Simple Solutions: For Planet Earth is a scientific book written in
a popular style for the average reader. You have read about Peak
Oil and Global Climate Warming, and complained about $3.50/gallon
gasoline, but how really serious are these headlines and
annoyances? The author has worked his entire career on: the
science, technology, education, administration and politics of
these subjects, and crystallizes this complex field into
understandable elements, providing simple solutions for humanity.
Does it make sense for the renewable energy budget of the Federal
Government to be about $1 billion/year when: o Annual tax
incentives and government programs for the oil industry are
supposedly in the range between $38 billion and $115 billion,
although Lester Brown says $210 billion in 2005. o Farm subsidies
alone in 2004 cost taxpayers $16.2 billion. o Our country spends
$12 billion a month, or $144 billion/year, on the Iraq and
Afghanistan wars, ostensibly to protect oil, only to raise prices.
The author's long experience with the Greenhouse Effect has led him
to believe that methane, not carbon dioxide, could well be the
critical gas of concern, for there is potential for global warming
to cascade into, what he terms, the Venus Syndrome. The closing
chapter speculates on a hypothesis regarding mega-tsunamis (100
meter waves) from landslides. While simple solutions are suggested,
the problem is the inability of our civilization to agree on a
workable strategy, which is further weakened by the lack of will on
part of the general populace. Thus, the reader is urged to help
make that crucial difference. Instructions and examples are
provided on how to attain Rainbow Vision to carry out this mission
for a better Planet Earth. The simplest solution is for everyone to
join in on the effort.
