GreenPolicy360: In a fortuitous way, we were 'in on the Mission'... We were in contact with and assisted the NASA DSCOVR project manager in the online distribution of news and educational information about the EPIC DSCOVR history, launch, and beginning of its imaging 'from a million miles away'. Our GreenPolicy360 founder-siterunner looked back at the origins of Earth Science mission of NASA and legislators, scientists, and 'planet citizens' who first envisioned the importance of having data, and a record of 'change over time' of Earth's systems that could be monitored from near orbit in alignment with the original NASA Mission Statement.
 
The history of these pioneers is a key to understanding, today, over 50 years on, how we went into space with an eye to understanding our home planet.

Instead, a huge demonstration on Oct. 15, 1969, the Moratorium to End the War in Vietnam, combined a general strike with nationwide protests and teach-ins.
 
About 2 million people came out to protest across the country, even “little towns that had never protested before,” Ellsberg recalled.
 
 
'''“Without the Moratorium, there would have been an escalation, possibly the use of nuclear weapons in November 1969.” '''

'''''UK Green Party MP Caroline Lucas who introduced the first Green New Deal Bill to parliament and is a founding member of the Green New Deal alliance''''', ''says that global policymakers must seize the opportunity to chart a new course.''
 
''"Pledges and targets will not avert catastrophic climate change—ambitious action will, but it's been perilously absent. The world is running out of time and out of excuses," she said in a statement ahead of the alliance's launch.''
 
''"A Green New Deal wouldn't only avert the worst of the climate and nature crises. It would make everyday life better for the vast majority of people wherever they live in the world."''
 
''"This is our moonshot moment, but this time it's about making a better life here on Earth and the only way we can do that is by working together as never before."''

''“I sought this office to restore the soul of America,” said Biden in a prime-time victory speech not far from his Delaware home, “and to make America respected around the world again and to unite us here at home.”''
 
''His victory came after more than three days of uncertainty as election officials sorted through a surge of mail-in votes that delayed processing. Biden crossed the winning threshold of 270 Electoral College votes with a win in Pennsylvania.''

When it comes to these new oil and gas fields, production from the US is set to eclipse the rest of the world.
 
Canada and the US alone are set to produce almost 70% of the world’s new oil and gas over the next decade.
 
Production from new fields in the US is set to be eight times that of the next largest producing country – Canada.
 
New US production is forecast to be 20 times that of Russia and more than 1.5 times the total of all other countries combined.

While NASA has released other Blue Marble images over the years, these have mostly been mosaics stitched together with image processing software — not a single view of Earth taken at one moment in time.
 
Neil deGrasse Tyson: "We see our world as only a cosmic perspective can provide: Blue Oceans — Dry Land — White Clouds — Polar Ice. A Sun-lit planet, teeming with life, framed in darkness... Occasions such as this offer renewed confidence that we may ultimately become responsible shepherds of our own fate, and the fate of that fragile home we call Earth."

We greatly appreciate the newest from Astronaut Ron Garan as his interactive project [http://www.greenpolicy360.net/w/Orbital_Perspective '''"Orbital Perspective"'''] is published this week. Some 45 years ago, near the end of December 1968 and beginning of an auspicious 1969, we began seeing the Apollo 8 mission's first-ever images of our "whole earth". It's not overstating to say - these images from above changed everything. These pictures from space looking back at Earth, taken as Apollo circled around the moon, carried realizations with the images -- that together we are [http://www.planetcitizen.org planet citizens].
 
[[File:Apollo Earth 350x350.jpg]] 
 
We welcomed a perspective that no human had ever had.
 
January 1969 was an eye-opener as the images of Earth were broadcast. We celebrated the images and our place in the cosmos even as we, the planet and our populations, were in the midst of violent war and troubled times.
 
Today, the famous [http://www.greenpolicy360.net/mw/images/Earthrise_EL-2001-00365h_NASA_Apollo_8_1968.jpg '''Earthrise'''] photo rekindles our memory, and the serendipity of how the Apollo 8 crew was lucky that day as, looking out their window, the Earth suddenly came into view. There was no "mission plan" to take Earth photos and the astronauts scrambled to get to a camera, put in film and shoot a few frames. They were in awe, they said, and fortune was in play that day. There we were, us, Earth. In the Earthrise images our space traveling planet citizens captured  a realization of our wholeness, connectedness, and our shared future as together we spin thru space.
 
