Reversing Global Warming.

by Aaron Vallejo Tuesday, Mar. 09, 2004 at 3:46 AM

China has already started.

Take down the coal towers and see the carbon and nitrogen as assets for huge organic farms.

China has already started in 2003

http://www.npr.org/programs/npc/2002/020424.wmcdonough.html

The proposal for reversing global warming is this link, while we transform into the solar hydrogen economy.

Global warming--leftist hoax

by Walker, Texas Plumber Wednesday, Mar. 10, 2004 at 12:40 AM

Sorry, we're not ruining the world's best free market economies over an unproved theory. In the 70s the threat was 'global cooling.' All the lies about secondhand smoke addled the junk scientists' brains. Hit RESET and try again.

in the 70s?

by more rational Wednesday, Mar. 10, 2004 at 12:56 AM

In the 70s the threats were garbage, pollution, and smog. Thanks to the environmentalists, at least in America, the garbage is under control, pollution is sitll bad, but not *as* bad, and smog seems to be better. All this happened while we doubled the population.

No more "help" from activists needed, thanks

by Walker, Texas Plumber Friday, Mar. 12, 2004 at 12:02 PM

"In the 70s the threats were garbage, pollution, and smog.

>>> Since NONE of those existed at the start of the Industrial Revolution...

Thanks to the environmentalists, at least in America, the garbage is under control, pollution is sitll bad, but not *as* bad, and smog seems to be better. All this happened while we doubled the population."

>>> One third of all federal law is environmental regulations. Far beyond "raising awareness", environmental-cases in the last 30 years have impeded the natural progress of the free market, which left to its own devices, curbs waste and promotes more efficient products, far more so than any gummint agency with a gun.

>>> There are always going to be a few bad eggs who illegally dump and such. Punishing the entire economy with onerous regulations--many of which are based on junk science and distortions--is neither heroic nor insightful.

>>> Now what is the environmental movement in the 00s? A quasi-religion whose lemmings believe any lie an asshole in a labcoat can utter with a straight face. "Global warming." Secondhand smoke." "Gun death statistics." "Power lines cause cancer."

>>> Lies! And if not proven lies, neither are they proven scientifically true.

>>> so here's a weak 'thanks' to the first naive generation of eco-hippies.

scientists

by xavier Friday, Mar. 12, 2004 at 3:57 PM

hey walker, you can make all the unqualified assertions you would like, but these "asshole" scientists must have their work rigorously critiqued and reviewed by other (often adversarial) scientists before it hits the printed page. please, enlighten us, what is it that you know exactly about "scientific proof?"

What Walker would like

by Roggered Goodly Friday, Mar. 12, 2004 at 4:20 PM

Walker would of course enjoy the public take up the expensee of pollution like bottled water or illness or clean up costs while the polluters ran an unregulated greed fest of environmental rapine.
Right?

Would you like to build the solar hydrogen ec

by Aaron Vallejo Tuesday, Mar. 16, 2004 at 4:41 AM

Rifkin, Hawken, Lovins, McDonough, Braungart, etc conclude that the future of our economy is the solar hydrogen economy.

McDonough and Braungart go further and conclude that our future economy is the decentralized, regenerative solar hydrogen economy where life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness free from ingenerational remote tyranny is set into our culture.

The new documentary The Corporation says all of this without saying it. It is really very exciting!

www.thecorporation.com

We need to come together and decide how we are going to build the solar hydrogen economy and leave behind this fossil fuel/nulcear ideas far behind.

solar hydrogen

by Sheepdog Tuesday, Mar. 16, 2004 at 6:13 AM

we can use also passive design and countless other strategies to cope with the loss of the hydrocarbon fuel. It will still be an energy conservative model unless we can find some source that stores anywhere near as much energy as do fossil hydrocarbons. Perhaps genetic engineering to produce fuel manufacturing plants (like hemp seed oil ) or cities designed to not require commuting (wonder who's idea that was, huh?) with sane land use involving wild and tended areas but these are all simple solutions. It's WAY to late for it not to be traumatic, but shit, we need, as a species to get our pompous ass kicked every now and then. Then the survivors learn and adapt incorporating another taboo or cultural habit to prevent reoccurance of the catastrophe. Attitudes and action follow.
But in the mean times. There is much work to be done and it will be thankless so the wimps can stay home until THEIR house becomes involved. Look around and figure out how to replace all of your utilities or the 50 slaves your current fuel use equals.
Sheepdog's suggestions in a fuel less world.
1.No more throw away packaging. All products bought in bulk.
2.Use of old technology like putting a wind propeller on a car alternator to provide electrical power for supplemental energy.
3.Collection of rain water and gray water systems built into solar designed homes or rooms.
4.Population control. Sheepdog method which involves a trial across hostile land to acquire a child license.
5.General sanity.

All of these will allow us as a species to evolve and create and live in a better world away from this awful brink.we can use also passive design and countless other strategies to cope with the loss of the hydrocarbon fuel.

Passive yes, Sheepdog

by Aaron Vallejo Wednesday, Mar. 24, 2004 at 1:41 AM

SheepDog, yes passive solar that is awesome!! William McDonough + Partners are building buildings that are designed to one day, when solar is cost-effective, to produce more energy than they consume. I would love to live in a house that pays for its own taxes! Just imagine if every new house and building was designed like that – good bye central power plants.

Yes, we have to see fossil fuels as old technology and celebrate the sun!

I don’t think bioengineering is the way. Nature has had 4.6 billion years to test what works. Nature knows best. We are learning crazy intelligent and very profitable things from Nature.

"Cities requiring no commuting" – yes, McDonough is also designing factories that require no regulation because they produce fresh drinking water and no toxins!! So yes factories of the future might be right beside our children’s school, or perhaps the factories of the future will be our children’s schools. www.mbdc.com

I agree humanity needs to be fiercely humble in the face of Nature.

The way Cradle to Cradle sees your points:
1) The packaging of the future will either build soil or be food for industry creating jobs not destroying the world (biological and technical metabolisms)
2) “Use of old technology like putting a wind propeller on a car alternator to provide electrical power for supplemental energy”. Sounds pretty cool. But the new cars will be made of technical nutrients and powered by solar derived hydrogen.
3)Collection of rain water and gray water systems built into solar designed homes or rooms. Beautiful, very nice!!
4) “Population control. Sheepdog method which involves a trial across hostile land to acquire a child license”. This is a funny one, yes. You have a good imagination Sheepdog, that is what our culture need. But in the future because civilization mimics a tree, which adds and gives more than it takes, civilization will be a good thing because it will following the laws of Nature: waste equals food, use current solar income, celebrate diversity

In the Cradle to Cradle economy growth is good, whether we are talking about trees, children, industries, or businesses. Welcome to the Triple Top Line of business, where business is transformed into a healing act because it is informed with social and ecological criteria. Pretty exciting!!!!

A New Story: Reversing Global Warming

by Aaron Vallejo Thursday, Apr. 29, 2004 at 4:16 PM

Very exciting times:)

In Minneapolis last week I attended EnviroDesign8 conference. This story tells the Cradle to Cradle design: nature's design.

We can talk about the problems of our present system and it's unacceptable situation. We all may boycott and protest, which are very important. But what I feel is needed is a plan - we need a new story, a new vision, a new place we want to go and arrive at in the future.

If I may, may I spark your imaginations?

We see a world that is infinitely connected, where our cities are forests, cleaning the air and being homes for many species.

Our homes create excess energy through ecological design architecture made of local materials. This anticipatory design science uses the abundant solar energy when it is cost-effective. Therefore perhaps some day paying for part of our home taxes by selling hydrogen back to the grid. This energy is created all the time by the way our homes are designed. Meaning by its very existence it creates energy (assets) for our economy.

When cities are built like these centralized power plants of today will not be needed.
Our food is all organic and safe, grown in huge neighbourhood farms using our biological excrement to create rich, black healthy soil where families of young and old citizens work together among their crops.

Political and economic power is in the individual citizens hands because they have control over energy, food and locate materials.

Clean fresh water, clean air, healthy soil and safe materials replace cancer, garbage, toxins, pollution, pesticides, herbicides and nuclear waste because everything we make and use are designed from the start to be totally safe for soil and biology (biological nutrients) or totally safe and perpetually up-cycled as products for industry (technical nutrients). This is where the molecules are designed to come apart and go back together again forever, therefore eliminating the concept of waste.

When this happens nothing goes to the landfills or incinerators and we stop mining the Earth’s lithosphere because we have an abundance of healthy and clean, perpetually up-cyclable materials for our culture’s use.

The tops of our factories, building and homes are native grasses and native bushes creating habitat for the children of the natural world.

