THIS WEB PAGE AND RELATED WEB PAGES ARE ONLY IN THE EARLY STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT! THE FOCUS HERE IS ON MAKING THE DESPERATELY NEEDED TRANSITION TO SUSTAINABILITY! What are the actual amounts of physical-energy-use and dollar-investments that WILL-need-to-be-made-during an AS-COMFORTABLE-AS-POSSIBLE Global-Transition from our current UNSUSTAINABLE GLOBAL-LIFE-STYLE - - - to a LONG-TERM-SUSTAINABLE GLOBAL-LIFE-STYLE - - - as regards the consumption of all kinds of energy and material-resources? Below find a description of how a web site can contain web pages that interest members of God's-Crew of God's Astronomically Tiny-and-Isolated Space-Ship-Earth may be able to use in coming to terms with the challenges which now confront us - - - as we become better-aware of the INEVITABLE-CHALLENGES coming - - - - during the next FORTY YEARS. It will be helpful to have available world-wide - - - a WEB-SITE at which God's Crew-Members will be free to click-on HYPER-LINKS CORRESPONDING The-Crew choosing various PERCENTAGE RATES-OF-GROWTH/YEAR and/or RATES-OF-DECLINE/YEAR - - - ranging among Plus-or-Minus: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 PERCENT/Year - - - For each of the following important Objective-Realities: For excellent presentations by Dr. Allen Bartlett on the Implications of Exponential-Growth - - - Click-on-the-Following-Link: Exponential-Growth-Implications For QUANTITATIVE-PROJECTIONS of the threats of PEAK-OIL - CLICK ON http://www.trendlines.ca/energy.htm NOT FOR THE FAINT-AT-HEART or EASILY-DEPRESSED PEOPLE! <== BEWARE! IN THE FUTURE - - - While here viewing any chart of the PAST-USE-OF-ENERGY - - - YOU-MAY-SEE-APPENDED-AT-LOWER-RIGHT a "vision" of the future. You will be able to change the RATE-OF-CHANGE NOTED AT THE TOP by one click on A-TOP-PAGE web page. Each projected-vision on the web-pages linked-to from-here via-links-on numbered-lines-below - - - WILL INITIALLY be based YOUR-CHOSEN Percent-Per-Year Change-in-the-Size of the HERE DESCRIBED Objective-Reality. YOU WILL LATER BE ABLE TO CHANGE YOUR CHOICE, ON-EACH SUCH GRAPHED-VISION-PAGE. EACH LINE OF TEXT BELOW IS A CLICKABLE LINK! EACH LINE TEXT OF LINE BELOW IS A CLICKABLE LINK!
