Weeklies: Further

Happy Monday to everyone!

Our productivity stepped down a notch this past week, but that might have stemmed from a few other things, such as lack of motivation over certain topics due to an inefficient weekly planning and the looming anxiety over the job applications I sent a week prior. My lack of control over social media and phone usage in some moments to cope up with this anxiety also might have been a big factor. However, since we consider everything (and I am not exaggerating when I say every single thing I do) an instrument for learning and growth, I guess our productivity doesn't really define the things we learned this week. So, without further ado, here's our summary of how this wonderful week went.

Last week's new learnings:

A. Online Courses

I finally finished the last training video of the Dr. Mendoza series with the title "Basic Concepts and Impacts of Climate Change in Agriculture, Forestry, and Natural Resources." [1] That means we can move forward to the next phase of this project: distilling the knowledge we learned from the four videos and connecting them in different activities you will be reading soon in this blog. The training title already defines the knowledge contained in this training. It provided definitions and connections between climate change and all related terms like greenhouse gases (GHGs) and global warming, as well as delved into the factors that affect climate change, and how climate change impacts several important aspects of our modern lives such as agriculture, health, natural resources, weather patterns, and biodiversity. Furthermore, what really brought me the most attention was the part that presented the international and national (Philippines) approaches on addressing climate change. Besides having a recalling of the Paris Agreement and the Kyoto Protocol, I was also introduced to other initiatives such as:

the REDD [Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and (forest) Degradation], which is an initiative developed by the UNFCC that works by providing incentives to developing countries to slow down rates of deforestation, which the organization inferred to be the main cause of around 17-20% of the increase in total carbon emissions within 5 years;

NDCs (Nationally Determined Contributions) which allows individual nation-states to provide their conditional and non-conditional commitments in developing their own ambitious plan to reduce their carbon emissions; and

the "cap-and-trade" market based mechanism under the Kyoto Protocol that manages GHGs emissions of participating countries.

Moreover, I learned that the Philippines had its own activities in contributing to combating the effects of climate change. This includes their NDC plan of cutting our GHG emissions by up to a whopping 75%! You read that right. The Philippines really took it to heart when the parties under the Paris Agreement said "ambitious." How are we doing this, so far? The Climate Change Act of 2009 led to the creation of the Climate Change Commission, which is the primary agency of our government reporting under the Office of the President tasked to coordinate efforts relating to climate change mitigation as stated by the law. This then led to the formation of a strategic plan that is contained within the National Climate Change Action Plan from 2011 to 2028. [2, 3, 4, 5]

Another key takeaway for me is this: although developed countries contribute significantly higher percentages to the total carbon emissions worldwide, it is more practical and less expensive to limit the GHG emissions of developing countries instead rather than to completely change the already-established system of the developed nations. The first thought that came to my mind was this: developing countries are already suffering more from the worsening effects of climate change and yet we are still asked to adjust for the sake of these wealthy nations. However, the international initiatives such as the Paris Agreement and the Kyoto Protocol, allows the wealthy countries to provide financial support to the developing nations to compensate for the reduced GHG emissions, which to me, seems like a win-win situation for both parties. But the most surprising thing about these initiatives is that they're completely voluntary, and although as unfortunate as it sounds, it became even clearer to me that the key to actually combating climate change to save our species from eventual extinction really lies in the hands of those currently in power.

B. Scientific Articles

I'm still working my way towards this article on the "Tipping elements of the Earth's climate system" but I'm slowly coming to terms with the concepts contained in the article. It's a slow process but this leads me to realize that I actually do not have the necessary foundation in order to easily understand this topic in greater detail and in a faster rate, because the mathematical derivation of how a tipping element is defined had connections with topics such as bifurcation theory or maybe even nonlinear system dynamics (which is offered in MIT Open Course Ware for free!). [6] Additionally, I had to tweak my learning strategy especially on hard topics like this, and I learned that digital notes is not the way to go. Instead I wrote down in a notebook in order for me to digest the information more carefully and connect the ideas better. Plus, you can never really go wrong with the aesthetics of a pretty handwriting! It also made me realize that I have to revisit my foundational knowledge on chemistry, biology, mathematics, and physics in order for me to fully advance with my areas of interest. It makes me wonder how ineffective of a student I must have been during my years of schooling to actually not have these basic knowledge drilled into me. I don't fully blame myself though because when I told this story to my friend (hi Ana!), it also revealed the areas for improvement on our education system solely focused on the students getting good grades. But I'm already here, so I'm trying to make sense of this article one way or another with whatever I already have. Who knows, maybe in the near future, I'll find time to solidify this foundational knowledge that would greatly benefit me if I ever pursue graduate studies.

C. Other areas of learning Note: Since I consider my thinking as an avenue for learning, I am abandoning the last section on my 'realizations' and instead write about them under this particular section.

I am having a hard time reading through a 567-page thriller novel called Ghost Story by Peter Straub. Reading a hundred pages in a span of a week is too slow for my usual reading. One of the intriguing reasons I could think of as to why this is happening is that I am taking too much time analyzing the book. It was supposedly just a leisurely activity, but here I am trying to analyze the characters' development and connections, how the setting affects the overall plot, the language being used, and the patterns that continually present themselves as I go deeper into the novel. I made it an intellectual activity, and although it might seem weird to others (and completely over-the-top or OA as the current trend refers to it), I actually find this fascinating and I might create an informal analysis about the novel in the future. It got crazy to the point that I even had a nightmarish dream of this Annabelle doll attacking me during the wee hours (at 3:00-3:30, I know, what a coincidence) of Saturday morning, which led me to eventually jump out of bed, and forgo sleep during that morning. That's how terrified I was! It might be because I used the Hemingway bridge technique in order for me to look forward to the next few pages, kind of like how telenovelas or TV series use cliffhangers to hook their audience for the next episodes. I stopped reading the book Friday afternoon at a particularly terrifying page with no actual conclusion as to what happens next. My mind must've been too eager to find out what's next; hence, it stayed within my subconscious and decided to attack me in the form of a nightmare. Well, guess what? Getting up that early on a Saturday morning means I got nothing to do but continue the next few pages, leading to me eventually finishing the novel's second part, which leaves us the last chapter to finish (equivalent to more or less 200 pages). [7]