Later, the Apollo 17 mission, as the program was coming to its end, brought home the "Blue Marble" photograph, the [http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2011/04/the-blue-marble-shot-our-first-complete-photograph-of-earth/237167/ '''first complete 360° image of our planet'''], a [http://grin.hq.nasa.gov/IMAGES/LARGE/GPN-2000-001138.jpg '''high-res Earth'''] described as the [http://www.greenpolicy360.net/w/File:Blue_Marble_photo_-_Apollo_17.jpg '''most reproduced photo in history''']. It is the first photograph taken of the whole round Earth and still is only one of the whole earth ever snapped by a human being. Of the two living astronauts, Cernan and Schmitt, who believe they were the photographer who took the photo, here is how one describes his view.... Whichever astronaut of the three aboard Apollo 17 who snapped the picture, what is most memorable is Earth360:
 
''"You have to literally just pinch yourself and ask yourself the question, silently: Do you know where you are at this point in time and space, and in reality and in existence, when you can look out the window and you're looking at the most beautiful star in the heavens -- the most beautiful because it's the one we understand and we know, it's home, it's people, family, love, life -- and besides that it is beautiful. You can see from pole to pole and across oceans and continents and you can watch it turn and there's no strings holding it up, and it's moving in a blackness that is almost beyond conception."''
 
 
[[File:Blue Marble photo - Apollo 17.jpg]]
 
 
The sense of awe, an Earth point of view, has continued to be communicated by astronauts since and has continued to be shared, more recently with high tech ways to see and experience our Earth as planetary citizens as we see from [http://www.greenpolicy360.net/mw/images/From_AstroTerry_January2015.png '''the International Space Station''']. The term [http://www.greenpolicy360.net/w/Overview_Effect '''"Overview Effect"'''] begins to share the experience.
 
We welcome Ron Garan's words, images and interactive ways to help us appreciate the beauty of our [http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Blue_Marble '''"Blue Marble planet"'''], our home and how we can collaborate to make a difference, to make the world a better place.
 
 
Here are just  a few of Ron's thoughts -- for more on what he's doing to bring the Overview/Orbital message to the world's population visit his online sites. To have empathy with his experience is a way to begin a planet citizen [http://www.greenpolicy360.net/w/Orbital_Perspective '''"Orbital Perspective."''']
 
'''''Astronaut Ron Garan:''''' ''"Up there, hovering above Earth with my orbital perspective, I came to believe that the problem lies primarily in our inability to collaborate effectively on a global scale. There are millions of organizations around the world working to improve life on Earth, but for the most part these organizations are not engaged in a unified, coordinated effort...''
 
''"We already possess all the technology we need to enable truly consistent, world-changing global collaboration. Our real challenge lies in demonstrating how vital and valuable such collaboration is, despite the real and perceived risks. Open collaborations make solutions more effective and efficient through the pooling of resources and information. Working together multiplies cost-effectiveness… It is the only real way to enable economies of scale that can scale innovative solutions. Open collaboration encourages greater accountability, which in turn fosters trust. We are all in this together, so we should share common goals, and the only way we are going to overcome the challenges facing our world is by working together.''
 
''"You don’t need to be an astronaut to have the orbital perspective...''
 
''"When we look down at the earth from space, we see this amazing, indescribably beautiful planet. It looks like a living, breathing organism. But it also, at the same time, looks extremely fragile... Anybody else who's ever gone to space says the same thing because it really is striking and it's really sobering to see this paper-thin layer and to realize that that little paper-thin layer is all that protects every living thing on Earth from death, basically. From the harshness of space.''
 
'''''Earth From Space'''''
 
''"The Goal is to bring people along on our space missions not as spectators but as fellow crew mates -- http://www.rongaran.com/gallery/''
 
''"It is truly moving to look at Earth from space. And when we do – we also have the privilege of sharing this orbital perspective with people back on our planet. We are all riding through the universe together on this spaceship we call Earth, we are all interconnected, we are all in this together. We are all family."''