The pollution from the factories is extinct because we have designed out the mercury, the cancer, the bio-accumulative substances, sulphur dioxide, nutrius oxide, carbon dioxide and the chlorine because the filters of the future will be in our heads not on the ends of pipes – intellectual filters.

Instead the factories are in residential areas because they delightfully nourish biology. This is where our factories produce oxygen, clean water, organic food, and healthy soil and they are also favorite places for children to play.

The factories use the abundance of solar and wind and geothermal energies. The solar collectors and the wind turbines are perpetually up-cycled after their 20-30 year life of collecting energy. They then are redeployed after being refurbished in cities. Each farmer could get one turbine so they can stay on their farms and produce another cash crop: hydrogen. This hydrogen is then sold to factories and the auto industry.

The farmers will grow hundreds of different organic crops making livelihoods far more secure instead of insecure monocultures. This is where we ask nature what it wants to grow here, instead of telling it what we want.

Humanity instead of trying to reduce global warming like the Kyoto Agreement is trying to do; humanity begins to be engaged in reversing global warming.
People come and relax in front of these huge 600 foot slow, silent wind turbines because they soothe and relax people like they were at the beach or coast.

This is where sustainability like politics is local and war is unheard of.

This is where global business and local business act together for mutual benefit, meaning global business supplies up-cyclable electronics and nutrious vehicles etc in locally run factories while local and family businesses supplies organic food and local materials.
This is where the 20th century business strategy of only measuring the bottom line or economics is thrown out the window and replaced with the triple top line business strategy where it measures health and fecundity in ecology, social equity and economy. This way when all of these cornerstones are optimized the multiplier effect is unbelievable.

This is where the question of capitalism is also replaced from being “how much can I get for how little I give?” to “how much can I give for all that I get?” therefore this is where capitalism is replaced by eco-effectiveness.

This is where instead of nature being resources for humanity’s use, humanity becomes resources for nature’s use.

We celebrate the fact that we are all different and we respect and celebrate those differences. We grow different cultures and rituals while continuing to question and love everything.

-Scientists studying the rising tides say, no: A large-scale rise in sea levels, triggered by global warming, is lifting some boats and swamping others.

Worldwide, the oceans are currently rising one-tenth of an inch each year. The extra water comes from melting glaciers and ice sheets, and swelling of the oceans as they heat. In the next 50 years, scientists warn, the seas will rise a foot. In 60 years, coastal erosion in the United States could swallow one out of every four homes built within 500 feet of shoreline. -

----I see more than you. So do the geosynchronous weather satellites and they're not worried either.


-Scientists studying the rising tides say, no: A large-scale rise in sea levels, triggered by global warming, is lifting some boats and swamping others.

---are these "scientists" in the employ of government regulators? chicken little 'green' groups?

Worldwide, the oceans are currently rising one-tenth of an inch each year. The extra water comes from melting glaciers and ice sheets, and swelling of the oceans as they heat.

---there is no "extra' water on earth. oceans heat and freeze in a continuous cycle and there's nothing mankind can do about it.

---big deal. first of all, as a suspected rich-hating liberal, why would you care if barbra streisand loses a foot of sand at her beach house? the temperature may rise a total of ONE degree in 50 years and if it does, it won't be man's fault.

----there is only a consensus among certain socialist scientists about global warming, not hard evidence. we're not going to wreck world economies to satisfy some idiot greens who hate capitalism.

A New Story: Reversing Global Warming

by Aaron Vallejo Friday, Apr. 30, 2004 at 1:18 PM

Very exciting times:)


I walked the streets of Seattle and the streets of Quebec with thousands of other citizens. I talked with them, protested with them, laughed with them and threw canisters with them.

We can talk about the problems of our present system and it's unacceptable situation. We all may boycott and protest, which are very important. But what I feel is needed is a plan - we need a new story, a new vision, a new place we want to go and arrive at in the future.

Wind Turbine Factories in Thunder Bay’s Future?

by Aaron Vallejo Thursday, Aug. 05, 2004 at 6:49 PM


Appeared in Thunder Bay’s Chronicle Journal July 10th, 2004

Wind turbine global demand is exploding at 40 per cent a year. Yes, those huge, slow, quiet, elegant energy producers. In the states of Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, energy from wind is now cheaper than natural gas which is why Warren Buffet and his son are building a 310 megawatt wind farm in Iowa.

The city of Thunder Bay, Ontario on the north shore of Lake Superior is an ideal location for wind turbine manufacturing plants because it is in the middle of Canada and North America. Thunder Bay itself is an industrial city with the second largest inland port in the world. Both the port and city are essentially sleeping. It is time to wake both of them up. We can build wind turbine factories here, manufacture these gentle giants designed for disassembly and ship them everywhere.

Wind turbines enjoy the benefits of mass-production where the more we make the cheaper they become. In factories around the world only 3,000 wind turbines are manufactured, in contrast to the automobile industry, which makes 17 million vehicles a year. Imagine when we get to scale!

Would you like to build good long-term jobs and the clean, green economy of prosperity where we profitably fly passed Kyoto. Thunder Bay would you like to build these factories here, you have all the assets?

Design for Disassembly

by Aaron Vallejo Tuesday, Oct. 26, 2004 at 10:41 PM

Published in Lakehead University’s campus newspaper The Argus on October 11, 2004

In the First Industrial Revolution businesspeople and engineers designed products to be cheap and look nice so that the masses could have access to them. However, what happens to these products (cars, computers, toys, clothes, etc) after we are finished with them? Well, they are sent to the landfills or incinerated. Then industry goes out to look for new resources to make more cheap and pretty products.
We all know that waste is strangling our system; just look at Toronto’s situation. Whether we are talking about solid waste, pollution, water or soil contamination or highly toxic nuclear waste; waste is strangling our system.
The official proposals for the waste management are reduce the waste, reuse the materials, recycle the products, refuse to buy them and regulate the toxins. However good-willed this strategy is, it does not address the inherent problem of our system: our system creates waste.
The Next Industrial Revolution is geared to eliminating the concept of waste. Yes, eliminate the very concept of waste by design. Where in nature do we find waste? Nature has no concept of waste; in nature waste equals food for another organism. Why not design our system do the same and cycle nutrients either for the natural world (biological nutrients) or for the world of human industry (technical nutrients)?
Imagine this: Factories in Thunder Bay manufacture wind turbines and ship them everywhere for deployment as clean energy producers. Then the molecules of these wind turbines come back to the factories after their 20 – 30 year lifespan. Yes, I mean design these wind turbines for disassembly so they constantly come back to the city.
What are the advantages? Well, firstly, if these machines were designed to come apart then industry would get new high quality resources for new wind turbines. Therefore we could stop the mining of the Earth for new material. Secondly, all the materials would be totally safe for children of all species because why would we want to circulate materials that were toxic? Thirdly, the workers in these Thunder Bay factories would have endless work because every time these turbines come back to the city their molecules need to be taken apart intelligently and effectively and then rebuilt into new technical nutrient wind turbines.
To date, industry has created technical nutrient carpets (Shaw, Honeywell, BASF), polyester (Victor Innovatex), window shades (MechoShade), and the 2002 treeless book Cradle to Cradle: Remaking the Way We Make Things is itself the first technical nutrient designed for disassembly and infinite up-cycling.

The Nation of China has adopted Cradle to Cradle Design

by Aaron Vallejo Sunday, Oct. 31, 2004 at 11:18 PM

Published in Lakehead University’s Argus Student Newspaper October 25th, 2004

The nation of China has 1,300,000,000 citizens and is the fastest growing economy in the world. This summer steel prices rose significantly mainly because China bought up so much of the global steel production showing the economic power of the Chinese nation.
Now imagine if the Chinese economy industrialized using the same design as the United States and Europe with toxic garbage everywhere. In the epic documentary The Corporation Ray Anderson states “every life support system is in decline…there is not one published, peer reviewed paper published in the last 25 years that would contradict this scenario”.
The designers of Cradle to Cradle Design, William McDonough and Michael Braungart, presented to Chinese officials in 2002 showing that the circular industrial design powered by the sun is actually based very much on the ancient Chinese practice of precise nutrient flows for 4,000 years of permanent agriculture. The Chinese recognized this immediately.
Now through the China US Center for Sustainable Development the Chinese are converting their entire economy to work with nature. They are taking down the coal towers in Shanghai and Beijing to use the carbon in greenhouses (http://www.npr.org/programs/npc/2002/020424.wmcdonough.html (43: 55/ 58: 30)), they are rebuilding 5 cities, they are redesigning the building construction protocols to be green, they are setting up huge manufacturing facilities for wind turbines and solar panels and collectors.
Ford announced this summer that they are building a 3rd automotive plant in China. Since, Ford is very excited about Cradle to Cradle Design this factory will be a model of human industry working with nature.
“The authors, McDonough and Braungart, and China share the goal to make the book ‘Cradle to Cradle: Remaking the Way We Make Things’ as widely accessible and affordable throughout China as possible” www.chinauscenter.org.
The ship of human industry is turning.

