Thank you for your contest entry. We have looked at your proposal and found that it contained intriguing elements; however, it has not been reviewed in this first round because it does not address the contest prompt.
Specifically, as of the first review deadline (July 18), this proposal is focused on geo-engineering at a global scale. It does not address the challenges and benefits specific to implementation at the U.S. regional scale, which is the goal of this contest.
We encourage you to review the contest resources page and to keep developing your idea before the August 31 deadline. You can also transfer your proposal to a more relevant contest or to the Proposal Workspace to re-open it, make edits, add collaborators, and even submit it into a future contest. You can do so by logging into your account, opening your proposal, selecting the Admin tab, and clicking "Move proposal" or "Copy proposals."
Reach out to us if you have any questions about how to complete your proposal.
All the best,
2015 Climate CoLab Fellows

Dear Catief,
Thank you for your comment!
This Climate Action Plan Proposal for America along with similar proposals for China, Developing Countries, Europe, India, and Developed Countries are focused on two 'humanitarian' objectives!
(1) Create manageable adaptation to reduce migration within the framework of a workable solution.
(2) Create a local, regional,and global solution based on a proven natural phenomenon that is economical and effective.
Catief, as you are the representative for Climate Co Lab . . have I exhausted every avenue MIT has to offer concerning Cloudtec being laid on the table of neutral discussion and discourse?
I sent Cloudtec to the Google Geoengineering Blog and asked the members to please compare it with those solutions on the table of discussion and discourse.
June 14, 2010, I received an e-mail from the blog owner notifying me I would no longer have access to have my solutions reviewed and compared.
Cloudtec was then sent as an abstract to the American Geophysical Union (AGU) fall meeting in 12/2011.
My friend and mentor on Cloudtec (SRM) was Dr. Eugene 'Gene" Gordon, a graduate of MIT, with over 50 patents and also the supervisor of the 450 R & D innovators at Bell Labs for over 2 decades.
Because of my respect for him, I signed up to Climate Co Lab in 11/16/12 and have submitted several proposals with diversified formats.
Ironically, every workplace submission transferred to the geoengineering contest was distorted 60 to 70%. Also, on one occasion . . I rewrote and submitted the same material 8 times before someone let it remain on the contest site.
To be continued on next comment

About a year before Gene passed on, he told me to always be wary of those who are skilled in the art of exclusion!
In 2013, I was very disappointed to find the MIT Advisor and Judge for the Geoengineering Contest was the co/author on the same Google Geoengineering Blog that denied me access. He summarily dismissed Cloudtec and chose 3 AGU associates to the finals.
In 2014 . . 2 of the three winners were the co-editors of the same Google Geoengineering Blog (one being the advisor and judge of the 2013 contest) that had previously denied me access to the Google Blog.
When researchers at MIT and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, etc. recently proved the Cloudtec theory that was offered to the AGU in 2011 . . where natural small volcanic eruptions have helped neutralize the global temperatures even as the CO2 numbers have increased . . I thought MIT might give Cloudtec the exposure it needed to compete with those solutions pushed by the rich and powerful, who continues to exploit the art of exclusion to the detriment of the masses!
Catief, if MIT and Climate Co Lab do not have a neutral format to ensure that a proven theory which will save many lives . . will have an audience . . please . . have the courtesy to show me the direction I need to follow to find one that will.
Thank you,
Johnnie Buttram

Dear Catief,
Acting upon the feedback of the Climate Co Lab Staff. . the title of this proposal is now "Cooling Climate Change in the United States!"
. . Under re-development . .
Thank you for your time and helpful comments,

Johnie
I applaud your courage and wisdom. Everything under the sun is needed urgently. Those who are skilled in the art of exclusion are needed but that skill needs oversight and great care should be taken.......the obvious is far too often overlooked.
Thanks for what you are doing.

Dear William Freimuth,
I sincerely thank you for your kind words!
On 7/20/2014 I submitted a proposal to Climate Co Lab titled,"Finding Common Ground To Move Forward!"
The above submission was focused on how important it is for innovation and preservation to address and set aside those cavalier and ego driven issues which divide and detract us from doing what is best for our fellow man.
Bill, your comment has helped me to realize you have the uncommon understanding to recognize how important it is for those burdened with the huge responsibility to embrace those meaningful thought processes which could help us better manage our climate change dilemma!
This submission titled, "Cooling Climate Change in the United States!" is focused on "Cloud Whitening" because . .
(1) Credible science researchers believe it is probably Planet Earth's safest and best opportunity to cool our planet until we find the common ground to the use of clean energy.
(2) Making clouds locally does not have to be approved as they dissipate naturally and leave no footprint.
(3) Climate science researchers believe our planet can possibly tolerate twice the present carbon dioxide levels with no upwards temperature change, if we could increase the amount of solar energy reflected back out into space by about 2.0%
As of this writing, I believe "Cloud Whitening" has two options available which could ebb away and help reduce the 2.0% we need to save millions of live and trillions of dollars.
To be continued . .

As a 72 year old researcher and inventor, I believe Cloudtec is Planet Earth's best option to economically and effectively reduce the impacts of climate change.
But as a realist, I also know that British physicist, John Lathem, and Professor of Engineering Design, Stephen Salter, have assembled a 'cloud brightening'team of renown Silicon Valley scientists to design a process to help reflect solar energy back out into space.
I also know that it may require both options to help reduce the 2.0% factor.
It may even require a 3rd option not yet on the table!
But when one/tenth of one percent could be a million lives and billions of dollars . . every option should be evaluated on the neutral table of discussion and discourse as soon as possible.
One thing for sure is . . we are all in this together and time is not on our side! We will win together or lose together!
Bill, once again, thank you for your time and especially your insightful comments.
