The Royal Society gives us a one minute climate video

 

My very short BIO: Ten miles & 1,500 vertical feet of melted Columbia Glacier is why I became a climate activist. A Helicopter Pilot brings his story. End bio of greyson morrow

Ever thought, this is IMPORTANT and I better find an expert(s)?  Might as well find the best.

After the shock of seeing this much ice melt in one career I spent 7 years researching reputable science organizations and travelling to listen to the best climate scientists, taking climate courses, and assembling mountains of science magazines. 

You may not want to devote yourself to 7 years of research. The good news is there are short cuts. Our US National Academies of Science and the Royal Society of the UK put together a one-minute video that will save you 7 years minus one minute of time. If you watch it twice, it is still a fairly good deal.

Note: The Royal Society is the world’s oldest continuously active Science Academy. Our NAS is arguably the most prominent. And, I have found no National Academy in disagreement with this one-minute video.

Legacy

Legacy is the masterpiece of Yann Artur-Bertrand. It is a must watch 1 hour and 41-minute documentary offered on Amazon Prime. (Prime is available for free on a one-month trial basis.) Inspired by his love of nature and humanity Bertrand has taken the wisdom attained through 50 years of observing nature and employed his mastery of film to give us a spellbinding history of earth and man. At this critical juncture in man’s ascent, it is his passion, a grandfather’s passion to protect his grandchildren, which drives him to excel at 76. If we look back to the days of Leonardo De Vinci or Michelangelo these geniuses had a very small audience with whom to communicate, to make a positive impression, and to create change. They communicated primarily with the aristocracy and the clergy.   There was no need to influence the masses since the common man was not involved in decision making. Commoners could not even read or write. Democracy has widened the base of decision making. By voting ...

Your Hero: Plato or Joe the Plumber?

My appreciation for the plumber came to me from opposite directions. As a semi-successful do-it-yourself plumber, I slowly learned a bit about the trade. I learned that when the sewer starts to backup plumbers should be reached by dialing 911.   Sorry Plato, you lose round one. But, what about the history of plumbing and its importance to human civilization? Plumbing history came to me accidentally.    While employed by the Military Sealift Command, I was “stuck” on the Island of Crete. Being stuck on Crete is not a hardship. In fact, you might pray that you suffer this fate one day. Before docking, I read in National Geographic, about an ancient civilization on Crete called the Minoan. In its heyday, young nimble girls would leap over charging bulls at festivals. In a way it was like modern Olympic gymnastics springboard competition between the horns. The article said there were frescos on preserved walls of the ancient Palace of Knossos depicting the event. ...

Becoming Wise Gardeners

Often, when we talk about saving the earth’s climate we talk about the number one problem, the need to switch energy sources from polluting and archaic fossil fuels to modern clean energy sources. More so, I enjoy reading and learning about the second simultaneous step we need to take to save the climate. Some of the Carbon Dioxide must be removed from the air and stored. Scientists use the terms Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS), or Carbon Capture and Utilization (CCU) to describe this. When carbon is captured it must be used or safely put somewhere. Today it is pumped back into the earth into old mines or oil fields. These mines and oil fields are called “sinks”. Mother Nature has a lot of natural sinks. For instance, I am sitting in my favorite rocking chair listening to music. My chair and my speakers are made of wood. Alive, or dead, a tree and its commercial product timber, are natural carbon sinks. In fact, any plant is a carbon sink. Far and away the best carbon sink...
