ENERGY-CLIMATE WORLD CHALLENGE PROJECT NEEDS PARTNERS, SPONSORS, AND DONORS! We Need 10 Million US Dollars to Build a Modern Energy-Climate Research and Training Center

The COLUMNA MESSIANIC RESEARCH is now in a bold move to build and establish a modern and advanced ENERGY-CLIMATE Research and Training Center to face the Global ENERGY-CLIMATE Challenge. This project is an initiative of the COLUMNA MESSIANIC Research, Inc., a Filipino non-profit research and educational institution.

CLIMATE CHANGE is really a BIG CHALLENGE to every person and nation on earth. And to face this BIG CHALLENGE with success, we need to have a corresponding BIG THINKING. The very survival of mankind is at stake here. We have no choice but to face this Global challenge. So, the COLUMNA MESSIANIC Research accepted and initiated this aggressive ENERGY-CLIMATE WORLD CHALLENGE project. 

We have the firsthand knowledge and experience of the root-causes of the Energy and Climate crises; and we will provide the solutions and corrective/proactive measures. We also envision to make this project a legacy to the youth and the next generations to come.

NEEDED: A MODERN ENERGY-CLIMATE RESEARCH AND TRAINING CENTER

To really have an immediate and long-lasting solutions to the monstrous and  ever-increasing triple threat of Energy, Economics, and Climate Change, there must be a continuing Energy-Climate Research and massive training of industrial workforce.  Research-based training and education will be given to the industrial workforce. A toned-down version of this research-based education will be used for the Public Awareness and Education Program about Energy and the Environment (Climate). These objectives require an advanced Energy-Climate Research and Training Center. 

In view of this grand mission, we need to raise 10 Million US dollars for a start; a small amount compared to the Billions of dollars worth of destroyed properties, and the many lives lost due to the destructive effects of the ENERGY crises and CLIMATE CHANGE.

As we search and identify the root-causes, corrective and proactive measures will be developed and implemented to eliminate those root-causes. We will develop and implement efficient strategies on Operations Management and Proactive Maintenance. Research and development of new efficient design of energy systems and procedural methods will be conducted to prevent the return of the root-causes.

We will use inspired creativity and innovation to adopt new technologies and innovative management and procedural methods in the efficient use of fossil-fueled engines and electric-powered machinery and appliances.

The resulting transformation of people and technologies should elevate their thinking and standard of living, eliminating or alleviating Climate Change crisis, Energy crisis, Economic crisis, etc.

NEEDED: YOUR PARTICIPATION, SUPPORTS, AND DONATIONS

This ENERGY-CLIMATE WORLD CHALLENGE (ECWC) campaign is of a very great import to every person on earth of this generation, and of the many other generations to come!

ECWC's mission is to search and eliminate the Root-Causes of the twin crises of ENERGY and CLIMATE CHANGE. Implementing this ECWC campaign will also give an immediate bonus of improved economic situation. ECWC's initial main work is the education and training of the workforce in businesses, industries, the government, and the academe. In addition, we will develop new efficient design, efficient management and procedural methods that will ensure the prevention of the root-causes from coming back. The mission then can expand to local communities involving as many people as possible, especially the youth.

Although this ENERGY-CLIMATE WORLD CHALLENGE project is a Filipino initiative, it is a Global mission that involves every nation and person on earth. This is a movement about change, as individuals, as corporations, as a country, and as a global community. We are all contributors to Global Warming and we all need to be part of the solution. We therefore desire to involve every nation and person on Earth in this vital Project.  Supports and donations from generous countries, organizations, and individuals are all solicited for this project. JOIN US, and be a part of this super-important Global Work!

CLIMATE CHANGE IS NOW IN SITUATION CRITICAL!

We are in Situation Critical, and TIME is a very precious factor. It is NOW time for the direct and immediate actions; innovative and creative actions that target the Root-Causes, not just the Effects, of Climate Change, particularly Global Warming.

This is how the "ENERGY-CLIMATE Challenge" project will face the Energy and Climate crises; targeting the ROOT-CAUSES of these twin crises, not just the effects. We believe that it is ONLY by focusing on the root-causes that these crises can be successfully dealt with.

