    About this ebook

    A preface pontificates against taking the word of Al Gore and experts on the ultimate cause of the current rise in earth temperature. Chapter 1 starts by supposing CO2 buildup is creating excessive climate warming change. It notes that environmental and geological forces work to draw carbon out of the air. It points out that man can change the earth paradigm to increase prosperity and rid the planet of excess CO2. These include taking CO2 out the air for more energy production. Reversing soil erosion and mineral depletion and pollution by manual effort will help. I note that the sun is heading for a cool down cycle that may counteract the current temperature trend. I note that a build up of temperature in the earth core can explain rising sea levels, rising temperatures, and that we do not know enough to exclude this very reasonable supposition. Chapter 2 is an exhortation to get on with fixing the planet to advance the commonwealth of man, disdaining defeatism, wilderness adoration and things of that sort.

    Edward E. Rochon

    I write for my health and the health of the world. Often the cure rivals the disease in grief and aches. My writing career started at twelve when I attempted to write a sequel to Huckleberry Finn but never finished it. My writings have included poetry, plays, a novel, non-fiction and writing newsletters for here and there. Recently, I am dabbling into short stories. Apart from newsletters, nothing has been published in print. I bought an audio recording of one of my poems but threw it away in disgust due to an inappropriate reading by the narrator. 'Contra Pantheism...' was my first eBook. About a hundred eBooks have been published since including some books of verse, and my essays collected into five volumes, and one volume of collected poems. A few other types of literature are on my list of published works. My essays deal with fundamental questions of philosophy as well as natural philosophy (science.) On the whole, my works are as far above the writings of Plato and Aristotle as the material power of the United States is over that of Ancient Greece. I once asked myself if I had ever written anything memorable, but couldn't remember exactly what I had written. I started to check my manuscripts but stopped as it seemed the answer to the question was obvious. Gore Vidal mentioned in one of his memoirs that writers tend to forget what they write and are a bad source to ask about their works. Gore knew a lot of writers. I have not and may have been a bit hard on myself. Apart from self-improvement and maybe making a few bucks, my main goal is to bring about a golden age for mankind. Being a man, this sounds appealing. It is pointless to desist and all small measures are worth the effort. Albert Camus thought suicide the only serious philosophical question. He was a fool and died young. Suicide is a waste of time. The most important functional question is: How do I get what I want? The one question that trumps this is the ultimate question of intent: What should I want? As Goethe pointed out: Be careful what you wish for in your youth, you might get it in middle age.
