2002 IRS Form 990, the Institute has several unpaid officers, 2 "board members" who spend "one half hour per week working for the Institute, with other officers who work 2 hours per week.  The curriculum consists of a home schooling kit which has been purchased by 32,000 families.  The OISM website offers educational online discussion group called RobinsonUsers4Christ, "for Bible and Trinity – believing, God-fearing, 'Jesus-Plus-Nothing-Else' Christian families who use the Robinson Curriculum to share ideas and to get and give support."  Please see:  Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine – Source Watch.
Robinson has continued publication of "pro-science, pro-technology, pro-free enterprise monthly newsletter.  The Oregon Petition, sponsored by the OISM, was circulated in April 1998 in a bulk mailing to tens of thousands of U.S. scientists.  The National Academy of Science (NAS) stated in a news release:  "The petition does not reflect the conclusions of expert reports of the Academy," and its own prior published study had shown that greenhouse warming poses a potential threat sufficient to merit prompt responses.  In 1998, Arthur Robinson of OISM admitted that only 2,100 signers of the Oregon Petition had identified themselves as physicists, geophysicists, climatologists, or meteorologists.  The petition signers show no institutional affiliations; city of residence which makes it very difficult to determine their credentials or even whether they exist at all, and the list was loaded with misspellings, duplications, name and title fragments, and names of non-persons, such as company names.  The oil and coal industries have sponsored several organizations to promote the idea that increasing the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is "good for earth" because it will encourage greater plant growth.  OISM is not related or affiliated in any way with Oregon Health and Science University.
 
 
CHINA POLLUTION REACHES U.S. – June, 2007
 
This news clip discloses that 400,000 people die prematurely in China per year due to lung decease from air pollution, and one (1) new coal fired electric power plant is built every week.  That is over fifty (50) coal fired electric power plants per year.  Please see:  China Pollution Reaches U.S.
 
NASA:  Persistent jet contrails cause climate change.  Global aviation produced 145 million metric tons of carbon in 1996, or about 2.4 percent of all human-generated carbon emissions, per IPCC.  Several articles are written about the toxicity and chemicals of jet fuel, of seeding clouds with various chemicals supposedly to reduce climate change and global warming.  Please See:  oregonskywatch.com, Los Angeles Sky Watch, New York Sky Watch, Arizona Sky Watch, Missouri Sky Watch, Oakland Sky Watch, California/Bakersfield Sky Watch and Ontario Weather Service.  Please see:  Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine – Source Watch. 
 
ORBITING CARBON OBSERVATORY BY NASA
 Recent information now discloses that NASA is launching an Orbiting Carbon Observatory called "Climate Time Machine," in January 2009.  The significance is that any person can access via computer past climatic changes, accurate annual CO2 emissions, global temperature changes, monthly rising sea levels, graphic charts of shrinking Arctic Sea Ice, and daily changes in Ozone Hole satellite data.  The Jet Propulsion Laboratory in coordination with the California Institute of Technology also provide information on causes, effects, solutions, uncertainties including daily updates from a downloaded widget on your PC.  Many persons should be given credit for their perseverance, painful sacrifices and hard work for openly defying the oppressive corporate news media who in conjunction with the government engage in massive subversion of politics, science, technology, economic progress and civil liberties. 
Global fossil fuel was producing 8.4 billion metric tons of CO2 and chemicals into the atmosphere in 2006, and it is well known that the forests in the USA, Canada, Germany, Britain and Europe have been severely damaged from air pollution (smog) and carbon dioxide by fossil fuel electric power plants.  Warming temperatures and an infestation of bark beetles in South-Central Alaska have destroyed 3 million acres of spruce trees since 1992. 
Global warming and climate change research data have been collected from around the globe since the 1960's by many universities, USA and foreign governments, and findings by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), The International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and the US Framework Convention on Climate Change (USFCCC).  This global research data from many universities, numerous governments and the United Nations is intended to address global problems relating to our very existence and future survival of the human race.  To resort and dispute such overwhelming evidence by the American Physical Society and the Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine with deliberate, twisted and faulty information is totally absurd and hilarious, but also shameful. 
The International Energy Agency in March 2008 Oil Market Report shows current global oil production/ supply/consumption at 87.5 million barrels per day, or about 31.9 billion barrels annually.  1-barrel of oil = 42 gallons, and 1-Gallon of gasoline = 20.35 lbs. of CO2. The global use of fossil fuel is pumping 8.4 billion metric tons of CO2 into the atmosphere in 2006 alone, and without question such vast annual emissions of CO2 and chemical pollutants produce major ozone damage, and climate changes.
 
Atmospheric Shift, Global Warming and Climate Change are truly a reality with convincing and alarming evidence such as Scandinavian Countries are experiencing 3-4 weeks of warmer weather, and pools of water have been seen directly on the North Pole, including widespread famines in Africa and droughts in Australia.  An article 3 years ago in the Oregonian newspaper described the changes in the local weather by 7.2 degrees in the last 50 years, or close to 1.4° for every 10 years.  In May, 2008, the US Dept. of Energy disclosed that Carbon Dioxide makes up more than 80% of the human produced US greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to global warming.  Upon further probing and investigation of numerous Climate Change factors, certain answers and conclusions become evident from past and current nationwide/global climate fluctuations. 
 
