Despite serious political
impediments, in 2002 I
ran a valiant political campaign for a seat in the US Congress (a foreign-born
with a noticeable accent, atheist, and independent (NPA).
My stand on issues
can -forever- be read in the campaign "legacy" web at www.Xuna.net . Similarly, on another
website - www.Xuna.com you can read about the
progress of the campaign, and the lack of support from PACs to a
candidate who is independent, and -therefore- with little chance of
winning. |

www.Xuna.com, at the bottom of page titled 'MOTIVATION', it 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 HAD WRITTEN ABOUT GLOBAL WARMING !...
and that was quite a few years before Al Gore did, ... sorry AL!
If you visit
www.PetrolSOS.com you will find
out that I touched the global
warming subject when I wrote the energy-policy book in 1991.
I admit that I
did not extend much into it back, focusing instead on the
non-breathable atmosphere of our planet. |
I worried about an air loaded
with CO2.
That is what we will have if all carbon atoms composing the molecules of
fossil fuels were to be released into the atmosphere.
Our ancient atmosphere was non-breathable for animals, only for
plants and micro-organisms could survive in it.
Please, realize that
for the last 1 billion years (of those 4.5 billion years our planet has) carbon has been
slowly retrieved out of our Earth's primeval atmosphere by plants, then stored
underground (mostly by buried roots).
Eventually oily
detritus shifted slowly to lower layers
in the
Earth's crust, becoming fossil fuel.

But my book was rejected by publishers!
Reason?
I could not find a decent Editor within
my budget, and my English was not perfect.
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 !
