GWDF2 D15H8 Road-trip War Chest - Accepting Pledges
[Johnny Appleseed; Paul Revere...; may point the way for me, at this time.]
[Note, share this with friends. SHARE THIS WITH FRIENDS. Yes, it is time for folks to find new guts, boldness, venturing outside our comfort zones.... WAYYYYYYY past time.] [Oh, uh, share this with friends.] [Yes, even NOW would be a good time. We are as much as 15-20 years too late on getting started here.]
Accepting pledges, not funds, but pledges, so I know what support could be there if I need it. Giving me some idea of your thoughts of your aggressive support / solidarity (zero 'charity' accepted), if you have them, would be very useful to my planning.
For many years, 9 or so, the vision of walking the country has been in and out of my mind. With my within the last 2 weeks Vision, Revelation that like with Wall-e, there are no signs of Life on earth (Life: that which JOYFULLY, TOTALLY risks all against existential threats to it's children; like my father's generation did against the Nazi threat; True for every still-viable species, which we humans have ceased being, NO DISRESPECT TO ANYONE), the idea of traveling the country, by bike, pulling a cart with "Save our Kids, Kill GHG" sign; stopping in town squares to 'soap box...,' is raging back into my mind. Why?
#1. To search for the 1 in a million insanely humane (INSHE), and help them understand the existential threat of free dumping of GHG;
#2. Raising general awareness of the GHG Existential Threat - Ecocide; Envirogeddon.
I'm one of the few (fewer than 2?) that understands this issue at an authoritative level in my Head (there are thousands who also do) and in my Heart (the other being, uh, who, based on their behavior, who? MK Golden. Who else?????) My understanding is growing by 9-12 hours per day of deep study of the best, most authoritative information; 7 days per week, every, EVERY waking second. Maybe approaching the Masters or PhD level already, within several months there may be none that have my Heart AND Head grasp. The DC, national, and international 'clubs' on this issue, scientific, 'activist' have world-class defenses against me and anyone not in the 'club (placing the club members, their status quo, comfort, above humanity)' but some folks in towns around the country, don't have those defenses against a guy 60 year old guy in questionable health, with facial tattoos, adoring Jesus, adoring every species, every human, risking all, giving away totally, 100% for free, multi-degree PhD level skills and expertise that industry paid hundreds of thousands of dollars per year for, in my earlier life (

. Somewhere along a 24 / 7 / 365 multi-year nationwide bike trip there could be some insanely humane, of Creator knows what background creed age socioeconomics... that could come to realize that a planet without life support can't deal with the issues they've otherwise been fighting for; and that they need to focus on GHG so they have time for the issues they already were on.
What funding would I need? Not sure yet. Maybe none. Maybe some hundreds of dollars.
Two insane angels in my life have already proveded funds that might be enough, safely hoarded in a bank. Due to them I have laptop, wifi, basic solar power, and basic solar power storage. But I see additdional needs:
* Bike
* Bike cart; and maybe just the cart - walking may be the best way for me to go.
* Signage suitable for an arduous trip
* Light-weight sleeping bag - all season
* Additional solar panel
* Enhaced communication vs what I have now - I'd need the biggest (rural, nation-wide) wifi network / communication and that could involve a 2 year contract with Verizon, and maybe a smart-phone. I'm envisioning doing this in a way that enabled me to remain hugely productive in study and publishing on the internet as I bike, or possibly, so I can work on computer, act as a mule to the cart of stuff I'd drag.
Anyway, this is what is raging in my mind.
Timeframe? The (Actionable Essentials (Drs Hansen, Romm, Brown, Stern, IEA, EIA...) books I'm working on for you, are also for me - establishing a world-class, authoritative scaffolding for me of the basic information that John Q's need to advocate for the next 200 billion kids. These will keep me pinned down here another few months. But then I'd be free to head south in the winter months, on the journey.
Oh, uh, ps:

Giving me some idea of your thoughts of your aggressive support /
