Life Cycle of a Planet

There can be no doubt, as to the planet's future, with-out mankind, and since mankind has already shown that we can maintain the necessary levels of carbon in the atmosphere for life on this planet as long as mankind can continue to be a viable species on the planet. This means we must remain a viable species not just for ourselves, but for life on the planet as a whole! This also means that while we have enough new carbon dioxide available in the atmosphere to replant almost all of the arid and semi-arid areas of the planet, so that the new increase in cloud cover and rain, will help re-establish much of the planet's lost temperature-regulating ability. We will also be reducing the yields of most C3 plants back to what it was in the 1970s, this will not be a problem because we will have also, increased the land that can produce food, by much more than the loss of yields of standard C3 plants, that relies on how much carbon dioxide is in the atmosphere as one of the limiting fa...

 What were the chances that mankind would reach a state of ability to repair the planet within the last few thousand years of that need? That would depend on your point of view, a large percentage of the planet's population believe in a god, and they would say that this could be the proof, that God put us on this planet at this time, for this very reason. Me, not so much, instead the very fact that evolution takes many twists and turns along its path, and this planet has already seen many extinction events, we could just be seeing another one in a long line, but for the first time a species that has the ability to change the planet's direction have developed and while it took around a million years to do so, (depending on your definition of first man,) now mathematics at least makes the odds much better. 4.5 billion years -1.5 billion years until life was at least on a large percentage of the planet, equals 3 billion / 8 major extinction events equals 375 million years / by 1 m...

That it would be very hard to even look at a different way of thinking! Me I build homes, and take down old buildings, so that the beautiful, and distinctive old wood, can shine again. I love either building something or helping others to be able to build something different! My whole life was never tied up in Global Warming and how to fix it. I was just fascinated, by the causes of the ice-ages, ever since I heard about them as a little kid! Yes like every boy I loved dinosaurs, but everyone did, and a lot more effort was put into understanding all about them, just because of their size and the imagination of kids about the largest, fastest, meanest, whatever, to have lived on the Earth. Just look at how many people watch shark week every year. But the why, how, when, of such a massive change to this planet all caused by ice. And on a repetitive timeline, that suddenly was not being repeated, WHY! (as if suddenly, is an extra 2000-3000 years of an inter-glacier phase?) Science has mad...

 Then replenishing the amount of ice on the planet becomes of utmost importance, if the true purpose is to extend the length of time that all carbon-based life can survive on the planet, then that has different parameters, but the survival of mankind is top of this list also! This is the major difference between the average person's point of view and my understanding of why life on this planet is now directly tied to mankind's survival! There have been so many people that have stated that if mankind was wiped out then the planet's ecosystem would slowly cure all of the damage that we had inflicted upon it! This is not just wrong, but if this were to happen, mankind's disappearance would cause, in as little as 100 years the Earth will enter into the next and last "Ice-age"! There would be a lowering of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere of between 2 and 4 parts per million per year, by the normal sequestration of carbon that has been going on for the last 3 billi...

 Would in itself not be enough to replant and keep those plants alive if it is not done right! But by during large parcels, we will start to change the cloud production over certain areas but not others. This is where past histories of the planet will be of utmost importance, using a backward response to plant life and its loss is how to determine where we will get the most response with the least effort. In arid and semi-arid areas plant life dies in response to two needs, the first one is the amount of rainfall that normally would have fallen on these areas if the plant respiration was enough to increase both cloud cover and rainfall amounts, the second is the availability of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, if the level is high then the plants will not need as much water to survive and produce. Areas that became arid or semi-arid back when the carbon dioxide levels were only at 220 parts per million may rebound a lot better than we would think it should, with the much higher le...

What are we trying to do with "mining the deltas?" The deltas were formed by the silts of many thousands of years of the river bringing the soils from far away In almost every case of the largest rivers on the planet, the water slows down as it comes to the sea or oceans that it empties into, this is not by luck that this happens but caused by the very silt that the rivers have been carrying, many times hundreds to thousands of miles. the river would have found the path of least resistance to the sea or ocean and if in the early years it ended on a cliff high above, the waters would have slowly eroded the surrounding land until it was level with the sea or ocean, then the waters would slow down, and that actions would have caused the heavy load of silt it has been carrying to precipitate out and slow the waters even more and backing up so that a delta would have started being formed, with no longer a single river entering into the sea or ocean but many smaller, fingers stream...

Anything that will directly pay for their keep. That is the beautiful thing about this "plan" The "towns" are not based on everyone making a living by either moving water, silt, farming, or producing products from these endeavors! Once a house is built, there is not a mortgage on the home, it is for those who built it to live in, we all work together as farmers did in the past to start each family off with the requirements for running a successful farm or fishery, or whatever else is needed. Trade between families and others will not be based on money changing hands, but on abilities and effort being used to equal out what everyone will need to move forward. After the basic needs are met those that are better at what they do will be compensated according to those abilities, you grow more fish, more crops, tradesmen whose work is better than others, all will produce money as the excess is sold to the outside world. A scientist whose work is needed but does not produc...
