Climate Change is of no Concern to US Government
As you may know, from my other blog writings, I don't believe in human caused climate change. ("Human Extinction Through Ignorance" is my blog on climate change, its causes and our alternatives.) I do know the climate is changing and do not dispute that. But we cause hundreds of times less greenhouse gasses per year than the ocean makes not the mention the decomposition of vegetation that makes more than the oceans. The humans make just a little more carbon dioxide per year than the natural gassing of Earths core via volcanic activity.
The reasons why I believe we are being lied to about the cause of global warming is covered in my blog "Climate Change and Globalization are Linked" I will not cover them again here.
Back to the point... the current administration is cutting the information gathering network that has the most hope of being able to untangle the "global warming debate." It seems that now the "science is in" they wanna dismantle the tools that brought us that science to prevent it from being used against them. It seems so typical for this administration.
They have cut funding to, or fired/forced resignation of, every form of opposition to their broader goals. At this point it seems that the oil companies are going to profit from "climate change." I will explain.
In order to change the country from gas to electric all we must do is get rid of gas powered automobiles. That is all. Then all oil will be good for is creating power. The oil companies are invested in refineries and pipelines and cant just change this overnight. They don't build any more refineries, and haven't for years, because they know the future of energy and see it would be a waste of money. They need to build combination oil well-power plants that store all the toxic emissions in the very wells the oil is coming out of. The export from these is pure energy.
To do this costs lots of money in R&D (research and development) that the oil companies have... but would rather not spend. Not if they can convince the American public that the planet is heating up and going to kill us all if we don't start forcing our government to find alternatives. Thus most, to all, of the R&D will be paid for by the government along with the conversion costs from refinery to power plant. These oil companies just stand to gain from the fear generated from the absolute trite of 'human caused climate change.'
Don't get me wrong, I would love a quieter world without mini-explosions happening countless times each minute all around me. The air would be cleaner and just a better life in general.
But let us not forget what facilitates our world pollution. The companies that have caused it should not be rewarded with government money for R&D or any other reason due to they are knowingly irresponsible, willing facilitators, without regard for the effects of their product on our planet and our lives, and have been for years.
We should hold them responsible for the reversing of any damage their product has caused.
What will happen is they will ride the 'climate change' fear until the people force the government to fund the "Global Power Grid" transition. It seems that the powers-that-be are dismantling any way to analyse the climate and draw new, more accurate, or any other conclusions than the one permeating the public mind.
My guess is that the program that was shut down today was beginning to show evidence that could be used to prove that humans are not a cause of climate change and that the planet we live on is on a natural sway in temperature, much like the repeated ice-ages.
My point is: If climate change is a human caused problem, why is the US government not willing to pay any amount of money to study, and possibly prevent, the end of civilization?
My answer is the cause is a deception based on weather data of less than 100 years, and discounts all the geological data in opposition. The oil companies know they are the only ones that can meet our future energy needs. That we cant hold them accountable for the product they pedal without bankrupting them and thus ruining the global economy. They need the public fear to force our government to "give" them billions of more dollars to make them ecologically safe, instead of fining them billions for the destruction of our ecosystem.
When the public gets word that the climate is way beyond human control or ability to effect in any way, the profiteers of the climate change solution can simply state "better safe than sorry!" and "there was no way to prove we weren't causing it." (example: WMDs in Iraq!) But there would be proof, perhaps, if we were not currently covering our tracks by destroying our climate observation programs.

Human Extinction Through Ignorance
For instance an asteroid strike or a massive volcanic eruption (super volcano), like that in Yellowstone and 9 other locations worldwide, would result in immediate changes. The changes have lasted for up to a century in the previous worst case scenarios. Then there is the natural ice ages that occur.
These take much longer to unfold. The geological records show that a slow change in global temperatures leads to a snap and drastic changes in global climate. This is why all the theories that involve the disruption of the oceanic conveyor are being studied currently. It is in an attempt to understand how the snap from global warming to ice age happens.
