400 parts per million and rising

All political thinking for years past has been vitiated in the same way. People can foresee the future only when it coincides with their own wishes, and the most grossly obvious facts can be ignored when they are unwelcome.

I don't need to post an image for any of this. I want to scream "You greedy bastards!!" I also want to put out a challenge: Some one please develop a truck that runs on something other than any fossil fuel. Everything will change if we have big machines that can run on something else.  Natural gas included. Fracking is AWFUL! Hello? it pollutes water in a big way, and less heard is that it also increases the earthquakes where fracking occurs. And they want to bring fracking into California. Some one isn't paying a damned bit of attention to the consequences. You want to be a billionaire? Create something better than the internal combustion engine that will haul freight across the country, that will pull a train, that will power a ship, that will fly a plane, that will run a tractor, and for Pete's sake make it affordable!  Get real and start Thinking BIG! How do you convert a coal power plant? You need an artist, let me know I can work cheap when I believe in something. 

What did you do today to lower your carbon footprint? Hot as it was I did not turn on the A/C. I am about to turn off the fans as the delta breeze has kicked in. It is our responsibility, yours and mine, not some government. Ours, for our children and grandchildren.