Doing some of the learning activities within the Dr. Mendoza series led me to realize that the Geographic Information System (GIS) might be analogous with a Second Brain. The GIS software does exactly what a Second Brain does: (1) it captures data and stores it within the software's database; (2) it organizes data in a way that is readable for the system and accessible for the users of the software; (3) it distills data by manipulating it for spatial analysis; and (4) it expresses data through creating aesthetically pleasing maps based on the user's interpretation of the data. This leads us to believe that information or knowledge is just data that is captured, stored, organized, sometimes updated, and used in whatever purpose you desire. This is not a novel thought, but finding some analogy across two separate areas of my learning journey is a fun way to integrate the knowledge I'm learning. It kind of serves as a proof that what I'm trying to do (learning several areas at once) is not in vain.

This came from an Instagram comment I saw yesterday (Sunday, Oct. 20) and it read: "self-growth never ends, we should always be trying to become better people." It reminded me that there really is no end goal in the learning process. Sure, maybe some day, there might actually be an audience for this blog and the success of this blog might be defined by the metrics of how many people visit and read what I write about, but the process of learning itself technically doesn't have an end. Yes, some courses might have learning outcomes and checking off those course goals could lead to a finished course but learning doesn't stop there. In fact, gathering new knowledge only leads you to ask more questions, and therefore, creates even more avenues for learning. In my opinion, if you start to view learning and self-growth as another ambitious goal, you will never get the sense of achievement or satisfaction commonly associated with goals. This might sound depressing, but this doesn't mean you cannot celebrate your own milestones, such as finishing a course or just getting your way through a tough lesson you spent so much time on. No, you can celebrate all these because they are still considered victories, but they don't necessarily correspond to a finish line, because learning has no finish line of its own. Additionally, as we progress towards the future, research and innovation will continue to bring new knowledge that we soon need to learn. Again, this seems like a depressing thought: what's the point of learning anything if I'm not achieving any goal in particular? Well, to me, here's where the journey matters more than the destination. Isn't it fun that we live more every day knowing we tried to step a little bit further into the top? Isn't it comforting that as we gain more knowledge, we eventually become better versions of ourselves? Isn't it exciting that we're learning because we're making ourselves more competent and equipped to face the increasing difficulties of our daily lives? In moments of rest and stillness, you can further comfort yourself by zooming out and appreciating the many steps you've taken, the amount of knowledge you've gained along the years, and just think to yourself: look how far you've come.

This is another random thought while I was scrolling through social media and watching this video on why more people are in the phase of burning out: we really are a broken generation. It sounds awful, but social media, overconsumption of information, and overall the capitalist world we live in brings in many of the stressors we as a species experience almost surprisingly in a collective manner. The theory of evolution encompasses the notion that the more successful species eventually adapt to their surroundings in order to survive. I'm nowhere near being an expert in genetics, but maybe our bodies will eventually form new genes essential for coping with the current stressors of our modern society. That's how previous species overcame extinction and survived through the years: through genetic mutations that allowed them to build a better version of their species. It's a scary thought, but it could also be comforting for the ordinary person: eventually, we as a species will find ways to adapt and survive in our constantly changing world. [8, 9]

I'm also currently reading two books on meteorology, which is another introductory activity for a more detailed course in the future. We had a subject on hydrometeorology when I was in college, and reading through these allows me to recall the knowledge I learned during that time. I learned about the following: the theories on the origins of our planet's atmosphere; how climate affected several extinction events in the past; how geological and biological activity impacts the climate of a specific time period which also by the way, involves a lot of chemistry; early weather forecasting methods and the development of modern ways to tell the weather (I have my eyes on you, Robert Hooke!); and the different ways to classify climate. It also allowed me to recall the primary difference between climate and weather. Climate is highly based on patterns and can be predicted given the right data, but weather is highly variable and random and your prediction for the next three hours may actually change because of a single perturbation. I couldn't think of a better analogy so I'd like to borrow the words of J. Marshall Shepherd quoted from one of the books: "Climate is your personality; weather is your mood." [10, 11]

Finally, it's always fun to chat with some of my friends and the people around me, because they, too, are valuable in my journey of personal growth and polymathy.

Here are some of this week's bops and constant listens:

Southern by Sleeping at Last: I used this as my focus music during my read through of the tipping elements!

New Orleans by Parachute: romantic, because of certain events happening in my life

Important by Ian McConnell: A really creative take on optimistic nihilism, a philosophy I would not be able to embody but still can be a great source of ideals and values for living;

Euphoria by The Ridleys: I danced to this music one night, and I just felt the love overflowing from within me. Ah, what a beautiful memory.

These two odd collaborations by Charli XCX which gave me profound realizations: i think about it all the time (feat. bon iver) and i might say something stupid (feat. the 1975 and john hopkins).

A recently released jazzy instrumental version of one of my favorite Coldplay songs, that gave me all the feels there is to be felt: Sparks (Instrumental) by Evan Jacobson.

May Singil Ang Pangarap by Barefoot Theater and the cast of the Bar Boys musical: Instant regret because this led to a queue of songs from various musicals that I sang so loud one early evening, which eventually led to a sore throat the following days. Hah!

Horizon by yuragi: A shoegaze track from a Japanese band I found from one of my old playlists, which gave me feelings of transition, of becoming, of change, a topic I've recently been spiritually connected to during this current journey of healing.

Gale Song by The Lumineers feat. James Bay (Live from Wrigley Field): A live version of a track from the film score of the Catching Fire adaptation, sang by two wonderful folk artists, was an unexpected surprise to me. I didn't even know this version existed until Wednesday afternoon!

A Model of the Universe by Johann Johannson (from the film score of The Theory of Everything) and Chopin: Nocturne No. 20 in C-Sharp Minor, Op. Posth. (sorry for the long title, I am not well versed in classical music notation!): these 2 tracks are the main reason why I got through pages of the Ghost Story novel! Fantastic background music.

