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.

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. 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! GET INVOLVED NOW!

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.