Global Warming is becoming a more complex issue, as the climate is changing and more severe weather patterns emerge.  Global Warming has to be classified into two (2) separate and distinct weather functions, because there are basically 2 separate climate seasons of summer and winter, but each functions with more severity with (tropical) heat during the summer and (arctic) cold in the winter. This is explained by the thinner Ozone Layer causing hotter temperatures in the summer, and the creation of arctic Ozone Holes during the winter months forcing frigid space temperatures and arctic cold temperatures to swoop and swoosh over large portions of the Northern and Southern Hemisphere during the winter months.  If the Ozone Holes become even larger and the Ozone Holes stay open longer for an additional week, and/or it takes longer to close the Ozone Holes, then it can be estimated that very large amounts of frigid cold currents from space will cause major winter climate changes and an extended winter season.  Both of these different climate functions are exhibiting greater severity, and are primarily caused by CO2 Concentrations in the atmosphere, and are classified correctly as Global Warming and Climate Change, or more correctly as an Atmospheric Shift. 
 
The Antarctic and Arctic regions are undergoing major climate changes, and the ice shelves are melting at an alarming rate due to warmer temperatures and because of higher concentrations of CO2 and greenhouse gases in the atmosphere primarily from fossil fuel emissions.  As the ice is melting, the water is distributed globally, and the water is concentrated in larger quantities in the Southern Hemisphere, because the earth’s landmasses are predominantly located in the Northern Hemisphere.  The world’s landmass surface amounts to 30% of the Earth’s surface area, and the oceans comprise the other 70% of the world surface area.  The redistribution of melted water weight from the Arctic and Antarctic into the Southern Hemisphere causes the shifting of the North/South Pole Axis, which has occurred more rapidly, and has accelerated in the last 40 years. 
 
In 1994, the National Geomagnetic Program of Geological Survey of Canada monitored the North Magnetic Pole movement, and found that the Magnetic Pole movement was approximately 9 miles (15 kilometers) each year.  According to National Geographic Article of 12/15/2005, new research shows the North Pole is moving into the direction of Siberia at a rather fast pace at 25 miles (40 kilometers) a year and the movement of the Pole definitely appear to be accelerating.  The Magnetic North Pole is located 1,000 miles (1,600 kilometers) south of the Geographic North Pole.  The North Magnetic Pole, on average moves in an elliptical pattern of 50 miles from its center point on a daily basis.  Further research also shows that such substantial North Magnetic Pole movements are followed correspondingly by the Geographic North Pole and the Equator.  The gradual shifting of the poles (North and South Poles) becomes evident in warmer temperatures in the northern hemisphere, and gradually in colder temperatures in the southern hemisphere and the South Pole region.
 
Previous evidence of the shifting of the Earth’s Axis were finds of corals in Newfoundland, elephants in Alaska, fig trees in Northern Greenland, and luxurious forests, ferns, fossilized tree-stumps and coal in Antarctica, water lilies and fossilized palm leaves to 12 feet long in Spitsbergen, swamp cypress within 500 miles of the North Pole in the Miocene period, and mastodons in Siberia with fresh tropical grass in the mouth and stomach without any body tissue deterioration, which confirms that death and freezing was very sudden within a few hours, and is evidence that dramatic shifting of the poles and the Earth's Axis occurred several times. 
 
Very Important – Atmospheric shifting is global, because the North Pole and South Pole Axis are shifting by approximately 25 miles per year.  This means that the climate and weather is undergoing a shift in geographic location, and this produces various changes in the Northern Hemisphere, as well as the Southern Hemisphere.   The Earth with the oceans in our atmospheric envelope has established a relatively stable rotation, balance and equilibrium.  With ocean water levels rising and water weight migrating into the Southern Hemisphere, a geographic shifting of the North Pole and South Pole Axis occurs.  This geographic Pole Axis shift movement appears to produce some problems, and has produced an elliptical gyration pattern that has a daily variation of 50 miles from its center point.  This irregular elliptical gyration indicates that the Earth wobbles and the movement, size and pattern of irregularity have to be closely monitored for any deviations.  Electronic instruments with the use of satellites need to be employed for monitoring any fluctuations in the magnetic pole movements and pole axis at the North Pole and the South Pole.  The gyration (wobble) of the North Pole and the South Pole is expected to be different from each other. 
 
This atmospheric shift would have an effect on the Equator and climate in the Northern Hemisphere, such as the Gulf Stream, hurricanes, moisture, rain and snowfall.  If the Gulf Stream circulation pattern is reduced by warmer temperatures, then it is logical that we can experience more hurricanes and typhoons in the oceans.  If the polar axis shift continues to move toward Siberia at 25 miles per year, then this amounts to a 250 mile shift in 10 years.  This would have major economic and social implications for the entire Northern Hemisphere countries, as well as the Southern Hemisphere countries.  Present data of atmospheric shifting would justify separate and close monitoring of the Magnetic North Pole, South Pole and the equatorial region. 
 
Fossil Fuel Depletion can reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) and greenhouse gases eventually, if an alternative to oil is allowed to be developed, but the oil industry is determined to keep control over the oil, auto industry, and the energy field.  The oil industry is trying to keep the world economy afloat, but has problems to meet the world=s demand for oil due to oil depletion and constant population growth.  Pumping oil from reservoirs at maximum capabilities to satisfy world demands, while exploration and finding new oil fields are diminishing and become futile, then the oil depletion rate is heading into a virtual nosedive in the near future. All natural resources are finite, except for sand and rocks. 
 
