  Throughout history, agricultural success raised up countries and empires. Its failures led to ruin and death in dramas with antagonists such as floods, droughts, insects, blights, and the worst—depleted eroded soils. But, there's more. Climate scientists gave us a new set of worries about something they call climate change:

--Hotter summers

--More droughts

--Megafires in the forests

--Rising sea

--Crop failures

--And resulting hunger

All of that is predicted to come from increased levels of the trace gas in our exhalations and our car exhausts, carbon dioxide.

Those fears led to a proposal in 2019 for the “Green New Deal” or “GND” to choke off most carbon dioxide emissions by 2030. Unfortunately, the GND had some wild details: replacing meat with vegetarian food, replacing most airlines with electrified trains, and rebuilding every building in

America to be more energy efficient. Those things would be fabulously expensive, maybe around ninety trillion (with a T) dollars.

Still, it was good to have an overall response to the perceived threat. That led this author to develop an alternate set of proposals in 2020: Saving the World Before Breakfast: A Better Green New Deal.

That book proposed three major strategies of be􀆩er agriculture, be􀆩er energy production, and taking both energy and agriculture out to sea.

Along the way it became clear that agriculture alone can save us even before the other two strategies. That is so because many improvements for farmers, ranchers, and vintners only need slightly more

advanced technologies to put less global-warming carbon dioxide into the sky while still producing more food.

More importantly, there are hundreds of millions of agricultural entrepreneurs on the land who are always trying new things to increase yields and cut costs. When they succeed, life is good. When they fail, the friendly local banker … is no longer their friend.

This book supplies some of the most likely ways to keep increasing yields, cutting costs, and staving off that threatened climate change. If people on the land can succeed with those improvements, they can keep life good for themselves and everybody.

 Many have warned about eminent doom from global warming: Heat waves, droughts, stronger storms, and rising sea level. All those things might lead to famine and plague. Those desperate concerns led to a proposal called the Green New Deal. This Green New Deal is a desperate venture. Yet, at the same time, it is wildly optimistic. It would use a ten-year national mobilization to rebuild every structure in America, replace all fossil fuels with solar and wind, replace our meats with vegetarian food, and do all these things with government efficiency-- just like the Post Office. Can we think of something better … more practical? YES, we can! This treatise provides three major development themes for A Better Green New Deal: 1. Advanced agriculture and agriculture that regenerates soils; 2. Next-generation, more efficient, nuclear fission reactors; and 3. Extending agriculture and industry out to sea. These are new technologies, just as steam engines, farm tractors, cell phones, and airplanes were all new technologies. The secret is doing it for fun and profit. With that, one can save the world … before breakfast.

        Invention is getting an idea and making it work … once.
But, invention is just the start. Innovation is doing the larger
long-term work of making that invention work reliably and
repeatedly—then succeeding at the harder task of convincing
people to use it. We need both invention and innovation.
         This book contains 100+ Daily Wisdom Themes to help 

you build your entrepreneurial visions, invent and innovate to achieve 

your goals-and save the world while you're at it!

Forest Fires Are Raging. Increasingly large and

dangerous megafires are burning in the world's forests,

and climate change (warming) is expected to make fires

worse. Is this the inevitable future? Only if we choose it to

be so.

This audio summarizes ways that firebreaks, better forest

management, mushrooms, mini-livestock, and biochar can

save the forests, fight global warming, and produce huge

amounts of food.

This audio is an excerpt from Saving the World Before

Breakfast: The Earth Alone Can Save Us.

It is read by the author, Roger Carlson.

This guided meditation is about a distant land

and often distant times. Yet, it is about your

journey for opening your mind to new

possibilities, for making a spirit quest,

or just relaxation.