''Some years ago, your GreenPolicy Siterunner, Steve Schmidt, had the opportunity to serve as an advisor to Jerry's presidential campaign and the Governor and I worked closely on the campaign's 'We the People' platform. Political reform across a breadth of issues was on our agenda. The preparation of briefing books for the debates was a challenge, as we argued watering down of environmental and work protection laws was flawed policy. Up until the 90's the US had set green and labor standards which were being set aside by both parties in the 90s. We argued for a better approach, and for money out of politics, and univ health care, and we came close to winning the nomination which eventually went to the next president, Bill Clinton. The many green ideas we brought forward continued on in the Green Platform which your siterunner was the key drafter and Jerry and his ideas and agenda carried on in California. To this day, Governor Brown is out in front with [http://www.latimes.com/local/political/la-me-pc-jerry-brown-fourth-inauguration-california-20150105-story.html model initiatives] for change.

''“In this globalised world,” Pope Francis, “we have fallen into globalised indifference.”
 
From Media Reports: ''Next year, he will intervene again in the secular world. Today, the Observer reports his intention to write a letter to the world’s 1.2 billion Catholics, give an address to the UN General Assembly and call for a summit of the world’s main religions. He will also issue a rare papal encyclical in March on climate change and human ecology, all part of an attempt strongly to influence the UN climate change meeting in Paris in 2015 to achieve a universal commitment to reduce carbon emissions. “Eco-theology” alarms creationists and divides the Catholic church. Opponents, including some in the Vatican, condemn it as “un-biblical”. Pope Francis sees economic inequality and the plundering of the Earth’s resources as part of a theme. He has said: “In this system, which tends to devour everything which sta''nds in the way of accrued profits, whatever is fragile like the environment is defenceless against the interest of a deified market, which becomes the only rule.”''

GreenPolicy360 steps up as Planet Citizens to aid the NASA/NOAA team deliver DSCOVR/EPIC data and imagery


GreenPolicy360: In a fortuitous way, we were 'in on the Mission'... We were in contact with and assisted the NASA DSCOVR project manager in the online distribution of news and educational information about the EPIC DSCOVR history, launch, and beginning of its imaging 'from a million miles away'. Our GreenPolicy360 founder-siterunner looked back at the origins of Earth Science mission of NASA and legislators, scientists, and 'planet citizens' who first envisioned the importance of having data, and a record of 'change over time' of Earth's systems that could be monitored from near orbit in alignment with the original NASA Mission Statement.

The history of these pioneers is a key to understanding, today, over 50 years on, how we went into space with an eye to understanding our home planet.

1969 - “Nuclear targets were picked.” ... the plans would have gone ahead in November 1969.

Instead, a huge demonstration on Oct. 15, 1969, the Moratorium to End the War in Vietnam, combined a general strike with nationwide protests and teach-ins.

About 2 million people came out to protest across the country, even “little towns that had never protested before,” Ellsberg recalled.


“Without the Moratorium, there would have been an escalation, possibly the use of nuclear weapons in November 1969.”

The Vietnam Moratorium mobilization of October-November 1969 revealed to have stopped Nixon from using nuclear weapons

UK Green Party MP Caroline Lucas who introduced the first Green New Deal Bill to parliament and is a founding member of the Green New Deal alliance, says that global policymakers must seize the opportunity to chart a new course.

"Pledges and targets will not avert catastrophic climate change—ambitious action will, but it's been perilously absent. The world is running out of time and out of excuses," she said in a statement ahead of the alliance's launch.

"A Green New Deal wouldn't only avert the worst of the climate and nature crises. It would make everyday life better for the vast majority of people wherever they live in the world."

"This is our moonshot moment, but this time it's about making a better life here on Earth and the only way we can do that is by working together as never before."

In first address as President-elect, U.S. President-elect Joe Biden says it’s ‘time to heal’

WASHINGTON (AP) — November 7, 2020 / Democrat Joe Biden defeated President Donald Trump to become the 46th president of the United States, positioning himself to be a leader who “seeks not to divide, but to unify” a nation gripped by a historic pandemic and a confluence of economic and social turmoil.

“I sought this office to restore the soul of America,” said Biden in a prime-time victory speech not far from his Delaware home, “and to make America respected around the world again and to unite us here at home.”

