Climate Deadline 2035 tells the story of the intense race we are all in to beat the “point of no return†in the 2030’s. Our own best hope for survival lies not in the hands of scientists or government, or corporations but in the will of the citizens of our planet to mobilize and demand action. <br>

As I write this Hawaii is in a state of emergency as the Kilauea Volcano releases massive stores of toxic gases and lava flows have forced hundreds of evacuations. Changes in Earths tectonic pressures are likely to increase volcanic activity as the Earth continues to warm unnaturally. The cost will be enormous. In the Summer of 2017 alone the US spent over 350 billion dollars coping with climate change - a record we are on track to surpass this year.
And this is nothing. After the mid-2030’s climate disruption will shift from its currently relatively slow, linear progression into exponentially accelerating disasters. “Force 20 Superstorms”, regional floods, wildfires covering millions of acres, enduring drought and crop failures, mass migrations and territorial wars will overwhelm the ability of governments to respond. If this sounds like science fiction feel free to read research articles cited in my book "Climate Deadline 2035" (2018).
We must return our atmosphere to a pre-industrial 280 ppm of CO2 (or at least stay below 350 ppm – the estimated cutoff for safety). Currently we are above 400 ppm and climbing fast. We must immediate get out of our climate shock and implement safe and effective atmospheric carbon removal and solar reflection.
Our team has a plan for beginning this work which can also save the jobs of 800 Navajo workers a the Navajo Generating Station in Page on which the Hopi Tribe depends for over 80% of it's GDP. Our plan, Algae Assisted Carbon Capture + Reflection (AACC+R) appears to have the best chance of success. AACC+R augments the natural process of carbon "drawdown" and storage performed by EHUX algae in the equatorial oceans by feeding them by-products from Carbon Capture technology placed on existing carbon emitting power plants. This can be done, we have the technology, but will we use it in time.

We are depending on intelligent readers like those of Green Living to join with us and confront this difficult task. Like the challenge we faced and overcame in World War II this problem will not go away and anyone can see it is getting worse.
You don't have to vote for me, but you must vote for someone with a plan to address the need for climate repair - and sadly I am you only choice so far. If we do not, it will not matter what our teachers are paid, or if we manage to keep guns out of our schools, or deal fairly with migration issues (which are all issues on our platform to be sure).
We need to have a functioning atmosphere for those things to matter! By the mid-2030's it will be too late to make repairs. It is not too late to change our children's future and avert a life of climate suffering - it is to late to say you have not been warned! Please join us."
