Space is key to monitoring ocean acidification

This week, the UN World Meteorological Organization announced that concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere have reached yet another high. This ongoing trend is not only heating up the planet, but also affecting the chemical composition of our oceans. Until recently, it has been difficult to monitor ‘ocean acidification’, but scientists are exploring new ways to combine information from different sources, including from ESA’s SMOS mission, to shed new light on this major environmental concern.

How could it look like?

How could it look like?




The monetary system – that gives incentives – to be good humans – developing living sustainable lifes – passing on that knowledge of sustainable survival to children and grand-children.




Now Democracy is as corrupted as it is now – mankind desperately needs better ways to cooperate – in peace.


Survival on Mars will be way tougher than on Earth.

Even on our beloved blue “space ship” Earth and a lot of people struggle to survive even on Earth – largely triggered by non-sustainable lifestyles and the ignorance of the rich that derive their riches largely from privileges/rights on possessions (real estate, companies, mines, fishy profit shoveling laws) and powerful to not bring about self-sustainable-change which would free the poor from poverty.

Some try – and i respect those who try – but unless a critical mass does all one can do – to improve survival on Earth and Mars – mankind has no future.

Real Climate Science....
61% Fake Data.The vast majority of high quality long-term temperature data comes from the US,and in fact much of the planet has little or no long-term temperature data. Because of the poor coverage,it is doubtful that the published global temperature record has any scientific validity.The US is one of very few places with reliable temperature data.
In 1986, NASA’s top climate scientist James Hansen predicted the US would heat up 4-6 degrees by 2020 (next year.)But three years later, NOAA reported that there had been no warming in the US over the past century.
In 1986, NASA’s top climate scientist James Hansen predicted the US would heat up 4-6 degrees by 2020 (next year.)But three years later, NOAA reported that there had been no warming in the US over the past century.And by 1999, Hansen’s US temperature data (left graph below) showed cooling since the 1940s.
in the U.S. there has been little temperature change in the past 50 years, the time of rapidly increasing greenhouse gases — in fact, there was a slight cooling throughout much of the country.

This was very disturbing to both NASA and NOAA.Their CO2 warming theory was failing badly,so they simply changed the data, turning cooling into warming.This happened at the same time Michael Mann was erasing the Medieval Warm Period.The blue line below shows the five year mean of the average annual temperature at all NOAA United States Historical Climatology Network Stations.The red line shows the graph they release to the public,which has been highly altered to create the appearance of warming, which does not exist in the thermometer data.

If they believe there is error in the data, the correct way to handle it is to leave the data intact, and put error bars on it. Not alter the data and pass it to the public as if it represents the actual thermometer data.

The next graph shows the adjustments they are making, which creates a spectacular hockey stick of data tampering since the 1960s.Plotted with atmospheric CO2 on the X-axis instead of time, it becomes apparent that the data is being altered precisely (R² = 0.97) to match global warming theory. The ultimate junk science.

Most of the recent data tampering has been due to simply making data up. In their monthly temperature data, they mark estimated (as opposed to measured) temperatures with a capital “E.” So far in 2019, sixty-one percent of the monthly temperature data is now estimated by a computer model, rather than actual measured thermometer data. The amount of fake data is up 500% since 30 years ago.

Almost all of the US warming since 1990 is due to fake data from computer models, which now makes up 60% of the data.The fake data is running two degrees warmer than the measured adjusted data. Not hard to create warming when you are simply making the data up.

The #Ocean Is Sinking into Earth’s Mantle, and a Dead Supercontinent Is Partly to Blame

By Brandon Specktor June 10, 2019 #Planet #Earth

Every year, billions of gallons of ocean water fall into the Earth at tectonic plate boundaries, then gush back out at hydrothermal vents like the one seen here. A new study shows that this deep water cycle may contribute to hundreds of feet of sea level loss over time.

The ocean is a big bathtub full of 326 million cubic miles (1.3 billion cubic kilometers) of water, and somebody has unplugged the drain.

Every day, hundreds of millions of gallons of water stream from the bottom of the ocean into Earth's mantle as part of a very wet recycling program that scientists call the deep water cycle. It works like this: First, water soaked up in the crust and minerals at the bottom of the sea both get shoved into Earth's interior at the undersea boundaries where tectonic plates collide. Some of that water stays trapped (some studies estimate that two to four oceans’ worth of water are sloshing through the mantle), but large amounts of that water get spewed back to the surface via underwater volcanoes and hydrothermal vents. [50 Interesting Facts About Planet Earth]

It's not a perfect system; scientists think there's currently a lot more water plunging into the mantle than spewing out of it — but that's OK. Overall, this cycle is just one cog in the machine that determines whether the world's oceans rise or fall.

