The Death of Osama bin Laden - An Alternative History

Finished in 2003, this fictional memoir is written from the point of view of an Al-Qaeda fighter and details his personal involvement in a jihad, holy war, against the western powers. The story is told in 2007, as the narrator remembers his 20 years of conflict. Osama bin Laden is involved throughout the story and, while the period from mid-2003 to 2007 is entirely speculative, chapters detailing the formation and development of Al-Qaeda are accurate and based on extensive research. Quotations from The Qur'an are sourced from 'The Meaning of the Glorious Qur'an', an explanatory translation by Mohammad Marmaduke Pickthall, published by the Islamic Cultural Centre, London NW8 7RG. Proclamations and declarations by Al-Qaeda leaders in quotation marks are real. For clarity, dates are given in the western calendar.

About the Author

Gary J. Byrnes: Aviation's Climate Disruptor, Carbon Revolutionary, and the Man Who Dares to Green the Skies

Gary J. Byrnes isn't here to make small talk about sustainability. He's here to rip the bandaid off aviation's biggest problem—carbon—and inject a bold, rebellious, and hemp-fuelled solution straight into the bloodstream of the industry.

As the founder of Tao Climate, Gary is not just another climate advocate throwing jargon at the problem. He's an architect of the future—a relentless innovator hacking the system to prove that aviation doesn't have to be the bad guy in the climate fight. Through cutting-edge AI Space MRV technology, hemp-powered carbon removal, and revolutionary sustainable aviation fuels (SAF), he's crafting a world where planes don't just fly high—they fly clean.

His credentials?

  • TEDx Speaker in the Making (because the world needs to hear how hemp can reverse climate change and rebuild war-torn nations).
  • Founder of Tao Climate, the fintech startup that's smashing greenwashing with hard science and real-time, traceable carbon removal.
  • One of Elon Musk's XPRIZE Carbon Removal Top 100 Innovators, taking on the biggest climate challenge with next-gen tech.
  • Author of The Green Age of Aviation, the book that's kicking down the doors of conventional thinking and lighting a fire under the aviation industry.
  • Serial disruptor, whether it's shaking up publishing, tech, or the way we measure and verify carbon.

Gary's work at Tao Climate is rewriting the rules of the aviation game. His mission? Turn every airport into a carbon-capturing ecosystem. Make hemp the undisputed MVP of carbon removal. Crush the idea that sustainability is just another expense.

If you want to keep flying without burning the planet, you need to follow Gary J. Byrnes. Because the future of aviation isn't just about new engines or shinier planes—it's about rewriting the entire playbook.
