Climate Change-CO2 Production-Opinion

Problem Statement:

            You can't talk about climate change without discussing CO2 production, if you believe it is one of the causes. Some do not believe that CO2 is the cause of global warming, but I do. Climate change is so much more than CO2. It is over population, it is about power generation, and a host of other causes. This may seem extreme to you, but in my opinion, the earth's environment will be destroyed by overpopulation. As we approach nine billion people, the environment doesn't have a chance. All we can do is slow down the rate of change. For this segment I am going to limit my comments to the production of CO2. In other posts I will take on other aspects of climate change and my ideas to solve or mitigate the problem, or otherwise cool the planet.
            It is too late to reduce CO2. The horses are out of the barn, if you will. The burning of fossil fuels generates CO2. Coal, oil, gasoline, natural gas, wood, diesel, and so forth. Breathing generates CO2, from rats to humans. Mammals, lizards, birds, insects, in short all animals take in O2 and exhale or give off CO2.
            The United States is gradually replacing its aging coal fired power plants with gas turbines that burn natural gas. I have heard that China and India are set to build dozens of new coal fired plants. The civilization becomes more and more dependent on electrical power. CO2 levels will continue to go up.

Virginia Rackets

Virginia Rackets Last year, I was caught speeding in Lexington County Virginia doing 85mph in a 65 zone. Guilty as charged, except I was attempting to pass a truck doing 60 at the top of the hill and 80 at the bottom. I was pulled over and ticketed for reckless driving, a misdemeanor. The truck was not stopped. The following week when I arrived back home, my mailbox was filled with dozens of offers from Virginia attorneys guaranteeing they could get the charges dropped for a fee! Now hold on! A guarantee means only one thing. The attorneys and judges of Virginia are running a racket! I was facing a misdemeanor charge, and a lot of hassle, so I decided to pay the fee and so contribute to their unethical conspiracy. Okay, I’m grumpy about this. But a league between the Virginia judges and attorneys where traffic offenders van be guaranteed charges will be dropped for money is corruption and racketeering. What’s more, it has created an industry of hundreds of crooked attorneys and jud

Russian Billionaires

Russian Billionaires Why don’t Russian billionaires spend their money on the needs of the Russian people, instead of laundering it into western banks? Surely there are poor people in Russia who could use a hand. An orphanage or a rural community on hard times. A bridge needed or a farm tractor somewhere. I’m not an authority on Russian poverty, but how many jets, yachts and houses does it take to satisfy these guys? Some of them can’t possible spend all that they have, ever. Putin, Deripaska, and others need to stop and consider how they can use their fortunes to help their country, not leave it behind. Help for the here and now. Okay you guys, you have a choice. Tyranny and greed verses kindness and charity. Was Stalin a good example in Russian history? Your time on this earth will also pass. How do you want to be remembered? https://www.amazon.com/Without-Warning-Rabb-Marcellus-ebook/dp/B00B8L2TH2/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1542196239&sr=8-3&keywords=rabb+marcellus

Russian Election Interference

Russian Election Interference The US needs to retaliate against Russia for their interference in our elections. It needs to be a cyber action that is severe enough to make them stop any more interference. Problem is, our infrastructure is more thoroughly controlled by computers than theirs. Hydroelectric dams, power plants, factories etc. are connected to the internet using SCADA (System Control and Data Acquisition) software. This allows process computers, such as Allen-Bradley or Siemens, to be controlled over the internet. Plant Managers! You need to pull that Cat-5 cable out of your process computer and forget about remote control. This will prevent your plant from being attacked by some agent in Russia or anywhere else. Once our government is confident this has been done on critical plants, they should mount a cyber-attack against Russia that shuts down power all over the country or otherwise make them pay a heavy price for their actions. Of course they will harden their syste
