but when there\u2019s more fact than speculation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Under the Soviet Moon<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In the late 1950\u2019s, The United States of America was caught with its pants down.&nbsp;&nbsp;The Soviet Union beat America into space.&nbsp;&nbsp;Sputnik was the first successful satellite placed in orbit, and soon Yuri Gagarin was the first man in space.&nbsp;&nbsp;Lyndon Johnson, then Senate Majority Leader and soon to be Vice President, warned of \u201c\u2026going to sleep by the light of a Soviet Moon.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>America went to work.&nbsp;We put more emphasis on space, starting with NASA and the&nbsp;<em>Mercury Program.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/em>And we also placed a greater emphasis on math and science in public schools, to develop the skillset in American students to ultimately \u201cwin\u201d in space.&nbsp;We were all on \u201cthe mission,\u201d to quote President Kennedy:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201c\u2026We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills\u2026\u201d (<a href=\"https:\/\/er.jsc.nasa.gov\/seh\/ricetalk.htm\">NASA<\/a>)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Method<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>So as a boy in school in the early 1960\u2019s I was raised on the \u201cscientific method.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;It was a way of analyzing problems, and trying to determine answers.&nbsp;&nbsp;Here\u2019s \u201cthe method:\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Make an observation.<\/li><li>Ask a question.<\/li><li>Form a hypothesis, or testable explanation.<\/li><li>Make a prediction based on the hypothesis.<\/li><li>Test the prediction.<\/li><li>Iterate: use the results to make new hypotheses or predictions.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>We learned to trust in science, in the method, and in the results.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today science has made it very clear that we have but little time to \u201csave the world.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0Our planet is changing, the climate is warming, and it is dramatically impacting our life.\u00a0\u00a0Science demonstrates that one significant cause of that change is modern civilization, and more exactly, the byproducts of the use of carbon based fuels.\u00a0We are changing our world, and, science tells us, that we have reached a tipping point.\u00a0\u00a0If we don\u2019t alter the balance of carbon byproducts in our atmosphere by 2050, we will lose the chance to \u201cfix\u201d the problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Observation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We can see the impacts already (making \u201cobservations\u201d.)&nbsp;&nbsp;We know that our \u201cweather\u201d has changed.&nbsp;&nbsp;The extremes are greater, the storms are more intense, the heat greater (and the cold, Mr. President, be careful what you wish for in the winter.)&nbsp;&nbsp;From Force Five hurricanes, to the storm system that quickly turned into a tropical storm and is flooding Houston today, they have all occurred before.&nbsp;&nbsp;But now it happens with much greater regularity.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And we can see the non-linear impacts as well.&nbsp;There is a drought in Central America, particularly El Salvador (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalgeographic.com\/environment\/2018\/11\/el-salvador-water-crisis-drought-climate-change\/\">National Geographic<\/a>) and as a result, people are forced to leave their homes.&nbsp;Many are coming to the United States, not because they want to, but because they have little choice.&nbsp;&nbsp;We now have climate migrants, and a real issue at the Southern Border created by our changing climate.&nbsp;&nbsp;It will only get worse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So when we \u201cobserve\u201d all of this, we need to ask the question:&nbsp;&nbsp;why is our climate changing?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hypothesis<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Climate Change Deniers have \u201cformed their hypothesis.\u201d\u00a0They really don\u2019t deny the change, they simply say that the climate has changed in the past, and it\u2019s doing it again.\u00a0They say it&#8217;s part of the planetary cycle, and humans have little impact on it.\u00a0\u00a0So, it\u2019s not our problem, not our fault, and not a reason to change our behavior.\u00a0We need to just deal with the consequences.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s so damn convenient.&nbsp;&nbsp;We don\u2019t have to take responsibility for melting ice caps, rising oceans, and extremes in weather.&nbsp;&nbsp;It\u2019s not our fault, and we can\u2019t do anything about it.&nbsp;&nbsp;So burn that coal, oil and gas.&nbsp;&nbsp;Let\u2019s make the profit, before we all have to pay the price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But there is a more \u201chopeful\u201d hypothesis, and one that has been tested and found correct.\u00a0\u00a0We have dumped the waste products of our \u201chydrocarbon success\u201d into the skies and waters.\u00a0\u00a0What we have put in the sky, carbon waste products, serves to \u201cinsulate\u201d our planet and warm our oceans.\u00a0\u00a0This provides the \u201cfuel\u201d that changes our climate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This hypothesis has been tested over and over again for years.\u00a0\u00a0Even back in 1977, Exxon-Mobil, the biggest oil producer in the world, had it\u2019s own scientists predict that in fifty years their hydrocarbon emissions would alter the environment.\u00a0\u00a0We are almost there; our world has \u201ctested their hypothesis,\u201d and they were right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Prediction<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This doesn\u2019t sound \u201chopeful,\u201d but science offers us a way out.\u00a0\u00a0Make radical changes to our hydro-carbon use, stop dumping our \u201ctrash\u201d in the sky, and we can stop mitigate the damage, and reverse the trend.\u00a0\u00a0We get to keep \u201cour world.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0We\u2019ve got twenty years to get it done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve heard Millennials say it more than once:&nbsp;&nbsp;\u201cI won\u2019t have children, how can I bring them into a world which will be dramatically altered by the time their adults?&nbsp;&nbsp;It\u2019s not fair to them.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;They say that, because they have no belief in change; no faith that our leaders, government, or institutions can a make a difference.&nbsp;&nbsp;They are hopeless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My grandfather was born in a time before there was human flight.&nbsp;&nbsp;My father was born before there was television.&nbsp;&nbsp;I was born before men went into space, or a computer could fit in a room, much less a pocket.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We will change, for better or worse, so why not now?&nbsp;&nbsp;We will do&nbsp;<em>\u201c\u2026the other things\u2026because they are hard.\u201d&nbsp;<\/em>&nbsp;The election of 2020 is a turning point in so many ways, but this is perhaps the most important one.&nbsp;&nbsp;Will we allow our own actions to damage our planet beyond repair, or will we step up, as we did in the 1960\u2019s, and commit to change?&nbsp;&nbsp;It\u2019s not for me, one of the Baby-Boomers; I\u2019ll be lucky to see 2050.&nbsp;But it needs to be done for the Millennials, so they can have hope for the future, for their children.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are millions of students on the streets today, demanding that we take action.\u00a0\u00a0They are fighting for their future.\u00a0\u00a0They are right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a
