CCCXXV Global Warming and Climate Change} How much can we expand rainfall levels by simply increasing water vapor content over water?

While that is an excellent question, that is also the "rub", how do we start such an ambitious project with so little history behind it. If we were simply moving water from one area to another, that mankind has been doing for thousands of years, and while many people have claimed to be able to make rain for the right price, we now know, what causes rain to fall, and we need access to moisture, to increase moisture in the atmosphere. With over 70% of the planet covered by water and much of that water is not far from arid and semi-arid areas of the planet, this does give us a starting point. The majority of North and South America's west coasts are bounded by arid and semi-arid areas, producing water vapor in the atmosphere above these sites would not be difficult, but getting the increased water vapor to turn into rainfall at the proper time! That would take a lot of past knowledge, that the weather service has been collecting for many years. Granted probably no one had envisioned it being used to actually produce rainfall, they were collecting the data to see when those areas could expect rainfall. What conditions causes cloud formation and rain over the areas in question? Does that mean that we could make rain on demand? No, but we could greatly increase rainfall by working with conditions that favored increased rainfall if the necessary water vapor would be in the atmosphere when prevailing winds and atmospheric pressures were right. This relationship would take perhaps many years in some parts of the planet for mankind to begin getting results, and in some places, mankind could more easily begin to see benefits fairly quickly!  As I have pointed out "Life Beget's Life" meaning once an area start to have abundant ground cover and the and the resulting plant respiration, naturally increases water vapor, then at least down-wind rainfall amounts will also increase. Increasing rainfall and cloud cover will also help both turning sunlight, into plant energy instead of heat energy and help in reflecting sunlight back into space. This part of the "plan" has some of the biggest unknown, mankind (to my knowledge) has done very little in the way of experimenting with the production of increasing rainfall over dry areas. This was very surprising when I was trying to research the subject, that so little has been attempted, seems to be the case. If anyone out there knows of some studies that have been done, concerning this concept, I would appreciate hearing about it, Dan.

Global Warming and Climate Change} Lost of available carbon vs. too much C02 in atmosphere!

Global Warming and "The life cycle of a planet" By Daniel Kadavy  402-890-7946  Cortland Nebraska                                                                                                                                                                                                                The planet is running out of carbon, which is the mainstay of all life on the planet! Something has to be done to mitigate this. And yet Global Warming is changing ...

503 DIII Humanity is the only species that have to pay to live and survive. while there are a few exceptions to this rule, they are few and far between!

What does that say about how we live? It means that we have very little say in most aspects of our lives if we wish to live in a house, we must pay for that privilege with taxes, energy, insurance, maintenance, and keeping the standards that each place puts upon the owners, cutting grass, moving snow, and so many other requirements to fall within acceptable parameters of society! We must obey laws we may disagree with, nor have any input in their adoption or application! While there are many different arrangements of governments around the world, even the ones that are voted in or out of power by the masses are never truly fair in explaining to their constituents what they are going to attempt to do if elected! Yet this is the world we live in while we attempt to understand what 3.5 billion years of carbon sequestration have forced our planet to go through, including almost every single extinction event that has occurred in the history of our planet!  So the problem that we face is...

CCLXXIV Global Warming and Climate Change} Let's talk more, about the 50,000 gigatonnes of available carbon, that is left for all life on the planet!

First, how do scientist's come up with around 50,000 gigatonnes of available carbon left on the planet? Some of the amounts can be directly measured, how much there is in the atmosphere is one of the most researched numbers on the planet! That figure of 415 parts per million equals around 800 gigatonnes of carbon, in the form of carbon dioxide. 560 gigatonnes in plant and animal life are based on both satellite images for how much plant life is on the planet during the year and measurements that were taken by hundreds of people every year all around the planet. How much soil carbon, is taken by averaging soil carbon from all over the globe this amount is said to be 1,500 gigatonnes. The amount of "fossil Fuels" is the amount of "known" reserves found by mainly oil accompanying who has been looking as far and fast as they can, that amount is estimated at 4,000 gigatonnes (The carbon sequestrated in fossil fuels would only become available if mankind continues to ...