That is what the whole hoo haa is about. Not that the globe will warm up and kill us. But geology would hint that the temperature will rise for a while and then drop off until an ice age is achieved. Why does the planet leave an ice age? The slow buildup of greenhouse gasses and the desalination of the ocean (would be very salty in an ice age)? Seems logical. If I stretch my imagination I can see an Ice age would cool earths outer crust and thus shrink it enough to constrict the core of the planet. This would result in a more compressed and thus hotter core. To release the pressure... volcanic activity and therefore more greenhouse gasses.
Back to volcanic events and pollution. Even though pollution has taken some 100 years to collect and a volcano is an instant effect, in geological terms they are almost the same. A hundred years in the 4 billion year history of things is small indeed. Yet Earth recovers from huge volcanoes within a several decades of their eruption.
Humans can not even hope to pollute as much as a volcano... even if we tried. The cows we breed are apparently putting out more greenhouse gasses than all of human industry is. Apparently the Earth fixes itself very quickly if it is out of balance, quick enough to repair anything we do.
I think we arrogant humans give ourselves to much credit. We think that we can change this planet by our actions. But lets put our egos in check for a moment and look at the raw powers that are running the living planet EARTH.
First, most all life on earth is fueled by the sun (directly or indirectly). But the sun is a long long LONG way away. We are but a speck of sand a half football field away from a basketball (maybe baseball... cant recall) sized sun. Yet enough light hits this little ball of dust to make the surface team with life. Think of all the space Earth does not occupy in space...and how much energy the sun is REALLY putting out. It is inconceivable. But lets turn inward.
Earth has a molten core. Heavier liquids settle to the bottom/center of gravity. Keep this in mind. In order to cause a nuclear reaction all one must do is put enough uranium in a pile and it happens. That is right, if you can find enough of this pure stuff and gather it together it WILL happen, no catalysts, just a chain reaction resulting in a meltdown. Back to the heavier liquids thing.
The molten core of earth acts as a giant filter. The heavier Uranium molecules will continually gather into areas of equilibrium until a nuclear reaction happens. This is happening all the time in earths core (A. Einsteins' theories say this is how space-time/gravity work.) if gravity does not peeter out as you get closer to the core...which it may (gravity is a push not a pull. Like a ball under water, not like Einstein theorised. In fact E=MC^2 is not mathematically sound and is likely just a publicity stunt. [A Blog I will soon do]) In that case the earth spin and chaos theory would say that uranium would be centrifuged into layers and spread evenly. What I am trying to say is that there is so much going on in the center of our planet that we don't know for sure if it is undergoing a continual nuclear reaction or not. In fact its, once again, an inconcievable uncalculable amount of energy.
As you can see the amount of energy that effects our planet from within, dwarfs the amount of sunlight energy that falls on it (responsible for the weather and all life), and even more so the human effects. This gives us some idea of the power of the current we may be fighting.
If we are to fall into a natural ice age, as it is time to, there is nothing we can do to change it. It has nothing to do with the atmosphere, due to our atmosphere is just a faint reflection of, and derived from, the internal workings of this planet. An ice age is a natural internal fluctuation of earth, and, like a heartbeat, to stop it could be devastating. Besides the amount of energy in a large volcanic eruption is so much more devastating that we humans are, yet, it is just a tiny pinhole vent, into the true power and forces at work within our planet. So the climate change is derived from an internal change in earths core and is a symptom of a far more unavoidable problem.
We are using the FEAR generated by the Global Warming scare, to fight greenhouse gasses, thus gambling the human race on the hope we can fix something that may not even be broke. And if it isn't broke, and is a natural cycle of the planet... we have no power to stop it. Our most powerful creation is a nuke. A nuke is, once again, just a few rocks from the planet we are trying to change. Shouldn't we be concentrating on getting off this planet? The history of the Earth shows one mass extinction after another.
We know for a fact that this planet changes. That it WILL change again. That our only real hope is to colonize the sea and space. And that if we stop its natural cycles, we are indeed asking for trouble. We don't know enough to know what to do. But one thing is for sure:
WE MUST LEAVE OUR PLANET OR WE WILL EVENTUALLY BE EXTINCT...ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.

