Doomed Globe

 

Doomed Globe! By 

  During the summer of 2007 I will present on this website the book -I wrote in 1991- titled "US ENERGY POLICY : S.O.S. -Scared Ostrich Syndrome" At the time I tried to publish it.  Submitted copies of the manuscript to 20 Publishers around the country, but none of them showed an interest to take the book to the presses.  Some replied though, suggesting that I should hire an Editor to help me with the presentation and wording :(

Being Spanish my vernacular language, my English grammar at the time (and still today) was not Shakespearian by any stretch of the imagination.  But the book's subject matter, was extraordinarily timely, and interesting.  What a pity.

bullet All pages of the original book will soon be scanned and published on this website, for all of you -out there- to read.
bullet Mirroring www.DoomedGlobe.com there will be 3 other sites replicating the same "global-warming warning".
bullet These other domains are www.DontW8.com , www.ElCongresista.US and www.IsIt2L8.com  (read: Is It Too Late?) .

 

What follows below this line -for now- has been copied-pasted from "my profile" on www.AlGore.org  on 3/21/07

 

Despite serious political impediments (foreign-born with a noticeable accent, Atheist, and with "a political mind of my own":), in 2002 I ran a valiant political campaign for a seat in the US Congress. 

My stand on issues can still be read at www.Xuna.net  (also reflected into www.Gr8St8.com  , and into www.Gr8St8.us , “legacy” webs still online).

On another website - www.Xuna.com  - I covered the progress of the 2002 campaign (this site also being mirrored to www.SharpDonkey.com  and at www.ElCongresista.US  ).

On www.Xuna.com, at the bottom of page titled 'MOTIVATION' http://www.xuna.com/main_pages/essay.htm  ) can be read:\

“… became committed enough to the Democratic platform that for the first time in my life I registered with the Party in 1998.

In June of 2000 I filled out a questionnaire on the Internet, and it came back indicating a match of 98% with the views of candidate Al Gore. I voted for him !”

I WROTE ABOUT GLOBAL WARMING !   I think it was a few years before Al Gore did, ... sorry AL!

 If you visit www.OilDepletion.com  or www.DoomedGlobe.com  you will find out that I touched the subject in my article of 1976 (30 years ago), and then wrote a book in more detail 15 years later (in 1991,15 years ago).

I admit that I did not say much about the Earth's warming then, since I focused instead on the non-breathable atmosphere.

I worried about an air loaded with CO2.  That is what we will have if all carbon atoms composing the molecules of fossil fules were to be released into the atmosphere.

Please ,realize that for about 1 billion years (of those 4.5 billion years our planet has) carbon has been slowly retrieved out of our Earth's primitive atmosphere by plants, and has been stored -mostly by their buried roots- in the soil.  Eventually those oils shifted slowly to lower layers in the Earth's crust.

But my book was rejected by publishers (1991: "US ENERGY POLICY: Scared Ostrich Syndrome).

Reason?  I could not find a decent Editor within my budget, and at the time (15 years ago) my English was worse than it is today.

On -page 8- of my book I wrote … “Already in my teenage years I became alarmed when I realized what would happen if all carbon trapped in the huge fossil reserves would – eventually- be released back into the atmosphere. Definitely it would be a primeval milieu, most likely not breathable for humans beings. Actually, we would not have to wait until all fossil energy is burned. At current levels of production and consumption, and with explosive population growth across most of our planet, it will not take too many decades for us to be in big environmental trouble.”

NOW YOU SEE WHY I VOTED FOR AL GORE, AND WILL VOTE FOR HIM ANY TIME HE CHOOSES TO RUN !
