Default Earth w/o Magnetosphere, w/o Moon

The Earth has periods of warming and cooling that appear to have no
connection whatsoever with the activity of man. While it is possible
that we are 'aggravating' Global Warming it is unlikely that we have
caused it or that we can stop it by our actions.


That's mostly true, whereas I give humanity all of 10% worth of the
ongoing GW fiasco, and the other 90% as contributed to our extremely
large, massive and nearby moon that has only been with us since the last
ice age.

However, as it is, it takes a good -20 j/m2 shift and more than a month
in order to force a given summertime environment into an icy winter
environment. Obviously it'll take a little something extra, plus
countless years of better than -20 J/m2 in order to reconstruct those
absolutely missive layers and vast areas worth of such thick ice, as far
as reaching their frost well into the tropics of Cancer/Capricorn.

It is to our advantage to do those things that will enable us to
adapt, rather than try to stop the inevitable at the cost of our
economy.


We seem to be running on Muslim blood, or any other blood that's getting
in our way.

INSULATION will protect against both heat and cold. To triple the
insulation in our homes makes a good deal of sense.


Oddly, I have R1024/m at your disposal, and its somewhat structural as
well as essentially fire proof.

DOMES will protect against high winds in the Super Storm category.
Geodesic domes should become the 'new' style in above ground housing.


I agree, as well as for promoting 50/50 underground for those bad solar
days w/o a viable magnetosphere to defend our frail DNA seems like a
good move.

UNDERGROUND homes don't get hit by the wind at all and provide
enormous insulation besides. Obviously a good choice where a high
water table doesn't present problems.


Now you're talking common sense and of what's perfectly doable within
existing expertise and resources.

ELECTRICITY provides the energy to produce either heat or cold for our
homes as well as lighting, cooking, and hot water, et. al. Massive
nuclear reactors in relatively barren parts of our country should be
built to augment our electrical power reserves.


The composite solar PV, Stirling and Wind Turbine energy footprint
density is roughly 100 fold better off than most anything nuclear.

DISTILLATION of Sea Water should be developed that could take the
place of rivers and streams that dry up due to Global Changes.


Lots of spare energy in = h2o out.

OUTER SPACE needs our top priority so that man can leave the Earth and
be free of Earth's changes, cold, hot, or violent. Space Colonies
will 'not' be affected by Earth's climate except when they are still
dependent on Earth for resupply.


All we or rather China have to accomplish is that of our moon's L1.

GENETIC ENGINEERING can adapt man to a particular environment. While
our current capabilites are marginal, soon adaptation to extreme
environments will be Genetics 101 taught at the Freshman level.


Intelligent design is but one of the ways out of this horrific mess.

SOLAR ENGINEERING so we can tame that big furnace 'up there' that is
currently melting our ice caps.


Silly jewboy that's still in denial; without our pesky mascon/moon, or
simply with our moon relocated out to Earth L1 would more than cool off
mother Earth, and then some.

The above are a few suggestions that could -- if done in time -- help
prevent cataclysmic events by enabling us to simply adapt to the
changes. The events would then be 'dramatic' but not 'cataclysmic'.


But first you'll have to get most all of those born-again liars (mostly
those Third Reich minions of the Old Testament and/or Skull and Bones
types) out of public office. Good luck on that one.

The best housing will probably be geodesic domes made of aluminum
tubes covered with aluminum plates with lexan windows, which would
simply be lexan plates put side by side for windows of any size.

All of this would be on an 18" concrete footer and covered over with
basalt fabric and epoxy. Basalt has a high insulative factor.
Aluminum is inexpensive, easily moved and worked, is quite strong and
doesn't rust.

This should result in a dome, perhaps several stories in height, that
could take Super Hurricanes and protect against either extreme heat or
cold. The interior of such a dome could be aluminum frame with wood
paneling or dry wall.

A large stone fireplace near the center of the dome would allow for
emergency heat, light, and cooking in the event of a power failure.

There are currently domes made of ferro-concrete and also of wood.
Domes can take much higher winds that a traditionally shaped home.
The geodesic dome structure is extremely strong and resilient.

Global Warming warrents both concern and reasonable preparation. Dome
homes are one way to protect your family.
