Solar and climate- no longer taboo
Posted on October 13, 2011 by Anthony Watts

R. Gates says:
In general, the life support systems of the earth (which include of course biosphere, hydrosphere, and all levels of the atmosphere) are self regulating and adjust to external forcing to keep earth in a range of temperatures that are not too extreme for life. This range can be quite large, as life can be quite adaptable. However, when change strikes rapidly, or too intensely, the self-regulating processes of the planet don’t have time to react or adapt, and we get periods of mass extinctions on the planet, and the planet goes through a period of reorganization until new self-regulating systems can once more balance things out and a new mode is established, with much different biosphere than previously.

The key question arises: How sensitive will the biosphere, atmosphere, and hydrosphere be to the (geologically speaking) rapid rise in CO2 beyond anything seen in at least 800,000 years? As a current “warmist” I think human CO2 emissions are having some effect, though I am still not convinced they will be catastrophic. However, it does appear that some changes going on in the oceans (hydrosphere) and specifically the biological ecosystems of the oceans might be indicating that the oceans are going through some rapid changes. This deserves close and intense study, for as the oceans go, so goes much of the rest of life on earth. The greatest mass extinction on earth was seen first as changes in the oceans.

Stanford Poll: Large majority of Americans support government solutions to global warming → news.stanford.edu

Three out of four Americans believe that the Earth has been gradually warming as the result of human activity and want the government to institute regulations to stop it, according to a new survey by researchers at the Woods Institute for the Environment at Stanford University.

Plant trees, not carbon laws
by Anthony Watts

From the University of Michigan U-M ecologist: Future forests may soak up more carbon dioxide than previously believed An aerial view of the 38-acre experimental forest in Wisconsin where U-M researchers and their colleagues continuously exposed birch, aspen and maple trees to elevated levels of carbon dioxide and ozone gas from 1997 through 2008.

Can you imagine how many tonnes of FOSSIL BASED FUEL we burn only to FLY? just have a look on air traffic around the WORLD!

IS AIR SPACE ABOVE COUNTRIES NATIONAL or GLOBAL RESOURCE? → acckkii.tumblr.com

Air space above countries is restricted area controlling under specific international regulations and laws.

There are rivers, seas, forests, roads, mines and etc that are considered as national resources in a country. Now the question is:

IS AIR SPACE ABOVE COUNTRIES NATIONAL or GLOBAL RESOURCE?

When we say AIR SPACE this reminds us the BORDER LINES with special views of different nations, but is this atmosphere that contains (O2) and any border line is meaningless here, NATIONAL or GLOBAL?

We say GLOBAL WARMING; this means however air space more likely is “GLOBAL”. There are factors that make this definition possible. Now, IF ANYTHING HAPPENS TO THE AIR ANYWHERE AROUND THE GLOBE, WOULD DEFINITELY AFFECT ALL CREATURES?

 GLOBAL WARMING is caused by carbon dioxide. Carbon Dioxide is a combination of Oxygen and Carbon and the result is Energy. We are talking about manmade CO2. Solar activities have huge affects on CO2 that is not discussed here. We want to fix O2 as part of manmade CO2 and value its economic performance.

As a matter of fact, our global economy and life styles have been widely influenced by Fossil Based Fuels (FBF).

Until the time we discover the required solutions for optimized fuel consumption formulas, it is clear WE MUST do something:

1- Increasing fuel efficiency by enhancing technology to maintain less fuel per unit of work;

2- Developing Oxygen Resources;

3- Developing water resources;

4- Wood industries watch to assure certain backups for the woods we gain from green areas.

We have the know-how for mass fuel production, but the required efficient O2 producing procedures are far behind this knowledge.

We have lost north and south poles white areas widely, that means we have injected CO2 by this quantity into the AIR and the results are greater than ever during the past 100 years. We never feel the atmosphere except when it is hot/cold. The atmosphere around the EARTH is a resource of what we are in need of it and it is Oxygen.

Destruction of the EARTH by MAN KIND is a truth. Oxygen share in the atmosphere is only %16. So it is clear that O2 reservoir is no longer unlimited. WE NEED OXYGEN to be produced in a large scale. This is not only NATIONAL but GLOBAL RESOURCE. As a matter of fact, without O2 no FBF and Energy is maintained.

As NATIONAL resource, a price should be defined for Oxygen. Oxygen is adding a value to Carbon to free energy. But this value is ended to CARBON DIOXIDE and in this combination O2 is no longer within our reach.

FBF will never bear the financial load of CARBON EMISSION FEES. Oxygen must take in part to keep its resources as a vital element for all creatures on the EARTH.

The rate for one unit of O2 is global same as the OIL indexes. This huge energy resource would be problem for human beings in the near future. We should value it same as Carbon. We should think when we have enough FBF but no O2 to burn it. So O2 is an energy resource too. Now, the price for this vital element is absolute ZERO. All the countries must let a budget for O2 development.

 Producing O2 would be resulted to positive climate change. Green Regions of the Earth must be kept at any costs. The green countries are future wealthy members of the EARTH.

Economists introduced Value Added Tax (VAT). But for action/reaction between O2 and Carbon we need to consider Value Added O2 (VAO), very quickly.
