GAIA
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that Global Warming fears are not only overblown but ‘out of date”.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!!!