Question Beliefs: Our Lives Might Depend on It
Belief is a touchy subject. So much so that it is a social taboo to question ones beliefs. But as I see it beliefs are what separate us from one another. Two folks believe differently and, due to the nature of beliefs, they can prove neither thus an em pass.
Belief, by definition, takes faith to support. A belief founded in logic becomes a theory. So in reality we are dealing in matters of faith. Indeed to question ones faith is not going to get results. Those of faith start going in a circular argument about belief and faith and break down into "if you don't have faith, you cant understand my beliefs." Likely it is they who misunderstand the source of their own convictions.
In order to understand said source, I must go back to evolution... intelligent design (in case you are a 'true believer'). The empty feeling that most humans feel and fill with their belief system, is a positive evolutionary trait. The reason is simple. Peoples that felt this way were more curious and inventive in an attempt to get psychologically contented. They were less apt to just be happy and exist in bliss, in other word, they left the Garden of Eden. Perhaps they even found more pleasure in the more mundane things in nature due to a satisfaction of filling the void within, whereas if there is no void to fill there would be no artificial satisfaction, no curiosity, wonder or invention. This psychological edge would be enough to dominate those without. Further, the development of a distinct spiritual system both attracted and pacified larger groups of people than had been possible any time before. Another reason it is a dominant trait in modern man.
But alas I must try and approach faith without sounding godless. In order to do so first I have to explain why anyone would want to disrupt someone elses life structure by attempting to undermine their beliefs. History is ripe with wars of faith. And we are not insulated from that now.
In the USA around a quarter of our populace BELIEVE that Armageddon is coming. That YHVH will rescue them from this Earth and take them into the sky. These people don't view Earth as anything more than a disposable temporary living space. The climate change problem don't effect them because they wont be here in the 'end of days'. This is a reflection of what religion is for, absolution.
Humans go to church and pay to be told what they think. Most don't bother to read the bible much less take the time to learn a new language to read the original texts. But are contented to listen to one mans interpretation of an already overly transcribed, and hand copied, Roman interpretation, of 200 year old texts written 50 years after the actual life of Jesus.
I am not saying it is of no worth. But the life of Jesus is being misused by the church as an example of behavior that will grant access to heaven. By putting Jesus between us and God the church has undermined Jesus main teachings about our personal connection with the all mighty.
Jesus' death has been used against us also. Are we not suppose to worship any false idols. Just worship the one God directly. Moses said this. Then came Jesus, and 250 years later (when Rome created modern Christianity... NOT JESUS or his followers) we are using a cross (a torture/execution device) as a crutch to remind us of the sacrifice. And our acceptance of Jesus dying for our sins grants us an eternal seat in the presence of a omnipotent omnipresent being that, I assume, must have billions of other worlds to monitor and grant miracles on. This seems a bit pride full, the original sin. Yet the cross is a sin, a false idol that serves only to put distance between you and God.
God, as it is, must be understood individually. There are NO SHORTCUTS. Churches are profitable organization that allow their followers to absolve themselves from personal responsibility by substituting our logical mental processes for unfounded beliefs and unneeded submission rituals along with rules of how to be civilized... in ages long past. Likely, the actions of the believer and the conscientious non-believer, will be the same in most every circumstance. Simply because a spiritual person will finds the truth...for free.
I am not sure how to challenge someones beliefs without getting anger as a response. But its got to be done. We cant allow the planet to be run by a bunch of people that believe God is a man in the sky with a white beard and big muscles and the Earth is just a place to wait for death or for "the man in the sky" to rescue them. This is the only planet we have got, and the faithful can't be logical about this. We must have logical reasons for what we do to effect the population and environment, not beliefs, and hopes, and absolution from sound reasoning due to 'its what the Bible said.'
But alas, stained glass windows, golden trinkets and bejeweled crosses (all needed to impress God?) cant be acquired through faith alone. If we could all find for ourselves what the spirit urns for, the churches would be nothing more than a strange cult.