Introduction to the Snow by Miracle Musical and Tally Hall: I found this I think last year from an Instagram reel about self harm, and it absolutely introduced me to a genre of music I didn't know I would appreciate. For me, it reminded me of the seasons of my life: how my journey can sometimes lead to challenging and enduring winters. I don't necessarily know if that was the artist's meaning of the song, but that's how it appeared to me. I searched for the song, and it was a track from a musical! What are the odds!

There's another long read, but I do hope you enjoyed the bits of here and there in my journey of learning and self growth. I'll see you next week!

Once again, I leave you this: keep wandering and chase what excites you!

Arlen's Blog

Welcome to Arlen’s Blog! - Jan. 4th, 2023

My name is Arlen and I am taking the PIDP program to build my skills as an Instructor. I have 15 years experience in the Electrical Industry and I am currently an Instructor in the Electrical Trades Program at the British Columbia Institute of Technology.

In this Blog, I will be discussing current Roles and Trends in my field.

Post # 1 – Trends in My Field - Jan. 4th, 2023

Here is a link to the Canadian Renewable Energy Association’s

“Powering Canada’s Journey to Net-Zero: CanREA’s 2050 Vision”

This is an interesting article outlining Canada’s goal of achieving Net-Zero GHG emissions by 2050. To meet these goals, we will require cooperation and collaboration from governments, utilities, system operators, regulators, and industry members. This will be an exciting time for my field as the Electrical Industry grows and adapts to these new challenges. As an instructor in this field, it will be important to stay up to date with changes in the technology as well as playing a role in evolving and adjusting the training to prepare students for the future. I am looking forward to playing my part in creating a Net-Zero GHG emission world for future generations.

Post # 2 – Trends in Adult Education- Jan. 16th, 2023

Here is a link to a Forbes story on the future of Education

“The Next Frontier Of Education”

This is an article highlighting the trends in education brought on by the advancement and accessibility of technology. These trends were further advanced by the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic required everyone to adapt and evolve, which created an accelerated acceptance of remote learning. It is interesting to see how online courses are not only often more affordable and accessible than traditional education models, but they also allow the learner to personalize their learning experience. I agree that you do not need to be in a classroom for hours a day to learn new skills. Online students are able to receive an educational experience that is individualized to their needs and schedules, and is comparable in quality to the traditional classroom.

Assignment # 3 - Podcast - Feb. 19th, 2023

Hello! Here is a link to my Cognitive Science Podcast...

Here is a link to the original article...

Post # 3 – PIDP 3100 - Feb. 19th, 2023

I had an interesting conversation with my PIDP learning partner Rakesh Pandit regarding the latest trends in our respective fields.

Rakesh is an instructor in the field of Bioinformatics and we had a discussion regarding the developments in technology that have an effect on data analytics.

Because Bioinformatics is a technology intensive field there are specific logistic challenges related to large file sizes, data management, data storage.

I learned that the field of Bioinformatics relies on running simulations, researching the latest trends in Biology as well as differences between working with the public and private sector.

Our conversation was an excellent opportunity to learn more about the roles and trends that another PIDP student has as an instructor in their field.

PIDP 3260 Week # 2 Post - Nov. 17th, 2023

My Professional Identity

A personal value that I hold as an instructor is transparency, ensuring clear expectations for my students. Open and honest communication fosters confidence within the class, demonstrating my commitment to their success.

As a professional value, I appreciate feedback from my class about the effectiveness of my lessons and what resonates with students. Maintaining a growth mindset enables me to reflect on my teaching methods and to improve the delivery of my course material.

Through my teaching experience, I have come to understand that my role is that of a facilitator of learning. I try my best to enable my students' success, but ultimately, the responsibility for achieving learning outcomes lies with each individual.

PIDP 3260 Week # 3 Post - Nov. 23rd, 2023

Core Assumptions of Skillful Teaching

An idea that resonated with me from Chapter 2, was that skillful teachers adopt a critically reflective stance towards their practice.  I agree with Brookfield that it is important to model critical thinking in front of students by acting in critically reflective ways. 

Most instructors that I have spoken with consistently agree that critical thinking is a valuable skill to have, but it can be a difficult task to encourage students to engage in.

I feel that I can demonstrate critical thinking to my students by showing that I am constantly working to improve my classes by evaluating and analyzing what lessons are effective, and then making judgements and informed decisions based on what I’ve learned.

PIDP 3260 Week # 4 Post - Dec. 2nd, 2023

Exercising Teacher Power Responsibly

An idea that resonated with me from Chapter 18, revolves around the significance of transparency in the dynamics between students and teachers. I agree with Brookfield that students are more likely to perceive a teacher's behavior as ethical when there is a clear understanding of grading criteria and a thorough explanation of learning outcomes and course agenda.

Transparency plays a pivotal role in establishing a genuine connection with my students and I feel that my class can recognize my authenticity when I make the effort to explain my choices of assignments and assessments.

My commitment to transparency is a demonstration of ethical teaching, where open communication encourages a vibrant and engaged learning environment.

PIDP 3260 Week # 5 Post - Dec. 7th, 2023

Understanding Students' Resistance to Learning

After reflecting on Chapter 16, I agree with Brookfield's idea that students often resist learning when they perceive the content as irrelevant to their goals. Teaching a subject with a diverse range of skill sets and work experience levels makes it challenging to craft course materials that engage the entire class.

Some students perceive certain topics as irrelevant, particularly when the material seems disconnected from the type of work their employers engage in. When I acknowledge this perspective, I understand that not all assignments will resonate with every student.

Although my activities may not align with each learner's expectations, I try to create connections between the different elements of the course material and build an inclusive learning environment that respects each student's unique perspectives.

PIDP 3260 Week # 6 Post - Dec. 13th, 2023

My Professional Goals

Over the next five years, my professional goals involve completing a series of training programs I am currently enrolled in, then expanding the number of courses that I instruct at my institution. My immediate focus is finishing the remaining four courses of the PIDP program by spring 2024, followed by obtaining Advanced Certification in the Automated Controls Installation and Maintenance program at the British Columbia Institute of Technology by late 2024.

