I am not so much an academic, as an entrepreneur, I see a problem like the protection of small cities, towns, villages, or rural settlements from climate change with no clear-cut answer to it, and I have to find one. To find a solution, it calls on a number of things I possess: a learning disability, a family history of almost a thousand years, and several previous careers. The learning disability gives me the ability to see what others can not. The flip side is that there are problems with that. The family history lets me think about generations, both in the past and future, much like the time that climate change will take. This project gives me the perspectives from all the other careers I have had before; the first career taught me the logistics of setting up and removing equipment in a bare base environment. The second was as an environmental science research librarian setting up a reference library for a foundation. My third career was as a technician, network manager, and field engineer / system integrator for several
original telecommunications equipment manufacturers. Finally, I volunteered to man informational booths in the exhibit hall at the O’Reilly Open-Source Software Conference (OSCON). For both Ubuntu Linux and LibreOffice for many years making friends in the open-source community. I drew from all these different sources to develop this concept over ten years and do some early testing.

ABSTRACT
This system platform is a cross-breed, of a generic early warning system (EWS) changed to a climate and environmental changes warning system with a digital media reference library and limited communications subsystem. In this data flowchart diagram plate, the Intelligent Aide Climate (IAC) Platform (Linux Ubuntu Hadoop cluster) is broken-down into four logical modules: Input and updates; Number crunching; Digital library and Graphical user interface for client interaction with the system.
If we are to develop, and then operationally deploy systems for civil defense in the age of climate change, then we need to take a long range view of how climate change will affect many generations that will follow us. A basic system that is workable now and can be added on to later as the technology and understanding about climate change develops is needed. At the same time being pragmatic on the work that needs to be done now, on how to blend both recycled low cost PC hardware, in combination with open source software to develop a stable platform.
Adding to this, is how to classify great volumes of both academic and scientific literature by its appropriate value as targeted information to help settlements adjust to a changing environment. The use of targeted information is only one of two ways to fight climate change by hardening human settlements. The other is to encourage vigorous micro-climates linking all natural habitats in and around the IAC deployed system, making it a robust natural environment incorporating both native flora and fauna, and actively supported by the human settlements as a means of active defense against climate change.
