11/13/2019: SAVING GLOBAL-WARMING SOLUTION FROM BEING KILLED

.
*****
NEXT MEETING

PLEASE SCROLL DOWN TO THE NINTH (FIRST UNNUMBERED) SECTION BELOW FOR INFORMATION ABOUT OUR NEXT MEETING.


*****
WHO/WHAT WE ARE

We are a U.S. public-policy monthly discussion group founded in the Fall of 2005 that meets on the third Wednesday of each month (with adjustments to avoid secular/religious holidays).

Since February 2020, we have met via Zoom. [For the first 14.5 years of our existence, we met at the Salt Lake City Library (210 East 400 South) with remote participation via Skype.]

The topic is selected by the attendees of the previous month’s meeting. The focus is usually a book but frequently comprises only news items from magazines/newspapers/etc. This bulletin board serves, inter alia, as a place for members to post comments or additional reference materials prior to each meeting.

Our attendance averages 11-12. Participants come from all walks of life but our regular attendees include 4 attorneys and 3 scientists.

There are approx. 225 recipients of our weekly newsletter, many of whom reside outside Utah and participate by Zoom.

40 SIX-DEGREES-OF-SEPARATION E-MAIL CAMPAIGNS, 4 REPORTS & 9 REPRISES

We take great pride in our Six-Degrees-Of-Separation E-mail campaigns to America's decision makers which, with only a few computer keyboard key strokes, can be sent by each of our members (1) to the decision maker, and (2) to all of the member's friends and acquaintances requesting them to do the same in an unending chain.

Accordingly, we also take great pride that each of our official recommendations has been approved unanimously at one of our meetings or, at most, received only one dissent.

All 40 e-mail campaigns over the years are collected in this section. They include 10 e-mails sent by John Karls that did not receive an official endorsement for the rest of our members to send. The titles of the 30 official recommendations are ALL CAPS and the titles of 10 unofficial recommendations are lower case.

The date of the meeting at which each of the 40 campaigns was adopted is listed so that voluminous additional information about that campaign can be accessed by scrolling down to the sections of this bulletin board that relate to that meeting.

In addition, there are four items whose descriptions begin with “REPORT.” They are reports of our Great Salt Lake Working Group which was formed IAW our “Short-Time Fuse” procedures described in the next section of this bulletin board.

There is also a 1/20/2021 “Report” of our JCPOA Working Group.

Finally, there are eight items whose descriptions begin with “REPRISE.” They describe additional actions that were taken IAW previous official e-mail campaigns to bring their approved policies to the attention of additional decision makers.

To Each of Our 168 Members One-By-One – for reasons explained in the 4 postings in Sec. 2 of http://www.ReadingLiberally-SaltLake.org

Dear Friends,

We take great pride in our Six-Degrees-Of-Separation E-mail campaigns to decision makers which, with only a few computer keyboard key strokes, can be sent by each of our members (1) to the decision maker, and (2) to all of the member's friends and acquaintances requesting them to do the same in an unending chain.

[Indeed, these campaigns are what make us more than an unimportant self-edification group of patriotic policy wonks.]

Accordingly, we also take great pride that each of our recommendations has been approved unanimously at one of our meetings or, at most, received only one dissent.

The following e-mail campaign was approved unanimously at our 11/13/2019 meeting.

The reasons for this campaign are explained in the text of the two following virtually-identical e-mails to two United Nations Officials.

If you would like additional information, it is available at discussingliberally-saltlake.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=561&t=1834&sid=441dc41b1c90aaffd13df4c878ec2a61.

If you agree with the recommended E-mails to the two United Nations Officials that appear below, please:

(1) send the already-prepared e-mails appearing below to each of the two United Nations Officials by cutting-and-pasting them into your regular e-mail program; and

(2) send to all your friends and acquaintances the already-prepared e-mail package that comprises everything below the immediately-following string of asterisks -- so that, through no more than six degrees of separation to 100% of the American population, we reach everyone in a cascading chain.

To: All of your friends and acquaintances

Subject: ONLY 5 MINUTES NEEDED FOR YOU TO PARTICIPATE – “SIX-DEGREES-OF-SEPARATION” E-MAIL CAMPAIGN TO PROTECT POSSIBLE GLOBAL-WARMING SOLUTION (HYDROGEN EXTRACTION) FROM BEING KILLED!!!