In 2025-2026, my plan is to advance my training in power engineering and upgrade my certification to a 3rd Class Power Engineer through Technical Safety BC. After completing my certifications, my long-term goal is to continue developing my skills and work towards training as an instructor in these subjects.

PIDP 3260 Week # 7 Post - Dec. 19th, 2023

How AI Could Save (Not Destroy) Education

This is a fascinating TED talk by Sal Khan from Khan Academy about the future of education using generative AI tools like ChatGPT. Khan's focus is not on students using AI to easily complete assignments without actually learning anything; instead, he envisions an incredibly positive transformation in education, unlike anything we have seen before.

Every student will have a powerful AI personal tutor that can adapt to their personal preferences and unique learning style, and every teacher will have a powerful AI teacher’s assistant that can adapt to their personal preferences and unique instructional style.

PIDP 3260 Week # 8 Post - Dec. 26th, 2023

Ongoing Learning

An ongoing learning and career development opportunity that I am interested in pursuing after completing the PIDP course, is completing my advanced certification in Automated Controls and Installation and Maintenance (ACIM) at my institution.

Upon successful completion of the ACIM program, I am looking forward to becoming a part-time instructor in this subject. The ACIM program offers a flexible learning schedule, featuring part-time evening and weekend courses with a combination of in-class and online components. This flexibility is tailored to accommodate students who are working full-time, making it equally convenient for instructors who are engaged in full-time employment.

IMO-EU Maritime Technology Cooperation Centre Network Project Extended

A key project to support the reduction of GHG emissions from shipping in developing countries through regional maritime technology cooperation centres has been extended to March 2022. This will allow this strategic project to continue its decarbonisation pilot projects and training and work towards financial sustainability in the longer term.

The Global MTCC Network (GMN) Project is implemented by IMO and funded by the European Union, to improve energy efficiency in the maritime sector, by supporting developing regions in the move towards maritime decarbonization.

This supports the implementation of the Initial IMO Strategy for the reduction of GHG emissions from shipping.

Image Credits: imo.org

Since their establishment in 2017, four Maritime Technology Cooperation Centres (MTCCs) – based in Africa, Asia, the Caribbean and the Pacific – have established strong regional networks and are becoming important regional players, with technical expertise in the field of maritime energy efficiency and greenhouse gas emissions from shipping.

The Centres have undertaken a range of pilot projects, completed port energy audits and established branch offices in three countries.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the MTCCs have developed alternative plans and ensured continued engagement with stakeholders, including 10 events held during 2020.

The pilot projects range from data collection to installation of solar power on two ferries in the Pacific. The project has developed an online Training Programme on Maritime Energy Management and the Implementation of MARPOL Annex VI (MTCC Caribbean). MTCC Asia developed an E-learning Course on energy efficiency.

Image Credits: imo.org

In the first quarter of 2021, activities included regional maritime technology conferences and exhibitions for the Caribbean and Africa; an MTCC-Africa sulphur limit implementation workshop organised in collaboration with the World Maritime University (WMU) and Danish Maritime; and a regional ship technology conference organised by MTCC-Asia.

In the next few months, the GMN will deliver webinars for the Caribbean, organise industry focused engagement in the Pacific and develop and deliver a global webinar series on maritime technology barriers and opportunities.

The MTCCs are also linked to other projects implemented by IMO to help drive forward the changes which are required to decarbonize shipping. The MTCCs boost resources to support local and regional partners.

    Q: I’m completely new to internet marketing, won’t this all be too complicated for me?

​A: Not at all. We start completely from scratch assuming no knowledge whatsoever. I show you everything (down to which buttons to press) in order to get your business off the ground. I explain it all in plain, easy to understand English. There ARE more advanced sections of the members area but again, we build up to this step-by-step so you’ll never be left wondering what to do.

​Q: Getting traffic is my biggest challenge, I need more visitors to my website!

A: I know from my own experience and from talking with others that traffic can be one of the most overwhelming aspects of building your business. For this reason we have an entire section called “Real Traffic” where I show you (using many real life examples) of how to do this properly, quickly and effectively. On top of that we have several special guests (real people making real money online) who share the EXACT strategies, tactics and results of their own traffic generating techniques. In short, I’ve got you covered on this – you’ll love it!

Q: What if I don’t like Gain Higher Ground Membership?

A: Even though 98.1% of people continue with their membership I understand that there will always be a small number who don’t for whatever reason. This is fine – you can cancel at ANY time, quickly and easily.

Q: I’m not technical, can I really do this?

A: Absolutely! These days almost zero technical knowledge is required to build a web business. I don’t know how to code a web page and I don’t want to know either. 95% of what you’ll need to do to build you business is “point and click” so it is very easy. For the other 5% there is a module called “The Technical Toolbox” where I show you exactly in real time on-screen how to perform the slightly more fiddly things like add email accounts to your website, transfer domains, “cloaking” your affiliate links, FTP and so on. Non-technical members have already been amazed at how straight forward it is. You’ll be fine, seriously.

Q: What are the experiences of existing members?

A: Please see the comments and testimonials on this page (scroll up and down!).

Q: I don’t know which online niche to choose, will GHG Membership help?

A: As with everything in internet marketing, there is a clear ROADMAP to finding a niche. You just need to know it and follow the steps. One you’re inside the members area I show you exactly how to find the right niche. This is covered in “15 Steps To Success” (the crash course business building blueprint) and also another section of the site called “Profitable Niches”. There are real life examples, you don’t need to be an expert and there is a profitable niche for everyone, including you! Don’t wait for the “perfect” niche to find you, go and grab it for yourself!

Q: How much support will I get?

A: As much as you need. I prioritise my time for all GHG Members. We have a forum inside the site where you can communicate with other members and me. But also you’ll get direct access to me as well. I’m here to help you every step of the way.​

Q: Isn’t the content of GHG Membership just PLR (Private Label Rights) or rehashed from elsewhere on the web?

