Stop Climate Change, Save Humankind

On the Climate Change threat, I've got a great idea for America...let's sit this one out.

After 60 years of leaking blood and treasure to first free, and then protect and feed the civilized world, we can have a rest.

Six billion humans
300 million Americans

Time for everyone else to pitch in and save humankind.

China, who we saved from being a slave state of Imperial Japan, use your stolen microprocessor technology and vast engine of production to manufacture enough photo voltaic panels to replace all of the world's coal fired power plants.

Western Europe, who we liberated from the Nazis and protected from the Soviets, use your keen engineering brilliance and money saved from not having to defend yourself to develop electric vehicles and transports with batteries that are suitable for the continental challenges of North America, Australia and Russo-China and not just for putt-putting around your little medieval storybook countries.

India, who can't control your population growth; you need to use your stable of engineers to develop alternatives to petrochemical fertilizers and pesticides so that we can continue to grow food for six billion on arable land that is only suitable to sustain two billion.

Africa, who we never had a hand in colonizing, but spent billions feeding and medicating, use your uranium reserves to fuel thousands of small coastal reactors that will extract hydrogen from seawater to power an unlimited number of fuel cells.

Russia, who we helped financially to defeat the Nazis, your job is to be the policeman in the middle east after they panic upon discovering that their oil reserves are now worthless.

American environmental activists; since we will stop producing greenhouse gases and stop mining coal, you can take a two decade vacation from filing injunctions and lawsuits and allow us to build high speed rail corridors roughly paralleling our interstate highway system.

South America...........I guess you can just continue to provide diversity in our cuisine and stoop labor for “jobs that Americans just won't do”.

As for the United States, our job will be to use the UN as a bully pulpit to castigate the rest of the world for not doing enough or not doing it fast enough.