The Model U and Ford’s Transformation

by Aaron Vallejo Monday, Nov. 29, 2004 at 11:50 AM

Published in Lakehead University’s Argus Student Newspaper November 15th, 2004

Imagine a vehicle powered by solar derived hydrogen, the tires are biological nutrients made of corn providing vitamin C and E to the natural world. The seats and interior are nutritious fabric and material. After a 5 year lease the vehicle and its molecules were intelligently and effectively taken apart and reassembled into new vehicles infinitely.
This vehicle is Ford’s Model U concept car, the first Cradle to Cradle vehicle. The designers call it the Model T of the 21st century.
Environmentalists will cheer because these vehicles create no carbon emissions therefore no global warming, they require no new metals because of closed loop cycles so mining is not required, they give nutrition to all surrounding life by giving positive emissions. The workers will cheer when these vehicles come back to the factory to be up – cycled creating constant employment. The business people will cheer because the vehicle constantly generates revenue every time a vehicle is leased, there are no regulation fees because there are no toxic emissions, there is no waste management because everything is valuable nutrients for the automotive industry. The entire process is powered by the solar hydrogen economy.
Ford began this transformation in 1999 and their largest factory in Dearborne, Michigan which I visited this past summer, now has the largest habitat roof in the world (12 acres), new wetlands, and a new young forest.
Globally, Ford has 67 square kilometres of roof space which will be replaced with habitat for local birds because the habitat roof in Dearborne saved the company $35 million.
Yes, Ford is still building gas-guzzling SUV’s but the transformation of working with nature on an industrial level has begun. Consider this: over 5000 companies supply Ford with materials. So if Ford changes they change.

Cradle To Cradle To Washington

by Aaron Vallejo Monday, Jan. 31, 2005 at 2:25 AM

Cradle To Cradle To Washington
Andrew T. Gillies, 12.15.04, 6:00 AM ET

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Last month's U.S. election results elicited the predictable laments from the enviro crowd. "The re-election of President George W. Bush means that polluters will enjoy four more years of lax enforcement," moaned the Natural Resources Defense Council.

But the political winds don't seem to ruffle one prominent environmentalist: William McDonough, a 53-year-old architect and man dubbed a "hero for the planet" by Time magazine in 1999. "We don't focus on politics, because they come and go," McDonough said in a phone interview last week, adding, "Republicans are very attracted to what we do."

Indeed, last January, McDonough was back at the White House, where he had previously accepted an environmental award from President Bill Clinton, expounding his ideas on ecologically sustainable design to a meeting of government officials arranged by Bush's Office of Management and Budget. "We've met with many of the departments and agencies many times since," McDonough says.

The subject of those meetings is what McDonough calls "Eco-effectiveness" and "Cradle to Cradle Design." In short, it's an effort to refashion architecture and industry so that they emulate the ecosystems found in the natural world.

An example: A regular old building acts much like a machine, powered by a central furnace and releasing sewage and other waste out through pipes. By contrast, an eco-effective building mimics a tree, drawing power from solar energy and using plant systems to purify effluents into clean water. "Waste equals food," goes a Cradle to Cradle mantra, suggesting a world where everything industry churns out can either be composted, reused or recycled into something else.

Loopy? Maybe, but some very big businesses don't seem to think so. As reported by Forbes (see: "Fabric Softener"), McDonough and his two firms, William McDonough & Partners and MBDC, have worked on projects for clients such as BP (nyse: BP - news - people ), BASF (nyse: BF - news - people ), Ford Motor (nyse: F - news - people ), Nike (nyse: NKE - news - people ), and Visteon). Perhaps most famously, McDonough advised Ford on how to green its gigantic Rouge manufacturing facility in Dearborn, Mich.

And, as the meeting at the White House last January suggests, there's also plenty of appeal for government. Why? While McDonough is not reflexively anti-regulation, a key Cradle to Cradle tenet is that regulation itself is evidence of design failure. In other words, if you can build a factory that emits nothing harmful, there's no need for heavy regulation.

A good chunk of today's environmental law, McDonough argues, doesn't aim for this ideal. Instead, he says, it sets out to make something less bad--reducing pollution and so on--rather than encouraging a fundamental redesign to turn the bad thing into something good.

Again, that notion has a fairly dreamy ring to it, but McDonough is quick to fire off an illustration of how it can work. In September 2002, MBDC partnered with the Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Solid Waste to find ways to reduce the plastics and other undesirable layers of waste found in packaging of shipments from online retailers. They issued a design challenge in March of 2003 and by October of that year had a winner: a collaboration between Microsoft (nasdaq: MSFT - news - people ), the Allan Schluger Company and Shorewood Packaging, a unit of International Paper (nyse: IP - news - people ).

Their product, called the "Bevelope," can be adjusted to accommodate everything from DVD cases to thick software manuals and is made from recycled paperboard that can be recycled again or composted. Shorewood Packaging says big customers now using the Bevelope are Microsoft and Philip Morris, a unit of Altria Group (nyse: MO).

McDonough has also been working with the U.S. Air Force on assessing chemicals used at aircraft and missile factories. "It's an odd place for us to be working," McDonough acknowledges, "but the idea is that the whole world is cradle to cradle, so it involves everything."

Everything? Not a bad business proposition.

End Goal of the Next Industrial Revolution

by Aaron Vallejo Friday, Feb. 18, 2005 at 3:37 AM


William McDonough, international architect, industrial designer, business leader and Hero of the Planet, was given a standing ovation by all departments of the United States government after he presented this end goal and the Cradle to Cradle Design strategy in the White House on January 21st 2004.

“We hope for a delightful, safe and healthy world
with clean water and renewably power,
economically, equitably, ecologically
and elegantly enjoyed”.

The central question of Cradle to Cradle Design is:

“How do we love all of the children of all species for all time?”

In Cradle to Cradle Design we are talking about conceptually sound and hugely profitable strategies that are socially equitable and environmentally intelligent that celebrates healthy closed-loop industrial production while we regenerate the biosphere.

The latest audio (31 minutes) of William McDonough, designer of Cradle to Cradle Design is with Canadian Massive Change radio on March 23rd, 2004 (half way down the page)
http://www.massivechange.com/interviews.html
Along with many other brilliant thinkers like Janine Benyus, Wade Davis, Jeffery Sachs, Jaime Lerner, Gwynne Dyer and many more. Fabulous resources!

Now is the time to profitably and strategically build the renewably powered world together.

Eternal Optimist

by Aaron Vallejo Sunday, Apr. 10, 2005 at 11:41 PM

Architect William McDonough has witnessed China’s rapid modernization and sees hope for sustainable development.

McDonough is working to bring to cradle-to-cradle protocol to China, where old buildings are being demolished as quickly as new ones are constructed.

For the past several years China has been modernizing at a frightening, almost unfathomable pace. It is not an exaggeration to say that there is no precedent for it. As China has plunged headlong into the twenty-first century, American architecture and planning firms have followed, more than willing to assist government officials and newly “privatized” developers in the massive effort. China is still, for the time being, where the action is—and the scramble for work by Western firms resembles an architectural gold rush.

All this raises serious questions: What are the long-term consequences of this feverish activity? Can the Earth survive a gas-guzzling (Americanized) China? Is it already too late to develop ideas that would help China realize a more ecological future? Not surprisingly, architect William McDonough—a man whose solution to the SUV was a sustainable SUV—is cautiously optimistic on China. Like countless other American firms, William McDonough + Partners has an active presence there. Recently Metropolis executive editor Martin C. Pedersen talked to McDonough about his work in China, the future of sustainable development, and the gifts China might bestow on us.

What are you doing in China, and who’s the client?
We’re working with the China Housing Industry Association (CHIA) and a group of developers to create templates for cities based on the cradle-to-cradle protocol. What we do is examine sites—some of which are as big as 20 square kilometers—through a different set of lenses. We look at them, for example, as if we were a migrating bird: What would we want to see there in terms of evolution? We also look at it from the ground: What am I doing here? That’s one lens. Another lens would be hydrology. What if I’m groundwater, or a raindrop? So we work from the sky into the earth. We’re the master planners for seven sites. And the basic point is that if you look at the world through a new set of lenses, suddenly the ecosystem becomes your infrastructure.

