A new NASA study confirms that industrial civilization is heading for ecological collapse. This is due not only to an over reaching climatic collapse, peak everything but also to a fascist future of the haves and the have nots. Scientists keep reminding us of the coming cataclysm of runaway greenhouse warming of the planet. Yet we continue to poo poo this because our little Justin Beiber is a star minds refuse to believe them. Thus our tendency to vote in super climate skeptics because they tell us what we want to hear. That science is good when it helps us to cook our food better and have better sex yet it is conveniently bad when we and our capitalist employers want it to be.
It is very obvious we can't turn the juggernaut of convenient ignorance, me first and rampant greed around, in time to avoid the obvious outcome. The power of the oil and coal industries lobbying, along with the Koch brothers, Rupert Murdoch and the Gina Rinehart's and their denialist propaganda campaigns. Plus the populist loonie Tea Party movements with many other cultural, religious and status quo reasons, such as the power of wilful stupidity and ignorance in the num nuts comfortable majority, means we who want change the suicidal direction our world society is heading is being headed off at every turn. Yes there has been success stories such as Germany. But our failures far out reach our success.
We in the ecological movement need to start working towards a plan B. A kind of modern Noah's Ark approach. Yes continue on our activist approach but also start preparing for a future reality of runaway climate change, dead acidified seas and no forests. Norway's seed bank underground vault is a start. Green activists and their scientific brethren, need to try factoring in the worse case scenario and develop plans and actions on how we can rebuild the world. With what's left after the collapse.
Yet I hear you saying if we wait too long the ability to stop the natural negative feedback loops from happening are all but zero. To those who do not know what a natural negative feedback is. Here are two examples. As sea ice melts around the polar ice caps and greenland. The darker open waters are exposed. The lighter coloured ice reflects back sunlight having a positive feedback in making the local area cooler. The darker waters have the opposite effect by absorbing the heat and thus creating a localised negative feedback. Which drives the process of sea ice melt even further.
This is a picture of the actual north pole. In the last couple of years it has become a lake. Where one did not exist before. The tin foil hat brigade beleive its the evil Americans and their to secret harp project, not excessive industrial co2, is responsible. Apparently the yanks are after the jihadist penguin muslim brotherhood. Who are hiding there along with the fairy penguin aliens and the commie pinko branch of the arrisen dolphin marsters. Because according to a certain element in the new age movement they had being happily living with the right wing libertarian arisen dolphin marsters, Mother Mary and Quonlin in a secret star chamber beneath lake Tickie Farter in South America. When they actually bothered to read the new testament and discovered Jesus was not pro capitalism and greed but the very opposite. Thus becoming anti establishment pinko's who had to be expelled. Well they had to find some lake they could go as in the star chambers under other lakes, world wide, existed other arisen masters, such as the arrisen vegan snails, the arrisen, proud to be smelly, fleas and some small lake in Perth had the arrisen human bunghole fleas. Being a relatively new lake it was perfect.
I am no longer calling for plan B try plan C. Deep, deep, deep underground or a satellite city, plan D, hidden in orion's belt, beyond the reach of both the illuminati and their christian fucktard dominionist brethren. A zoo and a city of greenies. I can't see any other way. We will probably have to find another planet because our mother earth will take millions of years to heal. As for the reemergence of life. That will take billions of years or more.
By 2048 our seas will cease to support life, Acidification. Currently and for millions of years 80% of our oxygen came from a group of shell like blue green ague diatrons which live in the top three meters of our world's oceans. As the oceans absorb increasing amounts of Co2 they become more acidic. Resulting in the death of those diatrons. As this process continues by 2048 or even maybe before we will lose 80% of our oxygen supply. Recently in Alaska due to prevailing conditions, resulting in increased localised acidification America lost one of its largest scallop industries, tens of millions of scallops died due to calcium being leached from their shells. In the caribbean currently the lobster industry is suffering because the lobsters and other crustaceans have lost 30% of their shell casings.
We are running out of time. I want to thank a neighbor for a recent lesson. I was utterly stunned. He knew absolutely nothing about the greenhouse effect nor about politics in general and was quite comfortable about that. I sensed he dismissed my worth even as a human being because I apparently am an unemployable pot head. The fact that, other than the occasional party joint, I don't smoke it, was aside the point. He knew that but on discovering I didn't hate refugees proceeded to show me a full on racist email.
Do you ever get the sense that we are wasting our time. To those who truly care. We need to save something. I along with many of you have gone to protest after protest. Handed out how to vote cards for both the greens and labor. Done a lot for the activist community. Being bashed, threatened, vilified and rejected because of our desire to help humanity and indeed all life.
We need to leave, save as many of the little ones as we can. Its time to go. Richard Branson and similar good entranpors, the Norwegian and New Zealand political elites along with maybe South Africa and other mostly european countries are awakening. We need to join them. In fact Branson is exploring the mining of gold in Orion's belt, between Mars and Earth. The gold there is three times the proof of any gold found on earth.
I see a satellite city full of greenies larphing with our fellow creatures as the illuminati, bush family and their dominionist brethren try desperately not to be homosexual and not mastibate because Gods wrath in the form of tornadoes, earthquakes and sea level rises. Will the Koch brothers and co, try to keep a stiff upper lip as their empires crumble into the sea. Will the happy or not so happy dumbs blissfully wonder through their redneck theme parks looking at the plastic dinosaurs and rubber like trees. In what little time they have off in their pittance paying jobs. But at least they can live in a nice whites only suburb.
Time to say good bye and organise plan D.
