Book excerpt: What Is Domed City In the next 100 years, humanity must find suitable inhabited areas beyond Earth. In reaction to human-caused disruptions in planetary systems, physicist Stephen Hawking urged in 2017. Elon Musk, an entrepreneur, met with 60 scientists and engineers in Colorado a year later to explore Mars colonization. Turning to our own planet, a small group of architects is creating ingenious shelters to survive the effects of climate change. A domed metropolis is a fictitious construction that encloses a big urban area beneath a single roof. Most accounts describe an airtight and pressurized dome that creates a habitat that can be managed for air temperature, composition, and quality, generally due to an external atmosphere (or lack thereof) that is hostile to living for one or more reasons. Domed cities, which can be found on Earth, a moon, or another planet, have been a staple of science fiction and futurology since the early twentieth century.

Mission Specialist Jana Novacek, the youngest astronaut ever, who has been chosen for mysterious reasons, suggests breaking security, announcing their existence to everyone over the net, and asking for help.

Download or read book Transforming the Global Biosphere written by Elliott Maynard and published by Watchmaker Publishing. This book was released on 2000-09 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transforming the Global Biosphere is based on the author's presentations to the World Future Society, and was written at the suggestion of Nobel Peace Prize Nominee and former UN Assistant Secretary General, Dr. Robert Muller. The author feels strongly that, in order to reverse the presently destructive impacts of Human Technology on the Global Biosphere, a Transformative Revolution in Human Consciousness must first take place. Such a "Magnificent Revolution" would take the form of Twelve Futuristic MetaStrategies...each of which would represent a Key SocioEcological Paradigm in itself. Each chapter of the book is developed around a MetaStrategy, providing examples of the Major Problems, as well as Innovative Solutions for reversing these Destructive Trends...through selected applications of Unique Alternative Technologies and Strategies. Dr. Maynard's Twelve MetaStrategies for Planetary Management are essentially a set of enlightened, yet effective, tools for Creative Thinking and Action. They are designed to promote environmentally sustainable future scenarios for the maximum benefit for Humans, their Planetary Homeworld, and for the Generations Yet to Come. In spite of the mounting evidence of environmental damage and disturbance to our Natural Planetary Systems, Dr. Maynard contends that solutions to these problems are available through insightful applications of Alternative Technologies, which can provide Clean Renewable Energy, Efficient Non-Polluting Transportation, Hi-Energy Nutrition, and Ecologically Appropriate Lifestyles for everyone on Earth. To achieve such a meaningful and lasting transformation, the author feels we must move rapidly and efficiently beyond the entanglements of 20th Century Thinking, and blaze adventurous new pathways into the Future. Together we must find the courage to explore the promising applications of alternative leading-edge Technologies, which often exist outside the boundaries of the Mainstream Scientific Thought. -- Elliott Maynard Blog.