Who hires you?
The government asks private developers if they would be interested in working with us. They give out the properties and work with CHIA, which is the consortium of private developers charged with building housing. It used to be central government planning, but it’s been turned over to regional authorities as well as developers because there’s so much to do. The Chinese are going to house 400 million people in the next 12 years. It’s the largest migration of humans in history. Essentially they’re rebuilding the housing stock of two Americas—in 12 years.

Is there any precedent for this pace of modernization?
Of course not, except for, say, rebuilding Chicago after the fire or Tokyo after the war.

You grew up in Hong Kong. When you returned to China in 1994, were you appalled at the environmental situation there?
I’ve never been appalled. When you see how much can happen so quickly, it’s very frightening; but at the same time, it is what it is. Our job is to work with reality, start on the ground, and then imagine what a future might look like. A number of years ago someone asked me, “Mr. McDonough, how long is this sustainability stuff going to take?” I said, “It’s going to take forever. That’s the point.” And it will take forever. Can I turn it around tomorrow? No. Nobody can. What I’m simply looking at is how we can chart a course.

These Chinese projects are huge. Where do you start?
We look at the existing situation. Everything in China is under way at a fierce rate, so it’s not a tabula rasa. Some of these projects have been master planned, and we haven’t reworked them yet. We adjust some existing plans as best we can. Others we do from scratch. What we’re looking at is developing planning templates that people can take and use for their own projects. We want to spread the word as fast as we can because this is a fierce commotion. CHIA did a mass-energy study on what would happen if all 400 million units were built with brick. They’d lose all their soil and burn all their coal. You’d have cities, but you wouldn’t have any food or energy. That’s how big this is. In fact, 174 jurisdictions have made brick illegal.

In addition to planning, your firm is also involved in the countryside.
Yes, we’re looking at how to upgrade rural housing so that we can maintain the historical farm villages. There’s a movement in China to move everyone into cities. We’re looking at how people can stay in the country and still afford to live there, where now there’s abject poverty. We want to design a house for $3,500, which represents ten years of income to a family. We’re working with BASF, the world’s largest chemical company, to develop a way of using toxin-free polystyrene foam. We’d put thin concrete skins on both sides. It’d be like big foam-core board, which we’d run on the outside of the house, like putting a big sleeping bag over it. It’s a one-time use of natural gas to make a building that’s superefficient and doesn’t need natural gas. That’s the strategy to replace brick on the large technological scale.

Can China modernize at this pace without causing long-term consequences for the planet?
This is the same as asking, Can we continue to operate the way we do without creating long-term consequences to the planet? We recognize now that no large-scale system that has deleterious effects can produce anything other than long-term tragedy. For me, we’re all dust, so the question becomes, What can we do—given the information we have—to celebrate the abundance of the planet? China offers unique opportunities as well as grave concerns. It will be the first country to do massive solarization, and that will be a gift to us because they’ll bring the price down. This has to happen because coal is the default resource for future energy use.

And that would be a doomsday scenario.
Yes, as far as I’m concerned, the discussion about coal and hydrogen is all talk. The real question is, When do we become solar? With China and India coming online, and us still trying to grow our fuel-fed economy, coal and solar are the only forms of energy available widely enough to meet soaring demand. Clearly we must create something that is cheaper than coal. Everything else is noise. It’s not a public-policy question, it’s an economic question. Don’t forget that solar energy is a form of nuclear power—nuclear fusion. It’s just that we have our reactor exactly where we need it: 93 million miles away. That’s one of the things I’m working on most vigorously in China. When I explained this to the White House, they said, “Oh no, the Chinese will get all the jobs again.” But for every job produced making a solar collector, there are four local jobs created. The Chinese will never be able to capture an American kilowatt. They can’t capture our photons; they’re inherently local. So there can be huge amounts of job creation implementing this stuff.

What has to happen in China for them to modernize in a way that’s consistent with helping the planet?
If we look at the history of production since the beginning of the industrial revolution—which followed 4,000 years of agriculture, which followed a million-plus years of evolution—we can see that the first instincts, the hard-wiring of the human species, are as hunter-gatherers. We’re opportunistic people. Then we see, with the dawn of agriculture, that we become nurturers, because we’ve become settled in place and need to understand nutrient flow. We have to keep refurbishing the soil every year in order to perpetuate ourselves, and our population grows.

In the first industrial revolution there’s a whole new range of opportunism that arrives with fossil fuels. We make ammonia to get the nitrogen out of the air. We mine phosphates, we develop a mineral-based supplement to agriculture. Suddenly, within three generations—even in China, where agriculture has been going on for 40 centuries—we adopt chemical agriculture. Why? Because we’re an opportunistic species. If we can take it, we’ll grab it.

And this supersedes our other better, impulses?
Clearly, the nurturing instinct is soft-wired. We’re hard-wired hunter-gatherers; we’re programmed nurturers. The next opportunity is to run that out. Einstein said, “No problem can be solved by the same consciousness that created it.” If we look at the consciousness involved in the first industrial revolution, it was “take fossil fuels and burn them,” with the only design principle being that if brute force doesn’t work, you’re not using enough of it. That’s pure opportunism, hunter-gathering.

That’s playing itself out in China. We’re getting a huge quantity of haves against a huge quantity of have-nots. Everybody on the planet understands that’s not a tenable long-term relationship. The next consciousness we need is to merge opportunism with the nurturing instinct of ecological and social systems. What we want is a social market economy that honors both. What’s been missing is ecology, which is the famous triad of sustainable development: economy, equity, ecology. That’s what we’re bringing to our work.

So instead of a planner just coming in and drawing a grid like they typically do—and forget the contours, because bulldozers take care of that, pipes take away the water—what’s sewage treatment but a liability that you try to deal with? We look at sewage treatment as an asset. We’re going to auction [the rights] off to the highest bidder. They’re fertilizer factories that make gas. Who wants it? Who will pay the most for it? It’s a nitrogen phosphate factory that produces the cooking fuel for the city.

So I think the optimistic view would be that we come up with a way to understand opportunism and connect it to nurturing, which creates profit for business but also restores ecological systems. The pessimistic view would be that we continue with the present system—lean production producing dangerous things.

From your experience, where do you think we are now?
We’re at the very beginning of the next run. What’s fun is, I was just in Tokyo for Fortune magazine last week, giving a talk to senior business people. The positioning was really interesting, because what we were talking about essentially was our strategy in adopting the principles of Deming. Do you know Deming?

No.
W. Edwards Deming was an American statistician who went into the factories during World War II to study how woman were doing, while the men when off fighting. They out-produced the men. They had no failures, no lemons, no rejects. When he looked he found that they sat in circles, they talked to each other. They didn’t accept the idea of inspection because they didn’t want to make anything flawed, they didn’t have hierarchies, they didn’t have quotas…

They had a different culture…
They said, “We’re going to make a perfect thing, and that’s as many as we can make.” The men came back and threw Deming out, saying, “We just won the war, we have quotas, get out of here.” So he went to Japan. The highest industrial prize in Japan is the Deming prize.

I’m really interested in total quality. Now Toyota’s production system, for example, is lean manufacturing. They’re lean, very smart. They talk to each other all the time. But it’s lean production of technologies that we’re discovering to be dangerous. They’re degenerative from a planetary perspective. So we have lean technologies—lean tech making dirty tech. What we’re looking at for the future is clean-tech.

Which would be lean tech, by its very nature.
That would be clean production: Lean vs. clean. Instead of dirty tech, clean tech. The question is no longer, “How efficiently can I make this and sell it in the marketplace?” The question is, “Am I making something the right way?” Efficiency has no value, per se.

What if you’re a Nazi, right? An efficient Nazi is worse than an inefficient Nazi. So the questions is not, “Am I doing it the right way?” The first question is, “Am I doing the right thing? Then I’ll go about doing it the right way.”

If we keep doing lean production of dirty technology…well, that’s why cars are so scary. What if we did clean production of clean technology? That’s where we’re focusing in China. What are the massive, large-scale, clean technologies that the rest of the world needs that would serve in China as well? What would benefit everyone? Because if they could come up with the technologies that allow us to capture our photons, purify our water, these are inherently sustainable strategies. Sustainability, just like politics, is local. It can be only be measured locally.

If China could use its ability to mass-produce things at very low cost, then allow local communities to access their abundance of resources in healthy, delightful ways, that’s a gift that China can give the rest of us, and we’ll be very happy to outsource the production.

Designing the Future

by Aaron Vallejo Wednesday, May. 25, 2005 at 12:37 PM

In a new interview series, NEWSWEEK talks to a leading ecological architect whose goal is nothing less than eliminating waste and pollution.

