Jill Stien says COP21 has FAILED the people

Dear Friend -- I wanted to report back to you after an intense week in Paris, where the global community was gathered for the COP21 UN Climate Summit. Firstly, the recent tragic attacks in Paris, California and elsewhere weighed heavily on the week’s proceedings, so that the struggle against climate crisis was embedded in a landscape of terrorism and violence. As global crises of climate, security, the economy, and democracy converge, we must redouble our efforts for transformational solutions to build a world of peace, justice, and human rights. I spoke about some of these solutions at a People’s Climate Summit conference on climate and militarism, which you can read more about here. As the summit progressed and its final outcome took shape, it became clear that COP21 has failed to take the action necessary to prevent global climate catastrophe. The voluntary, unenforceable pledges being produced by COP21 are entirely insufficient to prevent climate crisis. Scientific analysis shows that these pledges will lead us to 3 degrees centigrade global temperature rise - and that will be catastrophic. Some of the pledges being touted as historic agreements could actually result in increases in emission of greenhouse gasses. Plans are adopting deceptive measures of success, such as reductions in the amount of carbon emitted per unit of GDP. Countries are claiming to be making progress when they are not reducing their actual pollution by a single ounce. Mother Nature doesn’t respond to such games. It is the real quantity of pollution that determines whether we will destroy the climate or save it. Despite the seriousness of the threat, some of the major polluters remain committed to protecting the fossil fuel industry rather than taking serious action. I include in that group the United States, wherePresident Obama’s promotion of the hydrofracking industry is leading to a spreading cancer of polluted groundwater and fracked gas pipelines. These pipelines, along with expansion of offshore oil drilling, have to be stopped if we are to make our required contribution to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The United States and other industrial nations are failing to adequately fund transition and adaptation efforts in developing countries. It is the US and major industrialized countries that are primarily responsible for climate change. We have both a moral and legal responsibility to compensate other countries for the damages we have inflicted, and to enable them to find sustainable paths to development that will raise their standards of living. One area of progress in Paris was growing recognition of the need to limit the global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees centigrade, rather than 2.0 degrees. It is now clear that many countries will experience catastrophic damage from the higher target. Unfortunately, the current agreements won't even keep global warming below 3 degrees. However, the new international target of 1.5 degrees does provide a tool to push our local, state and national governments to accelerate the transition to 100% clean renewable energy as quickly as possible. I had the honor of speaking to attendees of the Belong Forum in a program that included China’s deputy chief climate negotiator and other leading climate advocates. China has recently reoriented its economic planning to make climate protection a primary goal of its development plans. Also, as a result of its recent election, Canada has a government that is promising more vigorous support for climate protection. The United States also needs to move forward. The United States bears primary responsibility for killing hope for a binding international treaty to avert climate catastrophe. I will return to the United States determined to work to break the grip of the fossil fuel industry on Congress and the White House. Our country must begin to show the leadership the world needs at this critical moment in human history. It's time for the people of all nations - whose future is being sacrificed by the failure of COP21 - to demand that their leaders live up to their responsibilities for protecting us from climate change. We must insist that the polluting engines of planetary destruction be replaced by the clean, sustainable, just economy that we truly deserve. We must take our future into our own hands, and give our children a livable world. It’s in our hands! PS. Humankind has never so urgently needed a political movement that puts people and planet over profit. Your support helps us to continue building this vital movement together. Please support my campaign today so I can bring the call for real climate action into the 2016 Presidential race. Thank you for all that you do!

MOhemp Energy: Hemp for Income and Soil Remediation of Nuclear Waste in Bridgeton Missouri and the Cold Water Creek area of the St. Louis Region

Hemp for Income and Soil Remediation of Nuclear Waste in Bridgeton Missouri and the Cold Water Creek area of the St. Louis Region
During the Manhattan Project Nuclear waste was dumped in a landfill in the StLouis Region. People are getting sick, cancer is rampant, Govt Buildings are being abandoned, babies born with birth defects, the list goes on.

This is an EPA Superfund site that has been neglected for years.

Introduction of Soil Remediation of Nuclear Waste at the Bridgeton Landfill and Cold Water Creek areas with a Natural Solution that will pay for itself from the crop grown, harvested, and sold.

From my research and contacts I am confident that Hemp in combination with a special mushroom can be used as a soil remediation tool that will eliminate the Radiation of the Bridgeton Landfill.

Then after harvesting the Industrial Hemp Plants the core of the hemp plant can be used to retrofit and create energy efficient homes- naturally-dependent on the testing of the end products radiation levels are within acceptable limits. If the end products do not meet this required end use radiation levels, the author has also explored other end uses that are mentioned in the following thesis.

No part of the Industrial Hemp Plant will be wasted. The Hemp Fibers and Hemp Lignin also have uses and options and marketability.

There is an existing demand that could be met. As long as, previously noted in the above paragraph that the radiation levels are within acceptable limits.

