Will 1.5 degree C kill our planet?

I am not that pessimistic about the end of our planet. Such prediction is as inaccurate as that caused by the Millenium Bug, and the running out of space on the Aztec Calendar to make further projection.

I am not a climate scientist, neither am I an expert in the field of iceberg. However, I am certain that the sea level increase has been exaggerated. By applying Archimedes' Principle, the rise in water is equivalent to volume of melted iceberg above the sea level divided by the total surface area of the Earth. The portion of iceberg submerged in water, about 60% of the total volume, is a non-issue, because whether it is in the state of solid ice or liquid water, the volume us almost identical.

Low lying areas will be under water, especially some islands created by under water voluncantic eruption, but large areas of arid land mass, about 41% of earth's surface, including the deserts and dried up inland seas will be awashed by the rising water, and flourish again. Many rivers, including the Australian Murray Darling River, will not run out of water again, no matter how severe the drought may be.

Furthermore, many artesian wells or water tables will be filled, and some of the big cities around the world will return to the original ground level. These include Bangkok, as well as Venice.

As human population continues to increase, this newly rejuvenated productive land will be able to support more lives, both fauna and flora.

Reducing carbon emission solves only half or may be less of the problem. The total amount of atmospheric carbon dioxide is compounded continuously, and therefore more carbon sinks are required to remove the existing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere as well as the additional emission. The most obvious and the primitive method that can do the job is photosynthesis, carried out by plants as well as algae.

Some of the "reclaimed" land will turn into forests probably bigger than all the existing forests in the world combined. Only nature can perform such miracle to create the forests which in turn create the carbon sink.

If the temperature is to increase by 1.5 degrees, will some of the living things perish? Human beings definitely will survive without any problem. In many places, including Melbourne, the daily minimum and maximum temperatures can vary by more than 10 times, and yet hardly anyone dies of such variation. Air transport makes human beings more resilient and adaptive to temperature change.

If Charles Darwin's "theory of evolution by natural selection" is still valid in time to come, it is inevitable that some species will perish, and new species evolve.

Carbon dioxide emission reduction does not reduce the existing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere

I always think that climate scientists and anti-carbon dioxide dumping activists are too one track mind.

While reducing carbon dioxide emission can possibly help to slow down global warming, but that does not help to reduce the carbon dioxide already present in the atmosphere. What these experts fail to address is how to remove carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, so that a balance can be achieved to accommodate the inevitable emission, especially caused by uncontrollable forest / bush fires and volcanic eruptions.

When I come across the article that Chinese scientists are having a break through in synthesing starch from carbon dioxide, I know human beings will be saved by their own ingenuity.

As an educator, I always encourage my students to behave like a 4 years old, and then as a 6 years old. A 4 years old child always asks why, while a 6 years old learns by asking how.

Melting glacier ice is nothing like a Tsunami

The speed of rising water caused by melting glacier ice is nothing like a Tsunami, and yet many humans escaped the Tsunami and returned to rebuild their homes.

Look at yesterday and today deluge, the burnt and barren areas are green and dry river beds filled. Wildlife will return soon. Many of the assumed dead creatures will crawl out from the burrows and hiding places and live happily everafter.

If all the snow fields and icebergs are thawed, some islands will drown, land flooded, but the water will find ways to fill dried rivers, lakes, inland “seas”, reservoirs, dams and underground artisan wells.

Humankind always dream of greening the deserts and turn them into oases, better still become cultivatable fertile productive farm land. Flooding of the world will in fact bring back the luscious green forests everywhere, with trees sucking up the carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and giving out oxygen during photosynthesis.

This is how nature cleans up the mess, and give the humans a new lease of life. When carbon dioxide, the greenhouse gas, is dissolved in water, it forms carbonic acid. As additional fresh water from melted ice mixes with the ocean water, it helps to dilute the acidity of the water.

So, why are we stopping the force of nature doing what is best for the humankind?

Go ask Noah what happened after the big flood. He probably would tell you that a lot of the human’s dirty sins were cleansed until now!

