"HOW TO FIX EVERYTHING
Best Carbon Practices
We are crashing towards mass extinction.
Climate change is only 1 of 6 drivers of mass extinction.
Energy demand is set to double in 50 years.
Emissions have to go down 80% in 30 years.
Green energy uses more minerals for less energy than fossil fuels.
Post-peak minerals will hit in 20 years – more energy for less minerals.
It takes 10X more intermittent electrical energy to displace one unit of fossil electrical energy.

Green energy systems only last 30 years and have to be replaced.
We can’t replace billions of green systems every 30 years and save earth.
Recycling their alloys is difficult and uses more energy than mining.
Green energy doesn’t run on the sun and wind, it runs on mining minerals.
Green energy is driven by short-term greedy capitalism and corruption.
In 30 years, when you need to replace your systems, it will cost too much.
Especially under current emissions-depletions-extinction scenarios.

We can’t get rid of capitalism and corruption by definition of capture and crime.
We have to redefine the basis it works on, which is money.
Carbon charring soil reduces C02 6X more efficiently than anything else we can do. It also rejuvenates and renews soil. We have to reduce C02 more efficiently than the current national currency system. We do this by pricing carbon-charred soil using 100% private-citizen carbon-tax dividends with no share for corporations and governments directly deposited to you in a new world currency system so that fossil energy pays you to carbon-char soil. A carbon charred soil variant can even remediate Fukushima's nuclear waste. See here:

Pricing carbon-charred soil produced organic food in this new currency will reduce GMO foods. Pricing carbon-taxes into livestock consumption will reduce emissions and species extinctions. Crop and pasture lands are responsible for 80% of species extinctions. We have to hit a bullseye on 4 moving targets simultaneously with tax incentives worldwide all at once, so that we can:
1) increase carbon-charring soils.
2) decrease mass livestock production.
3) increase organic food production.
4) decrease energy emissions.
We will have to turn depleted uranium munitions into ploughshares all over the world at once. That’s why Monsanto and the gas-pipeline giants are killing each other in the Ukraine, for money and power, in one of the largest remaining GMO-free breadbaskets of Europe. Climate scientist James Hansen and world-renowned ecology professors begged green NGOs to let nuclear science save life on earth. They we're rebuffed. The U.S. has enough nuclear waste to power themselves for 300 years, at least. We are now able to get power from nuclear waste making it safer and cheaper. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2014/12/16/turn_to_nuclear_power_to_save_planetary_ecology_from_renewable_blight/
Nuclear thorium power promises plenty of low-emissions power to aid in that clean-up and can resolve proliferation, safety and storage issues.

We have to use nuclear thorium-type power to clean up uranium waste to provide the base power green energy needs to clean up its act and reach carbon-energy resource efficiencies. Solar and wind power have their place but, the idea of solar panels making solar panels for everyone is ecologically unsustainable worldwide. Corporations know we don't have enough resources to make green energy for everyone on earth forever. They don't care, that's not their goal. They are competing to see how many solar panels and wind turbines they can sell before we run out. We are better than that.

Listen to Thomas J. Goreau tell you how to actually reduce C02 while producing energy and boosting soils:

Listen to Dr. James White tell you how fast earth can change:

Ocean plankton is disappearing 1% per year, when something depletes that fast -- it is 100% gone in 70 years. That won't matter because when it is 50% gone, you won't be able to breathe.

Right now, we are killing elephants and orangutans in Indonesia so we can slash and burn rainforests to grow soy and palm oil to burn as biofuels in cars made with solar power in Germany. China's pigs eat half the soy grown in South America. Watch the Amazon burn to make soy and pasture fields here:

biochar is less effective at solving climate issues than mycoremediation, composting and huglecutlure type practices.

The only doom and gloom scenario I might buy is terroristic in nature, and I doubt even that will happen. Silly fear-mongering like this doesn't take Moore's Law into account.
