PROJECT BLUE LAGOON: The Ultimate Solution to Climate ChangeToday we now KNOW that Climate Change is REAL and that WE are causing it. We know that to SOLVE it we need to dramatically cut our Carbon Emissions - but this will NEVER happen unless we create a REAL incentive for it. In fact, we are heading in the complete OPPOSITE as our populations and economies continue to grow. Unfortunately, all those brave books, movies and documentaries on climate change only raise awareness of it. However, knowing about the problem and actually doing something about it are two completely different things. Agreed? But there IS a Solution to the Pollution. There IS a way to SAVE our planet WITHOUT having to make great sacrifices to our lifestyles. There IS a way to reduce current CO2 levels in our atmosphere, lower sea levels to save millions living in lowlands AND reverse the damage done so far - while STILL moving forward and even BURNING OIL. To PRACTICALLY solve climate change without making huge sacrifices we must first look at the problem laterally. It is caused by an increase in atmospheric CO2 levels, which lead to melting ice, a rise in sea levels and more intense weather. This implies that we need to rid our atmosphere of all excess CO2 and find a place to 'store' all of our excess seawater in order to immediately balance sea level rises. It is proposed that we use an old method of water transportation to do this – but in a whole new way! In areas of dry, desolate, undisputed unpopulated desert basins, which go below sea level, we carve out canals connecting them to the closest coasts in order to flood them with seawater. This will give them the exact nourishment they are lacking so their rainfall will naturally increase (as the sun vaporises the seawater) and their surrounds will (in time) be filled with new lush vegetation, making them both carbon absorbing and habitable. Our sea levels also decline from the displaced seawater. BEFORE YOU REACT just stop and think about it for a second. How else can we get rid of all our excess seawater? By launching it into space or storing it in tanks? How else can we so easily and quickly create huge areas of green to act as large carbon sinks and clean up the earth's atmosphere? How else can we solve the problem while still enjoying our current lifestyles – with added economic activity? Would you rather pay a bit extra in tax to fund such a project or would you rather stop driving and give back to the environment every single little morsel you consume - and preserve an already dead desert? | ||

Rudy Rosa - Accordionist Organist Keyboard Stylist Recording ArtistRudy Rosa was 5 years old when his father Leo began teaching him the Accordian "By Ear". Leo was a very accomplished Accordianist, and was extremely hard on Rudy, demanding Perfection, and many long hours of Practice.Needless to say Rudy hated playing the accordian. When he was 7 years old, he started to play with Leo's Polka Band all around Pennsylvania. He won numerous Accordian Competitions. He became a true Virtuoso. Rudy developed an interest in Ham Radio at age 12. His call sign was K3IYU. He spent many happy hours talking to people all over the world. This started his Electronics education. When he was 15 years old, Rudy's mother Gladys wanted an organ for Christmas. Leo bought her a Hammond M-3 spinet organ. For 24 hours Rudy didn't sleep or eat. He sat at that Organ teaching himself to play it, transposing what he knew from the Accordian, and listening to Lenny Dee records. Lenny Dee was Rudy's Idol. Rudy wanted to play just like him. So he pursued his Dream by practicing many more hours with a record player hooked up to the Organ. Lenny Dee, Ethel Smith, and Earl Grant, were all Rudy's teachers! Soon he felt confident enough to go out and play in a few of the local lounges. That is where he met Ted Strayer, his future father in law. Rudy ran away from home when he was 17 years old. He went directly to St Petersburg Florida, where Lenny Dee was performing at the Desert Ranch Beach Resort. Rudy was too young to go in the lounge so he stood in the doorway all evening long listening to Lenny Dee play. After his last set Lenny came to the doorway and met, and talked with Rudy. Rudy loved Lenny Dee's sound, and asked how he got the echo. Lenny said "That would be giving you the keys to my money box". This was something Rudy had to figure out for himself. Rudy was inspired to go back home, buy a Sony 777 tape recorder, and keep studying his organ music! Rudy bought every record that Lenny Dee ever made! Rudy learned how to play by listening over and over to him. Just after returning from Florida to Pennsylvania, Rudy met his future wife, Sue Strayer, age 13, at the Fulton Piano and Organ Company Store, where her father Ted worked part time selling organs. It was "Love at First Sight" for Rudy and Sue! Rudy bought his first Hammond B-3 from Sue's dad at Fulton's. Ted was also a sign painter and painted the first Promo sign for Rudy. Rudy became Sue's organ teacher in April of 1962, teaching her "By Ear". This was the only way Sue could reason with her Dad to be able to see Rudy on a regular basis, since she was so young, and he wouldn't let her Date yet. Rudy convinced Ted, that if Sue could watch him play the organ, it would help her with her organ lessons. Rudy gave Sue about 6 organ lessons, then started dating her regularly for the next 2 years, till they got married. Most of their dates consisted of Rudy on stage , and Sue in the audience watching him. Sue has always been his "Number One Fan"!!! | ||