IF WE DON'T START NOW, THE DELAY ADDS ABOUT $500 BILLION PER YEAR. THIS IS THE COST OF INACTION. -- IEA

EVERY DELAY IS AN ENEMY!

Moving slowly will only add to the eventual cost. "If we don't start now, the delay adds about $500 billion per year. This is the cost of inaction," according to Mr. Nobuo Tanaka, IEA Exec. Director. Mr. Tanaka adds, "There are many co-benefits: cost savings, energy security, lower pollution. A technology revolution is necessary."

The IPCC notes that there are cost-effective solutions, for energy efficiency, but says they must be implemented in short order to stem further damage. "We are 25 years too late. If the object is to avoid dangerous change, we've already had it. The object now is to avoid really dangerous change."

The ENERGY and CLIMATE CHANGE crises are so alarming that we need to awaken ourselves and take corrective measures as early as possible. The ENERGY-CLIMATE Challenge cannot wait, and any delay is an enemy!

To fast-track the solutions to the ENERGY-CLIMATE crises that affect every one of us,  we encourage you to help, share, donate, serve, volunteer, or do anything contributory to the success of this great ENERGY-CLIMATE Challenge, while there is still time!

Your participation, supports and donations will allow this needed project to explore and expand the great challenge that will ultimately rebound as benefits for all of us, and to our children's children. Everybody is requested to donate, be an sponsor, or just give from the heart. Donate today, and be listed as one of the individuals, or one of the corporations/organizations, or one of the nations that changed and saved the world! Let us work together in this fundraising, and help solve mankind's greatest challenge.

The ENERGY-CLIMATE CHALLENGE: HOW SHOULD WE FACE THE CHALLENGE?

The main defect of man's usual approach to all his problems is that he usually focuses his attention to the EFFECTS and SYMPTOMS of the problem. But this "EFFECT" approach cannot solve or mitigate the ENERGY and the CLIMATE CHANGE crises; this will even worsens the crises. The proper and most effective approach is the "CAUSE" approach.

ENERGY-CLIMATE WORLD CHALLENGE INITIATIVE 

LET'S FOCUS ON THE ROOT-CAUSES OF THE PROBLEMS, NOT JUST THE EFFECTS AND SYMPTOMS!

We all live in a world and universe that is strictly governed by the LAW OF CAUSE AND EFFECT. Nothing happens by itself alone; there is always that factor or event that triggers it. And that triggering factor or event may have been triggered by another factor or event down the line, and so on.

To prevent a problematic event from happening, we must stop or prevent all factors/events that may trigger that problematic event. Trying to solve a problematic event by focusing on that problematic event alone, is a very poor approach and just a waste of time, materials, and other resources. As long as we don't eliminate the root-cause or causes of that problematic event, we can never solve or remove the problem. Therefore, the best approach is to focus our solutions directly on the root-causes of the problem.

CLIMATE CHANGE IS IN SITUATION CRITICAL!

We are in Situation Critical, and TIME is a very precious factor. It is NOW time for the direct and immediate actions; innovative and creative actions that target the Root-Causes, not just the Effects, of Climate Change, particularly Global Warming.

This is how the "ENERGY-CLIMATE Challenge" project will face the Energy and Climate crises; targeting the ROOT-CAUSES of these twin crises, not just the effects. We believe that it is ONLY by focusing on the root-causes that these crises can be successfully dealt with.

NEEDED: A Modern Energy-Climate Research and Training Center 

To support this approach we plan to build an advanced Energy-Climate Research and Training Center. As we search and identify the root-causes, corrective and proactive measures will be developed and implemented to eliminate those root-causes. We will develop and implement efficient strategies on Operations Management and Proactive Maintenance. Research and development of new efficient design of energy systems and procedural methods will be conducted to prevent the return of the root-causes.

We will use inspired creativity and innovation to adopt new technologies and innovative management and procedural methods in the efficient use of fossil-fueled machinery and technologies. Research-based training and education will be given to the industrial workforce. A toned-down version of this research-based education will be made available to the general public and the academe. The resulting transformation of people and technologies should elevate their thinking and standard of living, eliminating or alleviating Climate Change crisis, Energy crisis, Economic crisis, etc.

