End Wars to Stop Global Warming with Free Energy and Hemp for Victory!

This a current comprehensive summary of the overlooked problems and
solutions associated with today's increasingly catastrophic manifestations
of global climate change and what you can do about it by bringing out the
facts to wake folks up to the need to redirect resources away from war and
preparations for war into solving critical environmental problems before it
is too late.  An EarthDay1999 message.

Thank you Jean for your fine networking and for taking seriously the need to
further discuss the thesis I have advanced based on data not commonly
considered by environmental activists regarding seriouly depleting
atmospheric oxygen levels and their impact on ozone layer depletion.   In
fact, hard figures and data on oxygen levels are even harder to come by than
carbon dioxide levels but I will offer here the basis for my understanding
on this point.   I hope that the information and logic that I will summarize
below can motivate those in your network with the information access
resources to take this seriously enough to find additional hard data and to
bring this issue in to the mainstream public debate on a par with the
greenhouse effect.

First, as a chemist, I can tell you unequivocably that for each molecule of
carbon dioxide produced by the metabolism of animals and by the combustion
of fossil fuels that there is one molecule of oxygen removed from the
atmosphere.  About this there is no doubt as it is fundamental to the
stoiciometry of the chemistry involved.  Thus on a qualitative level there
can be no valid counter-argument of this fact.  The enormous increases each
year in the combustion of oxygen by fossil fuels combined with the massive
deforestation of our planet of the trees that normally consume carbon
dioxide and produce oxygen has reached a level where the overall oxygen
levels in the upper atmosphere have diminished to the point of seriously
interfering with the delicate balance of ozone layer production even aside
from the disasterous effects of chlorine and other halogen pollutions
interfering with this phototropic production of the ozone layer.  This
qualitative evaluation was first brought to my attention by Adam Trombly,
the director of Project Earth in Colorado founded by Buckminster Fuller and
which uses succeeding generations of the latest computers to do enviromental
modeling with the continuous input of atmospheric measurements over the
years.  Trombly reported on July 31, 1988, that the trend at that time gave
grave predictions for many adverse changes in atmospheric dynamics including
the prediction that if this trend were not reversed by ending the combustion
of fossil fuels and saving the trees by 1998 we would begin to go through a
"point of no return" after which it would be inevitable that by the year
2008 the ozone layer depletion would be severe enough to allow sufficient
solar radiation to penetrate the atmosphere so as to destroy ALL of the
oceanic phytoplankton which are not only the beginning of the oceanic
foodchain but also the one celled plants that produce over half of Earth's
oxygen supply --- a condition that since then I have been discussing as an
oxygen crisis which portends the destruction of life on Earth as we know it.
When I spoke with Trombly in May of 1997 he said that all of their computer
modeling predictions had come true on target in the preceding years and as
evidence of this he discussed the predicted increases in storm intensities
and storm wind velocities that we have been observing, saying that it would
get much worse as it has.  Even if his picture is a "worst case scenario" it
is my strong conviction that any comprehensive plan to address the
amelioration of global climate change must be sufficiently broad to include
a way to address this worst case possibility.  Trombly was one of the
scientists on the team sent by Earth Island Institute to oversee and direct
the unprecedented international effort which successfully and quickly
extinguished the Iraq war Kuwaiti oil fires of high chlorine content oil.
The Project Earth website is http://www.projectearth.com and he may be
emailed from that site.

With regard to quantitative data on atmospheric oxygen levels, the only
numbers that I have seen which support Trombly's position are quite sketchy
and not well attributed as to who made the measurements, with the exception
of the figure I mentioned previously from 1998 DOE CNES of a 33% increase in
atmospheric carbon dioxide since pre-industrial times and I suspect based on
the history of our government that this is very conservative estimate.  This
does not mean a 33% decrease in atmospheric oxygen since the level of
atmospheric oxygen is far greater so the percentage of its depletion would
be far less, but the actual amounts of change are exactly the same,
stoiciometrically.   The best information that I have seen is that present
overall atmospheric oxygen levels are in any case nowhere near the 21% that
you quoted but closer to 18-19%.  I have seen figures of 14-16% in some
areas and 11-13% in areas around cities where a lot of combustion is taking
place.  Exact and accurate figures, as you can imagine, especially ones that
everyone will agree with, are extremely difficult to find, at least for me
with my newness to the internet and limited informational resources.
Whatever the actual amounts are, it is patently evident from the qualitative
analysis and undeniable trends of combustion and deforestation that this
argument warrents the application of due diligence in its more comprehensive
evalutation, and quickly.

