The fact that a single person has to make close to $100,000 a year in order to afford living comfortably in the Bay Area is the real disaster.

- We live in the same climate as it was 5 million years ago and the cancer will go away - I have an explanation regarding the cause of the climate change and global warming, it is the travel of the universe to the deep past since May 10, 2010. Each day starting May 10, 2010 takes us 1000 years to the past of the universe. Today May 25, 2024 the state of our universe is the same as it was 5 million and 129 thousand years ago. On october 13, 2026 the state of our universe will be at the point 6 million years in the past. On june 04, 2051 the state of our universe will be at the point 15 million years in the past. On june 28, 2092 the state of our universe will be at the point 30 million years in the past. On april 02, 2147 the state of our universe will be at the point 50 million years in the past. The result is that the universe is heading back to the point where it started and today we live in the same climate as it was 5 million years ago.

This has been actually measured from satellites the whole earth is growing greener as a result of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. So it's increasing agricultural yields, it's increasing the forests, it's increasing all kinds of growth in the biological world and that's more important and more certain than the effects on climate." ~Freeman Dyson, Institute of Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey.

Preparing for sea level rise, Port of San Francisco plans: 2 feet lift by 2050, 7 feet lift by 2100. Those elevations are about twice early IPCC estimates for sea level rise, which indicate a cautious approach. However, IPCC estimates are heavily affected by political influences that have been conservative. If the estimates are inaccurate, and many climate models predict substantially larger rises which are supported by unanticipated changes that continue to be observed, then the effort could be insufficient to address sea level rise. Yes, the effort costs money. Maybe responding with incremental change will prove cost effective. I hope so, though I have grave doubts.

As a transportation system planner I must object to the claim "The only thing we can do is stop burning fossil fuels." The problem isn't how we power our cars, trucks, shipping vessels, air freight, air travel, motorized big boy toys, etc. The problem is how much we routinely travel by car and the unsustainably long distances we transport essential goods and household commodities. The electric vehicle tech that offers most benefits, applications and potential to reduce fuel/energy consumption, emissions AND insane traffic is...wait for it...plug-in hybrid PHEV tech eventually utilizing combustible hydrogen in the ICEngines of PHEV+H drivetrains. PHEV tech is especially applicable to long-haul freight truck and trans-oceanic shipping fleets. PHEV tech is equally applicable to personal cars, vans, trucks, public transit bus fleets. PHEV+H tech can deliver more than twice the equivalent MPG possible in Hydrogen Fuel Cell EVs. All-battery BEV tech is most suitable for lightweight vehicles and short distance needs.