Dear Friends,

I have been requested to participate in the referenced "call to action" and request that you participate as well.

It is the 43rd such E-mail Campaign on various topics recommended by a monthly patriotic non-partisan public-policy study group over the last 14 years comprising already-prepared e-mails that can be sent to decision makers on important policy issues.

Such e-mail campaigns require unanimity or, at most, one dissent -- the following e-mails to two United Nations Officials were approved unanimously at the group’s 11/13/2019 meeting.

The group’s attendance averages 11-12 from 168 worldwide recipients of the group’s weekly newsletter (nonresidents can participate by Skype). Participants come from all walks of life but regular attendees include 5 attorneys and 3 scientists. [The meetings over the years on thorium fission, on nuclear fusion, and on Japan’s Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster have been led by a PhD in Nuclear Engineering from the U/Tenn - Oak Ridge National Nuclear-Research Laboratory.] More information about the group is available at http://www.ReadingLiberally-SaltLake.org.

The campaigns are based on the fact that there are NO MORE THAN SIX DEGREES OF SEPARATION between the group and 100% of the American population.

And that, on important occasions, we can send to all of our friends and acquaintances an already-prepared e-mail (1) for them to send to decision maker(s), and (2) for them to send to all of their friends and acquaintances to do the same in an unending chain.


**********
THE REASONS FOR THIS E-MAIL CAMPAIGN

The reasons for this campaign are explained in the text of the two following virtually-identical e-mails to the two United Nations Officials.

**********
YOUR REQUESTED ACTION (5 MINUTES NEEDED TO PARTICIPATE) --

If you agree with the recommended E-mail to the two United Nations Officials that appear below, please:

(1) send the already-prepared e-mails appearing below to each of the two United Nations Officials by cutting-and-pasting them into your regular e-mail program; and

(2) forward to all your friends and acquaintances this entire e-mail -- so that, through no more than six degrees of separation to 100% of the American population, we reach everyone in a cascading chain.

Assistant U.N. Secretary General and Head of the New York Office of UNEP

Dear Sir:

As you are probably aware, burning (oxidizing) hydrogen produces only water (2H2 + O2 > 2H2O).

And you are probably aware that the governments of both Europe and California had constructed by the early 2000’s a network of hydrogen-fueling stations that permitted hydrogen-powered cars to travel vast distances.

And that several manufacturers, such as BMW, sold standard models whose engines had been tweaked to run on hydrogen or, in the case of the BMW models, on either gasoline or hydrogen depending on availability at the moment/locality.

However, the so-called “hydrogen highway” (and using hydrogen to produce all of the rest of the world’s power) have not been practical so far because there has been no economical source for the vast amounts of hydrogen fuel that would be required.

On 8/19/2019, Proton Technologies (a Calgary Alberta-Canada corporation) made a presentation to the Goldschmidt Conference announcing that it had invented (and obtained patents for) a method of obtaining vast amounts hydrogen economically. It involves injecting oxygen into reservoirs of heavy oil and tar sands, and into coal seams in order to separate the hydrogen from the oil/tar/coal thereby enabling the hydrogen to float to the surface through hydrogen filters that will trap behind all remaining material including carbon for sequestration in situ.

[A report of their announcement is available at phys.org/news/2019-08-scientists-hydrogen-gas-oil-bitumen.html.]

The potential problem???

Many oil & gas producers (for example, Saudi Arabia which is the world’s largest oil & gas exporter and which has 70 years of “proved” oil & gas reserves at current production levels) would presumably be tempted to purchase the new technology in order to prevent it from being used.

And no matter how honorable have been the shareholders of Proton Technologies, “everything has its price” as the old saying goes.

Indeed, Leonardo da Vinci’s famous “Last Supper” portrays Christ telling his 12 disciples (11 of whom would become Saints) that one of them would betray him -- and Judas does so for the proverbial “thirty pieces of silver.”

Accordingly, you are respectfully requested to have the United Nations Environmental Program (UNEP) officially petition the U.N. World Intellectual Property Organization to –

(1) seek an amendment to the Patent Cooperation Treaty to treat as void any patent issued to, or acquired by, a malefactor who/that wants to kill this new technology; and

(2) encourage each of the 192 PCT member countries to amend their own country patent laws to treat as void any patent issued to, or acquired by, a malefactor who/that wants to kill this new technology.

Thank you for your consideration.