As to how to address amelioration of this problem, two factors must be
addressed.  How to reverse, not just reduce, the trends of increasing
atmospheric carbon dioxide and decreasing atmospheric oxygen.  The Kyoto
Protocol goals of simply reducing the rate of increased carbon dioxide
production to those of 1991 levels over the next ten years or so is simply
not adequate.  We need to REVERSE this trend to solve these problems and get
back to a healthy balance, not just slow the rate of increases in this
problem.

I have to go now to an appointment but will soon respond once again on my
reasoning and details behind my conclusion that the free energy technologies
and widespread hemp cultivation are the most important two areas for public
activism on how to solve the problems of climate change, before it is too
late if it is not already.  In the phone conversation I mentioned above with
Trombly, he said that he personally felt that it was already too late and he
was very upset to have to tell his 16year old daughter that there was no
future for life on Earth.

I have posted some of the details on these problems and solutions on my
GEAR2000 website below.

Stop Global Warming with Free Energy and Hemp for Victory!

Subject: To Ameliorate Global Warming, Ozone Layer Depletion
Date: Thursday, April 22, 1999 2:47 PM

This is the second part of my response to Jean Hudon and Earth Rainbow
Network about the nature, scope, and remediation of overlooked hindrance
factors relating to adverse climate change, particularly ozone layer
depletion which is the "flip-side" to the greenhouse effect on the "coin" of
climate change.   Ozone layer depletion allows increased levels of high
energy solar radiation to penetrate the atmosphere and in the area of
Antarctica, where the ozone layer depletion is most severe, recent reports
below indicate alarmingly increased melting of ice.

Since there was no dispute of my contention of the need to investigate and
promote the so-called free-energy technologies to replace nuclear and fossil
fuel power I will not go into more details here but refer for more info to
links and discussions on the GEAR2000 website below.  The main thing
activists can do on this issue is to investigate it more deeply and to
support Dr. Ehsan Khan at the DOE in his efforts to get funding for the
development of these technologies in conjunction with Dr. Hal Puthoff's
efforts in theoretical physics to understand the already successful
experiments in this area, recognize that what has been previously mislabeled
as "cold fusion" is indeed a promising reality, and support private efforts
such as Dr. Hal Fox with the Insitute for New Energy whose LENT (Low Energy
Nuclear Transmutation) technologies offer the additional advantage of
neutralizing radioactive wastes.

Regarding the question about my claims that the most important thing that
can be done to ameliorate global climate change, by reversing not just
reducing the present trend of increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide and
decreasing atmospheric oxygen resultant from fossil fuel combustion, is an
environmental-emergency-level resurrection on a global scale of the USDA's
1941-45 Hemp for Victory "crash program" to grow this plant as widely as
possible as soon as possible, I will offer here a very brief summary of the
information and logic on this that I submitted in my public comments
offering to DOE on CNES last year.  If there is an interest I will post
those details on that website where url links already can now be found to
the full hempstory, with authoritative source references, below summarized.

[jackherer.com and chrisconrad.com links are on GEAR2000 site]--dcw

Even if we now had these new energy technologies in place, eliminating
entirely the combustion of fossil fuels, this would still not solve the
climate change problem because of the fact that so many trees have already
been destroyed and the atmospheric balance has already been so severely
disturbed, the present trend of increasingly catastrophic global climate
would continue, just at a lower rate of acceleration.  The only way to
actually begin to heal the atmosphere by replenishing atmospheric oxygen and
reducing carbon dioxide levels is to first figure out how to save the
remaining forests and then in the same move figure out the best way to
regreen the planet as rapidly as possible with whatever plants can best
consume maximum amounts of carbon dioxide, producing equivalent amounts of
oxygen, as rapidly as possible.  Two factors need to be considered.  One is
the comparative bioefficiency of candidate plants (the amount of oxygen
produced per acre per year which is directly proportional to the amount of
biomass per acre per year) and second is the pragmatic consideration of
which plants have the best economic motivations so that they can/will in
fact for that reason actually BE widely planted.

