Solution to Global Warming and Pollution
The Living World as we know it, is faced with the possibility of extinction at every level. No longer can we reject the consequences of Pollution to our Soil, Air, and Water. Global Warming is real and we better act now before it’s too late. It isn’t enough anymore to say that we will “study the problem” or take a “lets wait and see stance” It is time to take serious action now, on a Global scale and do it collectively. Man is sharing the threat of extinction with all other life on this planet, and he is to blame. We can no longer ignore the signs of violent weather, desertification, receding glaciers, disappearing animal species, a shortage of drinking water, seasonal shifts, severe heat waves, and that is just the tip of the iceberg. (Pardon the pun)
The Root Cause of Global Warming:
For over 60 years, (Since the end of WW2) the world has seen massive growth in industrialization. Millions of Companies have developed a wide range of products and sold them to consumers nationally and internationally. These products range from plastic dog poop to huge recreation vehicles. The speed at which we consume can be seen by the progress and impact of communication. We started with Radio, added television, then the internet, and now a personal hand held devise that combines all of those mediums where you can be reached at any time by anyone or by those who sell products.
The methods of manufacturing, and waste management, were, and still are, unregulated, and subject to the sole concerns of company stockholders or executive management in favour of higher profit at lowest possible cost. The sacrifice made every time is the environment, largely because there is nothing in place that controls the way a company pollutes. Waste is not always seen or in plain view of company directors either.
We cannot talk about Global Warming only, because pollution in general needs to be dealt with. Pollution is found not in just CO2 emissions, but also water pollution affecting the food chain, the methods of manufacturing, packaging of products, resource degradation, waste in all forms, its management, and the lack of serious planning on the recycling of products after use. I am proposing that we impose regulations on all of this.
We will need to change the way we manufacture products, we will have to regulate our farming methods, change our Building Codes to reduce energy consumption, minimize human and Industrial Pollution, clean up our water, and to lower our carbon emissions from fossil fuels. The goal is to conserve and to produce necessity at the lowest possible ecological cost.
David Suzuki just wrote a letter on obsolescence where technology is moving so fast that a new product may only have a one-year shelf life. An electronic product available this year will not be available next year due to so called improvements. The result is that you get stuck with a battery recharger, and an extension cord that no longer has a function because it does not fit the new product, or any other product for that matter. What happened to standardization, and product convenience? The result of this waste leads to a series of wastefulness and pollution. You not only have two useless things that now put a demand on our waste facilities but also our resources for the new product. Let us not forget the packaging materials, and the waste associated with the production and shipping of all the new materials in question or the materials that comprise the products. Who actually pays the cost? What is the real cost of this waste?
Higher Education has been significant in today’s progressive Industrial World but not very many graduates from the science fields or disciplines are employed to look at the effects or environmental impact of new or older products. This has been the missing element within corporate and government structure since day one. The old ways of business and manufacturing must be changed and evolve to reflect the seriousness of Global Warming and Pollution. It is everyone’s responsibility to push our leaders in this direction or Government will simply maintain the status quo, which is nothing.
Regulation:
The idea of changing how we govern our selves and industry must start at the personal level. Governments are elected by the people therefore it is each individuals duty and responsibility to weigh the situation and vote for change in policy. Government is elected by the people to act in its interest. Do not be fooled otherwise. Tell your politician to take action. If we the people are willing to commit to regulation changes then I believe we would be able to go one step beyond Kyoto and attack the root causes for the better health of our children and our Planet. We only get one shot at this because time is wasting. The longer we are undecided, and argue amongst ourselves, the worse global Warming and Pollution becomes. We cannot reverse the damage already done by Global Warming, but we can stop Global Warming in its tracks and reverse damage caused by Pollution. However, we must act now, or we risk greater, irreversible damage. The longer we stand on a wait and see attitude the more unpredictable the future will become. We will continue to loose species at an accelerated rate, loose our potable water, and increase the risk of Global depression or War.
The proposed Policy change will attack Global Warming, Air Pollution, Water Pollution, Employment, International Trade, and the removal of Imperialism for the better health of our Planet.
Proposal Brief:
Kyoto is the start that is needed, but if Canadians are truly serious about attacking Global Warming and Pollution, then it is time to create a body within Canada that “Employs” and puts science in charge of solutions. A research facility should be built in each Province. Each Provincial body would be responsible to govern industry, farming, waste etc. and will be linked to the National body. Information, research, and solutions will be shared through out Canada. The findings of the body will then be put into solutions and then passed into law by our Federal Government. Recycling facilities should be built to handle every product produced or manufactured and sold in Canada.
