The Serious Game of Eco-Politics: Playing with the Global Environment Part l

Many inhabitants on the planet earth do not realize how perilous  and dangerously  close we are to total annihilation of the planet. The Protocols of the International Agreement of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change(UNFCC) has concluded that our home planet, earth is within 2 degrees Celsius of seeing some of the most monumental disastrous calamities of historical proportions occur due to uncontrollable phenomenal weather events ever . The UNFCC created a group of nations and parties to convene to annually look  at just how close we are in reaching that "point of no return" and  and measure them. The experts and scientific community have agreed that it is vital to human survival that we maintain the earth's climate less another increase of just 2 degrees Celsius. 

From the UNFCC , the committee that sees over these climate changes, the COP (Conference of the Parties) was created . This year in November 2016 the 22nd meeting of the COP will convene as the COP22 in Marrakesh, Morocco. Here the member states which were initially just 18 nations of the current 197 that have signed the Paris Accord will again meet to determine the earth's ecological and environmental status and how to meet the challenge of keeping us all alive.

Within the UNFCC is also the IPC or International Panel for Climate Change, which states that GHG(Green House Gases) have increased by 70 % in the last 40 years than the last 6000 years of recorded history! The UNFCC is primarily focusing on mitigating the circumstances via a "mitigation policy", however we need to investigate all possible causes whether it is the exponential growth of the population, the industrial revolution, no national or international "Green policies" or sanctions on pollution and polluters or the entire paradigm as we exist in supported   by the social and economic  order today. The UNFCC with the advice of the IPC has suggested that sustainability of adequate human conditions are in great harm if the temperature of the planet increases by  just 2 degrees Celsius further if this is not maintained at this level by the year 2020.

Thus, there is a major global focus and emphasis on the year 2020 in many global policies occurring. These include the Paris Accord(Agreement) reached in 2016, The Kyoto Protocol, and COP22 recommendations. Concurrently we are seeing the rise of economic policies that may challenge environmental policies such as greater and faster rates of developing countries that are increasing their emissions of carbon at such a rapid rate that can not be adequately measured or sanctioned by a global policy. New economic groups and trade policies such as the TPP(Trans Pacific Partnership, the BRICS(Brazil, Russia, India, China, South America) , the AIIB(Asian Infrastructure and Investment Bank) , SOC, and ASEAN are shifting trade policy based on financial wealth, growth and population particular from the far eastern nations. 

It is very doubtful that "cap-and trade" , trade sanctions , population control or the use of alternative fuels are adequately satisfying the condition to limit the rise in temperature at an acceptable. Neither wind, solar or hydro power , though  considered renewable are not attractive enough to corporations and nations because they are cumbersome to build and maintain and most importantly they can not turn a big profit as current fossil fuels.

Another part of the struggle of achieving the goal of  preventing a 2 degrees Celsius  rise and maintaining it is that many developing nations are dissatisfied with the outcome that they will be "taxed"  just as very advanced developed states which are the greater polluters. This has caused some resentment of this united effort to fairly approach the problem equitably due to the disproportionate emissions over them being just a partner-state and co-signee of the Paris Accords. Many of these under-developed countries are greatly impoverished and in debt by many of the same economic and trade policies that are competing with the environmental policies.

Ecology Squared Part 2

Many of us in the modern era are aware that there already exists alternatives to fossil fuels . Many of us have either heard or attempted to utilize wind, solar, and  hydro forms of energy Even though they are renewable types, they all require being put into cumbersome storage forms before being usable. There has been even attempts to put cold fusion into use as a means even after what has happened in Fukushima(still spilling nuclear waste into the Pacific Ocean), Three Mile Island and Chernobyl.

But, many of us have not been taught the history and effective practical planet-saving technology uses  of Nikola Tesla whose works in electro-magnetic Alternating Current form of electricity marveled the world by lighting up most of Houston street down to China Town, Little Italy and near down to the Battery in the late 1800s New York City. Nikola Tesla's AC generators  were able to harness the  massive hydro-energy of Niagara Falls. His towers were built to harness energy with coils set up at kep locations throughout the world that could power the entire planet.

Mr. Tesla's technology lit up entire cities from Aurora, Colorado to New York City and led the way to engineering radio, television, the internet, satellite, remote control, wi-fi,  X-rays. electro-magnetic  healing power in medicine, and SDI(Star Wars). This was all begun in the late 1800s. Why do we not celebrate this pioneer with a holiday or in high school science books or history books?  The visionary whose brilliant ideas were capable of powering all of the planet for "free". 

Isn't it odd that  the 19th and 20th century captains of industry opposed his ideas of getting us off fossil fuel after he had already calculated what the emissions and super heating affects would have on the future centuries? Isn't it in the least bit concerning that most of this man's patents were  either compromised, stolen are collaborated with other inventors  so that they took a great part of the credit and further pushed Tesla into obscurity. This policy was known to be furthered  by the likes of name such as  Westinghouse , J.P. Morgan and Edison. Why?

What have we gained by taking the path of  only utilizing Direct Current electricity as the primary source of power and carbon based fossil fuel being our major energy source? Is it not time for us to immediately institute Tesla Technology that was demonstrated by his  electromagnetic towers built in Colorado and New Jersey which  amazed  not only the public , but the major  industrialists themselves? 

What impact would powering the entire  planet  "for free" based on Tesla Technology have on the economy, environment, the social health and individual health of this planet? What impact  would it have on the planets clean air because there there would be no emissions. What impact would no spillage or run off  from power plants and manufacturers have on our water ways and our soil? 

The Paris Agreement, COP 21, and Koyoto Agreement all point to a very troubling time  head that will occur with climate change as a result to  super-heating  of the globe already happening from methane gas seeping up from beneath our ocean floors and the melting of  the polar Artic icebergs. 