The best overall candidate (not the only one but the best by far) is the
hemp plant, the most valuable plant in human history (a history carefully
censored from the population for reasons explained below) for the overall
majority of today's needs for paper, fiber, fuel, food, medicines, composite
construction materials, chemical feedstocks, etc.  The most bioefficient
plants are older mature trees.  With respect to new plantings on empty land,
the US governement studies indicate that at least 4.1 times as much paper
can be made from an acre of hemp than an acre of trees over a 20 year
average period.  Most of the trees cut for their cellulose are used in
making paper, cardboard, and construction forms.  All of these products, and
many other composite construction materials (with modern technology), can be
more efficiently made from hemp cellulose thus saving trees.  Hemp produces
multiple times more biomass per acre than any other plant.  Because of all
of its uses (fiber is better, stronger, longer lasting, etc; seeds are
second only to soybeans in protein but more digestible and contain immune
system activation fatty acids;  anything made from petroleum can be made
from biomass by pyrolysis, etc., etc., etc.) the hemp plant is overall the
best choice for solving the problems described above relating to healing the
atmosphere and thereby ameliorating the greenhouse effect and the ozone
layer depletion that is being exacerbated by reduction in the atmospheric
oxygen from which the ozone layer is produced by sunlight acting on oxygen,
the process already seriously compromised by chemical pollutions
(principally chlorine and other halogens from the breakdown of
halogenated hydrocarbons).

The only problem is that the hemp plant has been outlawed since 1937 by a
fraud perpetrated on the American Congress and people by calling it
marijuana in an historic and successful effort by certain industrialists,
and their banker and his nephew who was in charge of implementing this fraud
from his postion within the goverment narcotics agency.  This fraud involved
William Randolph Hearst, Andrew Mellon, and the DuPont Chemical Company and
it was initiated to protect financial interests in forests for paper,
chemicals to make that paper (sulphuric acid, at the time 90% of DuPont's
business) and later the petrochemical fiber and drug industries.  Anyone who
is interested in the real facts on this can check details and find this to
be absolutely true.  The drug policies which still prevail keeping this
plant outlawed are a criminal act effecting the future of life on Earth and
the lack of fortitude on the part of the activists who are propagandized
against hemp and fear to investigate and take a public stand on the truth of
this matter are in fact participating in this criminal act if they do not
take this information seriously and take action before it is too late.

Hello

This - the diminishing percentage of oxygen in the atmosphere because of
everything we burn (see below) - has also been for me a great concern for a
long while, but I never saw any scientific data proving this. Anyone can
provide them?

Maybe Gaia has somehow maintained the homeostatic correct 21% oxygen
balance so far, but with the dwingling biomass to replenish it (plankton
and plant life being now widely destroyed), this feat is jeopardized IMHO.

Subject: Ozone layer depletion and global warming
Date: Tue, 20 Apr 1999

In addition to the widely talked about impact on global warming due to the
greenhouse effect of increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide (a 33% increase
since pre-industrial times according to the DOE's 1998 Comprehensive
National Energy Strategy (CNES)http://www.hr.doe.gov/nesp/cnes.html ) the
"flip side" of the greenhouse effect also adding to global warming,
especially in the Antarctic area, is the ozone layer depletion that allows
more high energy radiation to penetrate the atmosphere.  What is not
discussed yet by any media or even environmental activists or organizations
is that the fundamental root of the ozone layer depletion is not in fact the
chemical pollutions like chlorine from bleaches and the breakdown of
halogenate hydrocarbons (although those are VERY serious factors) but the
main cause is the reduction in atmospheric oxygen from the same fossil fuel
combustion that produces increased carbon dioxide levels.  The reduction in
the atmospheric oxygen (from which ozone is made naturally) is exactly equal
to the increase in carbon dioxide (in actual amounts, not percentages).
This factor is virtually unknown to the general public.  In July 1988
computer environmental modeling experts made a number of predictions all of
which have been coming true on target.  One of those was that by 2008 the
ozone layer will be sufficiently depleted that the extra solar irradiation
will destroy ALL of the phytoplankton in the oceans, the one celled plants
at the beginning of the oceanic food chain that produce over half of Earth's
oxygen supply.  Already there is widespread damage and reductions in
phytoplankton populations.