Don’t bury your head in the sand. You can’t see where you’re going, and even if you do, the way to go is six feet under!

Al Gore Likely To Become The World’s First ‘Carbon Billionaire’

Commonsense tells me that the current hypothesis of global warming is nonsensical and can just as well be taken with a grain of salt.

I would like to see governments, scientists, academic and business people take up a class action against these scamming doomsayers. These predictions are as inaccurate as the Mayan calendar and Y2K bug prediction about the end of the world, and in addition the coming of Christ.

It is getting more and more ridiculous that 12 Mayors around the world banning or reducing the consumption of meat in their respective cities, because cattle poo decomposes into methane gas, a greenhouse gas that causes global warming.

Is it possible that human culling may be a reality because more and more human beings will be living on the planet, breathing in more oxygen and discharging more carbon dioxide, the latter being another greenhouse gas?

It is evident that glacier ice is melting, not only in the North Pole and South Pole, but also in Switzerland, China, Canada, etc. The volume of ice is huge and will not disappear in the next decade, not even in the next two decades or half a century. I recently visited Moscow, and the daily temperature and seasonal temperature fluctuated from 18 degrees to less then zero in a matter of a day or two. It is the start of summer In Moscow! Human beings can survive even the temperature varies by 40 to 50 degrees in a day. Ask the guest workers in Middle East who work at construction sites under hot sun with site temperature over 45 degrees, and it is no surprise that nothing has been reported that they drop death like flies when they enter an air conditioned office of 18 degrees, or even a restaurant cool room at 3 degrees.

There are reports of fish in rivers die suddenly in thousands or more. Global warming is gradual and therefore such instaneous death can only be attributed to toxic substance being discharged into the rivers, and not by gradual temperature increase.

If all the ice is melted tomorrow, not all land mass will be flooded overnight. Can you recall the story of Noah's Ark that the world was flooded for seven days and seven nights? It is just impossible that the whole world but just a minute portion of it was flooded. If the whole world was flooded, where did the water go to when the rain stopped and sun came out again? It was impossible that the water was evaporated in days or years, unless the temperature was raised to hundreds of degrees, and during which time Noah, his family members and all animals on board the ark would have roasted to death.

Melting of all the ice on Earth, as I mentioned before, would not flood the world, because there are enough high grounds for human settlement. People relying on melted snow for fresh water can turn to desalinated water just like those in the Middle East countries. By the way, scientist did rescue 7 out of 9 ancient temples in Egypt when the compound needed to be flooded in order to make way for Aswan dam.

I was very fortunate to have the opportunity to visit 3 temples, which were dismantled and reconstructed on higher ground.

Melting of all the ice may be a blessing in disguise, because those global warming scammers will not be able to create divides among their fellow human beings, and human beings can live happily everafter without dying from stress, worrying the coming of the doomsday.

Global warming is inevitable, because the excess heat from the sun is not utilised each day. Since about 75% of the earth surface is occupied by oceans, only idiots cannot accept the fact that the heat will warm up the water gradually, even without any human intervention. Concession to competitors that supply alternative renewable energy, NOT carbon tax will bring carbon emission down. Research grants should be given to work on genetically modified plants or trees which have large photosynthesis rate, that is, absorbs more carbon dioxide and returns more oxygen back to the atmosphere.

Fireworks pollute environment but no one complains

Posted to Facebook on 13/1/2012 at 3:29 AM Commenting on "Fireworks burn money" or "Fireworks pollute environment but no one complains"

No greenies ever protested the pollution caused by many thousands or millions of tonnes of toxic gases and pollutants being poured into the atmosphere by the explosion of fireworks, especially for new year's celebration. I am truly disgusted by the irrational human's behaviour that hundreds of millions of dollars burnt in just a few short minutes. This could have helped relief some human suffering such as hunger, accommodation and education. Sydney is spending more and more each year on fireworks display at Sydney Harbour Bridge for New Year's Eve celebration. Melbourne is doing likewise on a smaller budget but still in the millions.

