In c o 2 was 102200 times faster than what the earth experienced during the transition from the last ice age the United Nations estimates this will be augmented by a 40 percent rise in c o 2 emissions in the next 10 years we are now at 417. 00 parts per 1000000 of c o 2 in the air it is believed to be the highest concentration since humans evolved we will embrace a new paradigm 2 for resistance or die joining me to discuss the film and the reaction to it by environmentalists is jeff gibbs so let layout jeff what you i think did quite successfully what you sought to do in the film and i will talk a little bit about how its been attacked and and finally censored forcing you to take it down off of you tube so to just for people who havent seen it and also tell people how they can see it.

Perhaps we would not have the interurban area. Also we can make a case that the interurban is the transition between steam railroads freight and the coming of the motor truck. To begin, the innercity road system was awful. We did talk about it that continued into the 20th century. To begin, the innercity road system was awful. We did talk about it that continued into the 20th century. We had that National Road that was financed by the federal government in the 1840s. It will not be there until the 1890s that there was this bicycle craze. Communities were being pressured to have better roads. Only going up into the suburbs. We have places like cleveland and philadelphia. There is a movement, and all weather road system prior to the coming of the automobile which is really from 1900 to 1905. Most american roads were my holes during the wet season and extremely dusty during the dry season. It was estimated that only about 5 of americas 2. 2 million miles of roads were actually all weather
It is certainly one of the least studied aspects of American Transportation history. And one that ime want you to keep in mind is that we can make the argument that trolley is the linkage betweens team railroad. Perhaps we would not have the interurban area.

Why we have this new perhaps replacement technology. So you may ask what is an interurban. Now, i know that you all took baby latin in high school, so interurban, between cities. Thats the kind of latin i actually remember from the early 1960s. So perhaps its time for me to just give you some visual images of an interurban. This is a brochure, as you can tell, 1907, that was sold to travelers in the greater new england area. And this is going to be the heartland of what we call rural trolleys, and rural trolleys are simply street Car Companies that have extended their lines out into the suburbs nearby villages or perhaps to an Amusement Park or to a cemetery, whatever. But this is the kind of early interurban car that was so ubiquitous. A summer car, looks like fun. You have those sweet summer breezes, and it is a way certainly to see the landscape. So this is the first type of interurban car. And note that it has an overhead, a pole that connects the traction motors with the power sou
In the latter part of the 1880s. And communities were being pressured to have better roads. Perhaps only going out into the suburbs. And we have places like cleveland and philadelphia that are installing brick roads. So there is a movement for a allweather road system, or at least in a limited sense, prior to the coming of the automobile, which really is about 1900, so 1905. Most american roads at the beginning of the 20th century, were mud holes during the wet season, and extremely dusty during the dry season. It was estimated that only about 5 of americas 2. 2 million miles of roads were actually allweather. In other words they were covered with broken stone, some type of gravel, even sand. Or in florida, with seashells. So to make a long story short, the road system was abysmal. And one good example comes from iowa. As of 1905, only 2 of the States Network of more than 100,000 miles of roads were improved. Or allweather, or semi allweather. And heres a comment that was made at this