A: No. All the content (100% and no less) is completely original and has been created by me personally. You won’t find any of the members area content ANYWHERE else online or offline.

Q: Why are you offering a $5 trial, won’t people just rip you off?

A: The refund rate (since October 2011 when GHG Membership was launched) is EXTREMELY low. It’s currently 1.85% which when you consider most internet marketing products have refund rates of 30-50% is really amazing. 98.1% of existing Gain Higher Ground Members choose to stay on purely because of the outstanding training, community and support. So this is why I am confident to run a $5 trial without people taking advantage (well, there will always be some but that’s fine I don’t really mind!).

Q: Aren’t you just another faceless “guru” Rob?

A: No – I’m a real person! I’m based in North Cornwall, England. Email me at support [at] gainhighergroundmembership.com. Get in touch anytime!

Q: Can’t you only make money by teaching others how to make money online?

A: No! I wrote about this a while back on my blog actually. Inside the members area we have interviews and archived live training sessions with real people making real money in all kinds of different niches: Cooking, magic (seriously!), fitness, offline local businesses, financial stock trading and so on. There is a niche for everyone, including YOU!

Q: Do you cover affiliate marketing?

A: Yes, in fact this is exactly what we begin with. Promoting other people’s products in return for commission is one of the fastest ways to get started online. This is because you don’t have to worry about creating products, taking payments, issuing refunds or customer support. We cover affiliate marketing in detail.

Q: I want to create my own products to sell online. Will GHG Membership help?

A: Yes, Absolutely! The members area contains a section called “The Content Factory” and also “Product Creation Central”. I show you real examples and explain everything you need to do in order to create profitable eBooks, videos and Audio content and products. I’ve made a lot of money doing all of this myself so I show you the shortcuts and how to get it done in a fun and quick way.

Q: I’ve tried and tried with internet marketing but NOTHING has worked. Why will this be different?

A: This is unfortunately a common situation. Information overload is a massive problem. Also, many of the courses and training “systems” on the internet are outdated or created by people who haven’t really had success themselves (they “fake it until they make it”). I’ve been successful online and know exactly what it’s like when you start out. I break everything down into a step-by-step roadmap and explain everything in plain, easy to understand, English.

Climate communication: A PR stunt backfires and leads to skepticism on climate issues

Nikki Henderson, 26, flew to the US from Britain to sail the 48-foot catamaran. The journey was meant to save about two or three tons of CO2 emissions, but her flight likely produced that amount.

Source: Yacht skipper wiped out carbon emissions saved by Greta Thunberg’s sail across the Atlantic | Daily Mail Online

Previously: At least two crew members flew across the Atlantic to support her yacht travel to North America.

Greta Thunberg’s carbon footprint, traveling throughout the world on multi-million $ crewed yachts, and rail, is extremely large. She seems oblivious to her world of privilege while asserting “people are already dying”. Many say it is wrong to correct her because she is a youth and her messaging is for a good cause. Consequently, most of her efforts go unchallenged by the adults in the room. Those that question are dismissed as misogynistic, colonial, patriarchal, racist deniers (her own words).

When the propaganda target sees obvious errors in communications, they turn off the entire subject of climate change. Hysterical, untrue, dystopian, apocalyptic climate scenarios promoted by the media are a turn off and cause the target to ignore the messages.  It is the equivalent of Never Cry Wolf. When advocates for climate action act hypocritically, this leads to skepticism.

The response from climate change activists has been to engage in more hysterical claims even though, empirically, that strategy is not working.

More posts on the use of dystopian and hysterical climate communications are coming soon – including from an environmental activist, and from a leader in global health, who point to the communication mistakes made by climate activists (I am not the only one noticing the climate communications problem).

Background

From the Copenhagen Consensus Center deaths from climate related catastrophes reached an all time low in 2017 with data from the International Disaster Database. Also see this but read the footnotes (definitions changed).

News report on the crossing from Europe to North America (lost the link to this):

Carbon Offsets

Take a look online at buying carbon offsets. It’s a an activity subject to scams, unfortunately, and many are not producing verifiable results. Some, for example, pay land owners not to cut down trees – that they were probably not going to cut down anyway. Some have paid to plant trees (but see this), and some pay to install solar PV or take other positive steps. Carbon offsets have become a way for the elite to fly around the world excessively while virtuously saying they have zero impact (if they didn’t fly and bought carbon offsets, they would have a positive impact).

Thunberg traveled to the U.S. by boat, and then by train and vehicles to South America. Because this travel took months, she had to depart early for her destination in Chile. In the interim, riots in Chile resulted in the cancellation of the COP25 summit and relocating it to Spain. She now had to reverse course and travel back to Europe. Because of her mode of travel, she was not able to wait for confirmation that the summit meeting would occur, and made a wasted trip, generating much CO2 emissions from her ground travel, all of which was unnecessary. She could have just flown and bought carbon credits – in fact, that is supposedly what the various crew members did since many of them flew. The unnecessary traveling by boat was an orchestrated public relations stunt.

Thunberg tells us “the climate crisis is not” about the environment. It is a social movement with elements having nothing to do with climate or science:

After all, the climate crisis is not just about the environment. It is a crisis of human rights, of justice, and of political will. Colonial, racist, and patriarchal systems of oppression have created and fueled it. We need to dismantle them all. Our political leaders can no longer shirk their responsibilities.

This dilutes the message, rather significantly and may cause opposition by those who have been labeled (probably incorrectly).

She believes only government can solve the “climate crisis”, likely unaware that U.S. electric utilities have cut their greenhouse gas emissions by 40% since 2005, or that private sector entrepreneurs like Elon Musk are developing actual solutions, plus many more examples.

If you disagree with her, you are a misogynist, a denier (using the propaganda methods of name calling) or merely an old white guy. Facts and logic are the constructs of the white patriarchy. There is no possibility of discussion; rational thinking is a form of oppression. If you mention this, you are a denier, misogynist and a Nazi.