This ENERGY-CLIMATE CHALLENGE is a Global Challenge, and it affects every country and person on earth. We therefore desire to involve every nation and person on Earth in this vital Project.

WE HAVE THE CONFERENCES, AGREEMENTS, AND GENERAL AGENDAS, BUT THE DEVIL LURKS IN THE DETAILS OF CLIMATE CHANGE!

Many people are aware of the truth that the Devil is in the details. Broad agreements and general agendas, no matter how bright and well-intentioned, oftentimes fail because of the lack of the detailed solutions, particularly in the implementation stage.

At the U.N Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen last December 2009, nations discussed, debated, and stated the General knowledge and solutions to the feared Energy-Climate Change. But the ROOT-CAUSES of the ENERGY-CLIMATE CHANGE problems, which are in the details, were not discussed and not given attention. Without getting to the details, which contain the root-causes, the evils of Energy-Climate change remain, and are even bound to increase in ferocity and intensity.

This is where the COLUMNA MESSIANIC RESEARCH, Inc. will delve into — to the details and root-causes of Energy-Climate change. We must delve into the details and specifics of Energy and Climate Solutions, even the small details that eventually make up the great issues of ENERGY-CLIMATE Challenge.

NEEDED: EFFECTIVE AND LOW-COST SOLUTIONS.
REQUIRED: ACTIONS, NOT WORDS AND PROMISES!

We have the REPORTS, the STATISTICS, the CONFERENCES, the DEBATES, the AGREEMENTS, the FINANCIAL Promises, and also the SUFFERINGS and DESTRUCTION of CLIMATE CHANGE. We lack one more thing, the most important thing — the SOLUTION!

Solutions to the ENERGY-CLIMATE crises require radical reexamination and change of traditional management, operation, maintenance, and design of all energy systems. These include both the Power Generation (Supply) side, and the Power consumption (Demand) side of the energy equation.

Drastic reduction of the burning of fossil fuels is required to reduce the release of carbon greenhouse gas, and the particulates (air pollution). Carbon greenhouse gas causes Global Warming and Air Pollution causes Global Dimming. In addition, Nitrous oxide from fertilizers and combustion, methane gas from wastes, and Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs)/refrigerants also cause Global Warming. CFCs also cause the Ozone Layer Depletion.

To really solve the above gigantic problems, there must be a corresponding gigantic change in our human outlook and the way we do things.

NEEDED: CHANGE IN OUTLOOK AND WAY OF DOING THINGS

Contained in the "Summary for Policymakers," the IPCC delivered to policymakers and ordinary people alike a univocal message: scientists are more confident than ever that humans have interfered with the climate and that further human-induced climate change is on the way.

Although the report finds that some of these further changes are now inevitable, its analysis also confirms that the future, particularly in the longer term, remains largely in our hands—the magnitude of expected change depends on what humans choose to do about greenhouse gas emissions.

Thus, the IPCC has declared man-made climate change "unequivocal." Trying to stop it is the hard part.

COLUMNA MESSIANIC ENTERS THE "HARD PART" OF STOPPING THE HUMAN-INDUCED CLIMATE CHANGE!

So all people are becoming very concern, and they are thinking and discussing ideas and solutions to these global problems. But ideas and solutions NOT focused on the root-cause of the problem are destined to failure, and will instead contribute to the worsening of the problems.This is because

"The same kind of thinking that caused these crises in the first place, can never succeed in solving or eliminating the problems!"

So, the COLUMNA MESSIANIC Research, via the ENERGY-CLIMATE Challenge movement was compelled to enter the "HARD PART" of stopping, or at least, to mitigate the man-made Climate Change.

The call for carbon reduction, carbon storage, and carbon capture is easier said than done. The hard part is that all these approaches disturb the very fabric of comfortable existence of each and every nation and person on earth. And with the selfish Human nature, most human efforts are bound to fail. We have to change first our mindsets, attitudes, and business management styles.

There must be a transformation of the human mind. And this transformation is only achievable through a powerful education program.