His victory came after more than three days of uncertainty as election officials sorted through a surge of mail-in votes that delayed processing. Biden crossed the winning threshold of 270 Electoral College votes with a win in Pennsylvania.

Trump refused to concede, threatening further legal action on ballot counting.

Bank of the Ozarks, the OZK 'Miami formula' (via Miami Herald):

"You’re in a market where — look, 900 people a day are moving to Florida and about 45% are coming to the Miami MSA..."

"So you’ve got 400 people a day moving into the market...They’re leaving New York and Connecticut, some for tax reasons, others for the lifestyle, or cost of living."

"We’re in a rising tide market where everything looks good..."

OZK’s CEO/Chairman George Gleason says it’s a simple formula.

"We’re selling a value equation. It’s not dependent on us taking a credit risk or offering low price. We get paid well for what we do."

US Gas-Oil Production Dominates


When it comes to these new oil and gas fields, production from the US is set to eclipse the rest of the world.

Canada and the US alone are set to produce almost 70% of the world’s new oil and gas over the next decade.

Production from new fields in the US is set to be eight times that of the next largest producing country – Canada.

New US production is forecast to be 20 times that of Russia and more than 1.5 times the total of all other countries combined.

Jeff Bezos Says We're Destroying Earth, but Amazon Is the Slowest Tech Giant to Go Green

Bezos: We humans have to go to space if we are going to continue to have a thriving civilization. We have become big as a population, as a species, and this planet is relatively small. We see it in things like climate change and pollution and heavy industry. We are in the process of destroying this planet.

Earth Mapping Developments & Updates


A salute to California "planet citizens", Rebecca Moore of Google Earth / Earth Outreach, and in memory of George E. Brown from East LA who was instrumental in advancing legislation that launched "big science" initiatives like GPS/GIS and LANDSAT to shape the first-generation of #EarthScience from space. Today, California is a leader in "New Space", even as "Governor Moonbeam" remembers how pundits once laughed, but no longer. The impact of visionary thinkers and leaders continues to make California a very special state -- and now the fifth largest economy in the world.

Leonardo DiCaprio speaks to protecting life on the planet

Japan, March 23, 2016

DiCaprio: "Climate change is real, it is happening right now. It is the most urgent threat facing our entire species, and we need to work collectively together and stop procrastinating. We need to support leaders around the world who do not speak for the big polluters, but who speak for all of humanity, for the indigenous people of the world, for the billions and billions of underprivileged people out there who would be most affected by this. For our children’s children, and for those people out there whose voices have been drowned out by the politics of greed."

In Paris

Spotlight on Dispatches from Rebecca Solnit: Climate change means that there is no status quo. Either we make dramatic changes in our greenhouse gas emissions or we accept dire changes in the impact on oceans, sea level, weather, agriculture, geopolitics, species extinction, economics, and human and nonhuman life generally...

The climate conference is tens of thousands of people from civil society, government, and industry gathered in what I’ve come to think of as the End-of-the-World’s Fair, a vast, secured suburban cluster of convention buildings with exhibits, displays, meeting rooms, conferences, and cafes. The meetings are essentially editorial meetings; the editors are the 195 nations’ negotiating teams. The text is a document proposing how we manage the fate of the world. There are line-by-line fights, battles over the terms, which result in terms being placed in brackets and in brackets inside brackets.

Of course every sentence translates into what we will and won’t do, how we will do it, and how we will live (or die).

First Earth Images from DSCOVR-EPIC

After journey of about 1.6 million kilometers (1 million miles) to the L1 Lagrange Point, the DSCOVR satellite has returned its first view of the entire sunlit side of Earth, the first 'whole Earth' images since Apollo in 1972 when astronauts captured the iconic Blue Marble photograph. While NASA has released other Blue Marble images over the years, these have mostly been mosaics stitched together with image processing software — not a single view of Earth taken at one moment in time.

Neil deGrasse Tyson: "We see our world as only a cosmic perspective can provide: Blue Oceans — Dry Land — White Clouds — Polar Ice. A Sun-lit planet, teeming with life, framed in darkness... Occasions such as this offer renewed confidence that we may ultimately become responsible shepherds of our own fate, and the fate of that fragile home we call Earth."

