GreenPolicy360 & Strategic Demands: Strategic Focus on #EnvironmentalSecurity
New Definitions of National Security are necessary to meet the Challenges of our Era
Steve Schmidt / GreenPolicy360:
When climate change came 'on the radar'
GreenPolicy360 journeys across 50+ years of the modern environmental movement
This story is now 50 years plus old and at GreenPolicy360 we have been attempting to bring to light many of the salient, and key moments of the history and crucial-to-know events that have led to today's activism dealing with climate change. The origins of earth science, atmospheric science, the environmental protection movement, the technology to measure and monitor earth system and dynamic change have brought us to today.
Thank you for visiting us and please feel free to click through our content and links. We are an open-source MediaWiki platform after all and our originating model was to share 'green best practices' worldwide. Climate change and climate policy, realization of the problems bring us to climate action.
Environmental protection with green activism/politics/education is a story that has gone on over decades, from the 1960s on. With GreenPolicy360 we look back to joining in ... involved directlyn with the first Earth Day (via Senator Gaylord Nelson and Representative George Brown in the envisiong, planning and organizing) and with Earth System Science initiatives, especially to collect data through new NASA and NOAA programs, to identify the extent of climate change.
A First Earth Day
- Being there with George's assist, organizing
- Youth-energy eco 'Teach-ins' and events across the nation
We are, as we say, 'planet citizens, planet scientists'. We look to sound science to guide climate policy solutions
Climate Problems, Climate Solutions
It was time to step up, go to work and do our best to make a positive difference. Earth is, as we say, in human hands.
Here are a number of pages and sites to explore as you 'get with the action':
Start with "Earthrise", and the beginnings of the Modern Environmental Movement, and the first "Earth Day"...

- GreenPolicy360 Siterunner: Our friend George steps up in the U.S. Congress
The First National Climate Act, Historic Work
GreenPolicy360 Siterunner / SJ Schmidt: The beginnings of modern environmental and climate science can be traced to the 1960s and 1970s. The U.S. National Academy of Sciences played a key role in laying a foundation of scientific reports and data.
Energy and Climate Report, 1977, National Academy of Sciences / 175 pp. / PDF via GreenPolicy360
Rep. George Brown took the findings of the 1977 Energy and Climate Report from the Academy of Sciences and made the science actionable. In a historic moment, he proposed and drafted the legislation of the first U.S. National Climate Program and shepherded its passage in 1978.
This first federal program established to study and assess scientifically the issues and risks of human-caused climate change became a foundation for comprehensive initiatives, with an array of new Earth Science missions led by NASA and NOAA, the EPA and USGS.

It's no ride in the park looking back at some 50+ years of environmental protection work. The obstacles were many, the climate change denial purposeful, and the dis- and mis-information pervasive. Those of us who were developing the field of climate science were, although we didn't describe it as such, creating a story arc of the climate change movement. The genesis of climate science was becoming a key 'atmospheric science' question to Congressman George E. Brown in the 1960s and I was, as a high school student, becoming a political follower of my representative's work. George went on to be a 'mover and shaker' in Congress and leader, as a trained physicist and practicing engineer, in the science and policy of climate. His work is essential in understanding how climate change powered up a constellation of NASA/NOAA/USGS programs and missions, many of which were the first of their type gathering digital data and earth science imaging. I was fortunate, as an environmental activist, to be along for the ride over the years until George's untimely passing in 1999.
Thank you George for all you did, the perseverance, the vision, the hard work. You made a world of difference, a positive difference that goes on and on (and you changed my life) -- https://www.greenpolicy360.net/w/Earth_Day_Memories_on_the_50th_Anniversary
To our GreenPolicy360 readers, please take a look, a close look, at George E. Brown as I've recalled many of his contributions here -- https://www.greenpolicy360.net/w/George_E._Brown_Jr
Let us also all take a look at some of the history of climate conferences over the years here -- https://www.greenpolicy360.net/w/File:Climate_Conferences_1979-2020.jpg
The work continues as we step up and do our best, becoming Planet Citizens day-by-day, month-by-month, year-by-year, decade-by-decade.

Climate Impact of Increasing Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide
From the Journal of Science
28 August 1981, Volume 213, Number 4511
James Hansen et al.
Greenhouse Effect
Atmospheric CO2 increased from 280 to 300 parts per million in 1880 to 335 to 340 ppm in 1980, mainly due to burning of fossil fuels....
Summary. The global temperature rose by 0.20C between the middle 1960βs and1980, yielding a warming of 0.4Β°C in the past century. This temperature increase is consistent with the calculated greenhouse effect due to measured increases of atmospheric carbon dioxide. Variations of volcanic aerosols and possibly solar luminosity appear to be primary causes of observed fluctuations about the mean trend of increasing temperature. It is shown that the anthropogenic carbon dioxide warming should emerge from the noise level of natural climate variability by the end of the century, and there is a high probability of warming in the 1980βs. Potential effects on climate in the 21st century include the creation of drought-prone regions in North America and central Asia as part of a shifting of climatic zones, erosion of the West Antarctic ice sheet with a consequent worldwide rise in sea level, and opening of the fabled Northwest Passage.
