I AM THE EARTH



 Global Warming is a frightening occurence which like a cattle of crazy buffalos is furiously running towards us at an accelerating pace. Will we wait until these weather-buffalos trample us underfoot ? Global Warming doesn't know our frontiers and even less our thought-systems and conflictual petty and neurotic interests which are using these thought-systems as a pretence.
 Heatwaves killed several thousands people in 2015, sweet water becomes scarce even in California, poles are melting at a huge speed and according to the NGO Dara, each year CO2 emissions kill some five million people throughout the world. It is scientifically observed that natural disasters become more violent and occur more often year after year.
 Facing this global danger that affects all of us alike, we continue our routine little power quest as well as economical and ideological conflicts which distract us from an organized and common answer to Global Warming which is absolutely necessary. Our neurotic acting outs gobble thousands of billion dollars a year in diverse distractions as well as in weaponery while we do not find a hundred billion dollars a year to answer Global Warming's effetcs.
 Facing our possible extinction as a species or at least the total disruption and dislocation of our civilization, the world should decrete a global state of urgency. Continuing the leisury indolence that keeps us removed in our electro-smoky dreams and our frantic supremacy strategies that only feed a planetary state of conflict will not save us. And neither rejecting the blame upon others will do the job. We are all partners in crime. Insanity, which is an escape from our unresolved early pains, is a luxury we cannot afford anymore. We must become wise and soon

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