The submitter of this proposal has done extensive research in all aspects of Hemp Production, Hemp Harvesting, Hemp Raw Materials, and Hemp End Users that can make this proposed use of the existing landfill not only profitable venture and speculates that in due time the

Radiation Levels of the Bridgeton landfill will be controllable under certain circumstances as it relates to surface and subsurface soil properties.

Specifically the surface of the existing soil to a depth of 8 feet. This is also the area and depth of the soil contaminates that are causing all the health issues associated with nuclear waste that are plaguing the residents of the Bridgeton and Cold Water Creek region.

Author also proposes that all usable parts of the hemp plant be financially exploited and turned into income producing products that will offset much if not all of the costs of growing the Industrial Hemp Plant as well as the processes and equipment needed for the endeavor.

Any and all of the information used in this proposal can be verified and is also used in a startup business plan, the author has been working on and is receiving-high regards from Hemp Industry Professionals in the business.

One of which is on the record as stating: The Hemp Inventions described by the Author could be the "Holy Grail needed in the Hemp Industry".

MOhemp Energy is the planned name of the future business and is a Future Missouri Industrial Hemp Business that provides: Biomass Renewable Energy, Livestock feedstocks, Non Pollution Biodiesel, and Energy Conserving building products. All of which will be grown, harvested and processed in Missouri with end product sales geared to other Missouri Businesses.

The Vision Statement of MOhemp Energy: This document describes the creation and operation of a Farm-to-Market Enterprise based on the cultivation and sale of hemp-based products. That can be grown for income and to reduce the contaminants of the nuclear waste left over from the Manhattan Project that still plague the residents in the St Louis Region.

The quote by Paul Harvey- "...it all starts with a Farmer..." Holds true in this business.

The author of this document was prepared by a Resident of Missouri with established connections in the Farming Community, Construction and Suppliers as well as End users for the Hemp-based products. This thesis and partial business plant is geared-towards and reflects: a Missouri Hemp-based Enterprise.

MOhemp Energy is not trying to reinvent the wheel with the planned business. MOhemp Energy is adopting the proven procedures and machinery that Canada, China and other European Countries have been utilizing in their Hemp-based businesses.

Supporting Documents, reports, case studies, Agricultural data, etc are available for viewing and discussion or anything else mentioned in this document as it relates to growing hemp in Missouri and the establishment of a Hemp-based Enterprise feel free to speak directly with the author.

Unknowns Future Research

I'll be adding financials to go with this proposal as well as the most current information as I mention in the proposal from my European Hemp Industry Expert as well as his studies data and findings.

We can also create a few jobs as long as we know that everyone is safe from the rads.

This venture venture will pay for itself. I am 100% sure that I can get the Hemp Planted to Market- on its own with a ROI in 5-10 yrs. {as long as the rad levels in the end products are within acceptable limits}

What I'm not sure of is:
Testing, Health Risks to Workers, Proper Working Attire, Regulations, etc.

My personal Chemical Experience comes from while I was in the Army. It was SOP for everyone to go thru Chemical attack and safety procedures with chemical suits and masks, part of the training takes place inside a building named The Gas Chamber.

I'm sure the needed training, equipment suggestions, and miscellaneous procedures are easily accessible via the people on the ground now who are working and monitoring the Landfill now.

In many of the photos I've seen; the workers are in normal construction attire and working around existing construction machines.

Of course I have questions and will Partner and Consult with all Parties Involved on a Daily Basis.

I'm bringing you a solution that has worked elsewhere in the world. Just because it's never been done in the USA does not mean it does not work or isn't effective.

Please take the time as you go thru the document. I've done my best to present this information in a manner that is easily understood by anyone. I can provide additional details on anything I've mentioned if there are any questions. If for some reason that I don't have an answer I have the Hemp connections to go to for anything answer that is needed.

I will be posting more info and financials to go with this proposal in the coming week.  Scotty 12/6/2015 9:42 pm

Renewable Energy fills Tank vacated by Oil Industry

Motely Fools are Foolish-here is why

I realize this is a oil industry story and the writers promote and own stock in the oil industry but I feel actions mentioned by Motely Fool and their latest article: Crude Price Crash Could Drill a 19 Million-Barrel Hole in Future Supplies.   Is another example of where renewable energy will fill the gap that dirty oil is unable to fill.

The #DirtyOil #MotelyFools lovers are Foolish They failed to consider...ZERE cars #COP21

— Scotty (@StLHandyMan) December 6, 2015

Another Example where Renewable Energy fills Tank 

The article states that future oil supplies are in jeopardy because of the lack of drilling ventures being pursued around the world at the present.  Motley Fool implies that due to feasibility issues are the driving force behind the lack of drilling ventures being pursued-regardless of location whether its deep water drilling, tar sand mining, or drilling on land.  Will leave the future world in short supply.


They state that all the big names in the dirty oil business have cancelled or postponed future wells.  Who would have envisioned (Exon, Total, TPH, Statoil) from not continuing the business as usual of harvesting the polluting the World with the dirty oil they take out of the earth.

