Doomed Globe!

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.

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 !