This is basically a Kafka Trap. Any questioning of their thesis is confirmation that you are guilty as charged. There is no possible defense.

As we will see in a future post, this argumentative approach leads to adopting policies that are ineffective and can make the situation worse (for example, the U.S. government issued nutrition guidelines in 1980, widely promoted and adopted, that made the problems worse. You can see what Thunberg would have been outraged about in the 1970s because of what the scientists were then saying.)

Standard Disclaimer Applies: How to Do Climate Communications – Never Cry Wolf

As I previously wrote

The Nature Conservancy should focus on facts of atmospheric CO2 levels rising, land and sea surface temperature anomalies, ice pack changes, ocean Ph and sea level change (IPCC Synthesis Report, Figure SPM.1) – as reported by reputable scientific bodies, but they did not. Instead they went straight for hyperbole and making untrue claims to promote fear and hysteria.

or

Stick with the facts of CO2 rising, sea level ice and temperature changes, ice mass changes or risk tuning all of us out. Shrill terminology designed to create emotional outrage and responses is a total turn off.

and

The facts are sufficient. The impacts of untrue propaganda hysteria, on the other hand, are to turn off the target completely. We have learned nothing from the parable of the boy who repeatedly cried Wolf!

The propaganda messaging methods in use are leading to public opinions that are not based in facts, logic or evidence. In the U.S. 51% of those aged 18-34 believe humanity may become extinct within 10-15 years, even though there is zero evidence to support such a conclusion. This disconnect between belief and reality risks the potential for major backlash against taking action to reduce CO2-equivalent effects on climate.

Some suggest focusing on solutions and opportunities – instead of unrealistic, dystopian catastrophes designed primarily as click-bait – would be a more effective and positive way forward for climate communications. Instead, we get intense negativity – and falsehoods – that have led to children and adults to seek mental health treatment for induced anxiety.

Personal Notes on Climate Realism

We are taking direct actions to reduce our CO2-equivalent emissions. In late 2019, we are spending $18,000 (before credits) to install a solar PV array that will reduce our home’s annual grid-provided electricity to net zero (likely less). Our utility generates 56% of its electricity by burning coal and 14% by burning natural gas (about half the emissions of coal). Solar PV directly cuts those GHG emissions.

We are spending over $5,000 to upgrade 40 year old R-19 attic insulation (which has settled such that it is less than that) to R-49 building code standards. For an all electric house, we currently use 1/3d the amount of electricity of similar homes. We heat using locally sourced wood pellets and our home is cold most every winter day. I drive a Honda Fit averaging about 42 mpg. While spending an amount similar to a low end electric vehicle, our solar and attic upgrades we will have a far greater reduction in CO2 emissions than buying an EV. About half of an EV’s lifetime CO2 emissions occur during its manufacturing and if you live where your electricity is generated by burning coal, your overall CO2 emissions reductions are small. While EVs will generally reduce CO2 emissions, for many they are primarily a virtue signaling device (a survey by Volvo found about 75% of purchasers said this, and selected an EV because paradoxically it “helps them to feel better about making less environmentally conscious decisions in “other areas of life.”.)

Because of unseen energy use during manufacturing, your most environmentally friendly step is to keep driving your existing fuel efficient, gas-powered vehicle, as along as possible.

I post this at the end of each climate communications post because merely asking any questions about climate change results in being called a climate denier or a Nazi.

Call me a climate realist but don’t call me a denier or a Nazi.

Estimating carbon footprint using GHG protocol's guidelines

In order to prepare the carbon footprint of a company most of the consultants are using greenhouse gas protocol. GHG protocol is not for profit organization that sets the greenhouse gas emission standards. it was recently found that more than 90% of the fortune 500 companies that are sending reports to CDP utilize GHG protocol for their carbon footprint estimation. The GHG protocol provides globally most widely used and accepted greenhouse gas accounting and managing standard.

The GHG protocol also provides several tools that enables organization to develop their carbon footprint. The GHG protocol has also started offering different training services. There are multiple online learning courses on different aspects of GHG protocol and carbon footprint.

GHG protocol standards are designed to provide a methodology for organization, governments, individuals and other entities to calculate their carbon footprint through measurement and reporting. In the year 2016 more than 90% of the fortune 500 companies responded to the CDP using the greenhouse gas protocol either directly or indirectly. The GHG protocol has been providing a platform for almost all the greenhouse gas reporting programs currently existing globally. The GHG protocol standard have become so popular because of its high reach two stakeholders and consultation that happens while developing these guidelines. It is also supported by institutes such as WRI and WBCSD. The greenhouse gas protocol has published several standards. These standards are:

1. Corporate Standard: The greenhouse gas protocols corporate accounting and reporting standards provide the details and the requirement along with guidelines for organizations and corporates such as NGOs, government agencies, universities, banks etc who are willing to prepare greenhouse gas inventory or the carbon footprint of their operations. Then there is another guideline provide by GHG protocol.

2. GHG protocol for cities: This is also called as global protocol for community-scale greenhouse gas emission inventory. This guideline provides a methodology for monitoring accounting and reporting the emissions or the carbon footprint from a community and a city.  The another standard is provided below.

3. Mitigation gold standard: the greenhouse gas protocol mitigation goal standard issues guidance on designing national and state level mitigation goals. It also provides standard approach for evaluating the progress and also on reporting the progress towards achieving the goals on carbon reduction.  The next standard that has been developed by GHG protocol is provided below.

4. Corporate Value Chain Standard: This corporate value chain standards are mostly for scope 3 emission. And it allows organizations to evaluate the entire supply chain emission impact. And it also helps them to identify the area where they should focus on activities that will result in reducing greenhouse gas emissions or the carbon footprint .

5. Policy and action standard: The greenhouse gas protocol policy and action standard issue a methodology and approach for estimating the carbon footprint and effect because of the policy and action that has been taken by mostly the government bodies.

6. Product Standard: The product standard has been used widely to understand the lifecycle of greenhouse gas emission of the product. It also helps one to understand where is the GHG hotspot so that we can focus our effort in reducing GHG intensity of the product. This is one of the ways how people can start manufacturing sustainable products.