As the five year Nonproliferation Treaty Review Conference draws to a close, we must raise serious questions in an escalating nuclear future

The nuclear threat environment is recharging to produce a new era. A multiple nation realignment and force modernization are producing elements of a new Cold War. Entangling alliances are developing. Next-generation nuclear weapons — ‘smarter’, more deliverable, and usable — are in development

A new era of ‘smart’ nuclear weapons and nuclear weapons modernization policies are carried-forward within a framework of “instant alert” and “fire on-warning” carry-over command-and-control protocols of the Cold War. The mix of billions in planned new nuclear spending and multiple delivery systems will produce a new and potentially more deadly nuclear order

GreenPolicy360 highlights Ron Garan

We greatly appreciate the newest from Astronaut Ron Garan as his interactive project "Orbital Perspective" is published this week. Some 45 years ago, near the end of December 1968 and beginning of an auspicious 1969, we began seeing the Apollo 8 mission's first-ever images of our "whole earth". It's not overstating to say - these images from above changed everything. These pictures from space looking back at Earth, taken as Apollo circled around the moon, carried realizations with the images -- that together we are planet citizens.

Apollo Earth 350x350.jpg

We welcomed a perspective that no human had ever had.

January 1969 was an eye-opener as the images of Earth were broadcast. We celebrated the images and our place in the cosmos even as we, the planet and our populations, were in the midst of violent war and troubled times.

Today, the famous Earthrise photo rekindles our memory, and the serendipity of how the Apollo 8 crew was lucky that day as, looking out their window, the Earth suddenly came into view. There was no "mission plan" to take Earth photos and the astronauts scrambled to get to a camera, put in film and shoot a few frames. They were in awe, they said, and fortune was in play that day. There we were, us, Earth. In the Earthrise images our space traveling planet citizens captured a realization of our wholeness, connectedness, and our shared future as together we spin thru space.

Later, the Apollo 17 mission, as the program was coming to its end, brought home the "Blue Marble" photograph, the first complete 360° image of our planet, a high-res Earth described as the most reproduced photo in history. It is the first photograph taken of the whole round Earth and still is only one of the whole earth ever snapped by a human being. Of the two living astronauts, Cernan and Schmitt, who believe they were the photographer who took the photo, here is how one describes his view.... Whichever astronaut of the three aboard Apollo 17 who snapped the picture, what is most memorable is Earth360:

"You have to literally just pinch yourself and ask yourself the question, silently: Do you know where you are at this point in time and space, and in reality and in existence, when you can look out the window and you're looking at the most beautiful star in the heavens -- the most beautiful because it's the one we understand and we know, it's home, it's people, family, love, life -- and besides that it is beautiful. You can see from pole to pole and across oceans and continents and you can watch it turn and there's no strings holding it up, and it's moving in a blackness that is almost beyond conception."


Blue Marble photo - Apollo 17.jpg


The sense of awe, an Earth point of view, has continued to be communicated by astronauts since and has continued to be shared, more recently with high tech ways to see and experience our Earth as planetary citizens as we see from the International Space Station. The term "Overview Effect" begins to share the experience.

We welcome Ron Garan's words, images and interactive ways to help us appreciate the beauty of our "Blue Marble planet", our home and how we can collaborate to make a difference, to make the world a better place.


Here are just a few of Ron's thoughts -- for more on what he's doing to bring the Overview/Orbital message to the world's population visit his online sites. To have empathy with his experience is a way to begin a planet citizen "Orbital Perspective."

Astronaut Ron Garan: "Up there, hovering above Earth with my orbital perspective, I came to believe that the problem lies primarily in our inability to collaborate effectively on a global scale. There are millions of organizations around the world working to improve life on Earth, but for the most part these organizations are not engaged in a unified, coordinated effort...

"We already possess all the technology we need to enable truly consistent, world-changing global collaboration. Our real challenge lies in demonstrating how vital and valuable such collaboration is, despite the real and perceived risks. Open collaborations make solutions more effective and efficient through the pooling of resources and information. Working together multiplies cost-effectiveness… It is the only real way to enable economies of scale that can scale innovative solutions. Open collaboration encourages greater accountability, which in turn fosters trust. We are all in this together, so we should share common goals, and the only way we are going to overcome the challenges facing our world is by working together.

"You don’t need to be an astronaut to have the orbital perspective...

