CLIMATE CHANGE - HAS ADVERSELY IMPACTED THE UNITED STATES MORE IN THE SOUTH - EUROPE HAS DRASTIC CHANGES - DROUGHT AND FIRES - AND THERE IS MORE.

 





They say China pollutes and depletes the Ozone - and the United States - and Europe - trying to reopen power plants and using fossil fuel - after Russia - has turned off the pipeline Europe once thought would meet its needs.



All over the world - climate change is playing havoc - hot weather in the South here in the United States. In Europe - drought - and hot weather in France, Germany, and other parts.

Here in San Francisco and California, we experience one kind of infernos - forests - thousands of acres - burnt to the ground.

When one witnesses hundreds of Redwood trees - that once were healthy and towered so high - one could not see the sky. Now, burnt with scars and yet defying the fire - and speaking to us - human beings do something about this situation.

The rivers where the salmon visit yearly to spawn - as each year goes by - the salmon count goes down - this time around less than ninety salmon in the Tuolumne River.

The Tuolumne River - was once a mighty river - that is until the Hetch Hetchy dam was built - by some greedy folks who stole the land - sold the water that they got for free - and think nothing about the salmon the dwindling - who will speak for the salmon?

Climate change is here to stay - greedy people have abused, polluted, and contaminated the Earth.

When one witnesses old growth forest - redwood trees - that were thousands of years old - cut down - to harvest the wood - and make money - as much as S10,000 plus a tree. 

I spoke a little about one river - the Tuolumne - thousands of rivers and rivulets have been contaminated - once pristine. 

Our Elders, when asked about the harm done to Mother Earth - shed tears - there is nothing to say.

Today all the regulations - the United States Environmental Protection Agency, the U.S. Forest Department - the many other agencies, Federal, State, and Local - have failed us when curtailing land, air, and water pollution.





Janet Yellen from the Federal Reserve Bank - discussed various issues with her counterpart, He Lifeng. Both He Lifeng and Janet Yellen have known each other for a long time. When we have honest dialog - we can go a long way.


In years past, He Lifeng, now the Vice-Premier - and Chinese Chairman Xi Jinping - worked on many issues and projects. Both Xi Jinping and He Lifeng under a lot about economics.

Janet Yellen impressed her Communist China counterparts by having a dialog on all subjects. Important and controversial topics - the United States and China - could discuss these special issues privately.

Kudos to Janet Yellen - a woman - speaks Truth to Power - and is forthright - she does not favor " decoupling" and favors open, frank dialog - on any controversial issues - and assures her counterpart that they can and must - come out with solutions.

As a matter of fact, the United States promised $3 billion to address Climate Change and has spent $2 Billion so far.

The U.S. Republicans have tried their best - to put hurdles and stop President Joe Biden from helping the world - and addressing Climate Change issues.

Such are the ways of evil demagogues - who love stalling plans - addressing Climate Change, recycling,  building Nitrogen Power Plants - the Infrasture Bill President Joe Biden - put in place to curtain contamination and pollution. 

We have roads with too many potholes - roads in disrepair. Bridges that have past their use - and are falling apart.

We have power plants that still use coal and pollute.

Cement plants that pollute - Steel plants that pollute - we have proven technology - using nitrogen. We have plants that can produce a product like cement that does not pollute the environment and spew carbon dioxide.






The Ukraine War has set Europe backward - Germany, France, Italy, Austria, Denmark, Sweden, Finland - others - are all putting together plans to distribute electricity, natural gas, clean energy from wind turbines, solar panels, hydroelectricity, lithium batteries, and more. 


Russia and Vladimir Putin have chosen to kill and harm with intent - Putin does this by murdering infants, children, women, men, and elders - all civilians - and thinks nothing of actions.

Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine - his action and what is happening in Ukraine - his army confused and confounded, his General have to good strategy - Vladimir Putin today is weak.

Recently -  Vladimir Putin made a fool of himself.

His buddy Yevgeny Prigozhin - who heads the Wagner Group  - mercenaries who work for Vladimir Putin in Syria and many African nations. 

The Wagner mercenaries operated in Syria - Libya, Sudan, Central African Republic, Angola, and more. They protect autocratic African leaders - they are paid in gold, rare minerals, and whatever has value. This nonsense has been going on for decades.

There are serious Climate Changes in many African Nations - many times, the damage spurs from war and the destruction of forests, polluting rivers using mercury to pan and finding gold.

The Wagner mercenaries rape, kill women - burn homes, and murder anyone in cold blood.

