Basically argues that big government is evil but carbon taxes will enable freedom to save us. yes "harvesting" methane is being experimented on - and both China and Russia are competing with the US - to see who can make the most profits in the energy sector. China is exporting Coal Plants so other countries can develop faster. And let's remember that "natural gas" turns out to emit way more methane than the industry had self-reported. Yes back in the early 90s when I was at University of Wisconsin-Madison - I argued with my hippy commune friends taking Ornithology with me - we have enough science - what we need is more activism to change political policies. The problem with the activism approach is there is NO money in it - and if someone does get any money then it's just to shut down the activism - to turn it into "hobnobbing" and glad-handing, etc. So I have seen this all first hand - for example the "democrats" promoted natural gas industry, to "export it" worldwide just as the Chinese are exporting the "coal plants." The Economist featured ExxonMobil's business plan of leveraging oil profits. Clearly the US Empire is set on maintaining the oil petrodollar monopoly (so is targeting Venezuela and Iran - after Iraq and Central Asia). Yes - the Billionaire Brats are literally planning on leaving earth or going deep into underground cities to somehow "survive." It's all really due to a Primate ejaculation addiction physiology - who can be "King of the Hill" (the Edifice Complex as part of the Alchemy of DeNile). Mother Nature will return to the Archaea and Bacteria kingdoms that live much more harmoniously - off of pure biophoton quantum entanglement energy. Maybe some Fungi will survive also. Earth was plunged into its Snowball phase before - now it will plunge into its Fireball phase from the nuclear power plants melting down and whatever nuclear weapon terrorism is unleashed from lack of fresh water over the next 5 years. Yes I realize I am supposed to be taking "cruise ships" and visualizing rainbow unicorn love while my shit is spewed out of the cruise ship. I'm just not as good at the New Age late capitalism thing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Indeed! Natural gas, coal are being promoted as clean energy sources. Both produce CO2 with coal producing far more CO2. Texas apparently has more coal than oil and will be building coal gasification plants. I think Eastman Kodak owns the patents on coal gasification which they somehow acquired from the Nazis. The methane hot spot in the four corners area is cause for serious concern. It can been seen from space. https://www.sanjuancitizens.org/four-corners-methane-hotspot Edited February 17, 2019 by ralis Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm aware there's a lot of nuclear waste kept underground here in the UK. As to the economics of further using radioactive waste for energy down the line aren't we on a dangerous path? I mean wouldn't it be safer to figure out the science before creating vast quantities of extremely dangerous wast? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's my point exactly as all the crap that is used to create much of the stuff in the modern world can be highly toxic. Add to that radioactive substances and it all looks pretty grim for mankind. Of course this could all be part of evolution as man could simply be acting as a catalyst for creating new elements? I think we've created quite a few already although I'm no chemist.

As more is learned and understood humankind will be able to create conditions allowing for the fromantion of other elements or chemicals that would not occur naturally . There have been things formed that were really beyond the scope of control of those that created the conditions allowing them to form. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Primates such as pictured above don't drill for oil, build nuke plants and have no technological means to control their environment. yes Professor Michael Corballis has proven that left-brain dominant language co-evolved with right hand dominant technology. So then around 10,000 years ago then humans got so left-brain dominant that they got "cut off" from Nature. Why? Because the left-brain vagus nerve does not connect to the right side of the brain This is a particular male problem because female mammals have about 10% more oxytocin neurons in the left side of the brain (activated by the vagus nerve) for love bonding with offspring. So then our left-brain language created this fantasy that infinity could be "contained" by geometry symbols - and this developed into "science" as a religion of math.

I'll take your word for that. I generally believe that global warming is happening but why nobody can be certain. Pollution is simpler to understand and is caused by mans activity as a fact.

I have found it difficult to comprehend life but in the end I choose to attempt to follow the way and be a worthy part of existence, as best as possible. And one day it will be over. Jesus, the enemy of the Dao has infiltrated wrapped up in disguise. Time to leave TDB's and go and infiltrate some Christians forums to turn them away from the single God and to follow the Dao.