A lawsuit in 2007 demanded the release of the U.S. Climate Change Program Scientific Assessment of the Effects of Global Change on the United States by the White House National Science and Technology Council (NSTC) with the U.S. Climate Change Science Program was prepared at a cost of $20 billion in research alone.  The Bush Administration, bowing to a Court Order, was forced to release a fresh summary of federal and independent research pointing to large, and mainly harmful, impact of human-caused global warming in the United States.  When such harmful information from government sponsored research, having major economic, health and financial consequences to this nation, is deliberately withheld from the public by the President of the United States and his staff, then such actions constitute willful obstruction and criminal activities.  Major and severe climate changes that now occur in the USA, confirms the research report of the U.S. Climate Change Program Scientific Research Assessment.
 
Because of the dissension and turbulence about the validity of Global Warming and Climate Change facts by the political right factions, oil companies, and the news media, I have taken the time to analyze and dissect the latest available NASA Satellite Ozone Hole Size data, detailed graphs and charts that have been furnished by the National Weather Service Climate Prediction Center from annual 1980 to 2007 at: www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov.  The National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) monitors the progression of the ozone hole from space and on the ground in Antarctica. 
 
My research was to establish if there is any solid and actual proof if Global Warming and Climate Change are becoming worse according to a rational progression of data from 1980 to 2008, and to make this data available to the public from other sources, including from my own research.  My research is a summation and involved various factors, and covered the gradual progression of the size of the ozone hole, the progression of the ozone hole duration (season) in days, and the steady increase in volume and concentration of Carbon Dioxide in the Stratosphere at: www.theozonehole.com
 
My research has shown very large variations and fluctuations in data and graphs, but when analyzing these variables from 1980 to the present, then an absolute progression in data is evident toward larger ozone holes, major increases in annual CO2 concentrations from a high of 3 million Square Kilometers in 1980 to 24 million Square Kilometers in 2007, and a 32% extended ozone hole duration between 9 to 19.5 additional days over a period of 10 and 27 years.  Due to my latest analysis of severe weather fluctuations in the summer and the winter seasons, this planet could experience an Atmospheric Shift of drastic and worse weather seasons with very hot summers and very cold winters. 
 
Scientists from the Alfred Wegener Institute of the Helmholtz Scientific Association in Germany are now involved in factual climate models pertaining to atmospheric temperature fluctuations, polar vortexes, Arctic Oscillations, Stratospheric Ozone Chemistry and air flow patterns at the Arctic and Antarctic Polar Regions involving complex global climate models by linking the atmosphere, ocean temperatures and ocean currents or gulf streams from satellite and on the ground observations.  At this point their research contains still a high level of uncertainty, but will be factored into future climate calculation models.   Please see: www.theozonehole.com/stratosphericchemistry.htm. 
 
Increased variations in the cold winter climate causes many people to question global warming and climate change, and dissenters are calling global warming a fraud, without having all the facts, and insufficient basic knowledge about the current and fluctuating weather.
 


As the world population multiplied during the last 1,000 years, huge, global forested lands have been cut down for building houses, and wood and coal was mainly used for heating and cooking.  Gradually the oxygen content decreased and the carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations increased accordingly and have been absorbed by the oceans, vegetation and in the atmosphere.  Today, the world population consumes vast amounts of fossil fuel and the carbon dioxide from fossil fuel and manufactured airborne chemicals and gases amount to staggering billions of tons of acids annually in the atmosphere, which then cause the destruction of the ozone in the stratosphere.  As a result, the ozone layer around the world is becoming thinner and the most drastic effects are shown in the cold arctic pole and Antarctic pole regions, where the carbon dioxide and acids are most active and destructive. 
 
When considering all the climate variables, the continued thinning of the ozone layer, and ocean water evaporation, and present carbon dioxide/chemical emissions, it is difficult to determine at this time if this planet is heading ultimately into a hot desert type planet, or if this planet is then headed into another ice age in the near future.  This research involves the thermal functions and temperature fluctuations on an annual basis over a period of time, and calculating the effects of global carbon dioxide and chemical emissions as well as the temperature fluctuations of the gulfstream, jet stream, ocean currents, ocean acidity and water evaporation.
 
Currently, the water from melted ice from the North Pole and the South Pole are being distributed mostly into the Southern Hemisphere because most of the Earth's landmass is located in the Northern Hemisphere.  This shift in water weight causes the polar axis to shift toward Siberia in Russia by approximately 25 miles per year, which means that the South Pole and the Equator correspondingly shift as well.  The melted ice is entering the Atlantic Ocean as relatively warm water, which then has the tendency to reduce the circulation of Gulf Stream and Arctic Oscillation flow stream.  The result of the reduced Gulf Stream circulation flow is that the Atlantic Ocean water becomes warmer which produces more moisture particularly in the hurricane region of the Atlantic Ocean, and the moisture feeds the hurricanes with much greater intensity to cause increased destruction to the United States and nearby countries.  The increase in water and weight into the Southern Hemisphere produces the shifting of the polar axis toward Siberia by approximately 25 miles per year.  But this is not all, as I explain the on-going Atmospheric Shift in more detail.
 
