[Oe List ...] Carbon war room

[Herman Greene]

I have just returned from Japan where I gave a talk about climate and
energy. It is attached.

 

I looked at the war room site. I like what they are doing, but the
underlying tone is that we are just going to blow through this and manage it
and get a quick result. The attached paper I prepared for Japan shows that
what we are talking about is a very long effort, well beyond our lifetimes.

Dear Jeannette, 

 

You have blown my mind.  Your OE Christmas letter is the most jarringly
important, timely, relevant, one I have ever received, although I've heard
those facts before.  To get a Dialogue going on these issues--climate change
or no future--is paramount.  As you state at the end of your letter,  " We
can no longer afford to be intimidated by the scope and magnitude of the
climate crisis. It is essential that our most talented and driven
individuals come together to win this war."  Not to, is to say, The Future
is Closed.  

 

Beyond our wonderful 36 solar panels, what do we--Richard and I--do next?
How do we get our two sons and their families engaged? Our church, our
community?  Am I ready, willing, able?  Honestly, no.  

 

Thank you, Jeannette, and don"t let me off the hook with my "No and Yes"
accountability response.  There's more than my family and country at stake.

 

Grace and

Peace?

 

Lucille
