The 4 Horsemen of Apocalyptic Climate Change

The amount of heat-trapping pollution the world spewed in 2011 rose by 3%. Glen Peters at the Center for International Climate and Environmental Research in Oslo, Norway, responded that we have only one option left: "to throw everything we have at the problem."

And Andrew Weaver, a climate scientist at the University of Victoria in Canada said: "We are losing control of our ability to get a handle on the global warming problem."

It is past time for President Obama to declare war: “Global War I: The Great War Against the 4 Horsemen,” the first war, not against each other, but for each other — our race against the Horsemen of the Apocalypse to preserve, not democracy this time, but all life as we know it.

We respectfully request that President Obama and Congress acknowledge our planetary crisis and immediately work together to:
1) reposition the U.S. military’s manpower and technological expertise to assist our government and the renewable energy industry build the power grid needed to deliver green power throughout the U.S.
2) encourage green energy development in all ways possible, such as by diverting all fossil fuel industry subsides to the renewable energy industry
3) concurrently initiate a Roosevelt-like Public Works Program to provide new job opportunities for our unemployed in the renewable energy arena
4) pursue all possible greenhouse gas mitigations such as carbon sequestration and solar dimming
5) end oil drilling leases on public land and waters
6) end oil and gas pipeline eminent domain giving the fossil fuel industry the right to cross privately owned land without the owner’s permission and instead give that right to our power grid developers
7) by U.S. example, adjoin all countries of the world, to look beyond the parochial battles over yesterday’s turf and feuds, and assist us in slaying the fossil-fuel dinosaur lurking inside the 4 Trojan Horsemen’s Horses
8) or alternatively, pray for your forgiveness.
