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. From: David Crockett Williams To: jean hudon [Earth Rainbow Network] Subject: Re: Oxygen depletion data requested Date: Wednesday, April 21, 1999 11:53 AM 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. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Global Emergency Alert Response http://www.angelfire.com/on/GEAR2000 ********************************************************* gear2000@lightspeed.net GENERAL AGENCY SERVICES David Crockett Williams 661-822-3309 20411 Steeple Court, Tehachapi CA 93561 USA ********************************************************* The Global Peace Walk 1999-2000 1999: 22APR Taos, NM, ---> Santa Fe 26APR 2000: 15JAN San Francisco --> New York 24OCT 19SEP* Washington, DC, Ceremony Rededicating The Washington Monument as a Symbol of Peace. *3rd Tuesday of September is annual opening of UN General Assembly & International Day of Peace October 24th is United Nations Day "GLOBAL PEACE NOW!"

Thought that you might want to add your comments on hemp/cannabis/marijuana issue to her politically timid network. From: David Crockett Williams To: jean hudon 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.

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. Jean Hudon Earth Rainbow Network Coordinator http://www.cybernaute.com/earthconcert2000 And thanks David for passing this on ;-) Although I do NOT see hemp as the overall magical solution to regreening the Earth - sorry for not sharing your enthusiasm on this. From: "David Crockett Williams" Cc: "jean hudon" 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.

A recent article in a health care magazine suggests that people go out in the sun AFTER 4pm. Sound extreme? Check the skin cancer rates for yourself. ---S] 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.

(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.
