CLICK HERE FOR FREE EBOOK EDITION AVAILABLE THROUGH MAY 31, 2009


HEMP FOR VICTORY: A GLOBAL WARMING SOLUTION is by Richard M. Davis, Founder & Curator, USA Hemp Museum, a private museum with a virtual wing.



FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Los Angeles, CA April, 2009 – Just in time for the 2009 Global Marijuana March - Saturday, May, 2, 2009 HEMP FOR VICTORY: A GLOBAL WARMING SOLUTION is available for a limited time as a free ebook at the museum’s site.
The result of decades of research by the USA Hemp Museum's founder and curator, Richard M. Davis, this work presents a compelling case proving hemp’s ability to help solve the problem of global warming. The hard copy edition is available on amazon.com.

Why hemp? When used as bio fuel, hemp replaces toxic energy with clean, easily renewable energy. Whatever toxic energy can do, hemp can do better. Hemp biomass does not pollute while it’s powering everything that uses electrical current, including the power plant that produces the electrical current. Clean hemp bio fuel can be processed to run any engine, heat or cool any building, run any factory, and eliminate the pollution that comes from modern energy sources. Remove the cause, excess CO2, and the effect, global warming can at least be reduced, if not healed. Hemp is also a champion at scrubbing the air of excess CO2 gas as it grows.

“A state of international emergency has been declared by many of the top scientists in the world.” Davis said “To help save ourselves from the ravages of global warming, we must grow massive quantities of hemp all over the world to clean the air and provide bio fuel. Working together, crops can be bred for maximum earth healing affect. Markets can be coordinated. The impact of restoring the family farmers can help those who are not currently benefiting from our alleged booming economy.”

In addition to offering the who, what, when, where and how on solving the problem of global warming (page 7) other exhibits in the book include:

Excess CO2, Hemp & Global Warming

Al Gore is right. We can solve the problem of global warming.

Hemp can remove the excess CO2 we have in the atmosphere that is at cause for a big part of global warming. We still need to address methane, but hemp can have a powerful impact on removing the excess CO2.

This article is an echo from a great page we found on the We Can Solve It site, with a few thoughts added. The USA Hemp Museum has added a group there called HEMP FOR VICTORY to begin an international conversation on how to use hemp to solve the problem of global warming. Please come by and share what you know.

We've made nature illegal and wonder why we have a problem with the environment. The world has lost it's mind and the planet is telling us it's time to restore sanity.

Hemp is a sane choice to quickly solve the problem of global warming.

Simply stated, when the problem is too much CO2 in the atmosphere, the solution is to remove the excess CO2 to safe levels.

Hemp is a biomass champion that breathes in the excess CO2 as it grows and creates products that improve the quality of life.

In this forum there will be a lot of conversation of using hemp to scrub the air of excess CO2 as it grows. A question may arise about why this is important, with hemp being illegal and all. Why should we change the law to save ourselves?

The Problem as defined on another page on the site We Can Solve It:

"The concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere is now 380 parts-per-million (ppm), 100 ppm higher than at the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. But we can look back even further. By drilling into the deepest glacial ice we can measure CO2 deep into time. And this ice library shows more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere than at any time in last 650,000 years.

"HEMP TO THE RESCUE - WITH A LOT OF HELP FROM HER FRIENDS

The Solution:

We're talking problem solving at the level of cause and effect.

The way to solve the excess CO2 portion of the global warming problem is to restore CO2 to safe levels with wide spread hemp growth, internationally, to remove the excess from the atmosphere.

Let the United Nations coordinate the wide scale growing. In addition to each nation participating, both the UN and nations can receive reasonable by the standards of the public, tax income from the new markets to sustain themselves. We anticipate the hemp trade boom will be a substantially needed boost to the world's economy.

Independently earned funding for the UN should help build the organization's independence in deciding the highest good for all concerned. Toxic energy should be illegal, unnecessary toxic activities stopped now. Shift to hemp biofuel and other non toxic, clean and/or free energy sources like hydro, wind, magnetic, solar, etc. to empower our world and enhance our environment.

Thanks to whoever wrote that article. Here's an except:

"What is global warming?

The science behind global warming is often portrayed as enormously complex, but some of it is quite simple. It begins with a ray of light, shot through space from the staggering inferno of our sun. That sunbeam delivers energy to earth, giving us light and warmth and life. As some of this energy radiates back toward space as heat, a portion is absorbed by a delicate balance of heat-trapping (or "greenhouse") gases in the atmosphere that create an insulating layer. Without the temperature control of this greenhouse effect, the Earth's average surface temperature would be 0°F (-18°C), a temperature so low that the Earth would be frozen and could not sustain human life as we know it. The most abundant of the greenhouse gases is water vapor. In addition, there are other powerful greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide (CO2), methane, and nitrous oxide.

Each of these is a natural part of the never-ending cycle of life, death, and decomposition on Earth. But since the onset of the Industrial Revolution humans have been pumping out more and more of these and other greenhouse gases. Scientists are clear: human activities are contributing to global warming by adding large amounts of heat-trapping gases to the atmosphere. Our fossil fuel use is the main source of these gases. Every time we drive a car, use electricity from coal-fired power plants, or heat our homes with oil or natural gas, we release carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping gases into the air.

The second most important addition of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere is related to deforestation, mainly in the tropics, as well as other land-use changes.

The concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere is now 380 parts-per-million (ppm), 100 ppm higher than at the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. But we can look back even further. By drilling into the deepest glacial ice we can measure CO2 deep into time. And this ice library shows more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere than at any time in last 650,000 years.

As a result of the build up of gases, the temperature is beginning to rise. Adults today have already felt the average global temperature rise more than a full degree Fahrenheit (0.8°C) during our lifetimes. We expect another degree F by 2020 due to past emissions. Based on modeling by an international body of experts studying the climate crisis, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the temperature could increase by more than 7°F (4°C) by the end of the century in the absence of meaningful efforts to rein in global warming pollution. What happens when the global temperature rises?

For a global system that is delicately balanced, the rise in temperatures will pose serious threats: Rising sea levels, leading to more coastal erosion, flooding during storms, and permanent inundation Increased drought and increased incidence of wildfires Severe stress on many forests, wetlands, alpine regions, and other natural ecosystems Impacts on human health as mosquitoes and other disease-carrying insects and rodents spread diseases over larger geographical regions Disruption of agriculture in some parts of the world due to increased temperature, water stress, and sea-level rise in low-lying areas such as Bangladesh or the Mississippi River delta.

Other projected impacts include increased intensity of hurricanes; the long-term destabilization of the Greenland and West Antarctic ice sheets, leading to much greater sea level rise; the acidification of the world's oceans; and a vastly increased rate of species extinction. Wonders such as the Great Barrier Reef and the Amazon could collapse under the weight of just a few more degrees. And hundreds of millions of people may be forced from their homelands as the climate shifts, creating increased political and economic instability. "

How Can Hemp Save The Gulf of Mexico?

It's been reported that the corn boom could expand the ‘dead zone’ deeper into the Gulf.
According to the Associated Press on MSNBC-TV:

"The dead zone typically begins in the spring and persists into the summer. Its size and location vary each year because of currents, weather and other factors, but it is generally near the mouth of the Mississippi.

This year, it is the third-biggest on record. It was larger in 2002 and 2001, when it covered 8,500 and 8,006 square miles respectively.

Soil erosion, sewage and industrial pollution also contribute to the dead zone, but fertilizer is believed to be the chief factor.

Fertilizer causes explosive growth of algae, which then dies and sinks to the bottom, where it sucks up oxygen as it decays. This creates a deep layer of oxygen-depleted ocean where creatures either escape or die."

Hemp bio fuel can help restore life to the Gulf of Mexico's dead zone.

How? Hemp, an effective, clean energy source does not need pesticides to grow. The removal of pesticides used in growing corn by growing hemp instead would remove the cause of the over 8,000 square miles of "dead zone" recorded in the Gulf.

We are killing the Gulf with our policy that's investing in corn energy, rather than safe, effective, clean low cost hemp bio fuel. The situation is too stupid for words.

The United States federal government is now, 50 years into the global warming drama, recommending we use a food source, corn, to make bio fuel for energy. The result, the Gulf has a record size dead zone, a place where nothing can live. Food prices are rocketing because we are using our main food source for energy. The green back is a pale shade of yellow in light of $100 a gallon toxic energy price.

That's just stupid.

Let's go back to Hemp 101 and Save Ourselves

A Peaceful Solution

by Willie Nelson

Written by Willie & Amy Nelson

Because toxic chemicals are not required for hemp's growth or processing, no toxic chemicals from corn growth, the cause of the dead zone, are released into the Gulf.

Hemp is a sturdy, wind pollinated weed that grows wild in nature. Despite the illusion of industrial, medical and leisure hemp use, simply, hemp is one plant in various grades. Hemp is relatively easy to grow, can grow up to 4 crops a year, and is four times more energy efficient than corn as bio fuel.

Hemp oil burns clean and can do anything toxic gasoline does (except kill us - zero deaths from hemp - ever). Hemp oil can also be used in plastics. If you have not yet checked out Zelfo, see what hemp plastics can do for you.

Hemp pellets burn clean in power plants. In California there are over 30 such energy plants ready to burn hemp bio fuel. Unlike nuclear, there is no danger of a hemp meltdown.

Hemp is the Lord's solar collector that transforms solar rays into 50,000+ useful products including strong building materials, paper, fabric, oil, food, etc. Hemp converts sunlight into clean energy to run our cars and heat/cool our homes, etc.

Hemp, solar, hydro, wind, magnetic and other 100% clean energy sources that don't pollute the land, water or air are the only energies that should be legal. That which is toxic should be immediately outlawed for energy use. Our lives depend on this radical, though simple change.

Hemp would help restore the family farm, especially if we deeded family farmers a portion of unused federal land for the purposes of growing hemp. The federal government could make available at least 10% of federal land (approximately 65 million acres) for the purposes of growing hemp. The ancillary resource material can empower a lot of small businesses and job opportunities, "Hemportunities," like the transformations from "drug dealer" to tax paying "Hemp Merchant."

P L E A S E!!! Do what you can to shift energy policy away from toxic practices and onto safe, clean energy sources, including with hemp.

Any energy policy that includes toxic energy should be vetoed at the citizens level.

Davis, Founder and Curator of the USA Hemp Museum, a private museum with a virtual wing. Read that book like your life depends on it. It does!

Solving Global Warming

Yes, we have the ability to solve the problem of global warming at the level of cause, excess CO2 in the atmosphere, as demonstrated in Al Gore's AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH.

Hemp is an effective solution to global warming. Hemp scrubs the air of excess CO2 as it grows, burns 100% clean as biofuel four times more efficiently than corn, and has many other environmental benefits.