Carbon tax is generating more heat than global warming

Contribution of carbon dioxide towards global warming is negligible. A degree or so increase is no comparison to 10 or 20 degrees Celsius difference in daily minimum and maximum temperatures. When somewhere in the world experiences drought, another part will receive the extra rainfall, which means while somewhere experiences higher temperature, another part of the world is colder or else the rain will not fall.

The reason why Australia is high on carbon dioxide production per capita is because of her small population. In any business, there are always fixed and variable costs involved. The same principle applies here that certain amount of carbon dioxide produced is fixed no matter how small the population is.

Compounding this is transmission of power over vast distances to generally very low population density cities and towns, unlike many smaller but higher population density European or Asian countries.

If coal power plants are closed, the brown coal will either laid buried in the ground in Australia, or dumped in the world market.

The latter option will be a total disaster for the future of our planet - assuming that coal power plants are evil. Developing countries will be buying the coal to power their generators, likely to be dirtier than our existing plants, creating more pollution than anyone can ever imagine.

Australia plays tough and acts as the good guy, but it actually is an accessory to the murder of planet Earth!

Coal power plants use a lot of Australian resources and labour - good for our own economy and employment. The resources are not overseas import and the labour cannot be outsourced overseas.

Starting from mining the brown coal to the final stage of burning it, involves a long chain of industries - transport, fuel, supply and maintenance of all related plant, equipment and vehicle, food and beverages, uniform, accommodation, etc.

It is undeniable that China is the factory of the world. Anything or component can be built in a country can be built in China at much lower cost.

China is going to release her new aircraft C919 at USD50m each in less than 5 years time to compete with Airbus A320 at USD93m and Boeing 737 at USD80m respectively, is a clear demonstration that any equipment and components used for renewable energy power plants will likely be manufactured in China at a fraction of the cost.

Loss of employment is disastrous and NOT renewable. Don't be a statistics!

Year after year, utilities and rates charges increase at a rate higher than the CPI (or loosely speaking the inflation rate), while the increase of the inflation rate itself remains relatively low. This only means that the imported goods are cheaper or getting cheaper, and that spells doom to our self-sufficiency and manufacturing industries.

For the past decade, Australia has been riding high on the primary and tertiary (service) industries. On the contrary, the secondary (manufacturing) industry is fixed on reverse gear. Business confidence and consumer confidence had been very high. Although Australia is a large island far away from the rest of the world, it is not isolated from them economically. It is time Australia has to face the music.

Australia has been blessed by the increasing demand of coal and iron ore in China, Korea, Japan, and India. However, the fortune of some these countries have changed and will change negatively as a result of the financial misfortune and financial mismanagement of other countries or natural disasters that have occurred within. The demand of minerals will decline because Australia’s buyers are experiencing lower demand of their products.

Service or tertiary industries flourish during boom time, be it local, national or worldwide. This is evident in the downturn of Australia’s tourism industry. On the local scene, retail and housing industries have slowed down dramatically, too.

In recent weeks, the world climatic conditions have gone topsy-turvy. Soaring heat waves hit many states in USA as well as large part of Europe. Scandinavian and Baltic countries experience many more warm sunny days than usual. China has unusual big floods that affect millions of people. To a smaller extent, Australia did not escape the destructive force of Mother Nature.

How can things just happen so suddenly? Is it due to global warming, extra-terrestrial influence or activities taking place under the surface and within the Earth? During the last few years, large earthquake, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions cause immense damages to many cities and affected neighbouring countries. There is no way in the world that these natural disasters are caused by global warming. On the contrary, these could be the cause of global warming!

Carbon tax is a nonsensical tax. Will Australians be taxed for polluting the planet by exhaling carbon dioxide every time they breathe out? Some Australians may be a few dollars better off the first year of carbon tax implementation, but the benefit will go sour in subsequent years because inflation will swallow up all the miserable handouts.

Few years ago, Target 155 was introduced by the former Victorian government to encourage people to save water during the drought. It was a very successful campaign. The success of the campaign lied not on taxing the Victorians; people used over 155 litres per person per day were not penalised, and yet majority of the Victorians wanted to save water. Saving water and energy should be a way of life, and NOT political or economic policies imposed by the Government.

