From: Archimedes Plutonium on 9 Jun 2010 02:43 Global Warming in its simple form is merely using the air and atmosphere we breathe as a sewer dump. And with the ever increasing human overpopulation, we add waste of CO2 and poison into the air ever increasingly. Anyone can do a simple experiment to simulate Global Warming by using one's yard as a trash dump. How long can anyone expect to get away with dumping their trash in their yard before it begins to destroy the owner? Not long at all. So humanity has been trashing and polluting the Earth's air longer than recorded history. But there comes a time in passing with modern society and fossil fueled machines that trashing the air that life is dependent upon, catches up with the polluters. Earth is finite and can only hold so much CO2 and other pollutants before all of life is affected. We have reached that point in time where we must clean up our act. For we do have the potential to not only extinct many animal and plant species, but also, in our carelessness and hedonistic and uneducated practices, to extinct ourselves. People commit suicide all the time, and there is no reason to think that a species can commit suicide on itself. Global Warming is very real, and obviously true because it is obvious the ice caps are vanishing and the glaciers are vanishing and that the yearly average temperature for the world is rising. Only a fool denies the facts when given. Only a fool cannot see what is going on. I regret myself for having lived in what is perhaps one of the dirtiest polluted air we breathe century. So dirty is our air we breathe that we have so many air borne diseases of respiration. We even have the highest concentration of mercury compounds in the air we breathe than of any time in recorded history, due mainly to burning of coal. Mercury is probably the main cause of Alzheimers and Autism and many other diseases. But let me get to the heart of this post of what I want to say tonight. There appears to be a pattern emerging as to what the affects of Global Warming will yield if not stopped. The obvious pattern starts with the melting of icecaps and glaciers. So let me put that as the number one starting symptoms: (1) melting of the polar ice caps and the melting of all glaciers to the point where Earth has no permanent snow or ice cover. Another pattern would be obvious in that with increasing global yearly temperature must have increasing bad and terrible weather such as hurricanes, tornadoes. Let me list that as number two. (2) increasing bad horrible weather such as tornadoes and hurricanes. But it is this third one that I do not think many have a conscious awareness of and is perhaps the most alarming and dangerous one if Global Warming is left unchecked. It comes to my attention because of the recent BP oil leak from their offshore platform in the Gulf of Mexico where oil is now very much polluting the ocean's waters around the world. But I do not mean a accident of an oil spill, but rather in global warming, the fossil fuels burnt make the oceans more acidic and make the oceans too hot for life to live. So the worst feature of Global Warming that scares everyone, not just those living on lowland islands with rising sealevel, but should scare everyone, even the most ardent pusher of oil and coal. Is the idea that Global Warming, left unchecked will kill all the life of plants and animals in the oceans, through the combination of acidity and too hot. We already notice our fishing fleet stocks are vastly down compared to a century ago. We attribute this to the overfishing, but if Global Warming continues unabetted, then the animals and plants of the oceans are dying and extincting due to acidity and too hot of ocean water. We see it in the coral reefs. Now I do not know, nor does anyone else, whether humanity can live if the oceans are dead. I would hazard to guess we can move on and through such a tradegy, but that all land animals and land plant life would be reduced if the oceans were to become dead waters. We are linked to the Oceans in so many ways, especially the oxygen we breathe, that if the oceans become dead waters, we are in a serious predicament. The BP spill gives us a forewarning, not from the oil as a poison in the oceans but because of the fossil fuels that heat up the ocean waters in Global Warming and make the oceans acidic. Once we reach a point of acidity and hot water oceans, we may hit that flashpoint where most species in the oceans become extinct. Now I am not an alarmist, but a solver of these problems. What I propose is that we immediately start to tap into Volcanoes for their electric geothermal power. The Hawaii volcanoes can easily support enough electricity stations to power most of the USA for all its energy needs. The only trouble is distribution, but that can be solved because when you think of it, the Hawaii Volcanoes are pertual fires to make electricity. Or tapp into Yellowstone or Mt. St. Helens and there are hundreds of volcanoes around the globe that can make electricity. Volcanoes are clean and renewable and vast energy potential. Volcanoes can easily replace the entire coal, oil, and gas industries. About the only place where we may have to do some creative engineering is how to make airplanes run on electricity. I wonder if we can build battery operated airplanes? Sounds farfetched, but innovations usually start with a farfetched notion. Summary: If Global Warming is not attacked and abetted, its worst effect maybe the rendering of the Oceans as dead water to life. Where we killed the life in the Oceans by our fossil fuel dependency. What we should do is tapp into Volcanoes to make electricity so abundant that we make the fossil fuels obsolete. P. S. in one of my previous posts I asked why the oceans would be more vulnerable to Global Warming than the land environment. One of the reasons is that oceans easily transmitt bad things to them, or spread the harm more easily than the land. Another reason is that Oceans have a tougher time of self cleansing bad things. Land self cleans by rainfall or wind which carries the harmful bad things away and where does it end up? Well it usually ends up in the oceans. So the Oceans are the ultimate waste dump. And that is what Global Warming is all about, the use of the air as a waste dump for CO2 and other bad things, which the Oceans would be the most affected. So most people covering and watching Global Warming have theirs eyes focused on the melting ice caps and glaciers, the increase in bad weather of tornadoes and hurricanes and even the rise in sealevel in the near future, but few are cognizant of perhaps the worst horror in the sequence of events of Global Warming-- the dying out of all the Ocean waters of its life. Global Warming will make the oceans a dead water zone.
