April 16, 2006 - Column in the Detroit News by Thomas Brady

Despite nearly two decades of panicky reports about a planet melting down, only 35 percent of Americans say global warming "will pose a serious threat to you or your way of life in your lifetime," according to a recent Gallop Poll.

Environmental pessimists, including doomsters in the media, have reacted not by rethinking their position but by redoubling their scare tactics. A documentary chronicling Al Gore's shrill campaign to approve the Kyoto Treaty has been released; Time magazine's recent cover instructed us - again - to "Be Worried. Be Very Worried"; and the oh-so-objective Big Media are providing tens of millions of dollars in free airtime for an Ad Council campaign proclaiming that if we fail to act, the end is...well, not exactly near, but not far away.

One TV ad depicts a locomotive hurtling down the train tracks. An adult appears, saying because global warming isn't likely to have much impact for 30 years, it "won't affect me." Then he steps away to reveal a little girl in the path of the train. Message: If society doesn't act now, we are dooming future generations.

Normal people, however, understand that the "precautionary principle," which environmentalists invoke as a reason to act before all the evidence is in, also requires us to take into account the distinct possibility that government will get things wrong.

They may also remember the predictions of prominent scientists in the late 1960s that population growth would lead to mass starvation by the 1980s.

Oh yes, and there was the famous Newsweek cover story in 1975 asserting that meteorologists "are almost unanimous" that the earth was headed toward a new ice age.

What really frustrates the environmental pessimists - most of them left-wingers who have criticized the Bush administration for plunging into Iraq before all the facts were known - has been the refusal of politicians to plunge into the global warming thickets without a clearer picture of the costs and benefits.

Congress has twice rebuffed measures by Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., and Joseph Lieberman, D-Conn., to cap carbon dioxide emissions. British Prime Minister Tony Blair recently agreed that such measures are unrealistic. And the new government in Canada says it is "re-examining" its pledge to cut emissions just 6 percent below 1990 level, as required by Kyoto.

Environmentalists love to point out that even some corporate executives have urged action, but the supposedly skeptical press seldom inquires about their motives. In many cases, they profit from measures that would, in effect, greatly raise the costs to potential competitors.

One of Time magazine's sidebars unwittingly spells out another reason to "worry." "Maybe we can begin by living more like the average Chinese or Indian - before they start living like us," concludes the article, reflecting the belief among environmental elitists that the West's "addiction" to economic growth is the source of all environmental ills.

The average person can thus be forgiven for hearing a different train roaring down the tracks at that little girl. It's labeled "solitary, poor, nasty, brutish and short" - a miserable existence that the Chinese and Indians have rejected for themselves.

What you are looking at is the first working machine that produces a force in a controlled direction and reduces the counter force in the opposite direction to less than ten percent. The result is forward motion with very little backward motion, which means that the machine is able to move along without pushing backwards on anything, not the ground nor the air. Believe that this machine works, I have had this machine moving along my driveway without pushing on the driveway.

'Motion Without Pushing Backwards' - A New Branch of Science
An Apparent Law of Physics: Archimedes said: "Give me a place to stand and I will move the Earth". He knew that in order to push the Earth he would need to push backwards against something else. In order to push anything we need to be able to push backwards against something else in return. This has been an apparent law of physics. The absolute obedience to this law has prevented space science from developing a mechanical means of pushing space vehicles, that is, until now. Since I have developed this new and useful process by which an electrically powered mechanical machine can deliver a force that will push a vehicle forwards without the need to push backwards against something else in return. Mankind can now bypass this apparent law of physics when it is useful to do so. Mankind will find it useful to do so in order to gain the ability to push space vehicles long distances.

Letter to Archimedes
Good news Archimedes, today you would not need a place to stand in order to move the Earth. I have invented the necessary machine for you to move the Earth while standing on the Earth. January 12, 2008
