Climate change - how arsed are you?

Too fucking windy though.

The first part of the below tweet suggests disaster, the second part softens the blow a bit,

These guys weren’t the first, but in the grand scheme of things, who cares. It’s a game changer. The big scare of ocean acidification through methane overload, is now conpletely reversable.

Once, there was Buckminster Fuller. Now we have the genius that is Roy Mcalister. He wrote a book about 15 years ago entitled ‘The Solar Hydrogen Civilisation’. 

 

This massive leap forward, is his latest project.

An excellent article about the arrival of the age of the ‘prosumer’ in general, but then I spied the following passage:

*Producing Hydrogen and solid high specific surface homogeneously crystalline Carbon thermo- catalytically from Methane delivers about 50% of its calorific value in Hydrogen and 40% in Carbon. While burning or steam reforming Methane squanders the Carbon-wrapping of Hydrogen Energy into CO2, this sort of Methane carbonization releases Hydrogen under conservation of the Carbon Energy, consequently, using it without throwing it away. To make this tangible one must just envisage that each tonne of CO2 represents thrown away Carbon equivalent to 2.5barrel crude oil Carbon. *

We have the technology to reverse ocean acidification, using the methane to power our world, while producing durable goods for the marketplace.

 

I’m much more positive about the future. There was a catchcry in the 1980s that went ‘Act Local Think Global’.

Could do with some good news after looking at that graph.. unfortunately theirs non to be found this year, thankfully Greta possesses a greater optimism in the people than yours truly..

I'm sure the people who sell - and buy - these are perfectly reasonable, well-balanced and quite charming when you get to know them.

I reckon Trump has a shitload of those. 
 

Greta probably has a few of Trump that she uses for shuriken practice.

You'd think the Met office issuing its first ever heat warning would raise a few environmental questions but watching BBC breakfast this morning they seem to think it's all jolly japers. The world can become hotter than hell but don't worry we've got some feel good clips of dogs enjoying themselves in people's paddling pools.

This kids video is superb,

Fires raging in Greece and Turkey, floods in Germany over the past few weeks, time to literally go Nuclear, for our power and also take the Nuclear option, ban Air travel? Needs must.

If minds and money made a global effort for renewable energy for tidying up the planet to make it the world's number one cause the technology would move as fast as it does when we make a global effort to kill each other. The will isn't there the super rich super powerful care only for themselves and probably have that area on the map circled out that won't suffer too badly.

This is why we can’t have nice things.

We do have nice things and we’re ruining them

It just makes me sad that we are the shittest species on the planet and we’re gonna destroy all the other good species at the same time as ourselves. 
 

It’d be better if we wiped ourselves out now and handed it over to the dolphins while they’ve still got a chance of sorting the rest out.

I'm arsed, but individual human beings make fuck all difference in regards to climate change. Recycling, not eating meat, having a hybrid or electric vehicle, all that's good, but realistically it just serves as ways to make the individual feel they are contributing. The real culprits are states, big business, militaries. They're the ones ruining the environment and have us on a collision course for potential disaster, not the regular Joe who drinks with a plastic straw.

The joy of Capitalism: if you rich enough, you get to own plenty of nice stuff; the only downside is the greatest global extinction for 65 million years. Swings and roundabouts, I suppose.