"When we look down at the earth from space, we see this amazing, indescribably beautiful planet. It looks like a living, breathing organism. But it also, at the same time, looks extremely fragile... Anybody else who's ever gone to space says the same thing because it really is striking and it's really sobering to see this paper-thin layer and to realize that that little paper-thin layer is all that protects every living thing on Earth from death, basically. From the harshness of space.

Earth From Space

"The Goal is to bring people along on our space missions not as spectators but as fellow crew mates -- http://www.rongaran.com/gallery/

"It is truly moving to look at Earth from space. And when we do – we also have the privilege of sharing this orbital perspective with people back on our planet. We are all riding through the universe together on this spaceship we call Earth, we are all interconnected, we are all in this together. We are all family."

GreenPolicy360 highlights Governor Jerry Brown

Perhaps it's fitting to move from a Jesuit pope to a former Jesuit seminarian...

This week we highlight Governor Edmund G. 'Jerry' Brown.

Jerry Brown inauguration4.png

Some years ago, your GreenPolicy Siterunner, Steve Schmidt, had the opportunity to serve as an advisor to Jerry's presidential campaign and the Governor and I worked closely on the campaign's 'We the People' platform. Political reform across a breadth of issues was on our agenda. The preparation of briefing books for the debates was a challenge, as we argued watering down of environmental and work protection laws was flawed policy. Up until the 90's the US had set green and labor standards which were being set aside by both parties in the 90s. We argued for a better approach, and for money out of politics, and univ health care, and we came close to winning the nomination which eventually went to the next president, Bill Clinton. The many green ideas we brought forward continued on in the Green Platform which your siterunner was the key drafter and Jerry and his ideas and agenda carried on in California. To this day, Governor Brown is out in front with model initiatives for change. Decades now, day-to-day, Jerry has been hard at work to make a difference and create, with vision, a better world.

Here's a nod of our green hat to Jerry Brown -- a principled visionary, making it happen.

Today the press reports -- California leads the nation and Jerry Brown's point of view? “What happens here doesn’t stay here. It goes all around the country and all around the world.”

The 'greening' results are showing... Transportation -- Energy -- Climate Change -- Pacific Coast Climate Plan, A Model for a Regional Approach to Climate Change -- and Arnold who added some Muscle.

GreenPolicy360 highlights Pope Francis

Catholic pontiff speaks of the environment

Time to take another look at the new Catholic leadership

“In this globalised world,” Pope Francis, “we have fallen into globalised indifference.”

From Media Reports: Next year, he will intervene again in the secular world. Today, the Observer reports his intention to write a letter to the world’s 1.2 billion Catholics, give an address to the UN General Assembly and call for a summit of the world’s main religions. He will also issue a rare papal encyclical in March on climate change and human ecology, all part of an attempt strongly to influence the UN climate change meeting in Paris in 2015 to achieve a universal commitment to reduce carbon emissions. “Eco-theology” alarms creationists and divides the Catholic church. Opponents, including some in the Vatican, condemn it as “un-biblical”. Pope Francis sees economic inequality and the plundering of the Earth’s resources as part of a theme. He has said: “In this system, which tends to devour everything which stands in the way of accrued profits, whatever is fragile like the environment is defenceless against the interest of a deified market, which becomes the only rule.”

To a different kind of pope, Francis, a spiritual voice for 1.2 billion Catholics, calling for peace during the traditional Christmas Day speech, Urbi et Orbi

Thoughts of a leader taking a church in new directions.

GreenPolicy360 highlights George Brown Jr.


George.jpg


Remembering the 'start-up' of the environmental movement and the first laws, a set of founding legal precedents many of which came from forward-looking green visionaries from California, like George E. Brown who passed away suddenly in 1999.

George's work in Congress in air quality/clean air, water and the founding of the EPA highlighted the era's achievement... George was out in front in "big science" -- his profound accomplishments are esp missed now as anti-science positions threaten in the current Congress...

GreenPolicy360 highlights the Carbon Brief

Carbon Brief - FB - TW

They asked 25 thinkers, writers and journalists a simple question:

What books or readings inspired you to get involved in climate-related work?

They got back some very interesting insights into why people work on climate,

why they started, and why they carry on. Warming Earth
