55 million years ago there was a massive global warming excursion that started with an increase in atmospheric CO2 much like what we see today. There was a melting of the methane hydrates in the deep ocean that pushed the greenhouse effect even higher.
The moral to the story is that it has happened before and it looks very much like it might be happening again.

Subject: Church and Community
To all those that want to help future generations
In October I attended the Peak Oil Conference in Yellow Springs, Oh titled “Prepare for Hard Times”. It summarized what has been well documented over the last few years about “Global Warming” and brought out some of the most likely effects (not good) of being past “Peak Oil Production” on earth.
The conclusion of the conference was that it's only "in a community" that solutions can be implemented. I tried to have a discussion on "What is a Community" and how does one come into being. The response was "just go to the sessions". Others agreed with me that the sessions did not provide an answer.
I’m interested in “the characteristics and nature of community” as that must be the starting point for any “solutions”. I believe the organized church can (should) be the “starting point”.
Our son has is now working north of Spokane so we are in a position to also move “north”. In the past we have always “moved to the work” and then found a church. A better way may be to “find a church” and then move to that area.
I've been at the forefront of renewable energy and sustainability for over 30 years. There are both technical and economic solutions available today. How to get "the right group" motivated to implement them is the challenge.
I'm working with three groups in the US that will be funded out of Australia in the next few months. These will be using my patented Advanced Anaerobic Digester System (AADS). Each of the initial projects will be around $2,000,000 with the potential to be expanded 5-10 times.
AADS can convert most organic wastes including MSW into a substitute for natural gas. As a result a “community” can become as energy independent as they chose to be.
