CCCXXIX Global Warming and Climate Change} Last post we talked about why mankind would be resistant to being the saviors of the planet.

          I am going to throw out a few ideas that may be employed to repair the planet, but would really be about putting 50,000,000 people to work being their own bosses as 20 acres truck farming families, that would produce goods that the planet needs! The United Nations would be in charge of the foundation that would oversee "Project Self-Reliant" (or some other name that conveys that ideal). Since this is such a huge project, the oversite foundation would need to be made up of elected members that can only serve 1, 4-year term and every year 25% of them would be term-limited out, this would keep some balance, on greed by opportunity, but other oversite would be needed continuously, those in charge are not the only ones to find a way to profit. Since the overall need of replanting the arid and semi-arid areas of the planet is to keep carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere from putting too much strain on the temperature-regulating ability of the planet,...

CCCXXVIII Global Warming and Climate Change} Why do so many people dislike the idea that mankind is the planet's last chance?

          I relate this to people's need for religion, and their need for a strong government, that there is something bigger than they are. We all start out as children with someone else in charge, teaching us, showing us how things work, and what is our place in the grand scheme of things. Those of us that are looking for power and control of others, seldom do it because of trying to improve others' lives but feel that they deserve to lead others, and the perks that they receive are truly deserved. Those that are willing to follow, somehow feel that those in power truly are different from the masses, we see this throughout history. Kings and Queens, Emperors, and Pharaohs, Dictators. Even in America, where the whole idea of that type of royalty, is only a myth, we still elect many on the basis of their names and affiliations, and the fact that the elder politician was found to be guilty of misusing the trust of their constituents, had no adverse effect on...

CCCXXVII Global Warming and Climate Change} Making more snow and ice to be staged around the planet!

          Many people will say that we can not have our replanted deserts, and maintain ice and snow in the quantities that mankind is used to! This is simply too large of a job without producing enough income to justify the cost. If we tried to maintain every glacier on the planet they may, be correct. But The Antarctic is a very large continent, and is very well positioned to be able to stage a lot more ice than mankind would need to stage to keep the balance of warm and cold. This will only be true because we would be removing much of the "hot" once the "plan" has become operational! The equator works as a boundary for both ocean currents and winds, without this boundary, much of the stable climate of the planet would become even more complicated than it is! The continents completely control the ocean currents' east-west movements. We really are at just the starting point of understanding how our planet work's, many are saying that our livestock is creat...

CCCXXVI Global Warming and Climate Change} Can we actually decrease the temperature of the Atlantic Ocean off of the coast of North Africa?

If we could, then we could decrease some of the formations of tropical storms that develop over those warm waters. The change of liquid water to water vapor takes energy, this energy lost from the warm Atlantic Ocean even in microscopic amounts can add up to being the difference of whether or not first, a tropical depression forms and then into a tropical storm, and then into a hurricane! How much water would be needed to be vaporized into the atmosphere, to make a difference could be substantial but would also benefit cloud cover and rainfall, both would lead to cooler temperatures in the surrounding area, again reducing heat generation! Warm waters are the power source, for storm development, reducing the ability of the sun to heat those waters, by creating much more water vapor in the atmosphere, leading to sunlight reflective cloud cover, which will create that needed domino effect that helps in temperature-regulation of the planet. While the ocean water temperature is very importa...

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 en...

CCCXXIV Global Warming and Climate Change} Where is "Lisbeth Salander" when you need a good hacker to send "Life cycle of a planet" to everyone

 She could even have prevented everyone from just hitting delete until the paper had been scroll down as if it had been read! The old saying "you can lead a horse to water but you can not make it drink" would apply here. What dreams are made of, but I have a tough time e-mailing people, let alone getting attention for my posts and papers. That is where, anyone who does read my posts and papers comes in. Just because you have found them, do not think that others will pass them along, it seems that no one else is doing so! My best guess is that less than 30 people have come across my site, by looking at the numbers that download any one post, The highest number for that has been 27 hits over a 24 hour period. But my normal average is more like 15 hits over a 24 hour period. Even if this was showing a slow but steady increase I would interpret that as good news, which is not the case. Guys, the data is all there, easy to verify, simple to download, People tell me that to send th...

CCCXXIII Global Warming and Climate Change} Proof is a very difficult thing to find in science, even after hundreds of years,we have only theorems!

          And that is in mathematics, one of the purest of the sciences. Climate science has so many variables and inter-dependent systems, that to try and look into the future and predict with any certainty what outcome can be expected with changing inputs, would at first glance seem ridiculous at the best of times. Thankfully that is "not" what we are striving to do!                                                                                                                                What the "plan" does is recreate the past, many will say that is what today's scientists are also striving to do, recreate the past climate th...