How to solve this problem?  We must eliminate fossil fuel energy
technologies and replace them with  the new proven but suppressed so-called
"free energy" technologies (also mentioned in CNES, on p.57) and do
something to regreen the planet on an emergency basis to save the trees that
are left and to replenish atmospheric oxygen while reducing carbon dioxide.
By far the best plant to do this, because it produces over four times as
much biomass per acre and because of its economic values to motivate
widespread cultivation, is the hemp plant which has been fraudulently
outlawed as marijuana since 1937.   More details on the both pragmatic and
spiritual level solutions are found and referenced at

Global warming may increase ozone hole
March 29, 1999

Despite international measures to reduce atmospheric concentrations
of ozone destroying halogens to protect the ozone layer, global
warming may lead to a weakening of the ozone layer, according to
international scientists.

A team of German, Swiss and British scientists reported in the March 26
issue of the journal Science that while future climate change is expected to
heat up the lower atmosphere it is likely to cool the air at the altitude of
the ozone layer in the stratosphere.

Cooler air in the stratosphere may lead to increased polar stratospheric
clouds, which are believed to play an essential role in ozone hole
chemistry.

In particular, the cloud particles may settle lower atmospheric layers,
thereby removing trace gases which under normal circumstances lead to a
deactivation of ozone-destroying chlorine.

In other words, in a colder stratosphere the sediment particles may inhibit
an important mechanism protecting ozone.

Melting of Antarctic ice shelves accelerates...04/09/99

SEE THE ATTACHED PICTURE I SENT YOU ALL TO ILLUSTRATE THIS ARTICLE!!

(ENN) Decades of warming temperatures in the Antarctic have caused two
ice shelves to break up and melt faster than
anyone expected, scientists from Colorado and the United Kingdom said
Wednesday. A warming trend in the region has caused the annual melt
season to increase by two to three weeks over the last 20 years, say
researchers at the University of Colorado at Boulder's National Snow and
Ice Data Center and the British Antarctic Survey. In fact, the Larsen B
and Wilkens ice sheets on the Antarctic Peninsula have lost nearly 3,000
square kilometers of their total area in the last year, according to
satellite photos monitored by NSIDC.

According to the photos, the Larsen B ice shelf on the eastern side of
the peninsula has continued to crumble after an initial
small retreat in spring 1998. In a series of events that began in
November 1998, an additional 1,714 square kilometers of shelf
area caved away, said Research Associate Ted Scambos of CU-Boulder's
NSIDC.

On the southwest side of the peninsula, the Wilkins ice shelf retreated
nearly 1,100 square kilometers in early March of last
year, said Scambos. His team and colleagues at the British Antarctic
Survey in Cambridge had predicted the breakup would
happen and had their suspicions confirmed by satellite radar images.

"The radar images showed a large area of completely shattered ice,
indicating an ice front 35 kilometers back from its previous
extent," said Scambos. "The sudden appearance of thousands of small
icebergs suggests that the shelves are essentially broken
up in place and then flushed out by storms or currents afterward."

Scientists: Antarctic ice shelves breaking up fast
April 8, 1999

WASHINGTON (Reuters) --
Two Antarctic ice shelves have broken up more quickly than anyone predicted,
indicating that the effects of global warming may be accelerating,
scientists said on Wednesday.

They published satellite images showing the Larsen B and Wilkins ice
shelves in "full retreat," having lost nearly 1,100 square miles (3,000
square km) of their total area in the last year.

Ted Scambos of the University of Colorado at Boulder said his team and
colleagues at the British Antarctic Survey in Cambridge had predicted the
break-up would happen, but not this quickly.

"It happened much faster than we thought," Scambos said in a telephone
interview. "Within this last calendar year we saw a retreat not only on
Larsen but the Wilkins."

...Sea level rising

According to the U.S. Geological Survey, global sea level has risen about 4
inches (10 cm) during the past century. It says if all the Earth's glaciers
melted, which is unlikely, sea levels would rise by 260 feet (80 meters).

Antarctica, the fifth largest continent, contains about 90 percent of the
world's glacial ice.