The Economic impact would be legend because all things depend upon energy from transportation, home heating, hot water, manufacturing,  labor, commerce, and even solar and hydro power needs coal or oil  energies to run which is redundant. 

An economy that is balanced with the environment is what a true clean ecology looks like. It means that a new and more altruistic economy based on a humane  idea of banking and lending system could be created without putting nations into miserable debt because all production requiring energy will be  essentially "free". All costs on production, manufacturing, transporting products, agriculture, and cost living would be reduced  massively while maintaining a cleaner planet.

A form of  Neo-Capitalism (in US)or Neo-Socialism (in Europe)that is not predatory,  vulturistic", nor  cannibalistic can develop an altruistic credit system and  allow humanity to thrive with  a better  opportunity for conditions on the planet  to improve. Countries including the USA are using the model of the co-op as a means to make this transition. Argentina is the best example how on a national scale inroads such as  this may be possible. But, economic scholars , financial experts, actuaries, sociologist, physicist, climate geologist, ecologist, and marine biologist will have to become as equally important in sharing the power  of directing construct ion of  planetary  renewal and survival , not just bankers and commodity traders or politicians for that matter.

2000 years ago a  bold hermit -healer born in Nazareth decided  one day  to take on the establishment by coming into the financial-social and religious center known as the temple. He rebuked the bankers at the time known as money changers and thrashed them as well as threw them out of the temple.He did this because of the misery suffered by the people from high interest rates that their exchange-banking system created in the community as well as  the illicit behaviors created  that were pervasive amongst its hierarchy .The same mockery to the system remains today   after some 2000 years later only to become more cancerous as the misery of debt compiles for nations and individuals alike.

Only with a more a true Altruistic Credit System can this misery be transformed so that the greatest energy of all, human energy and human potential can again thrive and flourish. 

As Nikola Tesla technology is implemented and the entire planet is powered up for "cost", then we will begin to see positive shifts and changes occuring that will balance our planet  and prevent further destruction. This measures must and can be instituted by government engineers, central banks, the Bank of International Settlement, the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, USAID, UNICEF as well as NATO as weith other large militaries,   the BRICS nations,  as well as nation members of the ASEAN,  TPP, CAFTA, NAFTA, OECD and the WTO.

It is time to stop amassing billions to trillions of dollars in funds to destroy our planet  further with new weaponry or civil industrial manufacturing and technology that continues to pollute our struggling tiny blue ball of life. Not only lower life species will go extinct with this path, but so will all of humanity.

There are always consequences for those who are willing to "challenge" the status quo , but what choices do we have  left if it continues this way?

New World Energy (Ecology squared): Part 1

20,000 years ago the Cromagnon species  of humankind left  cold icey caves while  taking another 10,000 years for our Neandarthal ancestors to utilize pitch-tar as the only source of warmth, food and a light and weapon. 30,000 years later our modern day  society  attributes 75 %  of  our energy costs due  to fossil fuels. How is it  that  the majority of energy  we utilize today is  the same as our "cave men and women" ancestors? Is this  to be considered real "evolution"?

New World Currency

As we have come into the 21st century we appear to be coming into an era known as the "cashless society". The use of devices anywhere from credit cards, debit cards, Pay Pal, cube, online banking and many other forms are examples how we can pay or transact to acquire goods and services. But, I offer you the possibility of the use of another paperless method, Altruism". That is what if only performing good, humanitarian deeds that help to promote humanity, inspire knowledge and improving the human condition on earth to preserve the planet in a way to assure sustainability was tracked by a digital system that would award credits to you to acquire goods and services. This method would base your ability to acquisitions based on an your own service to humanity and would therefore insure reduction in crime, selfishness, narcissism , apathy, isolationism and benefit our humanity by creating a built in system to do good for others which gives the opportunity to acquire more for oneself. Face it, we are already in a digital credit system of awarding goods and services by no real assuredness the credits come from good deeds, or deeds that have ulterior motives or questionable intentions. The "Altruistic Credit System" inspires deeds to uplift humanity . We are at a great impasse in human history that causes for us all to consider putting alternatives into effect or we risk becoming like the story of the Titans that consumed their own . The Alternative "Altruism Credit System" pays for itself while driving humanity to do good even if an individual at first is not intentionally doing so. A new approach for a new age.

Critical Mass : Tipping Points

The 21st century has already begun and we are apparently no where any closer to finding daylight as numerous critical problems surmount. The 21st century began with the continuation of an ominous major economic collapse which still wanes globally and the possibility of world war 3 looming in the midst. We all share and breath the same air, benefit from the same sun, receive nutrition from the same earth and drink the same water, how can resources become only a national priority unless it becomes only designated to a certain select few which threatens to create world strife. It would appear that the solution(s) would be constructed toward becoming more aware about preserving or enhancing what little we have left of the biosphere and create positions and roles that benefit our environment on a local and national level. It means every occupation, every profession, every policy and every action we take must literally be taken with the consideration of sustainability of our planet first before any other benefit and thus becomes a prime directive of the planet. This doesn't mean that industries such as business, methods of mass transportation or industry can not exist, it means, rather, that they must advance through methods that can not harm, limit or destroy these multi-shared resources that everyone of the planet requires to subsist, as well as preserve life. If not we may perish as a race. At the beginning of the 20th century the idea of "free energy" as a method to sustain the world was already being introduced not only as a scientific method that was proven to work, but one that could complement the economic framework for the planet to survive. It was passed over for competing methods that created benefits monetarily for just a few and further harmed the planet. It has now lead to a critical point on the planet and it will take the same captains of industry to review what was created by these results of their decision and chose an alternative that enhances not only the quantity of capital benefits , but capitalizing on benefiting the quality of life on this planet.