7. Project protocol: The greenhouse gas protocol has developed this project protocol that is very comprehensive. This project protocol helps in estimating the carbon footprint or the greenhouse gas benefits of the project that result in reduction of greenhouse gas emission.

HFC Go-Train: Why it is Not The Solution

As we know, prior to the 2018 Ontario provincial election, Kathleen Wynne, the former premier of Ontario, declared a plan for Toronto’s Go Transit system--to incorporate hydrogen fuel cell technology into new go-trains. As one can see in the title, I am not terribly fond of the idea, for several reasons.

    The Go-Trains of today.

  First, there is the environmental factor. Although HFC (hydrogen fuel cell) technology was originally conceived to cut down on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, it now appears that current extraction methods have nullified this advantage.

The most common method of hydrogen extraction is from methane, and in that method,for every 3 hydrogen molecules (2 hydrogen atoms for each molecule) produced there is at least 1 CO2 molecule produced. This essentially means that hydrogen fuel has a CO2 emission of approximately 7.333 times their own weight, since CO2 has a weight of 44 grams per mole and hydrogen 2 grams per mole, by current standards.

 The method mentioned in the above paragraph is the most carbon-efficient method of hydrogen extraction currently available commercially.

In perspective, gasoline and diesel has a CO2 emission of 2 to 3 kg per liter. EVs (electric vehicles), which are portrayed as the archenemy of HFC vehicles, have lower emissions because of electric generation efficiency--A gas turbine has up to 6 times more efficiency than a gasoline engine upon power generation, and a Tesla, according to the book Elon Musk, has 60% overall efficiency, which means that a HFC vehicle has far more CO2 emissions per kg of fuel than an EV or even the gasoline vehicles that it is aiming to replace, essentially defeating its biggest purpose.

    EVs are often seen as the archenemy of HFC vehicles.

 Of course, a new method for hydrogen fuel generation is under development, namely electrolysis of water with electricity supplied by renewable sources, but this method has a fatal error: the cost of the required infrastructure, the speed of the implementation of such infrastructure and the amount of land used are all very large, and the same amount of electricity can very well be used on electrified transportation methods with much less additional work.

  The infrastructure requirements of a hydrogen network is very large.

Secondly, there is the factor of budget. In execution, fuel cells might work in cars, but in trains, there is a much easier solution. One of the primary reasons that rail-based transportation is much easier to be electrified than cars is that they do not need batteries, but instead the electricity can be conducted by an electrified third rail or an overhead wire, like in subways and streetcars. It is definitely true that the placement of overhead wires and poles will cost money, but setting up an extensive infrastructure of hydrogen generation plants, pipelines and storages will be even more expensive, considering that hydrogen can embrittle most any metal in a process called “hydrogen infiltration”, making the metal storage tanks and pipelines more maintenance-intensive then, say, a gas pipeline. The trains themselves would not need a storage device on their roofs, making them less expensive to manufacture, and while HFC vehicles can be fueled in less than 20 minutes, the above method does not need refueling, since it is always connected to the power source.

Finally, there is the factor of performance. If hydrogen fuel cells give vastly or considerably more performance than other alternatives, than they are a reasonable choice, but the fact remains that HFC go-trains neither have nor need that kind of power differential. In fact, grid electricity is currently vastly better than HFCs in terms of train speed, range and power output: all current bullet trains use grid electricity because of these advantages.

 Modern bullet trains can exceed 300 km/hour of speed even when fully loaded.

    In conclusion, HFC go-trains are largely pointless and are outclassed by their electric counterparts in all aspects, be it performance, logistics or cost. As a result, it will be online much sooner and much more cheaply,  at no disadvantage to the customers.

Trumping Climate Change Won’t Stop Corporate Self-Interest and Progress on Sustainability

The Trump withdrawal from the Paris Agreement might slow but will never stymie progress on climate change – business leaders will make sure of that!

There is an important profit motive to staying in the game.  A leadership role insures market share, builds brand and reputation, attracts the best and brightest employees, protects supply chains.  More than 1000 political, corporate and academic leaders signed the “We Are Still In” declaration, pledging to help meet America’s Paris Agreement emissions target.  Participants include California and New York – global powerhouses with huge GDPs: California’s larger than India’s; New York’s larger than South Korea. 

Evidence is in action.  The Centre for Sustainability and Excellence (CSE) case studies, used to train global corporate executives from the Fortune Global 500, cross industry and government sectors.  Even at the state level, CSE developed a case study focusing on carbon reduction with the Treasury Office of the State of Illinois.  Under the leadership of Nikos Avlonas, award-winning author of the best-seller Practical Sustainability Strategies (Wiley, 2014), CSE has undertaken research on Silicon Valley and developed case studies covering: Sustainability and Materiality Assessment; Sustainability Strategies and Reporting; External Verification and Assurance; SROI and Stakeholder Engagement: LCA, Supply Chain  and Green Buildings. 

This research supports findings that major corporations have contributed to the $8.1 trillion investment in green technologies since 2007 (Ethical Markets Media), side by side with private and institutional investors, a decisive market signal that the transition to a clean economy is inevitable.  The case studies demonstrate that a sustainable global economy allows businesses to:

Leverage low-carbon market opportunities;

Benefit from cross-border policy coherence, particularly in new markets;

Be recognized as leaders among stakeholders;

Increase investor confidence by managing climate risks;

Align investments to long-term policy.

More than 400 institutional investors with US $24 trillion of assets under management encourage national leaders to implement the Paris Agreement into national law.  Even the corporate savvy in the Trump administration support climate change action: Rex Tillerson, formerly of Exxon; Gary Cohn of Goldman Sachs, daughter Ivanka and son-in-law Jared Kushner.  Disney’s CEO Robert Iger and Tesla’s CEO Elon Musk left Trump’s economic advisory council in protest. 

Corporate leaders are taking the initiative with or without government leadership.  Michael Terrell confirms Google has signed contracts for over 2 Gigawatts of renewable energy, making Google “the largest corporate renewable energy purchaser in the world,” says Terrell.  Google has committed over $2.5 billion of capital in investments in renewable energy projects.  