McDonough: 'Our job is to dream'

May 16 issue - Imagine buildings that generate more energy than they consume and factories whose waste water is clean enough to drink. William McDonough has accomplished these tasks and more. Architect, industrial designer and founder of McDonough Braungart Design Chemistry in Charlottesville, Va., he's not your traditional environmentalist. Others may expend their energy fighting for stricter environmental regulations and repeating the mantra "reduce, reuse, recycle." McDonough's vision for the future includes factories so safe they need no regulation, and novel, safe materials that can be totally reprocessed into new goods, so there's no reason to scale back consumption (or lose jobs). In short, he wants to overhaul the Industrial Revolution—which would sound crazy if he weren't working with Fortune 500 companies and the government of China to make it happen. The recipient of two U.S. presidential honors and the National Design Award, McDonough is the former dean of architecture at the University of Virginia and co-chair of the China-U.S. Center for Sustainable Development. He spoke in New York recently with NEWSWEEK's Anne Underwood.

UNDERWOOD: Why do we need a new industrial revolution?
MCDONOUGH: The Industrial Revolution as a whole was not designed. It took shape gradually as industrialists and engineers figured out how to make things. The result is that we put billions of pounds of toxic materials in the air, water and soil every year and generate gigantic amounts of waste. If our goal is to destroy the world—to produce global warming and toxicity and endocrine disruption—we're doing great. But if the goal isn't global warming, what is? I want to crank the wheel of industry in a different direction to produce a world of abundance and good design—a delightful, safe world that our children can play in.

You say that recycling, as it's currently practiced, is "downcycling."
What we call recycling is typically the product losing its quality. Paper gets mixed with other papers, re-chlorinated and contaminated with toxic inks. The fiber length gets shorter, allowing more particles to abrade into the air, where they get into your lungs and nasal passages, and cause irritation. And you end up with gray, fuzzy stuff that doesn't really work for you. That's downcycling.
[My mentor and colleague] Michael Braungart and I coined the term upcycling, meaning that the product could actually get better as it comes through the system. For example, some plastic bottles contain the resi-dues of heavy-metal catalysts. We can remove those residues as the bottles come back to be upcycled.

Not all products lend themselves to that.
Most manufacturers take resources out of the ground and convert them to products that are designed to be thrown away or incinerated within months. We call these "cradle to grave" product flows. Our answer to that is "cradle to cradle" design. Everything is reused—either returned to the soil as nontoxic "biological nutrients" that will biodegrade safely, or returned to industry as "technical nutrients" that can be infinitely recycled. Aluminum is a technical nutrient. It takes tremendous energy to make, but it's easy to recapture and reuse. Since 1880, the human species has made 660 million tons of it. We still know where 440 million tons are today.
Are there products already that meet cradle-to-cradle goals? If so, how do we find them?
Within the month, we will be branding cradle to cradle. Products that meet our criteria for biological and technical nutrients can be certified to use our logo. A note on the packaging will tell you how to recycle it. You'll know: this one goes into my tomato plot when I'm finished or this one goes back to industry forever. We have already approved a nylon, some polyester textiles, running tracks, window shades, chairs from Herman Miller and Steelcase, and carpets from Shaw, which is part of Berkshire Hathaway. The first was a Steelcase fabric that can go back to the soil. We're now working on electronics on a global scale.

How do paper products like magazines fit into this picture?
Why take something as exquisite as a tree and knock it down? Trees make oxygen, sequester carbon, distill water, build soils, convert solar energy to fuel, change colors with the seasons, create microclimates and provide habitat.
My book "Cradle to Cradle," which I wrote with Michael Braungart, is printed on pages made of plastic resins and inorganic fillers that are infinitely recyclable. They're too heavy, but we're working with companies now to develop lightweight plastic papers. We have safe, lightweight inks designed to float off the paper in a bath of 180 degrees—hotter than you would encounter under normal circumstances. We can recapture the inks and reuse them without adding chlorine and dioxins to the environment. And the pages are clean, smooth and white.

So we can keep our trees and have newspapers, too.
Most environmentalists feel guilty about how society behaves, so they say we should make longer-lasting products—for example, a car that lasts 25 years. That car will still use compound epoxies and toxic adhesives, but the ecological footprint is reduced because you've amortized it over a longer time. But what's the result? You lose jobs because people aren't buying as much, and you're using the wrong technology longer. I want five-year cars. Then you can always be getting the newest car—more solar-powered, cleaner, with the newest air bags and safety features. The old car gets upcycled into new cars, so there are still plenty of jobs. And you don't feel guilty about throwing the old one away. People want new technology. You're not typing on an Underwood, if you know what I mean.

What are you doing in China?
The China Housing Industry Association has the responsibility for building housing for 400 million people in the next 12 years. We're working with them to design seven new cities. We're identifying building materials of the future, such as a new polystyrene from BASF [with no noxious chemicals]. It can be used to build walls that are strong, lightweight and superinsulating. The building can be heated and cooled for next to nothing. And it's silent. If there are 13 people in the apartment upstairs, you won't hear them.
We've designed a luxurious new toilet. The bowl is like a lotus leaf—so smooth, axle grease slips right off. Nothing sticks to it, including bacteria. A light mist when you're done will be enough to flush it, so you won't use lots of water. We'll have bamboo wetlands nearby to purify the waste—and the bamboo, which grows a foot a day, can be harvested and used for wood.
The Chinese are afraid urbanization will reduce productive farmland, so we'll move farms onto rooftops. At least, that's what I'm proposing. The farmers can live downstairs. And when you look at the city from a distance, it will look like part of the landscape.

Is it practical to put farms on roofs?
Traditional roofs aren't practical. They degrade from thermal shock and ultraviolet radiation and have to be replaced in 20 years. For the Gap's corporate campus in San Bruno, Calif., we planted a "green roof" of ancient grasses. The roof now damps the sounds of jets from the San Francisco airport. It absorbs storm water, which is important because they have serious issues with storm water there. It makes oxygen, provides habitat, and it's beautiful. We also made a green roof for Ford Motor Co.'s River Rouge plant. It saved Ford millions of dollars in storm-water equipment.

How will you fuel the Chinese cities?
I want to see solar power cheaper than coal, but to get the speed and scale to do that fast, you need a place like China. We're not talking about dinky solar collectors on roofs. Think of square miles of marginal land covered with them. This could drop the cost of solar energy an order of magnitude. And for every job making solar panels, there are four jobs putting them in place and maintaining them. We could import these panels, and for every job the Chinese give themselves, we get four. What a gift. And I guarantee you, China will never be able to capture an American photon. We would have indigenous energy and energy security. And we wouldn't be throwing our money into holes in the ground.

And we wouldn't need nuclear energy.
I love nuclear energy. I just want to make sure it stays where God put it—93 million miles away, in the sun.

Your ideas are really catching on.
It's an amazing moment in history. We also have two huge new projects in England—working with the cities of Greenwich and Wembley. The developer, Adrian Wyatt, has asked us to conceive the meta-framework for the project.
We won't get everything right the first time. Change requires experimentation. But no problem can be solved by the same consciousness that created it.

Our job is to dream—and to make those dreams happen.

Designing Cities of Our Future

by SDCC Monday, Jun. 06, 2005 at 10:37 PM

Sustaining cities of our future can be seen as organisms that are alive. Cites are the sources of products from industry (technical nutrients). They flow to the countryside and then back to the city to be refurbished providing constant employment. These products are the tractors, vehicles, windmills, solar panels etc. While the countryside is where the products of nature (biological nutrients) flow from the natural world to feed the cities and then return to the countryside to rebuild or recarbonize the soils. These two giant flows of healthy material circulate providing perpetual food for industry and nature while all the children grow up healthy surrounded by rich culture and a healthy and diverse natural world.

This is a 2:24 minute video of Mr. McDonough describing cities of our future. There are now 17 new template Cradle to Cradle cities in China. Mr. McDonough is also helping Chicago to be the greenest city in the United States.

Building a World of Abundance

by SDCC Friday, Jul. 01, 2005 at 9:50 PM

In January 2005, William McDonough spoke to the Instituto de Empressa Spanish business school at which he is chair of the Centre for Eco Intelligent Management. He spoke of measuring legacies rather than activities for future generations and of the massive undertakings he and his associates are involved with around the world.

McDonough’s team is working with over a trillion dollars in global commerce and with the nation of China. The Chinese have adopted Cradle to Cradle Design as national industrial policy and will be building new housing, based on this circular design, for 400 million people over the next 12 years!

In November 2004 the President of China stated in front of world leaders:

“We should put in place a conservation orientation management system throughout the process of exploitation, processing, distribution and consumption of resources with the view of building a resource effective national economy and resource effective society. A well protected ecosystem underpins the growing productive forces and betters the lives of the people. We should optimize the economic structure and advocate an environment friendly way of production, life and consumption and bring about a virtuous cycle in both our ecological and socio-economic systems.”