I would then suggest that we address the United Nations and propose that every member nation take a serious look at this model, and that the United Nations become the central point of shared information and solutions where International Laws would be adopted. An agreement between all Nations could then produce an efficient trade agreement whereby acceptance would create a universal product coding system. Accepted products would then be issued a unique import / export number.
Industrialization, farming, water resources, reforestation, and waste will be managed efficiently, which will ultimately slow Global Warming and Pollution, perhaps even stop it. Research into new technologies could allow us to reach our goal of a liveable planet sooner.
Hydrogen Technology has arrived with a brilliant future for tomorrow but could actually be today if our leaders really wanted it. Imagine a system that turns water into fuel, and where the exhaust is water vapour. Does that sound impossible? Well it actually exists.
The process turns water (H2O) into HHO. I believe the only hurdle at the moment is that the fossil fuel companies and the Auto industry want a way to bottle this energy so that they can go on selling gas to the consumer. It doesn’t have to be that way. The reality of this situation is that without fossil fuel, the world’s economic giants such as the USA cannot support an advantage in Military strength.
Hydro Technology bears a serious look. This is just one of the many brilliant yet simple ideas that our best and brightest could research. Setting up a simple Hydro system that separates H2O into HHO is a very easy task. A DC voltage applied to stainless steel plates in water. This Hydro Cell is enclosed so that the resulting pressurized gas’s can be regulated and passed through a hose and tip where it can be burned. Water is separated into Hydrogen and Oxygen when the DC voltage is applied. The gas’s can then be burned to produce heat. Anything that can produce heat can do work, and from work you can generate Electricity. This technology if embraced, will reduce CO2 emissions drastically. You do not need much water. The process also purifies water, and can also become a way to heat a home, as well as an efficient waste treatment system.
Other examples that would be looked into by the Provincial or National scientific center’s would be manufactured products as well as farming methods or products.
Manufactured Product:
A company that manufactures light bulbs wants to sell its product on the national and or international markets. Under the proposed system, it must have an accepted plan that approves the manufacturing methods, packaging, and recycling of its product to obtain a code to ship its product. The code is an international one that is approved by the Global body for international trade. The international codes of Import / Export will be recognized by all member Nations on board with this program and will be the only code used by all member nations. (A Simplified, unique Free trade Code to replace the thousands of codes in existence today in some 200 plus countries.
Also, under this proposal, the National board will be able to recommend that the light bulb company move to a more efficient product, (In this case, already designed and in use), by a certain time frame. (I.e.: to exhaust current stock levels.) By doing so, the company will be able to retain its international export code and an energy efficient product will replace one that is not. Australia just banned the incandescent light bulb by the year 2012. Their efforts should be applauded for taking a lead.
At any rate, the light bulb company would actually make more money due in part to the reduced inventory required to produce its product and to standardization. There will still be a need for millions of bulbs so the employees will not be affected. The company will just make more of a certain product. The cost to consumers is actually negligible and saves them money in the long run. The money saved will be in their electricity bill to a factor of 10:1 in energy savings. The bulb company will make more money with its product also because instead of 4 bulbs per package there will be 2 bulbs at the same price. Everybody wins. Sir Nicholas Stern, the top economist in my books, must be smiling.
When the demand for less grid electricity happens, there is less CO2 that is released into the atmosphere by the Electrical Generating Systems, that are powered by fossil fuels.
Just one product can make a big difference, imagine what could be achieved if this process was applied to every manufactured product. The National Board will also be able to help business with its solutions. Don’t forget, fossil fuels such as oil, gas, and coal are also products and need to be replaced by something that is ecologically efficient.
The proposed Policy change will attack Global Warming, Air Pollution, Water Pollution, Employment, International Trade, and the removal of Imperialism for the better health of our Planet.

Farming:
A farmer applies fertilizer to his fields, which sends nitrogen into the water table. The National board could make recommendations to the Farmer to plant several more rows of trees around his crop to remove the threat. A timetable is given to the farmer to remedy the situation where on compliance gives him the right to ship his product.
The National Board is also there to help the Farmer with information or assistance if needed. It will also be there to help government adopt regulatory measures from A to Z on how to plan a “green” crop.
I would then address the United Nations and ask for the general assembly and World Leaders to join together in adopting the same type of program. The United Nations would be the Head office and the worldwide link where information and breakthroughs would be shared globally.
These are just two examples but imagine what would happen if we applied this to every product including transportation vehicles, filters, paper products, packaging materials, etc.
I believe that this is the only answer to stop Global warming and limit Pollution. It might seem complex at first, but really, our World is a complex place that needs fixing. If every product underwent the same scrutiny, then the result will be in our planets capacity to support life for thousands of years instead of just a few decades. Lets discuss it. What are your thoughts?
