Last month, it was my great pleasure to present to you a full-length interview with Justin Sutton. Hundreds of people listened to it. As the buzz gathered force and other high-traffic blogs invited me to make guest appearances on their platforms to discuss such topics as the millions of environmental refugees who will be displaced by global warming, I came to realize that a follow-up is needed.
At first glance, the Triage Traveler mobile trauma center may appear to lack a global warming aspect. In truth, it has a very large one. During my first 13 months of posting content every Monday, Wednesday and Friday here at Keyboard Culture, the techniques and technologies which I have showcased for the most part mitigate or reverse the effects of global warming. While vital, they leave one aspect of the climate crisis more or less unaddressed.
Because of the damage we have done already and because the world’s generation of greenhouse gas emissions continues to grow, we have doomed ourselves. In other words, while I do not predict the extinction of the human race, life on this planet will be quite a different thing for millions of people in the coming years, vastly different, in fact. How will those people live? By that, I mean to ask, how will they provide for their own basic necessities? Millions of us will be environmental refugees in the coming years. How will we, as a species, deal with this related crisis?
While the Triage Traveler does not solve the whole problem in a single paradigm, it allows us to deal with the onslaught of environmental refugees head-on with a very sustainable platform which can bring hospitals to disaster zones quickly (and with relative ease) without large investments of public funds. Since many of the areas hardest hit by the effects of global warming will be in the developing world, this fact alone makes the Triage Traveler mobile trauma center a vital addition to our technical arsenal.
Next time, I will share with you the second interview I recorded with Justin Sutton. It has a running time of just under 20 minutes and focuses exclusively on the Triage Traveler mobile trauma center. If you missed part one, you can listen to it here.
