Gas emissions have much more to do with human health issues here in the United States than with Global Warming. Reading the reviews and bloggs, I am reminded of my youth and of the Dickey Damn Project. When I mentioned this to my grand-father, he told me, ‘that gasoline was cheap, they pump it out of the ground like water.’ I forget just what electrical company bought Central Maine Power, but such wonderful hallucinations as tidal electricity has to be economical feasible.

President Bush, before 9-11, wished to have the price of oil increased to the point of making nuclear energy and solar energy much more in demand. Again, as a boy, I asked about the steel showing itself just beneath the tar, and it was explained to me that trolley cars once went from here to there. When older, I spent years in Occupied Japan, the trains came by every 15 minutes, but I bought a Cushman scooter.

Before I make my ‘Ancient Bet’ I would like to remind you (the reader) that I am a medical biologist, and that I worked forty plus years as a laboratory monkey. In college we were required to take one or two ’humanities’ and just alike, the humanities major was required to take Botany and Zoology: Bless them. As a ‘Global Warming Denier’ I suggest that we little people on earth here, have no influence upon climate. The humanities major doesn’t fathom how the planet cleans itself (regulated by physics).

In my book ‘An Analog from Adam to Nero’ I conclude Chapter III, with climate change bringing an end to an organized society, the Age of the Patriarchs (c. 2000-1700 B.C.). All of this gives us to ponder, will such events happen again? And this is what occurred.

I offer for consideration that Abraham was given lands in 2465 B.C. (Aram, Canaan, and the Philistine Plain-part of Egypt) as a negotiation plan with Ush by the god-king of Mari. In Egypt, the lands of Palestine and Syria began to be called Retenu. His majesty made war on the desert people, and the entrusted mighty hunter of the campaign, ‘was sent five times to ravage the lands of Retenu’ (2350 B.C.).

After: The Generations of Seth were cast into chaos. A shift in the Gulf Stream spent Europe in ice and for 200 years The World of the Patriarchs were left barren and dry. The Euphrates was not visited by the Thunder god any longer and in Egypt the Nile never flooded. The Nile Delta dried up and vanished, and the temple priest recorded, ‘that the adults ate their children.’ They do not mention that they, themselves, plundered the ancient tombs of the Pharaohs.

After 500 or 600 years in history we note that Hyksos struck Egypt and from 1720 B.C. until 1290 B.C. Lower Egypt was occupied by Greek Veekins and rulers of foreign lands.

I am a techie. The truth is I deal in ones and zeroes…logic statements. To infer all the things that were inferred above and attribute them to “Change” is rather startling to me. The first statement put forward about Mr. Obama is that he was asked 14 questions and his campaign got 14 responses written for him by other people. He then handed it off and went to kiss more babies. If the idea you are putting forward is “YES, but he is willing to reach out to advisors…” OK. But that was for answers to questions during a campaign. There is really no indication from these statements that anything will be done.

Also, embryonic stem cell research has been restrained when using tax money, not in general. Haven’t there been so much other research done with stem cells from other viable means that have actually yeilded higher results for success? In the 1970s the KGB had a propaganda war with us that really struck a blow in all of Europe. The story was how Americans were breeding babies just to harvest organs, biological resources, and expirementation. The picture had a large American nurse holding several children. No matter how many times this was proven to be a fraudulent story, it was never put to rest. This “fact” was decried in all of the Soviet Block and Europe as pure evil. It is funny how much changes in 30 years. Choose a more accessible means for stem cells. Wouldn’t it actually empower a mother to be able to SELL her umbilical cord? They could use the money that is for certain.

Now, to quote a great scholar, Billy Madison: “On with the chlorophyl!”

Hopefully, more efficient and actually green forms of fuel will be pursued by President Obama. There are operational compressed air cars (Spain) as well as water powered vehicles (Japan) that would assist in decreasing dependency on oil, but the American public has no such technology available to them. Why?

Thanks.