The Earth's surface is covered with many earth plates which have a natural tendency to actively flex and move accordingly to equalize exerted internal pressure (heat) in the form of earth plate subduction, earth quakes, volcanoes, continental drift and earth plate compression.  We are seeing a substantial increase in major earthquakes of 4-5 quakes per week in the range of 6.0-6.8 on the Richter scale, and tsunami activity in the Pacific and Indian Ocean, and the Mid-East region, which appear to compensate for the Earth's generated internal and external pressures.  Due to the increase in water weight into the Southern Hemisphere and the shifting of the poles by as much as 25 miles per year toward Siberia, such drastic movements then explain the weak points of earth plates in the Northern Hemisphere and close to the Equator.  The combination of CO2 emissions, climate change, atmospheric shifting of poles could be instrumental in generating catastrophic earthquakes and tsunami's in much greater magnitude in the future.
 
Certain physical markers and indicators already point toward a direction that could create a hot, desert type planet as well as the beginning of a new ice age.  Major reductions in carbon dioxide could perhaps prevent the severity of these massive temperature fluctuations and Atmospheric Shift, and stabilize the world atmosphere for a habitable future of the human race, but that is wishful thinking in view of our present political arrogance, world economic domination plans, and the plundering of natural resources.
 
Bio-fuel produces equally large quantities of carbon dioxide, and bio-fuel production will be affected by Global Warming, Atmospheric Shift or Climate Change.  As droughts, land degradation and salination are accelerating from present world land abandonment the size of Indiana (37,000 Square Miles) every year, the summer temperatures are expected to move northward several hundred miles in a relatively short time span. The southern region of the former USSR is seriously damaged by centuries of soil erosion and wind erosion. It is estimated that half of Russia's arable land is now unusable due to wind erosion and land abandonment with no available reserve of cropland.  Canada predicts decreasing productivity of cropland, increased soil erosion and diminished sustainable cropland reserves.
 
This is not a time to place the blame or to condemn the causes for Global Warming, Climate Change and Atmospheric Shift any longer, but we are at a point in history where it becomes necessary to identify and eliminate the carbon dioxide emissions most effectively. Half-way measures will not be an option any longer in view of the current climate disasters caused to the ecology by hurricanes, tornados, floods, droughts, rainfall, thunderstorms, snowstorms, blizzards, high winds, major temperature swings, polar ice melting and rising global ocean water flood levels.  NASA scientists, and scientists from the World Glacier Monitoring Service in Zurich stated that Arctic ice is already melting before the winter season is over, and the thinning and melting of glaciers in Alaska, Antarctica and Himalayas has more than doubled between 2004 and 2006.
 
Carbon Dioxide with other chemical gases are most destructive in the stratosphere at a temperature of minus 108° F. during the cold winter months in the Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere.  Carbon Dioxide also causes thinning of the global ozone layer. The Ozone Hole at Antarctica has covered an area of 29.5 million square kilometers, but contract during the summer months. The acidity of CO2 causes large holes in the Ozone layer at the Arctic and Antarctic Poles, and allows the warmer temperatures to vent into space, and then draws the frigid, cold temperatures from space into the earth atmosphere predominantly during the winter months, and mixes with the atmospheric moisture to produce severe snow storms and winter weather patterns.  As the winter season progresses in the Antarctic and the temperatures become colder, then the CO2 acidity forms the ozone hole.  As the CO2 progressively destroys the ozone, the ozone hole also becomes progressively larger and forms swirling irregular vortexes caused in part by the venting of warmer temperatures at the hole periphery into space, and the extreme cold temperatures are gushing into our atmosphere from space.  As the Earth’s heat is vented into space by the ever enlarging Ozone Hole, then the super cold stream from space plunges onto the Earth’s surface, and is spread by newly formed wind currents over the hemisphere, resulting in major cold weather fluctuations.  During this on-going process, the ozone hole is becoming larger, and the effects of severe cold winter temperatures are then evident in the Antarctic and the Arctic, until the equatorial region aligns itself with the sun toward the spring season.  The ozone hole now stays open more than double in the last 25 years. 
 
The summer months melt the polar ice, and warm the Atlantic Ocean Gulf Stream.  The Gulf Stream warmer water alters and reduces the ocean circulation flow pattern and generate more CO2, along with the huge amount of CO2 produced from melting permafrost, tundra and peat bogs (1/4 size of the entire Northern Hemisphere).  The global ozone layer has become thinner and its effects are that the sun rays are less defused and more readily penetrate onto the earth=s surface, which then are the cause of warmer summer temperatures in the Northern and Southern Hemisphere, and then result in more droughts, hurricanes and changes in global weather patterns.  The thinner ozone layer allows the sun rays to produce more heat during summer months, but the extreme cold from space does not penetrate the global ozone layer entirely, and the ozone layer still provides a barrier and shield.  It is most important to know when the thin ozone layer thickness and larger ozone holes start to cool this planet, and at what point this could produce a new ice age.
 
At this time we are experiencing a gradual but definite atmospheric shift which obviously indicates that this planet is adjusting in a weight balancing process while trying to maintain the present rotational cycle.  The present atmospheric shift and climate change does not indicate any signs of immediate catastrophic polar reversal activity.  But, large amounts of increased water weight upon the earth plates in the Southern Hemisphere could exert more pressure upon the weak points of earth plates in the Northern Hemisphere, and could result into major or very large earthquakes in various regions of this planet.  This is extremely difficult to estimate, but it would be most beneficial to maintain or reduce any adverse changes in the global weather patterns.  All universities in all countries are asked to conduct global geophysical research in their science curriculum in this very important subject.
 