We should wield the Bible as a weapon of peace and not an excuse to exclude other people of differing beliefs (or none at all). Nor to wage war or gather money. The words of God should connect us to mother Earth and let us know we are dependant on the rock we live on. That the true nature of God can not be found in a church but between the sky and rivers. That the path to your salvation is yours alone to travel, and no one can guide or follow you. My proof lies in the lives of the great prophets. They followed no one.
Thier unique experiences in life formulated their reality. So no man can ever hope to get to a higher place unless they are willing to throw away conventional ways and find their own truth. In doing so, you will be more liken to any one of the most revered humans in our history than those that are just faithful.
At least that was my theory... and is now my way of life. :-)

Arrogance of Humans
It is common to give ourselves more importance than we deserve. To give our common everyday problems an undue weight on our consciousness and therefore an unreasonable sense of self-gratification upon accomplishment or alleviation of said problems. Further we value our own existence more than others. The only exception is when our conscious mind overrides our instinct. If it were any other way, and it likely was for pre-historic man, those species lacked a 'survival mechanism' and thus were eventually integrated or fell by the wayside of evolution. It can be argued that the very same can be said about those that did or dint posses a feeling of emptiness and curiosity (likely artifacts let over from our primate ancestry), the two things that lead to invention and spirituality. Maybe even lead the first apes from the trees and left their brethren behind.
There I go, using 'behind' to state that man now is in some way superior. Are we humans better than the apes because we have made more changes to our DNA? That just makes us more fortunate, but not better. We humans seem to think that because we are the only history keepers on the planet that we can destroy parts of it. From an off worlder point of view, that seems illogical at best... verging on insane.
The recent climate change issue has awoke many to the fact that we are a part of a living system, not the lords of it, not the reapers of Gods bounty. Seems a shame that our religious systems don't do much to connect us to earth but instead to God and heaven. Thus earthly existence is more tolerable. Good for the last 1800 years but we are big boys now and are able to wear big boy pants. With these new clothes comes new responsibilities.
- Understand that a human life is equal no matter the age, race, religion, nationality, ect...
- Know that, due to our destructive nature, a human life is worth less than most other creatures on earth
This belief in our own self-importance is the root of our personal and global problems. In our personal lives we often overlook others needs, both inadvertently and purposefully, while dwelling in our own issues. Seems that those that like drama spread it through all means at hand. In fact this all boils down to.. many humans thrive on drama, which is simply a distorted view of their own self-worth.
We find self-importance when someone else is dominated by thoughts of us, good or bad. It makes one feel like they have worth. Like they have the ability to effect the people and things around them. And we do. But it is a human fallacy to behave like this. And it draws our attention away from the true issues of our time.
On a global scale, we disconnect with the ecosystem that birthed us in order to spread its pollen (plants came first and thus, are our ancestors, and likely those original animals that evolved so as to help the plants to flourish, thrived with them), to a point where, until recently, it was taboo to say we weren't just plopped here a few thousand years ago by a big man in the sky with a white beard and big muscles. Christians have believed for ever that this planet was theirs to use up. That God gave it to them/us to use as we see fit. And that they have no future here.
The Rapture will take them away and leave all of the rest of us to deal with an empty shell of an ecosystem. I got news for you Christian fundamentalists... God is caught up in a galactic confrontation and will be a bit late. So make due till he gets here. But he assures you that each insignificant human soul on this speck of dust in a blizzard of stars called the milky way, flying around a giant black hole with billions of other galaxies, ARE HIS FIRST PRIORITY. And further each one of us, through deeds and thought alone shall be granted eternal bliss in his ever glowing presence. Yup, we allow ourselves to believe we are that important to Mr Omnipotent.
Put your ego in check. Question beliefs. Be logical. Be spiritual. Get to "know" lesser life forms. Run from drama you cant avoid. Most of all the next time you crush out a roach or fly, think about life and death and how precious and amazing that creature must be to do so much that you can't do. Because with all we can do with all the advantages we have, all we have done is destroy and abuse the source of our evolution and existence. Then measure your worth on earth vs. the roach. Uh... be honest (its an ego thing).