Click here and listen to the 33:54minute presentation: http://www.ceim.ie.edu/

The strategy of tragedy has now been replaced with a strategy of change. The human culture now has an end goal:

“We hope for a delightfully diverse, safe, healthy and just world with clean air, clean water, clean soil and clean power, economically, equitably, ecologically and elegantly enjoyed”.

global warming is a scam

by global warming is a scam Sunday, Dec. 25, 2005 at 6:27 PM

One thing George W. Bush got exactly right was Kyoto. The treaty isn't working, and a lot of folks who bought into it are now looking for an exit strategy | By Dan SeligmanTHE YEAR JUST ended was a fateful time for the Kyoto Protocol. It was the year in which the treaty, negotiated in 1997 as a way to slow global warming, formally took effect. That was in February. It was also the year in which Kyoto became operational, i.e., a whole bunch of rules were adopted at a conference in Montreal. That was in November. Finally, 2005 was the year in which it became painfully obvious that the treaty was a fiasco.

Possibly you missed this news, which somehow failed to garner 32-point headlines and in some cases was simply suppressed. One spectacular case of suppression involved the performance of Britain's Tony Blair at an event billed as the Clinton Global Initiative. Held in a New York Sheraton in September and organized by the ex-President, who was himself onstage much of the time, it drew not only Blair but also UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan, the king of Jordan, Condoleezza Rice and swarms of big-league reporters, including representatives of the New York Times and Washington Post. Neither paper reported the Kyoto put-down by Blair, who had previously been identified as an outfront supporter of the treaty. What he said on the stage of the Sheraton was that his thinking has changed in the past three or four years. He added: "No country is going to cut its growth." Since no country knows how to reduce emissions without cutting growth, those words have to be taken as a confession of failure.

Also heavily hinting at failure was the final surrender to developing countries that had been adamant about refusing to sign on to Kyoto. When the Clinton Administration agreed to the protocol, it was widely understood that it could never be ratified by the U.S. Senate so long as the deal exempted countries that were both major polluters and trade competitors. Even the New York Times editorialized at the time that without the participation of China and India "any scheme to limit greenhouse gases will be a farce." That was six months before the treaty was signed. After it was signed, without China and India, the Times said that the President must "spend the next year enlisting the participation of developing countries," before the deadline for ratification expired. How Clinton was supposed to sweet-talk those countries into signing a contract that was clearly against their economic interests the paper never explained. In the event, China and India stood pat and gave no indication that they planned to sign up in the future. That still appears to be their position, and early last year their decision was accepted by the signatories.

The final capitulation surfaced in a UN agenda document put forward by Kofi Annan in March. It indicates that the present treaty will not cover the developing countries but proposes wishfully that they will elect to come aboard the follow-on treaty, after Kyoto expires in 2012. ("We strongly endorse Mr. Annan's agenda," said the Times farcically.)

For the time being, then, Kyoto is essentially a western European proposition. With the Bush Administration and Australia opting out and the developing world no longer being asked to join, the European Union stands as the default supplier of signatories who are in a position to make significant reductions in carbon emissions. This seems anomalous, as China and India together send more tons of carbon into the atmosphere than all of western Europe combined, and the U.S. accounts for more than China and India together.

And yet it appears that even western Europe is not reducing emissions. The Kyoto rules say that western Europe must get their emissions to a level 8% below those prevailing in 1990. But virtually all those countries--the only significant exception is Germany--are going in the wrong direction. The latest available data, covering emissions through 2003, tell us that in the years since the treaty was negotiated, carbon dioxide levels increased by 7% in France, 11% in Italy and 29% in Spain. The increase for western Europe as a whole was 5.4%.

After many years of European chatter about the monstrous evil perpetrated by George W. Bush in rejecting Kyoto, it is of possible interest that the increase in carbon emissions in the U.S. during those years was slightly lower (4.7%).

Building Our Circular Economy through Cradle to Cradle Certification

by SDCC Monday, Sep. 17, 2012 at 3:43 PM

"A new Certification Standards Board has been created by the Cradle to Cradle Products Innovation Institute
to oversee the ongoing development of the Cradle to Cradle product certification protocol. The board’s responsibility for Cradle to Cradle product certification represents an important step toward transparency for the certification process and independent third-party verification of the protocol, developed over the past 20 years by William McDonough and Dr. Michael Braungart in collaboration with some of the world’s top brands."

http://c2ccertified.org/index.php/news/article/cradle_to_cradle_certified_moves_to_independence_transpa

"The Cradle to Cradle Products Innovation Institute is a non-profit organization created to bring about a large scale
transformation in the way we make things. Imagine a world where...cars clean our air and brake dust feeds our soil… textile and food mills detoxify our rivers… where we celebrate new technology because it empties the landfills and creates safe jobs…each new child is greeted not as a “population problem” who will take our dwindling resources, but as the miracle that they are."

http://c2ccertified.org/index.php

"The circular economy is a generic term for an industrial economy that is, by design or intention,
restorative and in which materials flows are of two types, biological nutrients, designed to reenter
the biosphere safely, and technical nutrients, which are designed to circulate at high quality without
entering the biosphere."

http://www.ellenmacarthurfoundation.org/

"The Ellen MacArthur Foundation was formed in 2010 to inspire a generation to rethink, redesign and build a positive future. The Foundation believes that the circular economy provides a coherent framework for systems level redesign and as such offers us an opportunity to harness innovation and creativity to enable a positive,
restorative (regenerative) economy."

"An annual net material cost savings opportunity of up
to USD 380 billion in a transition scenario and of up to
USD 630 billion in an advanced scenario, looking only
at a subset of EU manufacturing sectors."

http://www.thecirculareconomy.org/

"The concept of circular economy gained prominence recently, thanks to the Ellen MacArthur Foundation and
others that have helped to construct the intellectual and economic arguments in favour of this forward-thinking economic model."

NASA data

by global cooling Tuesday, Sep. 18, 2012 at 1:59 PM

NASA satellite data from the years 2000 through 2011 show the Earth's atmosphere is allowing far more heat to be released into space than alarmist computer models have predicted, reports a new study in the peer-reviewed science journal Remote Sensing. The study indicates far less future global warming will occur than United Nations computer models have predicted, and supports prior studies indicating increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide trap far less heat than alarmists have claimed.

Study co-author Dr. Roy Spencer, a principal research scientist at the University of Alabama in Huntsville and U.S. Science Team Leader for the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer flying on NASA's Aqua satellite, reports that real-world data from NASA's Terra satellite contradict multiple assumptions fed into alarmist computer models.

No, the bleat goes on about 'global warming'.

John Coleman, founder of the Weather Channel, in an hour-long television documentary titled "Global Warming: The Other Side," presents evidence that our National Climatic Data Center has been manipulating weather data just as the now disgraced and under investigation British University of East Anglia Climate Research Unit. The NCDC is a division of the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Its manipulated climate data is used by the Goddard Institute of Space Studies, which is a division of the National Aeronautical and Space Administration.

Global warming climate change fraud
Tuesday, 03 July 2012 10:26 Tony Elliott 15 Comments
E-mail Print PDF

USA 3 July 2012. Aside from the fact that no one is qualified at any of the United Nations climate organizations to present anything in the genre of climate, weather or atmospheric physics. The daily dose of disinformation is getting easier to dispute every time it comes out.

The term global warming had to be changed to climate change since no actual physical evidence exists proving it. The term climate change was re-titled global climate disruption when no actual proof of the world's climate in flux could be found. GCD will also invariably have to be changed as well, because no massive disruption in climate will be found either.

Every claim ever made by these "enviroclowns" masquerading as climate scientists can be proven false when actual recorded temperatures, weather data, and climate records are examined.

All the hype about rising CO2 levels is a joke when one takes into consideration that the total amount of carbon dioxide in all the earth's atmosphere is less than 1% of 1% of the entire volume of gasses in it. At this percentage level their isn't enough CO2 in the atmosphere to create a greenhouse effect.

There is absolutely no scientific evidence in existence proving that CO2 levels in the atmosphere have in the past or presently contributed to an overall warming of the planet. Ice cores supposedly show six Global Warming periods, which have occurred over the past half a million years. Yet, these same ice cores show temperatures rose some 800 years before any rise in CO2 levels took place.