This explains why we have major global weather fluctuations during the summer and during the winter seasons.  The next obvious question is:  How long will Global Warming or the Atmospheric Shift last?  Will this planet become warmer or colder, when, and to what extend will this climate change occur in the near future, or in the next 40 years?  If and when the ozone layer becomes very thin, then the cold temperatures from space will cool down our atmosphere, and could bring about a new ice age.  Then how much time do we have to make some meaningful changes and adjustments?  What technology has to be developed and marketed worldwide, and at what costs? 
 
Unfortunately, Global Warming and Atmospheric Shift conditions are much faster accelerating than expected by most researchers and scientists.  Research satellites over the Earth’s poles provide valuable information of current and future atmospheric conditions, but a complete overview of Global Warming and Atmospheric Shift is necessary at this time, and time is of the essence, before Global Warming and Climate Change become an unmanageable world crisis.
 
It now becomes obvious that everybody and all businesses take an interest in a concerted effort to resolve global warming, climate change and a replacement for oil/fossil fuel, or otherwise an unprecedented economic downturn on a global scale is possible.  To rely on high profit oriented corporations to produce meaningful Climate Change Technology would only produce inadequacy.   This has been my experience, and by no means should this be allowed to occur.  My website shows and describes the best products that would be most effective to mitigate Global Warming, Atmospheric Shift and Climate Change, and replace oil and fossil fuel at the same time.  A previous employer abolished their entire maintenance program for expensive machinery of 24/7 productivity in order to maximize profits.  Whenever this sophisticated plant machinery would break down, then all plant production personnel were sent home and emergency repairs had to be made which could last 3-7 days.  This employer would consistently violate air pollution laws and rather pay large fines rather than to make plant remediation.
 
Today we see our US government buying approximately $700 billion of worthless credit derivative market accounts involving banks, financial institutions, investment houses, insurers and hedge funds.  From where is approx. $2 trillion going to come from?  Printing more money would cause devaluation of the dollar, and borrowing money from foreign countries at regular interest rates which then is dispersed as loans and investment funds to the housing market and commercial businesses at regular interest rates could have major economic repercussions.  If this financial bailout is not conducted responsively, it can be catastrophic and bring on an economic depression. 
 
If our government would have functioned as required by law, then we would not have had any of our present energy problems, climate change, economic crisis, Viet Nam War, Iraq War, the $630 billion annual defense budget, and national social disintegration.  As evidence, I request that all persons read and fully comprehend my repeated disclosures, documentation to the government, and the implications my products could have produced during the time period from the 1960's to 2008.  Please see my website as shown on www.MZ-Energy.com.  My website shows and describes the best products that would b e most effective to mitigate Global Warming, Atmospheric Shift and replace oil and fossil fuel at the same time, national debts, et cetera.  
                                                                     
 

Global Warming and Fossil Fuel Depletion is misunderstood and denigrated by a large portion of the government and corporations because such investments would reduce corporate gains and profits.  The development and use of new hydrogen energy regeneration systems for most energy applications can create a very prosperous new, global human era.  For additional information on energy, global warming and climate change, please see:  www.MZ-Energy.com
 
 
4.  FOSSIL FUEL DEPLETION / GLOBAL OIL RESERVES
 
Due to high oil prices, the USA oil demand fell by 3.5%, and reduced consumption by 700,000 bpd in July, 2008.  The International Energy Agency (IEA) in Paris up to now was only concerned about world oil demand, and now plans to conduct research and release a report on world oil supply and oil availability in November, 2008.  This is very late, as oil has already reached over $145 per barrel, but the oil supply/depletion data and oil field capacities are a closely guarded secret by the supplier countries.  On 18 April, 2007, energy consultants HIS disclosed up to 100 billion barrels of oil remained to be discovered in Western Iraq.  On 23 April, 2007, the US Geological Survey estimated Iraq’s undiscovered oil as 0.5 billion barrels at 95% probability and 1.6 billion at 50% probability.  This region was explored decades ago, and wild speculators are at work, who are hungry for foolish investors.
 
A report on May 29, 2008 about Mr. Sadad Al-Husseini, a former top executive of Saudi Aramco, Saudi Arabia’s state-owned oil company alleges:  Oil producing countries are inflating the size of their oil reserves by as much as 300 billion barrels by padding supposedly proven reserves with “probable” reserves and tar and oil sands.  That, he said, has prompted speculation that global oil reserves may be over twice current estimates.  Such hypothetical reserves are “not delineated, not accessible and not available for production, Husseini said at a recent energy conference in London.  Oil companies mix proven finds with probable reserves that may have only a 50% chance of getting out of the ground, and also count “unconventional hydrocarbons, inaccessible oil accumulations and unconfirmed recoveries, none of which fit the current definitions of proven or probable reserves.”  Take the 140 billion barrels of Canadian bitumen that’s regularly reported as proven oil reserves.  In reality, Husseini alleged, only a small fraction of that will be converted to useful fuels.  Adding to the confusion, the U.S. Geological Survey and others have mixed up reserves with resources, combining proven and probable fields with speculative, undiscovered hydrocarbons.  Oil production has now reached its peak and will begin dropping in 15 years or less, earlier than most other experts predict. 
 