If the government really want to flex her muscle, deadlines can be imposed on industries to clean up their act, invest in alternative power generation or their business registration / licence will not be renewed. Taxes on any industry will have a flow on effect on ordinary people. No business wants to be shut down!

By ignoring the poll is a sign of arrogance to the nth degree, self-centredness and disrespectful of the intelligence of the Australian public.

Will Julia Gillard continue to ignore what the rest of Australia is telling her that she is NOT on the right track?

If the sea water is getting more saline, then melting ice will dilute it, marine lives will not be facing extinction.

If the land is getting arid, the rising water will irrigate it, deserts will become productive land.

If the underground water table is sinking, the excess water flowing inland will fill it, many high rise buildings will not face destruction.

The predictive economic models are questionable for modern day use. The yesteryear world was "larger" and separated by barriers, and things moved more slowly. Debt borrowing was not as prevalent then.

It is evident that when US sneezes, the world catches a cold, and Australia stock market becomes infected with pneumonia – it was hit hard by the loss of $33 billion in a day on 2 June 2011.

The head of Treasury, Dr Martin Parkinson, told the senate hearing that, "Mining is 8 per cent of gross domestic product," and continued to say "It's a very important 8 per cent, but there's a very important 92 per cent of GDP which is out there which for some reason we have stopped talking about." I would argue that this 8 per cent is far more important than the rest of 92 per cent, because without this 8 per cent, the rest of domestic consumption will stall.

Mining industry is a primary industry, and so far the boom is centred in Western Australia and Queensland. Mother Nature has not been kind to Queensland, but not too cruel to spare Western Australia. If Mother Nature can do that to Australia, the supplier of natural resources, it can also do the same to our buyers. We have witnessed Mother Nature’s did not spare Japan from the destructive force of tsunami. Australian iron ore export to Japan has dropped so drastically because the Japanese car manufacturing plants are closed. Sorry if I am sinful to sound like cursing China; what if China experiences something catastrophic that Australian exports to this biggest buyer has to come to a halt?

I am a true believer that Australia’s economy is fundamentally depending on the land as a primary producer. However, we have not made full use of our gift of large land mass. We keep digging for iron ore and coal, and the rest of Australia, or those working in the service / tertiary industries, benefited from the activities.

With the carbon (dioxide) tax on large carbon emitters, which unfortunately means the coal-fired power stations, the future of coal use in Australia will be decreased. What is Australia going to do with the coal? Will it stay in the ground or sell it to countries like China or India? Coal mining billionaire tycoons have so much of their money buried underground, and so many coal miners’ mouths to feed; they cannot afford not to sell the coal overseas even at low prices. What guarantees that these countries do not pollute the world more than Australia?

Australia, with the bleeding hearts politicians and former politicians like Julia Gillard, Kevin Rudd, Bob Hawke, Malcolm Turnbull, Malcolm Fraser, John Hewson, is naïve to the nth degree. Australia loses export income for low coal prices, becomes an accessory to the murder of planet Earth, causes unnecessary financial stress, pain and suffering to Australian families and deprives them quiet enjoying of this lucky country.

Before mining boom, sheep and wheat kept Australia prosperous, and what a lucky country! What has Australia done to the land and water supply? Virtually nothing, and as a result, Mother Nature punished Australia and brought forth drought. Australia was unprepared, and suffered from losses of production and income.

Money from government assistance or funding does not really come from the government; it comes from taxpayers. The money just rides on the merry-go-round. Real money to fill the kitty should derive from exporting things for money to overseas.

With millions and millions of hectares of land, Australia should be the food bowl of the world, and yet, the people are too complacent, contented and relaxed, and import foods from overseas; and most disgustingly, selling off the rural land particularly the productive ones to foreigners. What this means, Australia will buy foods from overseas companies, foods that are grown in Australian soil by Australian labour, at the price controlled by foreigners. What a joke?