Professor Antonino Zichichi, one of the world’s top six particle physicists (he discovered a form of anti-matter 40 years before the multi-billion-dollar Large Hadron Collider did), is the most famous Italian scientist since his hero Galileo. He founded the Federation half a century ago and, at the age of 83, is its president to this day.
CLIMATE CHANGE CHRISTOPHER MONCKTON
Nino looks like a proper scientist. Imagine giving his friend Albert Einstein an electric shock, and that is what his hair looks like. He is fitter than me and attributes his good health to walking an hour every day, not drinking alcohol and not eating lunch (that’s for wimps). He lives in a medieval stone house in the unspoiled, monastic village of Erice, Sicily, perched high on a 2,500-foot crag overlooking the blue Mediterranean.
He is an angry man. Angry because he, like me, was brought up in the Classical tradition, which insists that the duty of every “seeker after truth” (Al-Haytham’s beautiful phrase for the scientist) is to be logical and rational. He founded the Federation at the height of the Cold War to remind scientists of their moral responsibility to use their craft for good, not for ill, and of their intellectual obligation to adhere rigorously to the scientific method.
Nino is furious at the politicization of climate science. Science these days is a monopsony. There is only one paying customer: the State. Scientists increasingly produce the results their political paymasters want rather than seeking after truth.

"HAARP and carbon tax are hand waving/red herrings.."

by HAARP v. 'global warming' Wednesday, Sep. 19, 2012 at 4:05 PM

yes, Hex, we know you are a denialist on HAARP & Operation Cloverleaf [ chemtrails ]
because you say so they aren't relevant. that's because now you're mr. whizzard! ahhh such a self inflated self image...and because your [ imaginary ] gas station pi-rat radio has no one listening to it judging from all the fanmail and press reports we have seen, you sure think anyone even cares about your pronouncements or replies to you except your other personality, Yada, the psychopath? Ha.
I'm just waiting for the inevitable mental breakdown from you that we have come to know so well so often [ seeing edges of it with the retreat into moronic visual aids ] to display itself for everyone else to witness..

Stolen emails may prove that global warming is a fraud intended to be used to tax our breathing
Global warming fraud has been exposed to the world by hackers who stole years worth of emails from global warming scientists, and posted them on a Russian server for the world to see. This amazing development has been dubbed Climategate. This apparently resolves the question of whether or not global warming is real. It isn't. The scientists in opposition to this idea were right.

This should be a relief to anyone who was worried about the so-called 'Carbon Tax' that was to be created to tax the breathing rights of every human being except those living in China and India. However, the Copenhagen Climate Conference is expected to still be held, so we're holding our breath (pun intended) waiting to see what world leaders will do now that the global warming fraud has been exposed.

Oklahoma Governor Declares Drought Emergency

by crazy_inventor Wednesday, Sep. 19, 2012 at 4:30 PM

Jul 30, 2012

Gov. Mary Fallin has declared a state of emergency in all 77 Oklahoma counties due to extreme or exceptional drought conditions.


sourcewatch: Senator Inhofe

http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=James_M._Inhofe


http://www.desmogblog.com/james-inhofe



James M. Inhofe has voted in favor of big oil companies on 100% of important oil-related bills from 2005-2007, according to Oil Change International.

These bills include Iraq war funding, climate change studies, clean energy, and emissions.[1] See below for oil money in politics.

He is also known for being an ardent supporter of Israel.


$311,800 in oil contributions during the 110th congress.

$160,800 of those dollars were from industry PACS.

In total, Inhofe received $662,506 from oil companies between 2000 and 2008, which makes him a top recipient of oil money.

In addition to oil, Inhofe has received $152,800 in coal contributions during the 110th Congress.

$94,500 of those dollars were from industry PACS.

If man can modify the weather, he will obviously modify it for military purposes. It is no coincidence that the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force and Signal Corps have been deeply involved in weather modification research and development. Weather is a weapon, and the general who has control over the weather is in control of an opponent less well armed… The idea of clobbering an enemy with a blizzard, or starving him with an artificial drought still sounds like science fiction. But so did talk of atom bombs before 1945.

"meaningless" - Chernobyl Radiation Killed over One Million People

by crazy_inventor Thursday, Sep. 20, 2012 at 9:58 AM

Published by the New York Academy of Sciences.

Chernobyl cover-up: study shows more than a million deaths from radiation

Written by Russian and Belarus experts, edited and published by the New York Academy of Sciences, the book, “Chernobyl : Consequences of the Catastrophe for People and the Environment” is by far the most well researched book on the issue. Drawing from over 5,000 published articles and studies, the authors arrive at startling conclusions. Among them:

So far, one million people from around the world have already died from Chernobyl radiation, including over 110,000 of the original 830,000 clean up workers. High doses of radioactive fallout reached much of Europe and the UK. 750 million people in the Northern Hemisphere received significant contamination. The release was 200 times more radiation than previously thought, hundreds of times more than the bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Fukushima is far worse and ONGOING, I'm tracking the contamination and measuring the radiation, plus WARNING PEOPLE ABOUT IT in weekly reports.

excellent question:
***
Fukushima:
Another explanation for this strange heating — and one that, upon analysis, seems much more likely — is that it was an indication that concentrated energy was used to induce the earthquake, and not the other way around. Numerous credible reports and scientific observations reveal that HAARP technology is fully capable of being used as a scalar weapon, meaning it can emit strong electromagnetic pulse bombs that can alter weather or trigger seismic fault lines.

It is the best of times, it is the worst of times — for science. Over the past several years, the world has been spectator to an alarming meltdown as one serious scandal after another has publicly exposed many of the world’s most prestigious scientific organizations, institutions, and publications as being captives of rigid ideologues who employ rigged computer models, fraudulent “evidence,” censorship, and intimidation to advance a radical “green” political agenda and to squelch genuine scientific inquiry and debate.

Some of the preeminent scientists involved in promoting global-warming alarmism have been disgraced and discredited, after being caught in flagrante in unethical and illegal activities. Even before the 2009 “Climategate” e-mail scandal, many leading scientists who had earlier been true believers in man-made global warming (anthropogenic global warming, or AGW) had begun jumping ship and joining the AGW skeptic side. Since then, the defections have turned into a veritable flood, making this one of the great untold stories of the major establishment media, which continue to trumpet the alarmist propaganda.

The scientists involved in the so-called “Climategate” scandal have been exonerated of any wrongdoing.

old recycled FUD campaign, anyone ?

global_contamination.jpg, image/jpeg, 600x242

that the same people who are doing this ^ to our air, water and land, are the same one's funding the FUD campaigns to smear scientists and people working to prevent and inform about this pollution ?


part of that campaign is using distractions to keep us from focusing on what's actually happening here & now, providing plenty of 'flake fodder' for public consumption.

coast to coast, for example is owned by clear channel

they have the flake shit that they put on the air because IT BENEFITS THEM

it's certaintly no threat to them - they make most of their money selling ad spots for FOSSIL FUEL RELATED PRODUCTS - cars, car parts, car shows, utilities, pesticides, pharmaceuticals, junk food, fast food, alcohol.

big oil, big coal, big nuclear, big agra, big cancer

no programming they carry on any of their properties is a threat to any of that..

- if you heard it on big media, it's guaranteed to be distractionary bullshit

and some deluded fools are helping them

won't you please help them, bill ?

by HAARP v. 'global warming' Thursday, Sep. 20, 2012 at 5:28 PM

Didn't the Ippc exonerate themselves
"The scientists involved in the so-called “Climategate” scandal have been exonerated"
***
The university's vice chancellor, Edward Acton, said the report had exonerated his staff and he hoped it would end the "conspiracy theories and untruths" that have dogged the unit, reports Reuters.

Of course this conclusion is hardly surprising given that, as we have previously reported, the so called "independent" investigation was led by Sir Muir Russell - a vehement supporter of the notion of anthropogenic global warming.

While absurdly billing himself as impartial and unconnected to climate science, Russell is intimately involved with The Royal Society of Edinburgh.

The RSE has thrown its weight behind the global warming movement, lending its absolute support for legislation aimed at reducing carbon emissions by 80%, a process that will devastate the global economy and living standards.

This organization has been even more vehement than national governments in its advocacy of the man-made cause of global warming, calling for such drastic CO2 cuts to be made in the short term, not even by the usual target date of 2050.

For the climategate inquiry, Russell constructed a panel of "experts" that share exactly the same views, clearly contradicting the founding principle of the inquiry - to appoint experts who do not have a “predetermined view on climate change and climate science”.

Weather modification and warfare are a reality. Climate Change theorists that stand to gain off of Climate Change regulation are also connected with the CIA, military, and the White House. Since we know the technology is out there and being used, why don't we use it to reverse Global Warming?

I believe the reason we are not doing this is because exactly the opposite is being done. Yes, I believe that not only is the technology being used as a weapon but also to stoke the flames of fear over Climate Change in order to gain control and money. This may seem outrageous but it is entirely possible and admitted by at least China, Russia and the U.S.

