The climate naturally changes with the global evolution of theuniverse. Sun activity increases, and CO2 emissions from volcanoes become weaker. In addition to it, climate changes due to its evolution, and these changes can be sudden andcatastrophic. This climate effect was introduced by mathematician and meteorologist Edward Lorenz in 1963 and is well-known as the "Lorenz attractor." Such sudden climate changes have happened multiple times throughout the history of the Earth. One of the examples is the Little Ice Age. It started in the 14th century, lasted until the19th century, and appeared to be caused by massive volcanic eruptions. To become a true "leader in addressing climate change," Bozeman must achieve noticeable improvements in preparedness for natural disasters, the residents' physical and mental health,and quality of life. Yet, after the city of Bozeman passed a resolution to join the Climate Mayors in 2017 and enforced COVID regulations in 2020, the city experienced a drasticdecline in the quality of life, significant economic losses, and a severe mental health crisis. According to city documents, city commissioners understand that "awareness and education"are essential for successfully implementing sustainability and climate change plans. I have a few questions which I believe the city should answer: 1. Climate Mayors Network was established in 2014. Can you name cities in the networkwhere climate initiatives improved residents' quality of life and created a more equitable and inclusive environment for all? 2. Yellowstone emits about 44 million tons of carbon dioxide per year. Where can we find Bozeman's total estimated CO2 emission compared with Yellowstone? Could youdemonstrate that "clean electricity" in Bozeman will impact the climate in the area? 3. China and India are the major producers of greenhouse gas emissions and globalpollution. China doesn't plan to become carbon neutral until at least 2060, and India until 2070. Where can we find the data on how Climate Mayor's initiatives reduceglobal emissions and how much money it costs Bozeman residents? 4. Climate Vulnerability Assessment and Resiliency Strategy with 100% model agreementestimates that the average annual temperature under the stabilization emissions scenario will increase by 4.5˚F between 2040 and 2069 (+6˚F for business as usual scenario.)National Centers for Environmental Information calculated Montana's trend for 1996 to 2023 as +0.3˚F/Decade, or +0.9˚F total, and +0.8˚F/Decade (2.4˚F total) from 1971 to2000. Would you kindly provide the link to the documents and the names of the researchers who provided you with +4.5˚F and +6˚F estimates? Would these researchersbe willing to forecast the 2024 agriculture season with a 100% model agreement? Accurate forecasts will have a substantial positive economic impact and will be greatlyappreciated. 5. The same document foresees, "Sea-level rise in coastal communities in the United Statesis predicted to increase net migration to Gallatin County up to an estimated 50,000 people... " Currently, the migration to Gallatin County is caused mainly by peopleescaping socialism and by illegal immigrants. Would the researchers who estimated migrations caused by Sea-level rise give the estimated numbers of people fleeing toBozeman to escape the disastrous economic failures of socialism? 6. Where can we find a conceptual design of technology and proof of the reliability ofclean energy sources that would allow Bozeman to produce 100% net clean energy by 2030? What are the estimated costs of redesigning Bozeman homes from gas-operatedheaters to electricity? 7. As heating energy outages in Bozeman may cause life-threatening conditions, thereliability of energy sources is crucial. Where can we find documentation of backup emergency generators necessary for critical infrastructure protection that use 'cleanenergy?' 8. So far, the city keeps silent about cartels operating in Bozeman and about the fact thattwo Bozeman teachers were recently convicted of child sexual exploitation. Can you provide the evidence that climate change and the lack of diversity in Bozeman should bematters of significantly more significant concern for Bozeman residents than drugs and crime?9. By now, it's common knowledge that lockdowns, school closures, forced masks, and vaccinations caused much harm and didn't provide any benefits. What are the citycommissioners' positions on enforcing these regulations despite all the factual evidence provided to them by residents? What are the proposed solutions to reverse the damage?