Companies recognize that addressing the effects of climate change is in their best interest.  Chief Sustainability Officer Steve Howard says IKEA is already feeling the effects of extreme weather events, from floods in Asia disrupting supply chains to Hurricane Sandy affecting its business by $9 million dollars.  IKEA is also concerned with the social impacts on employees and their communities.

While chief executives from major US companies such as Coca-Cola, Dow Chemical, General Electric, Johnson & Johnson, Unilever and Virgin penned a letter expressing strong support for US adherence to Paris Climate Agreement, small businesses provide more than half of the jobs in the United States.  Sadly, almost 40 percent never recover when hit by an extreme weather disaster.  The American Sustainable Business Council represents these voices to the US government. 

And even the US government isn’t completely out of the effort.  At the May 2017 intersessional climate talks in Bonn, Germany, a US team-member co-facilitated with China the transparency discussion, an important topic showing significant progress and one of the building blocks of the Paris Agreement.

The CSE trainings in New York and Toronto will address these issues specifically. CSE has trained North American executives from Medline, Heineken, Under Armor, LSI, AMB, as well as from around the world. 

Modules on GHG emissions and carbon footprint reduction provide foundational knowledge needed to move on climate change.  The next U.S. training is in New York City, September 28-29, led by Nikos Avlonas. Visit the website for other trainings around the world or for online courses offered by the Sustainability Academy.

I explain it all in plain, easy to understand English. There ARE more advanced sections of the members area but again, we build up to this step-by-step so you’ll never be left wondering what to do.

​Q: Getting traffic is my biggest challenge, I need more visitors to my website!

A: I know from my own experience and from talking with others that traffic can be one of the most overwhelming aspects of building your business. For this reason we have an entire section called “Real Traffic” where I show you (using many real life examples) of how to do this properly, quickly and effectively. On top of that we have several special guests (real people making real money online) who share the EXACT strategies, tactics and results of their own traffic generating techniques. In short, I’ve got you covered on this – you’ll love it!

Q: What if I don’t like Gain Higher Ground Membership?

A: Even though 98.1% of people continue with their membership I understand that there will always be a small number who don’t for whatever reason. This is fine – you can cancel at ANY time, quickly and easily.

Q: I’m not technical, can I really do this?

A: Absolutely! These days almost zero technical knowledge is required to build a web business. I don’t know how to code a web page and I don’t want to know either. 95% of what you’ll need to do to build you business is “point and click” so it is very easy. For the other 5% there is a module called “The Technical Toolbox” where I show you exactly in real time on-screen how to perform the slightly more fiddly things like add email accounts to your website, transfer domains, “cloaking” your affiliate links, FTP and so on. Non-technical members have already been amazed at how straight forward it is. You’ll be fine, seriously.

Q: What are the experiences of existing members?

A: Please see the comments and testimonials on this page (scroll up and down!).

Q: I don’t know which online niche to choose, will GHG Membership help?

A: As with everything in internet marketing, there is a clear ROADMAP to finding a niche. You just need to know it and follow the steps. One you’re inside the members area I show you exactly how to find the right niche. This is covered in “15 Steps To Success” (the crash course business building blueprint) and also another section of the site called “Profitable Niches”. There are real life examples, you don’t need to be an expert and there is a profitable niche for everyone, including you! Don’t wait for the “perfect” niche to find you, go and grab it for yourself!

Q: How much support will I get?

A: As much as you need. I prioritise my time for all GHG Members. We have a forum inside the site where you can communicate with other members and me. But also you’ll get direct access to me as well. I’m here to help you every step of the way.​

Q: Isn’t the content of GHG Membership just PLR (Private Label Rights) or rehashed from elsewhere on the web?

A: No. All the content (100% and no less) is completely original and has been created by me personally. You won’t find any of the members area content ANYWHERE else online or offline.

Q: Why are you offering a $5 trial, won’t people just rip you off?

A: The refund rate (since October 2011 when GHG Membership was launched) is EXTREMELY low. It’s currently 1.85% which when you consider most internet marketing products have refund rates of 30-50% is really amazing. 98.1% of existing Gain Higher Ground Members choose to stay on purely because of the outstanding training, community and support. So this is why I am confident to run a $5 trial without people taking advantage (well, there will always be some but that’s fine I don’t really mind!).

Q: Aren’t you just another faceless “guru” Rob?

A: No – I’m a real person! I’m based in North Cornwall, England. Email me at support [at] gainhighergroundmembership.com. Get in touch anytime!

Q: Can’t you only make money by teaching others how to make money online?

A: No! I wrote about this a while back on my blog actually. Inside the members area we have interviews and archived live training sessions with real people making real money in all kinds of different niches: Cooking, magic (seriously!), fitness, offline local businesses, financial stock trading and so on. There is a niche for everyone, including YOU!

Q: Do you cover affiliate marketing?

A: Yes, in fact this is exactly what we begin with. Promoting other people’s products in return for commission is one of the fastest ways to get started online. This is because you don’t have to worry about creating products, taking payments, issuing refunds or customer support. We cover affiliate marketing in detail.

Q: I want to create my own products to sell online. Will GHG Membership help?

A: Yes, Absolutely! The members area contains a section called “The Content Factory” and also “Product Creation Central”. I show you real examples and explain everything you need to do in order to create profitable eBooks, videos and Audio content and products. I’ve made a lot of money doing all of this myself so I show you the shortcuts and how to get it done in a fun and quick way.

Q: I’ve tried and tried with internet marketing but NOTHING has worked. Why will this be different?

A: This is unfortunately a common situation. Information overload is a massive problem. Also, many of the courses and training “systems” on the internet are outdated or created by people who haven’t really had success themselves (they “fake it until they make it”). I’ve been successful online and know exactly what it’s like when you start out. I break everything down into a step-by-step roadmap and explain everything in plain, easy to understand, English. Plus remember, you have total support to via the forum and direct from me as well.