Proven reserves have a 90%-95% certainty of entering production, probable reserves have a 50% probability, and possible reserves have a 5%-10% chance for production.  According to Al-Husseini, 300 billion of the world's oil reserves should be categorized as speculative, while Saudi Arabia has been pumping approximately 58 billion barrels of oil in the last 20 years without showing any depletion of their oil reserves. 
 
The Saudi Arabia Petroleum and Minerals Minister Ali Ibrahim al-Naimi stated on May 2, 2006 at the Center for Strategic & International Studies Forum in Washington, D.C.:  "I believe there are at least 14 trillion barrels of reserves left, 7 trillion of which are conventional, with advancing technology, we'll produce more of it." 
 
Bloomberg reports on July 5, 2008 – Madrid:  "The world has as much as five trillion to seven trillion barrels of oil yet to be developed, located in "challenging" areas or acreage closed to exploration, Saudi Arabian Oil Minister Ali al-Naimi said.  "How many times do I have to tell you, prices have nothing to do with supply and demand," Ali said. 
 
Somehow over a brief period of 1 year, 7 trillion barrels of global oil mysteriously vanished without any specific explanation, and the Oil Minister of Saudi Arabia cannot be taken seriously any longer.  The oil industry, USA government and global news media totally failed to challenge the Saudi Oil Minister on his rant of 5-7 trillion global oil deposits or locations, and the lack of oil exploration investments amid staggering worldwide oil profits.  This is truly mindboggling and stupendous during a time of energy wars and the control over global natural resources, while untold human beings are being starved and untold innocent blood will be needlessly spilled for the sake of huge oil profits.
 
Professor Paul Stevens, Sr. Research Fellow for Energy at Chatham House, Britain's top think tank and top expert on the oil industry discloses:  An oil supply crunch in or around 2013, when the price of oil could soar to $200 per barrel, inadequate investments by international oil companies, adoption of 'value-based management' as a financial strategy to maintain high oil prices by paying shareholders high returns on investments.  "Increasingly, this is motivated by the view that oil in the ground is worth more than money in the bank," Stevens maintains.  Many oil producer countries enter into 'resource nationalism,' and exports are diminished by rising domestic oil consumption and population growth.
 
Instead of developing over 10,000 oil leases with 68 million acres that already have been leased by the oil companies, the oil companies demand additional millions of acres of leases.  These government oil leases are not leases at all.  A lease is a contract for a specific limited term, but these oil leases have been on the books for over 20 years, but are supposed to be valid for only 10 years.  The oil companies are listing unexplored leases as valid assets without exploring these leases.  This is typical of the oil companies, and this is simply fraudulent. 
 
In 2005, the 6 largest oil companies invested $54 billion for exploration, drilling and technology, but returned $71 billion to their shareholders, and more than 1 million employees were terminated in the last 2 decades.  Saudi Arabia could not deliver "The Khursaniyah Project" at the end of 2007, but is expected in mid-2009, with widespread delays for the majority of its upstream program. Political uncertainties, diminished production, surging global demand, and non-Opec production is either stagnant or in decline, and not supplying the global demand.  The Kashagan field in Kazakhstan was supposed to produce 1.5 million bpd in 2009, but due to technical problems is delayed to 2013 with high cost overruns. 
 
We lose just over 4 mbpd per year for depletion and demand has been increasing about 1.5 mbpd per year.  In order to add 15 mbpd of production by 2012 we need to find and produce nearly 30 mbpd of new oil just to offset depletion and this new demand.  Very high oil and gasoline prices will substantially reduce the $700 billion oil imports, but will also produce substantial economic losses, the reduction of imported goods and fewer jobs. 
 
 
INTERNATIONAL ENERGY AGENCY
2008 WORLD ENERGY OUTLOOK (Nov. 13, 2008)
 
The International Energy Agency (IEA) calls for a global energy revolution.  Current trends in energy supply and consumption are patently unsustainable – environmentally, economically and socially – they can and must be altered. 
 
Oil fields have to be found by 2030 equivalent to the output of four (4) Saudi Arabia just to maintain present levels of supply and consumption.  The energy demand (annual 1.6%) or 45% by 2030 is estimated to cost $26.3 trillion.  Oil companies are facing "dwindling opportunities to increase reserves and production.  The era of cheap oil is over."  The projected 45% increase in CO2 emissions from 28 gigatons amount to 41 gigatons by 2030.  Renewable energy investments require an additional $4.1 trillion by 2030. CO2 emissions would have to reach no higher than 26 gigatons (450 ppm) and cost an additional $9.3 trillion (0.6% of annual world GDP).
 
IEA estimates 1.3 trillion barrels of proven reserves to keep the planet going for 40 years at current consumption, with additional recoverable conventional reserves of three (3) trillion barrels. Global consumption is projected to rise from 85 million bpd in 2007 to 106 million bpd in 2030.  The report estimates two (2) trillion barrels of extra heavy oil and bitumen may be technically recoverable, mostly from Canada and Venezuela.  There is no guarantee those resources will be exploited quickly enough.
 
Per IEA, with no oil investments to raise production, the natural rate of output decline is 9.1%.  An annual oil investment of $360 billion are required for China, India and developing countries until 2030 to maintain annual production decline of 6.4%.
 
