Dear (name/email withheld by request),
.
Thank you for asking after my reasons for standing down from my rants about the environment and closure of the green-metroplex.com information and how-to domain.
.
Simple, really. 1) The interest was just not there (unique hit counts leveled around 1,000 per month which is way to low for attracting paid advertisers.)
While some of the loyal followers' comments were nice to see - the fact is there is and was not a real interest in the environment here in the Metroplex.
2) Green-house gases are now past a tipping point in terms of releases that perpetuate themselves. Doesn't matter whether or not these were (at some point) mostly man caused or not. Now they are self triggering in the form of accelerated permafrost melt in the whole of the Artic Shield; accelerating Hydrate melt at the higher depths in the ocean where they were percipitated eons ago. That's due to the 3.5 degree Fareinhite rise of the last century; reduced white ice/infrared reflectivity as ice ablation progresses in the northern and southern hemispheres, etc. Our country boycotting the Green Accord is moot at this point, in my oppinion. Game over on doing something to turn global warming around. Save the money - rather, buy umbrellas and larger capacity air conditioners for our homes and businesses.
.
Hope that answers you as to why I'm now going back to my old hobby of energy futures investment for some quick cash and using the proceeds for stocking up on survival goods for our family when the economy fully tanks in the next few years. Have you noticed? Gold is now the shelter of choice that multi-million or billionaires are putting their surplus cash into. Gold futures have become hyper inflated as a result. Not capital improvements or infrastructure expansion... Hard, always useful, always valuable, Gold.