Weather Modification

Press Core Updated April 21, 2011 – The HAARP (High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program) website has been down for the past 3 weeks. It was ordered taken down by the US government to conceal US weather modification. HAARP’s waterfall charts and magnetometer charts gave evidence of an ongoing weather war between the United States government and foreign states. Evidence from HAARP’s own website revealed that the US government was acting in violation of the ENMOD treaty – use of weather modification techniques (HAARP) for the HAARP-weather-modificationpurposes of inducing damage or destruction. HAARP broadcasting data published on the HAARP website coincided with a number of recent HAARP-20.-apr.major catastrophes such as the 2010 Haiti earthquake, the 2010 Heat wave in Russia, the major floorings in 2010 in China and Pakistan and the major earthquakes in Haiti and Japan – all occurred since US president and commander-in-chief of the United States military Barack Hussein Obama took office.

"WEATHER WARFARE"

World renowned scientist Dr. Rosalie Bertell confirms that "US military scientists ... are working on weather systems as a potential weapon. The methods include the enhancing of storms and the diverting of vapor rivers in the Earth's atmosphere to produce targeted droughts or floods." (2) Already in the 1970s, former National Security advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski had foreseen in his book "Between Two Ages" that:

"Technology will make available, to the leaders of major nations, techniques for conducting secret warfare, of which only a bare minimum of the security forces need be appraised... [T]echniques of weather modification could be employed to produce prolonged periods of drought or storm."

a crypto-republican with multiple personalities/sockpuppets, and a persecution complex, who had the same trouble in florida, pretending to be an ally of IMC while spamming flake shit and his own website, that distracts from real issues, who makes his money selling home made fake antiques, home made fake artifacts and home made jewellery, that he produces by tumbling rocks, in his home made rock tumbler.

- and tries to make some extra money on the side as a self-proclaimed 'expert' by hyping up flake shit like chemtrails and haarp with absolutely no supporting data, who makes use of the flake shit echo chamber that he himself is a major part of - and trying to profit off of.

and this is when he's NOT parroting republican hate talk radio talking points from their echo chamber of global warming denialism and so on..


see, if global warming is real, then his book is worthless, and he's no expert


- the reason he's blind to the concept of big oil profiting off of FUD and lies, is because HE'S trying to profit off of FUD and lies

HAARP Magnetometer data shows Japan earthquake was induced.
by PC, www.presscore.ca
The United States Air Force and Navy has provided a visual insight into what caused the 9.0 magnitude off of Japan on March 11, 2011 at 05:46:23 UTC. The image above was downloaded from the High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) website. It is a time-frequency spectrogram, which shows the frequency content of signals recorded by the HAARP Induction Magnetometer. This instrument, provided by the University of Tokyo, measures temporal variations in the geomagnetic field (Earth’s magnetosphere) in the ULF (ultra-low frequency) range of 0-5 Hz. Notions have been added to the image to show you what was happening the day the Japan earthquake and tsunami struck.

By looking at the accompanying HAARP spectrum chart above you can see when the 9.0 magnitude earthquake struck – red line drawn vertically – and what was happening before and after the earthquake. What you can also see is a constant ULF frequency of 2.5 Hz being recorded by the magnetometer. The ULF 2.5 Hz frequency is evidence of an induced earthquake. The chart recorded this constant before, during and after the 9.0 magnitude earthquake struck. On March 11, 2011 the 2.5 Hz ULF frequency was being emitted and recorded from 0:00 hours to about 10:00 hours – or for 10 hours. We know for a fact that the Japan earthquake lasted only a few minutes so why was the earthquake signature frequency (2.5 Hz) being recorded for 10 hours on the morning of March 11, 2011? Because a HAARP phased array antenna system was broadcasting (transmitting) the 2.5Hz ULF frequency and it triggered the Japan earthquake and ensuing tsunami.

The HAARP complex is situated within a 23-acre lot in a relatively isolated region near the town of Gakona. When the final phase of the project was completed in 1997, the military had erected 180 towers, 72 feet in height, forming a "high-power, high frequency phased array radio transmitter" capable of beaming in the 2.5-10 megahertz frequency range, at more than 3 gigawatts of power (3 billion watts).

***
According to Dr. Rosalie Bertell, HAARP is part of a integrated weapons' system, which has potentially devastating environmental consequences: "It is related to fifty years of intensive and increasingly destructive programs to understand and control the upper atmosphere. It would be rash not to associate HAARP with the space laboratory construction which is separately being planned by the United States. HAARP is an integral part of a long history of space research and development of a deliberate military nature.

"has potentially" - more hard data

by crazy_inventor Friday, Sep. 21, 2012 at 5:45 PM

and yet the useful things she had to say (like mine) are skipped over :

Fukushima Nuclear Catastrophe: A Message from Dr. Rosalie Bertell

some tips on what to eat or not eat.

First, there is a great difference between medical use of radiation, with direct risk and benefit to a patient and the random distribution of a comparable dose to a large population. In the latter case the risk is magnified and the benefit goes to filling some general society benefit. Hence, the individual harm may be sacrificed for the military or economic good of a country. How or why we must make this trade off has never been well understood by the public or well explained and agreed to by reasonable civil society.

There is also a significant difference between internal contamination with radioactive debris from a nuclear disaster and direct irradiation from an external medical devise under the control of a professional who can ask for your consent, limit the exposure and take care of any problems which might unwittingly occur. When internal radioactive tracers are used in medicine they have short half lives (both biologically and physically) and are not similar to plutonium, uranium, or thorium, or other debris found in nuclear disasters.

Nevertheless, both exposures can be significant, and require some consent by those at risk. Unfortunately, this prior consent is absent in a disaster!

Persons with good general health and good basic nutritional health will fare better when the food, air, or water is contaminated since the body normally chooses uncontaminated food when it is available to it. Avoid eating salads, if you are suspicious of them being contaminated by fallout or contaminated water; and always wash carefully fruits and vegetables to remove any surface contamination.

Do not take Potassium Iodide without medical supervision. The Iodine-131 has a short half-life, and probably will not travel very far from the source unless the release from the reactor is explosive. If there is radioactive Iodine in milk then there probably also is Cobalt-60, a very dangerous gamma radiation emitter. The inorganic Cobalt is incorporated into organic Vitamin B-12 in the udder of the cow and becomes much more dangerous to the liver when ingested in milk. Be careful to get sufficient rest so that the body can undertake efficient repair of any damage. Keep hydrated with the best water available to you!

Although it is true that alpha radiation, the primary radiation in early fallout, can be stopped by paper, when this same radioactivity is released inside the body it does about 20 times the cellular damage as the equivalent dose of X-ray.

European Parliament acknowledges impact of HAARP

In February 1998, responding to a report of Mrs. Maj Britt Theorin --Swedish MEP and longtime peace advocate--, the European Parliament's Committee on Foreign Affairs, Security and Defense Policy held public hearings in Brussels on the HAARP program.(17) The Committee's "Motion for Resolution" submitted to the European Parliament: "Considers HAARP by virtue of its far-reaching impact on the environment to be a global concern and calls for its legal, ecological and ethical implications to be examined by an international independent body; [the Committee] regrets the repeated refusal of the United States Administration to give evidence to the public hearing into the environmental and public risks [of] the HAARP program." (18.)

The Committee's request to draw up a "Green Paper" on "the environmental impacts of military activities", however, was casually dismissed on the grounds that the European Commission lacks the required jurisdiction to delve into "the links between environment and defense". (19) Brussels was anxious to avoid a showdown with Washington.

hard v. flacid data

by HAARP v. 'global warming' Friday, Sep. 21, 2012 at 6:55 PM

what data? The IPCC lost it. Kinda like Hex is losing it.
***
SCIENTISTS at the University of East Anglia (UEA) have admitted throwing away much of the raw temperature data on which their predictions of global warming are based.

It means that other academics are not able to check basic calculations said to show a long-term rise in temperature over the past 150 years.

The UEA’s Climatic Research Unit (CRU) was forced to reveal the loss following requests for the data under Freedom of Information legislation.

The data were gathered from weather stations around the world and then adjusted to take account of variables in the way they were collected. The revised figures were kept, but the originals — stored on paper and magnetic tape — were dumped to save space when the CRU moved to a new building.

The admission follows the leaking of a thousand private emails sent and received by Professor Phil Jones, the CRU’s director. In them he discusses thwarting climate sceptics seeking access to such data.

In a statement on its website, the CRU said: “We do not hold the original raw data but only the value-added (quality controlled and homogenised) data.”