The IEA 2008 World Energy Outlook contains much the same information as I have previously disclosed.  Opec and oil producing countries still refuse to disclose their oil reserves, obviously because they do not know themselves of how much oil is left in the ground and also of how much oil is actually recoverable.  This is an alarming energy supply situation.  Recently a member of Opec stated that if countries do not like their high oil prices, then people can either walk or ride bicycles. 
 
My proposed Hydrogen and Hydrogen Energy Regeneration System and Processes could circumvent many painful, inevitable events, provided that this nation starts to recognize the seriousness of the global fossil fuel energy crisis, and act in unison accordingly to establish a new era in abundant and affordable global energy supply.  Hydrogen Energy is too important and has to be produced as inexpensive as possible, in order for the global population to survive, and to develop a promising future.  Obviously, when international politics and controls, and other limitations are imposed on Hydrogen Energy Regeneration Systems and Processes, then the potential of a promising global future is cancelled.  This has been already my experience for more than 40 years.  Due to the prevailing energy crisis, poor economy and dismal energy technology, it was necessary for me to disclose present conditions.  I could have made very superfluous and glowing statements pertaining to Hydrogen Energy Regeneration and extolled a very promising future for this planet. Believe me, there are many external obstacles to overcome from our government, industry leaders and a portion of our population.

5.  WEATHER WARFARE
 
At this point I should disclose one (1) of several answers to the impending catastrophic problem of global climate change.  As early as the late 1960s, I have contacted U.S. senate and congressional leaders that large volumes of "static electricity" are emitted into the atmosphere that are being generated worldwide from electric power generation, radar stations, industrial consumption, and from public electricity consumption, including the so-called "Super Secret Electronic Warfare System" (since about 1940), were adversely charging the entire global atmosphere with "static electricity."  The Senator Barry Goldwater publicly disclosed that the "Super Secret Electronic Warfare System" should be discontinued.  Senator Goldwater was warned not to disclose national secrets.  I referred to this system as the "Super Secret Electronic Warfare and Spy System," and I disclosed that such large volumes of static electricity would cause changes in wind currents, wind patterns and could cause global climate changes.  In about 1948, I read in the Hannover Zeitung or the Braunschweiger Zeitung in Germany about an article that Russia had developed what was described as "The Ultimate Weapon," and details were to be disclosed in about 2-3 weeks later.  But the details or further information were never published. 
 
As it turns out, Russia secretly searched, conducted research and interviewed associates of Nicola Tesla (1856-1943), who had conducted research of electromagnetic energy being bounced off the ionosphere.  Over 700 patents are accredited and derived from the research of Nicola Tesla. 
 
Upon the death of Nicola Tesla, the United States government hurriedly collected the Tesla research and copied all his research papers.  No doubt, Nicola Tesla was brilliant, but many people considered him eccentric and a mad scientist for his research on the Magnetic Field of the Earth, the 1934 Death Ray for shooting down 100s of planes, Particle Beams, Superheating the Atmosphere, charging the Ionosphere for a potential of 2 billion volts for modifying the weather, and his proposals to the US government for producing regional Atmospheric Energy Fields to destroy missiles, and the Energy Conducting Linear Accelerator (International Linear Collider).  Please download a video on Google with the title:  "The Missing Secrets of Nicola Tesla" states that Nicola Tesla had tried to sell his research on Superheating the Atmosphere to several countries and sent some of his research in 1935 to Russia, apparently in frustration with the US Government.   Nicola Tesla died penniless and in debt in New York City in 1943, and his research was intended to benefit humanity, and to eliminate future wars with the availability of catastrophic weapons in the hands of many countries, so that any future wars logically become pointless and useless. 
 
Now our United States government and military continue to spend large sums of money for electronic international spying by charging the earth atmosphere, charged-particle energy beams for warfare with particle beam weapons, energy directed weapons, high-power microwave weapons, chemical laser weapons, and of electromagnetically charging the ionosphere to create regional energy fields as in HAARP for modifying the climate and weather in any location of the Earth or on any countries.  The "seeding" of large areas for electromagnetic energy directed weapons can destroy (kill) all persons and all animals within that area.  Over 10 years ago, Russia was supposedly to have developed high powered laser weapons and launched them into space.  These Russian laser weapons at that time were supposed to be 10 times more powerful than ours in the USA.  Atmospheric and Climate Warfare are being considered in order to acquire and control the remaining global natural resources, and in particular global fossil fuel reserves, (oil).  Worldwide, there are over 91 research project and laboratories involved in Electronic Weapons, Particle Energy Research Projects, Electromagnetic Research and Linear Accelerator Research, with North America having a total of 26 projects and laboratories. 
 
Since the mid-1950s, the electromagnetically charged atmosphere has also been used to induce mind altering (subliminal) influences upon mass populations such as in the USA to induce fear and anxiety such as when the Sputnik satellite was launched by Russia in 1957, during the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962, to induce massive appropriations for defense and nuclear weapons, apprehension with the combined use of the news media against potential presidential candidates, and sorrow by the death of John F. Kennedy.  At other times it was euphoria by our military superiority over Russia and worldwide, but this came to an end when Russia developed over 20,000 nuclear bombs, and a nuclear war became imminent.  After the Mutual Assured Destruction (MAD) agreement, it became obvious that such massive quantities of nuclear weapons are irrational.  Multiple nuclear warheads on 200 missiles by the USA and Russia would destroy the entire human race either by destruction and/or nuclear radiation. 
 