Out of the blue the most prosperous European country, Germany, is hit with E-coli problem, which appears to be food-borne. Only if Australia is able to supply fresh foods cheaply by utilising the farmland more productively and intuitively, this could be a golden opportunity.

Have I missed out secondary industry? No, I have not; because there are not many around to create real employment. One after another, factories are closed or sold off. The so-called Australian icons that Australians are proud of have become history. The lack of foresight and poor planning are due to the arrogance and blindness of Australians and the Australian politicians. They do not take heed from what have been happening in United States of America and United Kingdom.

Smart countries, instead of benefitting the workforce from years of precious time, hard work and money spent in R&D, they stupidly transfer the technology to the developing countries and make the population of those countries smarter at minimal costs, leaving behind a pool of technologically knowledge poor and unemployed workforce. Put it simply, how many smart countries have factories producing hi-tech equipment, digital television, computers, solar-cells, computer chips, luxurious cars, etc.?

Economy is about supply and demand, and utilising limited resources in productive matter. If resources are limited, then the only way to survive for long term is diversification. So what should Australia do?

Many policies can be changed with the stroke of a pen, despite what the politicians have been telling us. The many debates in the Parliament are no more than theatrical performances by the Government and the Opposition.

New predictive economic models need to be found. At present, RBA should NOT increase interest rate to curb the so called inflation, because there is NO real inflation but human suffering in the economy. Private consumption with borrowed money is not a true reflection of GDP growth!

Many financial advisers tell their clients not to put their eggs into one basket, and have their assets, namely shares, properties and superannuation, apportioned proportionately. Ideally, I would like to postulate the following regarding GDP contributions:

For every 1 part contribution from primary industry, there are an equal part from secondary industry and 3 parts from tertiary industry.

http://edition.cnn.com/2011/WORLD/asiapcf/05/25/china.three.gorges.dam/index.html

Back in 8 November 2006, David Dreverman, head of the Murray-Darling river basin commission (Australia), said: "This is more typical of a one in a 1,000-year drought, or possibly even drier, than it is of a one in 100-year event." In 9 January 2011, South Australian water broker Waterfind said that "Historic odds indicate 2011 will also be a year of high rainfall within the basin as there has only been one time in the past 110 years".

It is unfortunate that the people living downstream of Yangtze River are experiencing hardship, but I doubt very much this is contributed by the Three Gorges Dam Project. In four years time, everyone will be celebrating when rain falls heavily again, and the people will be spared from flood and drowning, and the dam will go down in history as one of the greenest development of mankind.

http://www.theaustralian.com.au/national-affairs/make-carbon-tax-hurt-julia-gillard-advised/story-fn59niix-1226060716218

I challenge Julia Gillard and all those climate scientists to give me an answer to this very simple question - where does the excess heat from the Sun that is not used up each day go to? This is so fundamental and yet these idiots can only come up with the most ridiculous argument that the heat is trapped by greenhouse gases which melt the ice.

The culprit causing global warming is the Sun, and greenhouse gases play an insignificant role in aggravating the process. Even without greenhouse gases, heat absorbed at the lower atmosphere level and by the oceans cannot dissipate fast enough to the almost-freezing upper atmosphere, unless the Earth rotation is slowed down so as to increase the duration of night for more heat to escape.

The melting ice cannot be reversed unless Earth’s temperature drops to sub-zero, which means the Earth has to experience another Ice Age. In short, Julia Gillard and the idiotic scientists expect us to freeze to death so that new icebergs can be formed again. During the new Ice Age, no one is allowed to turn on heaters, because that will increase the air temperature!

Increasing taxes set off a chain reaction in increasing prices of other consumer goods, utilities and other commodities. We can expect more closures of factories and even education institutions, increase in bankruptcies, unemployment, life-style stress, mental illness, homelessness and social unrest. What is the point of having a clean planet if ordinary people cannot enjoy, or in the worst case, without any human around to enjoy?

Julia Gillard must be the love child of Pinocchio and the big bad red-hair wolf which ate Red Riding Hood’s grandma!

Carbon tax does not do anything to cool the Earth. It only makes the temperature of hardworking Australians go up to warm the Earth further.

