You have help at hand!

He pondered how he could encourage the brilliant Katey to take Anthony into her confidence.

He knew as an ally she would prove one of his strongest supporters. If he could jog her memory from 21 years ago when he wrote of her research into methane releases in the Arctic regions, that in 2008 were equal to all the man made emissions from the entire United States of America a staggering 20% of total greenhouse gases back in those days, she would realise she now had regained the support and respect she so rightfully deserved.

To Anthony - You have help at hand!

Anthony my friend, I have exciting news for you. I don’t know how to put this subtly. You have brilliance and a legendary environmental warrior in your midst. The person you know it be Patricia is no other than Katey Walter.

You’ll remember her from my book. She was the person who warned the world back in 2007 of the thawing permafrost in Siberia and Alaska. Do you remember?

I suspect she is hiding under the name Patricia now as she may fear the same ostracising from you or others as she received in 2010. The conservative science community viewed her as too outspoken about the potential of accelerated methane releases as the Arctic warmed, at 3-4 times the global average in the first decade of the century.

You must tell her you know me.

I have put the following hologramletter segment together for you to play to her.
Once you have her confidence you should be able to gain much of the access to the HAARP complex you are looking for. If anyone knows its secrets she will.

Let me know if my plea to her helps.

Until later my friend ……………. Hello Patricia do you recognise my face? I have aged somewhat.

You still have the passionate eyes I remember from back in 2008 when we last hooked up via video conferencing. That technology now seems as ancient in the history of man as the safety we enjoyed at the time.

Do you remember telling me of your fears back then if the world failed to heed your research? You warned them with such passion ‘This newly recognized source of methane is so far not included in climate models.’ Your estimates suggested the area had 500 gigatons (1,100 trillion pounds) of carbon, largely in the form of ancient dead plant material. You warned ‘Permafrost models predict significant thaw of permafrost during this century, which means that yedoma permafrost is like a time bomb waiting to go off—as it continues to thaw, tens of thousands of teragrams of methane can be released to the atmosphere enhancing climate change.’

Do you remember me now? My eyes, my passion and my concern for man have not wavered either.

You have a great ally with you there in your compound. Anthony.

Anthony and I are; like you and I were once. We; like you were then, not fearful of raising the voice of concern loudly to change the future to one that was safe for those that would come after us. What was it you told me the native American Indians said? "We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors; we borrow it from our children."

We must now ask ourselves as custodians of that moral obligation why we failed in that duty of trust.

Katey – yes Katey you must now take up that challenge once more. You must now rekindle all the passion and hope you once had. Work with Anthony as you did for the world back then and you and he can achieve much.

Until next time ….Stay safe – stay indoors. Much hope to you all.

He switched off the monitors and returned to his thoughts. ‘We borrow it from our children’