A electrically charged atmosphere can be used for inducing pain, muscle spasms, aneurism, torture, induce strokes and heart attacks. Particle charged beams can travel at the speed of light and can be focused to kill, maim, cause a stroke, or heart attack of a person about 1.5+ miles away.  A sweeping motion can kill 100 or more from a van or truck mounted particle beam weapon.  Microwave radiation can heat the body of a person, as if a person is being fried from the inside out.  At relatively close range (300+ feet) an electrically charged beam can be modulated in intensity and can also cause any person to be physically incapacitated, murdered without a trace of evidence, except that the person had died from a stroke, aneurism or heart attack.   Fortunately, today such particle beam and high-power microwave weapons require large and heavy accelerators that fit into trucks and trailers.  It is expected that small accelerators can be designed and transported in cars, or carried in backpacks, but the usage is limited and not worth the costs.  There is no need for such weapons, which will not only kill soldiers, but also civilians, women and children. 
 
According to a very reliable source, in 1948 or 1949, Albert Einstein was supposed to have run naked into the street one night from his residence and was shouting "who are you – what do you want from me," and again "who are you, where are you – what do you want from me."  But Albert Einstein did not see anyone or a truck on the street, and he angrily returned to his house.  His atomic research was meant to benefit humanity, but unfortunately the military started to produce nuclear weapons, and initiated threats to global humanity with the production of ever more nuclear weapons and proliferation.  Radiation concentrations are already a major concern during weather inversions, and to all living beings, animals and the food supply along the Eastern Seaboard of the USA.
 
The more recent, and large amounts of satellites and the use of computers and cellular phones generate an ever increasing amount of static electricity into the atmosphere, which in conjunction with Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and greenhouse gas emissions are accelerating the problem of global warming and climate change.  Senator Barry Goldwater was correct, and the "Super Secret Electronic Warfare System" should be closed down.  The global climate change problem is becoming worse with the introduction of more electricity generation and electricity dissipation that is produced from solar panels, windmills, nuclear power plants, coal-fired electric power plants, high-tension power lines, the national electric power grid, bio-fuel, electric cars, and the overall electricity consumption by an expanding world population.  While we appreciate all the electric conveniences and gadgets, the national electric power grid will have to be buried underground with much better insulation to reduce electricity dissipation into the atmosphere worldwide.  Better electricity insulation and heat absorption/containment would help substantially, but we do not have sufficient technology developed, or available for immediate use, and the worldwide industrial economic sector is not willing, or cannot invest adequate funds in such a major global technological revolution.  Of all the global future problems we are facing with 1/3 of the world population in utter poverty.  The global military budget for 2008 is estimated by the Stockholm International Peace Research Organization to amount to 1.47 trillion dollars.  The killing of women, children and civilians has become one of the most lucrative businesses, and we cannot simply kill enough people.  Some plans call for killing off about 1/2 of the world population, and a senator wants to wage 100 years of war, and pray to God to keep this mad bloodletting going at all costs. 
 
 
PROJECT SANGUINE – EXTREMEY LOW FREQUENCY (ELF) BY U.S. NAVY
 
The object of this system was to communicate with nuclear missile carrying submarines while submerged in the oceans of 200 feet below water surface.  The installation of this extremely low frequency system covers an area of 1,250 square miles and is used for transmitting radio waves at 45 to 75 Hz.  This large grid sends not only electricity and radio waves into the ionosphere, but also charges and saturates the ionosphere until such transmission signals are bounced off and penetrate deep ocean waters worldwide for communication with missile carrying submarines.  The ionosphere is located at 30 miles to 250 miles above the earth, and electrified signals and radio waves have to pass through the Troposphere (altitude from 0 to 10 miles), the Stratosphere (10-30 miles) and the Mesosphere (30-55 miles).  These layers that envelope the earth, are also being continuously charged with static electricity, which ultimately have to affect the weather and climate.  What is not being publicized is that this type of electronic communication system allows instant communications on all land surfaces worldwide, just like cellular phone calls around the world, but of course the penetration and reception through denser ocean waters does require more time.  Communications with submerged submarines can also be blocked in times of crises.  This is very simple to understand when studying the molecular structure and composition of the Earth atmosphere. 
 
The Government Accountability Office found last year that 95 major defense programs had run up a combined $295 billion in cost overruns since 2000.  Not coincidentally, the defense budget is a playground for members of Congress, Boeing, Lockheed, Northrop, Raytheon, SAIC and all the others have strong advocates in Washington, D.C., who are eager to shove money to contractors in their districts, whether or not the programs are needed or perform as advertised.  "Obama strikes me as no fool," says Winslow Wheeler, a fellow at the Center for Defense Information.  If the president holds the line on tankers and bombers, Wheeler says, "We're talking about a real fight between Obama and the Democratic Congress."  The White House shouldn't be afraid of that fight. Obama can become the leader the Pentagon has needed for decades.
 
The best and most useful solution is hydrogen energy and my hydrogen regeneration processes, combined with effective containment of electricity dissipation, including heat insulation methods for most energy generating and consuming applications.  The climate change problem is three-fold.  One problem is the volume of static electricity into the atmosphere, and the other problems are the Greenhouse Gases and chemical emissions into the global atmosphere, and the third is heat generation produced from fossil fuels and from energy generation.  Obviously, if direct action is not taken to effectively mitigate the climate change problems, then we can expect to face a global catastrophe.  Please see:  www.MZ-Energy.com
