Prevention pays....Crisis Mismanagement costs

Prevention pays.  Crisis mismanagement costs.

So why are governments panicking after catastrophic climate events in crisis mismanagement mode?

Why aren't the private and public sectors saying....."Perhaps we can prevent these terminal catastrophes by reducing our carbon emissions...."

Waming is causing permafrost to melt releasing methane causing even faster warming

Warming of Arctic causes permafrost to melt.   The Arctic is warming much faster than rest of earth (4 degrees F), meaning that permafrost is also melting rapidly, releasing methane CH4 that is 25 to 100 times more powerful as a greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide CO2.  Our computer models are based on CO2 and even slight changes in angles of a molecule can cause radical changes in behavior.......Perhaps this is why catastrophic rates and intensities of unprecedented storms around the globe have alarmed scientists who had used CO2 models to predict changes.

Economy and Ecology Linked Intimately

The word root, "eco-" as in "eco+nomic" and in "eco+logic" means "house" or "oikos" in Greek....but not every house nurtures those within.   Some houses hurt and destroy those within.

Humans need nature's hidden genetic potentials to produce the critical flows such as breathable oxygen and drinkable water to keep humans alive day to day and minute to minute.

But some just don't get it.  Some assume that the privatized, immediate, obvious concrete urbanized walls and barriers are fact.

Kansas Dust Storm of 2004 Mimics Dust Storm of 1935


America is ripping America's topsoil and vegetation apart as we value cash more than the critical natural resources that protect our land and life.

Our leaders in both public and private sectors need to act immediately to change the poor land use patterns and carbon emissions that have caused these unnecessary storms and global climate change.

These images indicate that the dust storm of 2004 in Kansas mimicked one of the dust storms of 1935.   An economy can't breathe if the people or land can't breathe or function.

Chinese Dust Cloud Circled Earth

A Chinese dust storm caused by desertification circled earth in 2007:

The Dust Bowl is Back:

Human scientific method often limits its bounds to the private, immediate, obvious history....without anticipating the limitless realms of possibilities

Human cash systems ironically count the most critical flows for humans the least.....and the least critcial the most.

And human cash systems often drive the human scientific system because scientists need to eat.

But ironically, human cash systems count the most critical flows for humans the least, the critical flows such as air, water, food to keep humans alive day to day and minute to minute.

Ironically, human cash counts the most critical and hidden flow the least, breathable oxygen as O2......even though humans die within minutes without O2.

Ironically, human cash counts the next most critical and hidden flow for humans the next least, water as H2O...even though humans die within days without H2O.

Ironically, human cash counts the next most critical and hidden flow for humans the next least, rich, organic topsoil that grows food for humans.....even though humans die within months without food.

Ironically, human cash counts the least critcial the most, the most deadly the most....bloody diamonds and gold, dirty energy, coal, nuclear risks, oil and gas, oil wars, dirty methane as CH4 that heats our air 25 to 100 times more powerfully than CO2 that has already melted our Arctic for the first time in human history causing climate bombs to be released by permafrost as methane wasted....and propaganda to sell the unacceptable as acceptable of, by, for privatized cashflow floods that kill.

Do humans count human cash more than life?
