[* Can read book free on www.Smashwords.com ] INFORMATION: YOUR PARTICIPATION HERE IS WELCOME! Send comments about polar cities pro or con to the comments section below or email me above address: bikolang@gmail.com I have been working on the Polar Cities Project quietly in Taiwan since 2006, and in 2008 the New York Times profiled the concept on Andrew C. Revkin's DOT EARTH blog, with images done by Deng Cheng-hong, a Taiwanese artist. See www.nytimes.com/dotearth and search window it. In 2012, we were able to produce two books about POLAR CITIES, one a fiction novel by Jim Laughter in Tulsa and the other a non-fiction history of the polar cities idea by Stephan Malone in Florida. Both books are now available for readers online via book ordering sites and also free at smashwords. In addition, I can send a free copy of the books to anyone here who requests one. Just give me a shout! It is my final wish before I die -- and I am going to die soon, heart attack in 2009 and all that -- to see the topic of PLANNING FOR POLAR CITIES appear on the Agenda of future climate change conferences worldwide, be they COP 19 meetings or independent academic forums. So I am inviting you, dear reader here, to participate NOW by sending in your comments about polar cities and how we can start discussing them and planning for them, with no money being spent at all -- just discussions and forum chats. I will tweet this blog post far and wide and hope to attract eyeballs using social media to this ongoing forum here. Welcome! -- Danny Bloom (1949-2032) Director-Founder, The Polar Cities Project (2006 - 3006)
