Fighting Fire With Fire

Those of you who thought the coalition of scheming politicians, opportunistic NGOs and third rate scientists who have been scare mongering about global warming were irritating but harmless are about to discover the harsh truth.

Most of these dangerous idiots want to tax the living daylights out of you and restrict your lifestyle to such an extent that even George Orwell would have trouble believing things could get so bad. And now they want to use “science” to cool the earth down and reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

You’ve already lost your say in the matter, and if you remain silent and acquiescent for much longer, it will be too late for you to even try and stop them.

The first plan to reduce atmospheric carbon dioxide is already in progress. It involves dumping rusty iron filings into the ocean. The supposed benefit to this act of lunacy is the iron increases the growth of plankton and algae. This marine life extracts carbon dioxide from the air through photosynthesis and also provides food for other marine life.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) gave a guarded endorsement of the scheme. Planktos Inc. of Foster City, California has already started dumping iron into the Pacific Ocean and recently launched its latest ship, Weatherbird II, for that purpose. This might be the first time in history a company has been formed for the sole purpose of causing pollution.

Planktos is financed by companies and individuals who have been duped into buying “carbon credits” to offset their use of fossil fuels.

Even the IPCC has reservations about the effects of large scale iron dumping in oceans. Seeing as anything other than extremely large scale iron dumping is not going to have the slightest effect on atmospheric carbon dioxide levels, this does rule out the possibility of this being a sane attempt at a solution.

It has been pointed out that dumping massive amounts of rusty iron filings into the ocean would lead to a dramatic difference on ocean temperatures at different levels, which in turn would have a devastating impact on marine life. Blanketing the oceans with plankton and algae would also reduce the amount of light in the oceans and the oxygen levels would change.

The cretins who dreamed up this scheme probably envision the algae providing a superabundance of food for other marine life. If the right kind of algae grows at the right time and in the right place, this is just about feasible. What if the algae is poisonous? Toxic algae is already a massive problem around the world. When red algae blooms under natural conditions, it exterminates practically all lifeforms it encounters. And right now, as you read this, a company in California is dedicated to dumping enough rusty iron in the oceans to cause a marine equivalent of the bubonic plague.

The worst thing of all is you can’t stop them. Planktos is dumping the rusty iron in international waters and needs no permits to do so.

Moving on from this relatively benign attempt to solve the non-existent problem of global warming, some scientists have proposed spending billions of dollars to pump sulphates into our atmosphere. The plan would require pumping tens of thousands of tonnes each month into our already-polluted atmosphere. The loonies behind this proposal were inspired by the volcanoes of Mount St Helens and Mount Pinatubo which both cooled the earth for about a year after erupting in 1980 and 1992 respectively.

The fact that a Nobel laureate could approve such a plan beggars belief, but Paul Crutzen is one of those advocating this approach. If it starts raining sulphuric acid in your neighborhood you know who to blame. If you receive a bill for the cost of sending those sulphates into the atmosphere in the first place – and rest assured you would be the one paying for it – then it’s your fault for letting these madmen get away with such acts.

When the going gets weird, you can always count on scientists to compete to the very end in their quest to outdo each other. Roger Angel of the University of Arizona proposes building a giant sunshade made up of 16 trillion miniature shades. He estimates it would take 20 million rocket launches, with 800,000 mini shades per rocket, to get the job done. Angel estimates the cost of this solar shade at around $4 trillion, spread over 30 years.

Clearly, the man is hopeless at finances. Even if the cost of a single rocket launch could somehow be reduced to a mere one million dollars, that would still result in $20 trillion being spent on rocket launches alone. Assuming it became possible to launch one rocket every hour, on the hour, until the job is done, it would still take 833,333 days or over 2,283 years to complete just the launch phase of the project. I’m all in favour of forward planning, but that’s taking it to extremes.

Assuming the constraints of time and money were somehow overcome, what would be the effect on our planet? How can blocking the sun’s rays be a good thing? Sunshine is vital for plants and animals. Not just in the obvious ways, such as helping crops ripen. Sunshine provides helps our bodies generate vitamins and has a profound psychological impact on us all. Roger Angel is proposing a plan that would cost perhaps 30 or 40 trillion dollars in order to take sunshine out of our lives.

Last, but perhaps not least, is a plan to build millions of towers about 200 feet high with carbon dioxide extractors on the top. The next stage is to somehow dispose of the extracted carbon dioxide safely, perhaps by burying in disused oil wells. No one has quite worked out how to build such a carbon dioxide extractor, or how to provide the power needed to make them work. Nor have they figured out how to dispose of the captured product. Needless to say, the costs haven’t been worked out, either. One thing you can count on – this would cost far, far more than it’s worth, and you would be lumbered with the bill.

All these schemes are being studied with a view to being conducted in your name. This is a direct consequence of accepting the lies, distortions and mindless conjecture that the global warming fraudsters have been shrieking at you over the past few years. If this is not what you want, you have to let them know right now.