Using Friday 11.27.2015 NYMEX oil price for January delivery of $41.71 per barrel.  I calculate that 19 million barrels at $41.71 equals close to 800 trillion dollars that dirty oil will not have  [(19,000,000,000 barrels) x ($41.71 NYMEX per barrel)= $792,490,000,000].

#COP21 Demonstrators 

The Motely Fools are Foolish

They failed to consider and I don't think they had the forethought to consider how Renewable and Sustainable Energy is primed and will be ready to meet this demand left by the supposed lack of oil reserves.

This is great news for both the Climate of the World and the Future of the Renewable Energy business such as biodiesel, solar, wind, hydrogen, and electricity storage companies.

I'm sure that Tesla Motors is licking their chops at the chance to meet the upcoming demand.

          The Oil Industry and their future in the energy 

business is in serious jeopardy. 

At long last mankind will loosened from the poisonous grip the dirty oil industry has had on the world since the dawn of the industrial age.   

The biggest question is will it be done in time to avoid the devastating effects of climate change.

ZERE cars are coming! Zero Emissions Range Extended what a concept Hydro & Electric combo another #COP21 declaration https://t.co/unL0vrnRtE

— Scotty (@StLHandyMan) December 6, 2015

Intelligent Energy’s CEO, Henri Winand, has today welcomed a landmark declaration, announced at the COP21 Climate Change Conference in Paris, which sees a range of global actors from large companies to international organisations committing to increasing the adoption of electric and hydrogen vehicle technology in order to drastically reduce emissions and slow the rate of global warming.

The Paris Declaration on Electro-Mobility and Climate Change & Call to Action brings together individual and collective commitments to increase electro-mobility to levels compatible with a less-than 2-degree pathway. It builds on current successful experiences worldwide and the converging interest of all transport modes for hybrid/electric solutions.

Partners to the Declaration (see table below) commit to broaden their efforts and call for a decisive joint effort towards sustainable transport electrification – including that at least 20% of all road vehicles (cars, 2 and 3-wheelers, trucks, buses and others) are to be electrically powered by 2030.

COP21 StLouis Climate March at the Arch

Here are my 10 biggest takeaways from the #OursToLose Climate March at the Arch in StLouis. In which I was proud participant in last Sunday at the Arch.

I'm headed to the Climate March at the Arch! #OursToLose #Stlouis

— Scotty (@StLHandyMan) November 29, 2015

The gathering of like minded individuals was an eye opening experience for me to say the least.

#OursToLose Climate March at the Arch in StLouis

I learned in the brief correspondence while talking to the other participants that:

1. There were as many older generations ages- 50 plus, as younger generations of less than 30 years old- that care about the health of our Planet and Pollution that is causing world wide climate change from the business as usual approach of the Big Business Polluting Machines 
   
2. The participants were interested and knowledgeable to the importance of Energy Conservation as well as generating True Clean Energy. 
   
3. Climate March #OursToLose StLouis Participants are not happy with the local activities of the Dirty Coal Machine Ameren UE.  
   
4. Some of the local Solar Installation Companies in StLouis are not adequately trained in the proper ways of installing Solar Racking on challenging roofs. 
   
5. Pointing our finger at other countries such as China who is a big polluter, does not help at the Local Level.  I firmly believe that society as a whole needs to: Chop Wood and Carry Water- mankind must not point to another country without taking care of business at home. 
   
6. It was great to see a #BlackLivesMatter supporter at the march!  Climate Change affects everyone regardless of Race, Creed, or Community Status- we are all in this together. 
   
7. People that live around the Labadie Dirty Coal Plant are worried about their Personal and Families Health from the Pollution via the noted 4th Dirtiest Coal Plant in the Entire USA.
   
8. The boundary line between my activities and what I'm doing needs to be broken in relation to networking with other clean energy and energy conservation promoters and businesses in the St Louis region.  We are all in this together and their is plenty of work and buildings in the StLouis region for everyone.  I personally need to extend the Olive Branch to others in the region to lend my support for their activities as well as letting them know of what I am working on.  I believe in action over inaction and start by listing the information from 2 of the companies working in the area right here that were also proud participants at the #COP21 #OursToLose StLouis Climate March.  Please check out their websites and to give them a call: Aaron Michel Energy Resources Group, inc and Brian Ettling Climate Change Communicator 
   
9. You will meet some of the nicest people at Social Gatherings and as it was pointed out you can even find love and meet the person of your dreams! 
   
10. I believe to put up or shut up.  And to prove this I will be offering rock bottom prices on any energy conservation activities I will be doing for my StLouis neighbors.  I am going to cut the prices of any and all activities for the remainder of the 2015.  I'm sure this will make the bookkeeper cringe but I will offer a 50% labor discount on any and all green building projects that I bid on for the remainder of the year.

We can build a green St Louis- Join Me in making the world and our region a better place for all.
