  • Are environmental protection and climate change synonymous?
  • What anthropogenic inputs are there to the environmental impact on land, air, oceans, and space?
  • Is there a correlation that shows the interdependencies between the earth, air, ocean, and space environments? Is anyone doing the science to find out?
  • Do inequity, prejudice, culture, and other elements play a significant role in our environmental detriment, and how so?
  • What possible funding sources and resources are there to bring to bear on this wicked problem? What's missing and why?
