You could just go to my "hub" at www.Xuna.US, and from there easily link to most of my webs, including those 3 -above- which are referred to as "Science Beacons" (together with another one, www.ZUET.com ).

WHY THE GOVERNMENT IS NOT MORE PROACTIVE??

  •  +It was already mentioned in the home page that 97% of Scientists are non-believers (2014 PEW research on NAS, the National Academy of Sciences).

    THAT HAS BEEN THE MAIN SIEVE WHICH ELIMINATES SCIENTISTS FROM BECOMING SERIOUS CONTENDERS AS CANDIDATES TO PUBLIC OFFICES.    I CALL IT: “THE LAST BARRIER TO EQUALITY”, THE “ATHEIST BARRIER”.

    The biggest threat to humanity is CO2 CONTAMINATION OF THE AIR WE BREATH! Yet, nobody talks much about it. It gets lost in the noise of Global-Warming and Carbon Foot-print.

    ++ This ominous threat has been a major reason for me to decide to run for Congress in 2002, and again now, for 2016.

    ** As indicated above, we are currently at 410 ppm (parts per million), and CO2 is rising at 3 ppm per year, and the long-term slope is getting higher each decade. It will take –at most- 200 YEARS for CO2 to reach TOXIC LEVEL FOR HUMANS, which is 1000 ppm (when –permanently- submerged in that mix). Please, do that simple high-school math yourself!

    ++ What about other threats, like GLOBAL WARMING and SEA-LEVEL RISE ? The answer is that,..

  •  WE NEED TO TACKLE FIRST THE [#1] ... CO2 PROBLEM.

  • CO2 causes the [#2] ... GREEN-HOUSE EFFECT!!

  • And that causes [#3] ... GLOBAL-WARMING!

  • Which then causes melting of glaciers and ice (in Antarctica, Greenland, and other places),

  • Which takes us to [#4] ... SEA-LEVEL RISE.

    So the culprit is CO2!
    The other problems are secondary, and caused by the first!

    ** PIONEERING CO2-WATCHDOG:
    It was 24 YEARS AGO (1991, when I was 42) that I wrote a book, about ‘Energy Policy in America’ . One picture accompanying this page indicates that -back then- I talked about CO2, and the calamitous effects it causes (at this level it has reached in the last 100 years). Also I mentioned the HUGE threat to humanity that it would become in another 200 years, progressively converting “fresh air” into “foul air”.

    • The book was titled “US Energy Policy: S.O.S [Scared Ostrich Syndrome]” … all pages of the book have been displayed for years FREE online, at my non-profit “science beacon” web www.PetrolSOS.com .
    • Many related topics can also be read in yet two other “science beacons” www.ZUET.com (Zeroing in Underground Energy Technologies, where before moving into “Alternative Energies” it is explained the problems caused by burning coal and gas). And at www.DoomedGlobe.com (which has an emphasis on CO2 contamination, and Sea-level rise, as well as in universal flooding).
    • I am planning on dedicating –soon- more time to these last two important websites, as to improve their visibility and clarity. Please bear with me, it is a lot of work, and few seem to appreciate my non-profit efforts along many years.

    Furthermore, it was 36 YEARS AGO (1979, when I was 30) when I wrote an article on OIL DEPLETION which I sent to President Jimmy Carter, and to our Congress. That was more than 2 decades before ASPO came to exist (Association for the Study of Peak Oil and Gas, founded by Colin Campbell in 2000) and it was ASPO that was able to bring “peak-oil” to the forefront, not me :O( .

    • My article on “peak oil” can be read in its entirely in another “science beacon” web www.OilDepletion.com. You would be able to entertain yourself reading as well about my legal battle with Business Week Magazine (they shamefully plagiarized the article, without giving any credit to the Author).

  • Lawyers indicated I had not copyrighted the article, and I desisted to pursue suing.  Then years later I realized I had been decieved.  Copyright was no needed because I had plenty of evidence from 'return receipts' that the article had been sent to them, and to the White House.  Justice will be done ... some day!

    o All these webs are “Legacy to the People”, which means they have been left unaltered since created.

    On another page I already wrote about the need for MORE SCIENTISTS IN THE US CONGRESS !! The major reason being: “we -dearly- need a better understanding (especially at the higher levels of Government) of the threats posed by CO2, looming our environment and our survival”. It is sad to say that, we have TOO MANY CONGRESSMEN WHO ARE -SCIENTIFICALLY- ILLITERATE!!

    ** YOU OWE IT TO YOURSELF, TO YOUR FAMILY, TO THE WORLD, AND TO THE COUNTRY TO SUPPORT ME (AS WELL AS ANY OTHER CANDIDATE WHO IS A SCIENTIST) AS TO HELP US REACH SEATS IN THE US CONGRESS.

    Currently, THERE ARE ONLY 11 CONGRESSMEN WHO ARE SCIENTISTS (out of 535 in both chambers, House and Senate).

Sea-level Rise

 How Florida would be impacted by sea-level rise? (as well as the whole American Eastern seaboard, and low-lands worldwide).

• I have limited space here, so I want to address only –for now- sea level rise , which is about 3mm per year, and accelerating!

Even if it were to be rising with flat slope (and not curving) in 1000 years it will accrue to 3m (10 feet) of sea-level rise.  Keep in mind that for each 1 foot of going up in the ocean level  it moves 19 feet inland, on average.  So -in 1000 years- this implies a loss of near 200 feet of shoreline, and it will get a lot worse!… Ultimately, Florida will be totally submerged (in another 2000 years or less). The Everglades will be brackish in just 200 years.

• I also need to tell you that each year the content of CO2 in the atmosphere is going up by 3 ppm/year, and we are now near 410 ppm.

• What is worse is that the slope is not flat, but -it seems- that is also curving up –exponentially- as Global Warming worsens. 

• This is even more threatening that sea-level rise.  Why?

  •  Because, in order to avoid “global flooding”, you could relocate inland, or to the Appalachian Mountains, or to Colorado (for instance, Denver -where I used to live- is 1 mile above sea-level), but would never be able to escape from foul air.  1,000 ppm is toxic, and if you do the math, it will take less than 200 years to get there. At current accelerating rates we will be there in 2100.

•  Yet, I suggest you visit one of my “science beacons” (www.DoomedGlobe.com ), where this research I did, 8 years ago, is displayed.
