SAVE OUR SOULS: BURN LESS CARBON
We are overheating our planet by combusting carbon. Centuries of accumulated carbon-dioxide in the atmosphere is stifling us. We should have fixed this problem years ago, but the reality is that adverse change is accelerating.
If we don't start effective carbon dioxide reduction soon, we will have more firestorms, floods, droughts, failed crops, flooding sea levels, bleached coral reefs, killer cyclones and hurricanes. Much of our land will become uninhabitable; lethal and cruel wars for possession of the dwindling inhabitable land will be the result. Vast numbers of people will die from famine and war.
HUMANS CAN MAKE A SAFE, SIMPLE AND EFFECTIVE CHANGE: BURN LESS CARBON.
HERE IS HOW:
Replace coal and gas fired power stations with renewable energy from the wind, sun, tides, hydro-dams and hot rocks;
For Persistent Energy, pump water into elevated dams and run it through turbines when needed; add to the 496 operating nuclear power-stations across the world and immobilise the waste in SYNROC; start research into the use of cleaner Thorium as nuclear fuel;
Adopt 'Smart Grid' technology across the world to improve efficiency and reliability, extend grids to form a global energy management system;
Harness massive tides in places like North-West Australia; use out-of-phase tides end elevated hydro-electric 'batteries' for continuous energy generation;
Change our urban design to replace cars with efficient mass transport like trains and trams;
Reduce our energy requirements by insulating and passively managing the temperature in our houses and workplaces;
Environmentally control our dwellings and workplaces with direct photovoltaic powered air conditioners;
Extinguish wild-fires faster; put out persistent natural fires in coal seams and peat bogs;
Re-afforest bare land to absorb carbon dioxide, plant trees in our urban areas to cool the environment;
Desalinate water with wind energy, store the water and cultivate barren land.
