The One Percent's solution is not strong enough

Our planet's biosphere is in a hell of a mess and the solutions proposed by The One Percent aren't strong enough to clean it up.

(Particularly as The One Percent is exactly who got us into this disaster in the first place !)

'Help From All : Hope For All' (HFA : HFA) (HFAx2)

We need to urgently crowd source possible fixes - we need the new ideas that only a full-strength 'one hundred percent solution' can provide.

We need the human equivalent of the microbes' HGT - we need everybody helping each other collectively find some answers to our global crisis.

We can't overlook a possible humanity-saving solution just because the person with the idea wears a niqab, or might be a three year old terrorist bobbing on a Turkish beach, or isn't from 'Old Stock'.

Solutions to humanity's crisis can't be a gated community , with everybody given an Aryan Level Three blood test before being allowed inside.

Because, after all, the benefits of success will help us all.

And the fallout from failure will drift down on all of us too.

The REAL 1% versus 99% debate....

Michael Marshall

Move aside, 'OCCUPY MOVEMENT'.

The rich 1% versus the poorer 99% isn't as critical a debate as this simple biological fact:

Without agriculture (& aquaculture/commercial fishing) , the world ,in the best of climate conditions, can only feed 1% of the current humans upon it.

Hunter-gatherers we might have to become again, in the event of some Man-Made-Disaster like a full nuclear winter.

In a place like Nova Scotia with about a million people, one percent is about 10,000 hunter-gatherers eking out just enough food to  survive at sustenance level.

To confirm this, ask yourself how many aboriginals lived in all of Nova Scotia when white Europeans arrived 500 years ago ?

Ten thousand residents seems about right - even optimistic - but the climate then was harsher than it is now, and many animals and plants hadn't yet returned to the almost-an-island after the last Ice Age.

Nuclear Winter's harsh coldness in summer/lack of sunshine/drought -- all could cripple photosynthesis on land and in the sea, even if it just lasted one season.

(Need we add the post-nuclear-war effects of acid rain, radiation and extreme high loads of deadly UV rays to this disaster for green plants?)

Humans store so little food normally, that during that year without a harvest we would eat what little seed crop we have to merely survive and then be even worse off when the sun arrived back to greet us cheerfully next season.

We know this to be a fact as certain as that sun rising in the morning, because that is the way thousands of local and regional famines have worked, or rather not worked, throughout history.

That is the delicate and fragile foundation that our whole great human urban high tech civilization actually rests upon.
