			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Despite mounting evidence that climate change is real, there are still people that disregard science and call it a hoax.  There is NO credible evidence that climate change is not real.  The issue is whether scientists can explain it with bulletproof precision.  No, absolutely not.  This isn&#8217;t how science works.  </p>
<p>I blame science illiteracy and poor fact checking by the mass media for why the the general public is more confused and doubtful than ever.  For instance, what&#8217;s the deal with quoting &#8220;experts&#8221; that are bankrolled by the fossil fuel industry?</p>
<p>Regardless, we all need to work to lessen the human foot print on earth. Climate change is only one way how our abuse of our planet is being manifested. Anyone that closes their eyes to the devastation to our environment is delusional!</p>

<p>Clean drinking water in sub-Saharan Africa is sometimes available only about a hundred feet underground.  Even if someone drilled a hole, the rural communities often cannot afford the fuel to run the pumps to bring up the water.</p>
<p>So, the idea here is to install a pump disguised as a merry-go-round.  The more children play on the merry-go-round, the more water is brought up to the surface.  This invention especially benefits young girls who are often sent to fetch a day&#8217;s water from iffy sources at great distances.</p>
<p>For people that say this won&#8217;t work&#8230;they obviously haven&#8217;t spent an afternoon at a playground watching kids play.</p>