Commonsense tells us that to counteract any warming, we need cooling or heat absorption. Swapping coal-fired power generation plants with solar or wind-driven ones only slows down the warming process negligibly, because the carbon dioxide discharge is so small percentage wise. Every year, bush fires and volcanic eruptions release more greenhouse pollutants than existing power plants.

It is so obvious that the Sun energy poured onto our planet everyday is not used up, and the excess is causing the warming of the atmosphere and the oceans.

Implementing carbon tax is going set up an economic chain reaction, more disastrous than any nuclear explosion. Besides increase in domestic electricity bills, all industries relying on electricity will be affected, and the cost will be passed on to the consumers.

Unfortunately carbon storage is not a feasible solution. A plausible answer is to grow high carbohydrate plants which acts as a carbon sink and helps solve starvation. Anyone supporting Gillard, her goons, and shit stirrer Turnbull are wearing blinkers.

It is sad that so much time and effort have been spent in talking about ETS and carbon tax that nothing really constructive has been done in nation building. Since Kevin Rudd came to power, one policy after another failed miserably leading to huge financial losses. So what he rectified the Kyoto Protocol, did other countries pay much attention to it? Let's look at Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs; many countries are experiencing natural disasters, and they really want to keep their people feed, and housed. Australia is facing the same problem, and billions of dollars are needed to restore the many lives to normality.

Many large Tsunamis happened in Japan long before Industrial Revolution. Pompeii was destroyed by fire and Atlantis sunk to the bottom of the ocean. These destructions were inevitable because human beings just cannot tame our planet Earth and Mother Nature. Carbon tax is no panacea, and Julia Gillard is no saviour.

Well done, Tony for your effort. Carbon tax is NOT a goer, and you are right to campaign against it. Carbon tax does not solve global warming, because the sun energy will continue to heat up our planet with the introduction of carbon tax. However, your approach in burying the carbon dioxide is not a good idea, too. When carbon dioxide is formed, one carbon atom combines with two oxygen atoms. This is analogous to oxygen depletion. Locking up the carbon dioxide also means locking up oxygen.

I have better alternatives. One is grow more carbohydrate (polysaccharides) which can be used as carbon sink as well as food for millions of hungry people in the world when harvested. Large carbon emitters and the greenies will not object such proposal, and in fact the former will be seen as environmental friendly global citizens. It also makes their triple bottom line look good.

The second alternative is to dehumidify moisture in the atmosphere. Water vapour is a bigger greenhouse culprit, worse than carbon dioxide. Atmospheric dehumidification may one day become just as popular as collection of rain water.

What a load of idiotic mumbo jumbo about unsustainable growth! Do we use up the natural resources? No, the natural resources are dug up and export to overseas for cash to line the billionaire pockets, and government. Oops, the experts also get a share for their crystal gazing!

Instead of building dams to meet growing population, channel excessive water from the north to irrigate large areas of harsh arid land, cultivating crops where suitable climatic conditions prevail, many Australians including the politicians are too complacent, and refuse to change the way they do things.

Compounding the problem is that many scientists and economists come up with crappy doomsday predictive models scaring the hell out of everyone, with simple solution like reducing population growth.

I have written an article in respond to a news item saying that China's economy is about to overtake US in 2015. China was a poor miserable underdeveloped country 3 decades ago, but now she is supporting a population of 1.3 billion and yet can win the economic race - it is a modern day fairy tale! Australia has only 23 million people, but keeps whinging about the size of the population – this is just laughable!

Stop releasing balloons, stop killing the defenceless

On Saturday, 2 April 2011, many balloons were released at St Kilda to mark the autism week. This also marks the death of many defenceless animals and marine lives. Why?

These people are no different from many who release hundreds of balloons in "celebrating life" (for the deceased) events at funerals.

It is important to understand that once the helium gas has escaped from the balloons, they will fall into the rivers, streams, paddocks, etc. and pollute the environment and suffocate birds, small animals and marine lives.

Stop releasing balloons, stop pollution NOW!
