Ozone

So there is a lot of gas in the air.  That's what they say at least.  It's bad for us because we create it. The little alarm clock that wakes you up to go to a job-via a "clean bus", automobile, or the L-Train ----it's all of that and more.  Just watch Al Gores movie and the numbers are EXPONENTIAL.  What does that mean exponential by they way?  Is it just another way to show someone else getting screwed and someone else winning.  This battle of numbers is on the side of nature.  So let's build hybrid cars.... or wait is it hydrogen cars that have better gas mileage?  How about solar plants or clean air coal power, both are equally viable candidates.  There is about the same amount of coal in the Earth to last us the same amount of time the sun blows up - somewhere around 4.5 billion years from now - that's what I remember reading once. 


Let us stop for a second to take a breathe. 


I just read an article on climate change in the science section of the Economist - fourth week of February 2011.  In it, we are pretty much screwed either way.  The one thing as humans we have on our side is that we are very adaptable to change, it might take some time - the less and less as we evolve.  I have to give this idea to my friend Steve who spoke to me today about the grievances of how well humans adapt to outside nature. 

Nature, nurture?  Who gives a rat's ass?  What we need to do is start investing in technology for human kind to survive.  We can adapt well, but one thing we cannot adapt against is our mortality.  Mud slides, earthquakes, continental drift, floods, falling towers - sound familiar?  These things are real, they happen everyday.  We are just fortunate enough that we have a federal reserve to just keep pumping money out to SAVE us.  I live in Chicago, the most boring place for any natural disaster minus your occasional tornado in Plainfield or floods from our moist and river filled land.  Even Chicago has a fault line though...

As our world has become more global we need to start thinking outside of just our Ozone.  We need to start thinking about how to better ourselves and increase the incentives for people to work together by listening to each other.  We need to be prepared for much more than global warming and to start accepting these bad happenings.  Jump start how we will evolve in nature!  So Chris how?  The idea.
