How to Fix a Climate Emergency

The governments of the world are such fools. Many times I have written about the hidden costs of burning fossil fuels. Their byproducts don't just pollute and degrade the local infrastructure and health, but impact global health and infrastructure over long time frames. The cost of removing all of the carbon emissions for one year: 150 billion. If only nations had the wisdom to factor that cost in when considering what kind of power plants they want to build. The cost of sequestering the emissions before their release is even higher. One problem that is not addressed by sun shields is the acidification of the oceans driven by rising atmospheric C02. Waiting until the only fish left in the sea are jellyfish and the last coarl reef has died and disintegrated is a mistake. Perhaps someone should get working on a plan to buffer the ocean ph while they are planning to release sulfates into the upper atmosphere. It is sad it has come to this, but I agree that the time for this has come. One other related point of interest is that the huge spike in global temperatures began in the 70s around the same time the clean air acts began removing sulfur and lead emissions into the atmosphere. So in effect we were already doing this since the beginning of the industrial revolution and got a wake up call when we took down the sun shield we had put up at the same time we were putting up our CO2 heat trap.

It's always the same cabal beating the drum about the "climate emergency". It's the ones with something to gain. The politicians who want taxation and control and the ones who have invested in cap and trade. Barack Obama and Al Gore are positioned to make lots of money. Why aren't the Canadians, Japanese, Russians, Chinese and Indians in on this? They aren't going to go down this path and without their participation it's all a big waste. We are being manipulated. You will be giving the government the power to raise taxes and control our activities. If you think the people who deny this sham are all being bought or that a big lobby is behind it you are an idiot. It is your side that is being driven by those things.

Just 26 years ago the oceans were growing far more plant life than today, we should first replenish and restore the ocean pastures. In those 26 years which is when satellites began giving us constant observation of ocean ecosystems we've seen 12% of the plants disappear from the Southern Ocean, 17% from the North Atlantic, 26% from the North Pacific, and 50% from some tropical seas. Before these plants disappeared they fixed and converted 4-5 billion tonnes of CO2 into ocean plants each year. Today the crisis of climate change is said to be 8-10 billion tonnes too much CO2 accumulating in the air and worse acidifying the oceans. Ocean scientists in both private and public roles have studied how to replenish the vital but increasingly missing mineral micro-nutrients that can restore the ocean pastures to their former levels of health so they may once again convert half the human crisis of CO2 into ocean life instead of acid ocean death and climate change. This isn't geoengineering or creation of something new, it's simple and desperately needed restoration and recreation of natures balance. To achieve the goal of tackling half the crisis of CO2 companies like Planktos-Science are working to deliver this technology not in some distant future time but immediately and at a cost of less than 1% of the cost of working to solve the other half of the problem. Replenish and restore the oceans ought to be a cry from every one who cares for this small blue planet. Read more at www.planktos-science.com

Gee, it seems like only 14 years ago that these ignorant scientists were telling us that by 2000 we would all die from a new ice age. Oh wait, it was 14 years ago, on the first official 'Earth Day'. These Bozo's can figure out what the earth is doing let alone we should believe they know how to stop anything. If global warming is real it has been going on since, let me see, that would be the end of the last ICE AGE. Didn't seem to bother any body then or since but money can be made and wealth redistributed. Sounds like a good idea. Too bad Darwin was dead wrong about evolution and the survival of the fittest. Scientists know the truth of the matter too. All this garbage they lay on us is worse than anything AIG, the banks, or the housing industry could ever come up with yet the scientists still tell us how smart they are without so much as a blush of embarrassment. If evolution is true, answer me one simple question. Where are all the homosexuals coming from? If ever a gene was not going to reproduce it would be that one.

Isn`t it simpler just planting fast growing trees? I saw a study (unfortunately I don't remember where) in which the person said an area as big as USA should be planted every year around the world to compensate the new emissions.
This is a huge area, but only if taken as the one solution that will "save us". The problem is and always will be the interests of those involved in the decisions. Geo-engineering, volcano gases, carbon storage, cutting emissions are not good solutions as long as they walk alone down the road.
We must evolve from "money" based societies into something else. Western cultures have evolved from religion based societies into science based societies by allowing "the new ideas" to explain the inexplicable. This probably have caused the change in climate we are facing, but we can do better than this. Emerging markets are not willing to sacrifice their grouth and development just because the climate demands it, and mainly because the "developed" countries didn't care (I prefer the didn't know option) about the climate during the developing phase.
Another point, in emerging countries, the climate issue doesn't sound so bad. I know it because I'm writing from one emerging country. Maybe there should be a bigger effort to socialize the information about this matter without panicking everyone.

You`d think scientists would know that the earth has always gone thru climate changes. Does the ice age ring a bell? Does the desert southwest, Florida, etc being under water ring a bell? Was that caused by manmade carbon polution? There is no such thing as global warming as they explain it. We have maybe a few thousand years of climate records out of the billions of years. The earth is and has always changed on its own. "IF" what they are saying is even remotely true then these so-called scientists are the ones to blame for creating all this crap that is destroying the earth. They are selling but I`m not buying! Well I`m off to burn some vegitation to help accelerate the carbon problem, lol....

Happy Earth Day, everyone. Remember, don't listen to media propaganda, we don't actually have to do a thing, all we have to do is come up with some interstellar travel technology. The way I see it, if we break this one (planet), go to another one. If the other one is already taken, we have guns, and we can take it from them. What we need to develop is:
1) Space techology
2) Weapon technology

Then we're set for maintaining the survival of the glorious Human Empire for generations to come. If a few species die out as a result of our actions, its more proof of Darwanian theory proven correct. Natural selection.
