GAIA

 Surprise, Surprise and Surprise again

 1.Global Warming Russian Roulette

Time magazine gave it a tiny highlight, Sept. 23, 2013, p. 7 under the heading “60% increase in ice-covered ocean” but the Daily Mail of Britain gave the news the coverage it deserves.

The detailed story from September 7, 2013 online (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2415191/Global-cooling-Arctic-ice-caps-grows-60-global-warming-predictions.html) reports that Global Warming fears are not only overblown but ‘out of date”. 

Yes, say goodbye to fears of Global Warming and say hello to a mini-ice age return!

Predictions of the north Pole ice cap disappearing are proving ‘prematures’ as NASA satellite photographs from this August, newly released, show the ice cap has increased by 60% over this summer compared to 2012, and is expected to expand even further once ‘real winter’ sets in.

This, according to some scientists, marks a return to colder temperatures in general and reinforces the fact Global Warming temperatures peaked in 1997!!!

Put simply, the computer models and hysteria about human created greenhouse gases are not consistent with the facts -- though diehard environmentalists are sure to deny the error of their ways.

 

2. Underwater Hide and Seek

Time magazine, in the above Sept. 23, 2013 issue, p. 11 in the right sidebar, mentions another startling fact.

An undersea volcano some 119,000 sq. miles in size, now named Tamu Massif,   has been discovered just east of Japan, some 4 miles below the sea’s surface.  It is roughly the size of the US state of New Mexico!!!

So, what should we humans make of these 2 recent revelations?

1. There are more secrets to Gaia and how the planet works than we mere human ants are         aware of.

2. Predicting the planet’s future based on human ‘interference’  is a fool’s game.  We are ants in the greater scheme of this planet, its eco-systems and natural adaptability.

 

3. Missing garbage dump

The Water Brothers second season documentary “Plastic Oceans” aired Sept. 15, 2013 on TVO and tried to argue that plastic is a huge menace to the world’s oceans and water life systems.

The brothers took a sailboat trip with oceanographers and environmentalists to track plastic in the Pacific Ocean and find the great garbage swirl -- supposedly twice the size of Texas -- in mid-Pacific.

They showed an animated world map and explained the theory: ocean currents in the Pacific, the Atlantic, and all large water bodies create a swirling effect and build up debris in the centre.  This is the basis of the ocean garbage-dumps theory that has been popularized and accepted almost universally as ‘fact’.

Well, their scientific water screening techniques across the Pacific found mostly minute and relatively few bits of plastic per trawl, and of course, they NEVER FOUND THE GIANT GARBAGE SWIRL : TWICE THE SIZE OF TEXAS – because none exists – not even a tiny hamlet size.  

Satellite photos should have destroyed this urban myth long ago, but, hey, plastic is evil so any rumoured garbage pile and related ocean swirl theory must be true.

But NO, it is all poppycock and I could use stronger language but this is a public blog.

The truth is that plastic is a product of nature (made from crude oil, natural gas, soy, corn or hemp – which all contain hydrocarbons [Seehttp://www.wisegeek.org/how-is-plastic-made.htm#slideshow} ).  And it will be broken up by ocean microbes and sunlight just like the BP Caribbean oil spill that traumatized environmentalists for naught.

It is true many plastics take a long time to dissolve, but so do all the other garbage humans have deposited in the oceans over the centuries: sunken wooden and metal ships smashed into fragments by storm or canon ball attack.  Sunken cargo ships filled with gold, silver, or rusting iron litter the seven seas as do crashed airplanes, space mission jumbo rocket tanks and much else.

Remember the song about the Edmund Fitzgerald – that iron ore carrying vessel that met its doom in Lake Superior in 1975 – along with its human crew of 29?

Remember the Titanic?

The Fukushima tsunami of 2011 ran up to 10 kilometers inland and directly along the coastline, or when pulling back to sea, took with it an enormous amount of crushed debris, homes, and their contents – as do every tsunami.  Floods and torrential rivers do the same as they wash down stream entire homes and their contents, bridges and asphalt roads ( made from bitumen – a thick form of petroleum like the Alberta tar sands oil).

The same with hurricanes – as we call them in the northern hemisphere - and cyclones in the southern hemisphere. Hurricanes Katrina or Sandy added enormous debris of various kinds into the Caribbean and Atlantic as they sucked up items and then wind dispersed them as they rolled over the islands of the Caribbean and then rolled up the U.S. coast.  Such storms which range for 100 miles in diameter and up to 500 miles add immense water ‘contamination’, seeding the oceans with all types and sizes of plastic, glass, metal and wood refuse.

 

But environmentalists, with their blinkers on, only see or seek as ‘explanations’ human planned or unplanned activities.

 

The real truth?

The human ant has been adding ‘debris’ into the world’s waters for millennium – usually by accident, and never in enough quantity to cause any extensive or long lasting harm.

Gaia is too resilient and the oceans are too vast!!!
