Earth’s ‘Time’s Up Moment’
One remedy: a NATIONAL AQUEDUCT
“The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand. –Carl Sagan
The news is out. Climate Scientists overwhelmingly told the United Nations to not expect that much will get better on our planet for 30 years. It will just get worse. Much worse. In 8 years, if carbon is not significantly abated, our children will face a world ruined by the adults and the powers that control the energy demands. Time is most definitely up.
So rather than blather on with the earth’s doom and gloom that has been televised each night on the evening news, let’s begin to decide that there is something that can alleviate the pain of global warming — at least here in the United States. Answer: A NATIONAL AQUEDUCT.
That’s right: an aqueduct that spreads running, fresh water from the drowning East Coast and South to the parched West Coast and all parts in between. Crazy, you say? I thought so and with a modicum of research I realized that not only is it possible — it may be the only way to save America’s breadbasket, its farmers’ land, and the need for energy that is not fossil fuel dependent.