Only - now the world knows more about Vladimir Putin and his deep connection with his crazy buddy - Yevgeny Prigozhin.

The oligarchs that once worked with Vladimir Putin and bribed him with millions and billions of dollars - and now fleeing their yachts taken away from them - by the United States, Britain, Fiji, Malta, Seychelles, Maldives, and many other countries - who belong to the United Nations - and have sanctioned the oligarchs.

African nations in East and Central Africa are enduring hardship never seen before. Cattle, goats, sheep, camels, and other domestic animals are starving and dying.

Many tribes walk for miles to find succor in some refugee camps. - only to find more hardships - the United Nations tries their best to best - thousands of Africans - some have endured back-to-back droughts - other calamities that bring about the demise of innocent people - just because they happen to live in Africa.  

The climate crisis is knocking at our doors - and those nations - more so-called Super Powers - are quick to steal, rob, and pillage precious resources when ground zero is tolerable. 

Climate change is here - sea level rise is here - and yet we continue to deplete the Ozone layer - that once kept heat to a minimum - now, with our oceans getting warmer - all sorts of adverse situations take place.

Once, we had corrals flourishing no more. Scientists are now trying to save the corrals. In Europe, in the United States, in Southeast Asain, on the continent of Africa - crops are perishing - sometimes because there is no water - at other times - because of pestilence.  

We must avoid exploiting the land the old way - look for progressive and vetted methods - to bring about viable and sustainable results.

We must act to share the latest technology - with those who can benefit from the progress made - and help grow crops that do not need - tons of fertilizer that adversely impacts the watershed.

We can now generate energy using Hydrogen, wind power, hydroelectricity, and solar power - we do not do this on a war footing.

Not to say that nuclear power can be harnessed better today than some decades ago. Bottom line - those who are into the environment - those experts who have a good track record - we all must share our concepts and ideas - for the better of humanity.







Here is a U.S. Coast Guard Cutter - patrolling Artic - named after Captin Alex Haley - who made his home in San Francisco. Large glaciers are breaking up - and polar bears now floating on ice islands - where once the ice was thick - and in one mass - allowing the Polar bears and other animals to move from place to place. - safely. Climate Change is adversely impacting the Arctic.


Huge glaciers broken up from the big ones float, and one can see some off the coast of New Zealand, Australia, and Alaska in the Pacific Ocean.

We have Aboriginals from Australia - who can be linked to Africa - when human beings - could travel thousands of miles - when large land masses were intact. 

We can use DNA and find out more - scientists have linked the Aboriginals to some in India using DNA. It is just a matter of time - using DNA, we can connect - humans worldwide.

Those that participated in colonization - never had the better interest of the indigenous people. Only the indigenous people call the Earth - Mother Earth.

Only the indigenous people take little and leave more for future generations.

We can use DNA and find out that most indigenous people lived and protected the land, the waters, and the air - for over 15,000 years.

Those colonists, the Dutch, the Belgians, the English, the Portuguese, the Spanish others who traded slaves and controlled the local habitants with disdain and torture - have BLOOD on their hands.

The deeds of the colonists and the adverse of the forests, be it the Amazon in Central Africa cutting off old-growth forests - is astounding.

The deeper we get into the details - the more we realize about the colonist monsters - one of a kind - greedy to the core. 

When we see elephants vanish - we know it is because the colonists put a value on the tasks - and today, the population has been reduced - to a bare minimum.

It is the same with the Buffalo that roamed the plains of Turtle Island. Thousands of Buffalo were killed for their fur - skinned, and the flesh of the  Buffalo was left to rot. 

It is the same with gold, diamonds, rare metals, petroleum, and natural gas - the greed of the two-legged animal knows no bounds.





The Indigenous lived on Turtle Island for 15,000 years.





Life is for the living - not the living dead.





Indigenous women created naturally pleasant to see and behold.





Check out the smile - radiant and awe-inspiring.





Behold nature and behold the beautiful.





Turquoise is the stone that heals and spreads love.






Frederick Douglass a self-educated genius and good friend of President Abraham Lincoln - he helped to free the slaves - an orator, abolitionist, and a man that had charisma second to none.





Chief Joseph - Leader of the Nez Perce






Chief Sitting Bull - he defeated Custer.











The Tuolumne River - by Hetch Hetchy Valley.






This monument was removed - it stood not far from  San Francisco's City Hall - as we passed it - we wanted it gone - it was a disgrace to the human race. The missionary and the white man - display actions - of disdain and stupidity.
