BYE-BYE LITTLE FLY ?



Since Kyoto Protocol in 1997, scientists are repeatedly warning us that our CO2 emissions are feeding Global Warming and that we should drastically reduce them. Unfortunately, year after year, these emissions never stopped growing. The United States, the main producer of CO2 emissions for decades, dragged its feet until today and now it is the turn of China and then India and then the rest of the world, claiming their right to pollute Nature like we did before them. The problem is now we have zero time left.

The truth is we are like a fly caught into a honey pot but here it is Oil into which we're glued and from which we cannot find the necessary strength to extract ourselves. But why can't we really ? The biggest disease that plagues Humankind is "identification with thoughts". Yet, in Reality we are not our thoughts. What we ARE is BEING in us which is Reality's indivisible and limitfree essence.
Animals do not pollute Nature because they are still consciously one with BEING or Reality in them and therefore still part of the Web of Reality. We are psychologically disconnected from this Web by pains too big to be consciously encountered that linger in us since even before birth. Running away from these pains which pollute our Real self we hide in a fake and cognitive self made of thoughts with which we identify.

This thought-self has created a dream, a virtual world, whose primary, and unconscious, function is to keep hidden these unresolved pains that live on in us. And feeding this dream is so important for us that we blindly authorize ourselves destroying the Web of Reality just to nourish this illusion. This is how we came to the point of destroying Nature at a planetary scale and fossil fuels are but one among the different poisonous and destructive drugs we use to keep this lethal dream active. We cannot abandon our dream no more than a fly can drag itself out of the honey pot into which it fell.

Bye-bye little fly ?

A MAD, MAD, MAD WORLD

The IPCC warned us in its latest report, that we should bring back our CO2 emissions to 50% of what they were in the year 1990 and this before 2020, if we want to keep our planet within the 2° degrees. And the IPCC bases this prevision on the most optimistic scenario. Indeed, during the last decades, the scientists forcasts about Global Warming have been constantly revised upwards. The cascading effet is pretty uncertain and, for instance, we don't know the exact impact of CH4 emissions through the warming of the oceans and the melting of the permafrost. Lima Conference on Climate ends with ridiculous and criminal decisions about CO2 reduction: Reducing CO2 emissions from 40% by 2050 is just nonsense. You can no more haggle over with Global Warming that, for instance, you can haggle over with a fire that transforms your house in a furnace. You cannot say to the blaze: "stop, wait 20 minutes until the firemen arrive". The United States found $ 3000 billion just for I

DIRECTLY CAPTURING CO2 FROM THE ATMOSPHERE

Image
Direct air capture is the process of chemically scrubbing carbon dioxide directly from the ambient air, and then storing it either underground or in long-lived products. This new technology is similar to the carbon capture and storage technology used to capture emissions from sources like power plants and industrial facilities. The difference is that direct air capture removes excess carbon directly from the atmosphere, instead of capturing it at the source.  It is relatively straightforward to measure and account for the climate benefits of direct air capture, and its potential scale of deployment is enormous. But the technology remains costly and energy-intensive. It is often difficult to pin down costs for new direct air capture technologies, but a 2018 study estimates that it would cost about $94-$232 per metric ton. Earlier estimates were higher.  Direct air capture also requires substantial heat and power inputs: scrubbing 1 gigaton of carbon dioxide from the air could require ne

What can you do to save the planet Earth?

What can you do to save the planet Earth? You might have had this question popping up in your mind – “What can I do alone to save the environment?” Actually, there are thousands of people like you who have the similar thought in mind, amidst that dilemma and hesitation, no one’s taking a step. But you, alone, have the power to initiate, and those thousands will eventually follow you. No step is a small step, and every contribution matters in its own way. While caring for the planet isn’t a matter to be saved for June 5, however, it’s a good time to start today and take the pledge to do whatever you can, in order to achieve a sustainable environmental development. Organize a cleaning drive: That’s something you can easily do! You have organized parties before, this time, organize a cleaning drive. Call your friends, friends of friends, office colleagues, acquaintances and family members to be a part of this act. Gather in your neighbourhood or a popular market area and clea
