Dear Tom,
I enjoyed our Thursday mid-morning chat at Fresh-to-Frozen. Sorry for interupting your grocery shopping with a discourse on climate change. As you were returning your empty cart to the entry-way, you said, "You have quite a brain." You only experienced the tip of the iceberg.
As I referenced, I graduated cum laude in just over two-years at the largest university in Illinois (29,000)--transcript. I had a 7-course semester in which I ace'd 24 credut hours. Another semester of 24 credit hours had a "B"--I hope you feel sorry for me.
People often say in reviewing my resume, "Liar", but the links are all verifiable facts. When I became successful in a new field of curiosity, I migrated to a new curiosity. Money was not the motive in my career choices though I made some dough which, taken together, allowed me to retire at 49 so as to focus on research.
BTW: Do you know how to tell a real intelligent person? Most want to buy smart pills but the real deal brainiacs price-shop lobotomies.
Important to my understanding of and predictions on climate hell is my completing the 9-month pre-med organic chemistry course in two months as an over-load;. Equally important was my scoring a record high on the comprehensive electricity/electronic final in the US Navy. I was rewarded with being one of eighty-eight ETs to manage the first two cellphones which were for the President to use for war: I was the youngest at 19. Once, in a Nixon crisis, I was authorized to act directly on behalf of the President.
My references consistently tout that I was a best of the best. My proudest was that of a person with whom you should be directly or indirectly familiar. The originator of the "gatekeeper" theory, he was instrumental in journalism redefining as mass communication, David was my best friend for the last 17 years of his life. He wrote over 30 books published by major houses. He was a double-digit millionaire who once gave me $35k for a project. He editted seven of my books--gratis.
I won't re-list his listed accolades though one is very amusing: After his death, Betty Frieden (The Feminine Mystique) wrote in her auto-biography that David was the best lover she ever had. (Big boy that he was, David shared some of her letters begging him to come back after he ended the affair.) More than once during the 1988 Presidential race, I was with David when the Democratic candidate, Mike Dukakis, called up for David's evaluation of a speech..
Five years into the very active friendship, I asked why he had me as a friend with numerous uncommon shared experiences, e.g., lunch with the Archbishop of New York in the Metropolitcan Club that was started by JP Morgan. David responded, "In my life, I recognize five people with more intelligence than me. You are the only one still alive."
I stand alone, probably, as the only researcher who understands the climate-dependent atmosphere for what it is, an electro-chemical process or atmospheric metabolism. As I recounted, to you, Tom, I first essayed on climate change in 1982 with Oil Droughts that predicted worsening droughts with downwind deluges. The process is hydrophlia where CO2 soaks up water after which a downwind "soda bottle shake" occurs causing the deluges.
Timism's websegment Global Dying details more than a dozen major past and current droughts with upwind CO2 generation, e.g., oil fields, California, forest fires. I mentioned the Horn of Africa drought which began in 1965 but abated for the 9 months of upwind OPEC oil embargo in the early 1970s.
Hydrophlia is of great cause for concern. Forest fires are the key element
in closed loop of
This closed loop is an E.L.E: Existential Level Event. We are in existential meltdown which requires severe broad-based response. Otherwise, global civilization dies with more refugee camps and disaster victims who have nowhere to go but go to terrorism and war.
We are all paying daily for unstopped climate change as the droughts, fires, floods, hurricanes and tornados are destroying the food chains on which we depend. The number one cause of inflation is climate change driving up prices from the bottom of the economic ladder ... in a world with more mouths to feed: 350,000 each day.
Tom, your team and you have an opportunity and a duty. The Timism.com homepage lists the key impact of CO2:
Using Timism's homepage as an outline, your station staff (about 30 are needed) can create a broadcast video for which you would easily find sponsors to televise it, local and national. Participating staff would receive 1,000 shares in my new internet enterprise with an evenutual market value of $35/share. They would have to do the work after hours with the segments pulled together over the weekend. I would be available to consult, guide and answer questions. I have a plethora of images for each topic from which some were used to make YouTube vids. (I have an app by which to organize and motivate climate activists--grassroots gerrymandering. When I became a sought-out coder, I stopped coding for others.) And, I think a Pulitzer prize might be in the cards for WTVR-6.
Let me know by 5pm Tuesday October 22, if you are interested. The video must be prepared by the following Monday for public viewing to hopefully elevate climate hell as a November 5 election issue. To do nothing will be self-punishment as it is only a matter of time before Mother Nature's roulette of mega-disasters visits Richmond.
Sincerely,
Bob Barnett

P.S. Bulk of the aforementioned iceberg is Timism: The Morality of More Time. Since my sophomore college year, I have deduced a theory of existence based on the quantity of the time in an event/entity that is the event/entity's quality Examples:
Timism is the Periodic Table of Existence. Time is the thread in the fabric of life. Time is the gravity of existence. If you have read this far, congratulations. Most people switch to their social media comfort zone.
P.S.P.S. Carrot: If you work at WTVR-6 and would like to help with this video (with or without Ch-6 management support), please email BobBarnett@Timism.com. Any royalties would be split equally.
P.S.P.S.P.S. Stick: If one has the ability to respond to a problem then one has a responsibility to solve the problem. As one of Timism's goal is the closure the Patrick Henry School climate cancer and the termination of the police chief (see Timism.com), so will it become a goal of revoking broadcast license rof the South's 1st TV station--Virginia's Most Honored TV Station. The matter-at-hand is not who has the best barbecue.
