Climate Change?
'Global warming/Climate Change' is a distraction. It is global destruction we should be worried about, a much BIGGER issue. Take for example the topic of nuclear explosions and their environmental consequences. Plutonium is man made and one of the most toxic to life forms known. The US testing in the Pacific between 47 and 58 was equivalent of 1.6 Hiroshima bombs every day for 12 years! (Source: The Times) And that's just one nation at one site and the dump is currently leaking. As we all know even after 10,000 years plutonium has lost half of its radioactive potency and none of its separate poisonous potential. Meanwhile Fukushima continues to leak like a sieve. Shouldn't we all be talking about THIS?
Hi Julie, Climate and weather have always been issues for humanity. An ice age ending ten thousand years, a cataclimic flood buried in ancient legend with lots of minor versions since. In the 1970's I remember the great fear was a cooling planet, now it is the opposite. What we need to be wary of is narratives that are intentionally circulated by government agencies for various indefinate objectives and not always good ones. This particular meme relates to a warming planet which it is suggested is down to man-made CO2 production. Is it coincidence that the one chemical chosen is probably one of the least dangerous contaminants put out by man. Its contribution to the atmosphere is only 405.0 parts per million - about 0.0395%. It has always fluctuated slightly throughout the ages although it has only been identified or measured by humans in the last 'few seconds' of recorded time. This obsession has fuelled the whole largely secret, technology of weather modification, such as cloud seeding, that probably does far more damage than it helps. The proliferation of aircraft movements continually pollutes the aatmosphere at 30.000 feet. But don't get me wrong, I am not in favour of human pollution, particularly since the Industrial Revolution, of the atmosphere, just that this Global Warming/Climate Change obsession is a fabricated story-line, based on very flimsy evidence, designed to deflect attention and effort away from much more serious 20th Century pollutants, that are largely ignored and unaddressed, pollutants developed and deployed by the military/industrial complex, anxious to avoid responsibility, blame or commercial implications. The materials deployed in war, or abandoned after it, often with long term consequences such as 'Agent Orange' and depleted uranium, are hardly referred to. I have mentioned the devastating short and long term effects of the nuclear weapons programme that still continues and may be ramped up, of which the explosions themselves are just a tiny part of the problem. Fukushima still pollutes the Pacific and everything in it. The pollutants - phenyls and di phenyls, nitrous oxides, additives etc from billions of motor vehicles. About 3,000,000,000 tons of pesticide spread on the earth annually. In comparison with these and other pollutants, CO2 where all the attention is directed is a relative puppy dog. In 1970 I drew attention to one poison - lead - that was added to petrol and distributed everywhere vehicles moved. It took about 30 years before it was finally removed in the UK. The diesel engines that largely replaced petrol ones, are said to cause 40,000 deaths annually from the particulates produced. Humans need to get wise to the way their behaviour, both direct and indirect, impinges on all other life on the planet. Without knowledge nothing will change. Nice to chat to you.
