By Paul K. Haeder
So, some powerbrokers in Louisiana, the Mardi Gras state, and others in other states in the Senate, want to put their heads in the sand on global warming, sea expansion, sea level rise? It's one state that will suffer big-time from human-caused global warming, yet the political so-called leaders want to stop efforts to avoid its inundation by rising sea water from hurricanes, or just from a heated up sea and ice melts.
see “Sea levels may rise 3 times faster than IPCC estimated, could hit 6 feet by 2100“.
Governor Jindal (and presidential hopeful -- not another!!) and Senators Vitter, Landrieu and Murkowski just don't get it (see “Jindal Tries to Block Climate Change Regulation“). And go to -- GOP Sen. Vitter tried to block climate change response centers. Or how about: Landrieu wants to jettison cap-and-trade.
Preventing Clean Air Act regulation of global warming pollution is a wrong move.
We’re looking at the Five E’s of sustainability – energy, environment, equity, economy, education – to find solutions offered by those looking at efforts to push us into a new paradigm. We’ll comment on ways our species and biosphere are adapting to changes in climate and ecosystems. Dedicated individuals working in planning, climate science, architecture, computer technology, and other disciplines will make connections to technology and science with sustainable development.
