The Future of Global Warming

The progress of global warming and end of human races has been established over the last 250 years through the use of hydrocarbon energy (coal, oil, natural gas). There are only about five years left to change the course of events. If greenhouse gas emissions continue at unacceptable levels a "tipping" point is exceeded around 2030-2040, beyond which there is no turning back, human races can no longer exist.  

If you are under 30-years of age -- you need to act now to correct global warming. Judging by political and media responses to issues of curtailing the threat of global warming, there would appear that few adequately understand catastrophic events. Without changes now, human races are terminated 2050-2055 CE.

Global warming is caused by about 250-years of accumulated human greenhouse gas emissions from hydrocarbon energy (coal, natural gas, and oil). At 2010, greenhouse gas increased above natural global warming of 1750 concentration of carbon dioxide is ~39%. Methane concentration increase is ~164%. These increased concentrations of greenhouse gases increase over time and if left unchecked result in exceeding a defined carbon level in 2030-2040, after which global temperatures rapidly rise. Uncontrollable temperature increase follows with undeniable 2050-2055 end of all human races.  

If global warming is mitigated there is a strong possibility that human life could exist for millions of years.

With necessary global warming mitigations not being attended to -- human life is very short lived. Because human and natural global warming greenhouse gas concentrations previously exceeded critical temperature stabilization “trip points,” after the human race terminal point is reached, no one is around to care about what happens next. Long-term effects on global warming “climate change” are largely "irreversible" for more than millions of years.  

By continually producing hydrocarbon energy infrastructures there results exceeding 'global carbon budget.' Exceeding global catastrophic energy infrastructure conditions are established about 2017. To alter the course of global warming events, there now must quickly be reductions of human and natural greenhouse gases with reductions of hydrocarbon infrastructures.   

About one-third of global warming greenhouse warming results from electrical generation gases emitted by hydrocarbon energy. Decreased hydrocarbon energy use while increasing nuclear electrical energy and increased electrical applications alters the direction of global thermal rise. Nuclear energy is the only clean energy with capacity to curb global warming. To alter the undeniable catastrophic direction, quick reduction of electrical generation hydrocarbon gases is required -- only replacement of hydrocarbon energy with nuclear energy will alter the course of global warming events.        

Understood was the global warming event by the 1960s. For more than a decade the scope and goals of global warming mitigations have been sidetracked by political process of deceit, misrepresentation, and corruption. Since 1970s political reasons, the formation of U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Congress limited nuclear to 20% national energy. The 1990s produced political misdirection of official global warming mitigation goals. In 2009 for political reasons, NRC politics shut down Yucca Mountain Nuclear Geologic Repository, which is a vital part of U.S. Nuclear Fuel Cycle. Political disruption of very critical U.S. Nuclear Fuel Cycle systems continues: delayed development of MOX fuel, covert political policies, some needless and expensive nuclear regulations, lawsuits, lack of new nuclear site permits, covert special interest political manipulations, media manipulations, etc.  

The current major obstacles to securing a future for human races is President Obama, biased media, and a dedicated small but politically influential coal, natural gas, oil energy interests. For Congress to participate in preventing 2017 exceeding of 'global carbon budget,' NRC membership is to be replaced by four senior nuclear specialists and one presidential appointee. Revised scope of revised NRC membership is to include supervisions of U.S. 'Nuclear Fuel Cycle' and rapid expansion of U.S. nuclear energy. Global and U.S. plans for global warming reduction are to be produced by intelligence agencies with the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD). Natural and human global greenhouse gases are to peak by 2020 and decline thereafter.

Over the coming five years, the least-cost and only global warming option to lowering global warming is by steadily transforming global human energy systems to nuclear energy zero greenhouse gas emissions, which in turn lowers human and natural carbon-cycle gas emissions. Difficult to reduce are Arctic Region's huge amounts of natural methane and carbon emissions that are ocean-current temperature dependent and land surface air temperature dependent. Arctic Region natural methane and carbon emissions form a powerful reinforced positive feedback loop that is directly temperature and regional emissions related, which also results in increased global warming.  

Unfortunately, too many world leaders and national politicians remain committed to continuing hydrocarbon energy dependence. Necessary planned successful social and environmental responses to global warming temperature increase are essential, many, and varied and involve lives of more than 9 billion people. No nation maintains a viable organization to respond to countering global warming temperature increase. Not in place is the needed central organization to coordinate implementation of identified needed energy, social, and environmental responses.

To make change, all one must do is start.