Now, in a study published May 17 in the journal Geochemistry, Geophysics and Geosystems, researchers report that this cog may be more improtant than previously thought. By modeling the fluxes in the deep water cycle over the last 230 million years, the study authors found that there were times in Earth's #history when the gargantuan amount of water sinking into the mantle played an outsize role in sea level; during those times, the #deep #water #cycle alone may have contributed to 430 feet (130 meters) of #sea-level loss, thanks to one world-changing event: the breakup of the supercontinent Pangaea.

Earlier, the West used this colonial manipulation immediately after the collapse of the USSR:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyoto_Protocol
The consequences of this treaty: Western Europe has outsourced its harmful and environmentally unfriendly production to the East.
http://www.bloha.info/view/articles/1011642/

After the report on the state and environmental protection of the Russian Federation, Yasnaya Polyana was included in the list of settlements most affected by air pollution with various harmful substances.
Shchekinoazot, which is known to produce urea-formaldehyde concentrate, was concerned about pollution data that appeared in the media.
According to some reports, the degree of air pollution with formaldehyde in Yasnaya Polyana has exceeded 20 times the limit of its maximum permissible concentration.

Yasnaya Polyana is the place where i was born. This example from my personal experience.
The USA advertised this Kyoto protocol most of all and was its initiator, but as a result the USA declined ratification of it, because the US scientists demonstrated to public that there are no scientific justifications for this:
http://www.petitionproject.org/


The next year, this treaty expires, the term of the Western artificial limitation of the industrial development of developing countries under the guise of "caring for nature" ends (i hope my example about farmaldehyde in Yasnaya Polyana clearly showed how the West takes care of its ecology). It seems that the next stage of this neocolonial undertaking is being prepared.

Kyoto Protocol extended to 2020 to fight climate change
Published: 12:00am, 9 Dec, 2012

According to independent researchers, the Rockefeller family took a major part in lobbying the Kyoto Protocol:
https://www.globalresearch.ca/rockefeller-familys-covert-climate-change-plan/5678775

What is important, however, is to acknowledge the role of the Rockefeller family –which historically was the architect of “Big Oil”– in supporting the Climate Change debate as well as the funding of scientists, environmentalists and NGOs involved in grassroots activism against “Big Oil” and the fossil fuel industry.

Apparently, many Western youth environmental initiatives, widely covered by the media, are also not without the support of the Rockefeller charitable organizations, since their activities began to be covered just before the deadline for the Kyoto Protocol. The materials of independent researchers confirm this:

http://www.wrongkindofgreen.org/2019/05/06/extinction-rebellion-training-or-how-to-control-radical-resistance-from-the-obstructive-left/

The US Congress deprived the Rockefeller family of profits from oil production. Therefore, they acquired deposits of rare earth elements in the Western colonies. Rare earth elements are necessary for the functioning of renewable energy sources, for which this environmental campaign was started. Most of the resources needed for renewable energy are concentrated in Africa. Often, child slave labor is used in mines, so that progressive Western consumers can refuse coal and oil in favor of "clean" energy.

Last year, 70 percent of the world’s cobalt came from the DRC, a country that has been a target of widespread criticism for its labor practices, such as using children as young as six to work in cobalt mines.

Two amazing and inspiring women making a difference for the good of the planet and everyone who calls it their home 🌍💚✌️ We hope to make it over to Plymouth tomorrow to wish @gretathunberg a safe voyage across the Atlantic Ocean to New York.
She is embarking on a 2 week sailing trip on a 60ft racing yacht to travel using clean energy ... What a mission and isn't she living with such conviction!
If Greta does so can we... Everyday we all have to make choices, let's make time to really think over those carefully and become aware of what we choose and how that impacts the Earth and everything on it.
Take it seriously...we can work together to make a change 🌈

HOW TO FEED MANKIND

What can „the West“ do?

„the West“ can start cultivating food in raised beds in towns. „the West“ can start community gardens and oblige every citizen to work their own 500m2 of land for a healthy exercise and locally grown food.

Now to the Southamerica: Brazil wants to turn all of the rain forest into agricultural land in an unsustainable „copy the west“ fashion.





This is a mistake – work more clever!

If you want, burn the bush, but leave the big trees standing! (no bulldozing! logging!)

Work with high tech countries to build 100% autonomous agricultural robots, that work around the big trees.

Because of the shade of the big trees, the soil keeps moisture better = more water/no drought = no erosion = better and more harvest.




This is exactly what the Chief Raoni Metuktire of the Kayapó tribe wants as well and anything else is stupid – because after a few years erosion (rain and wind) will destroy/wash away the agricultural land.

…and is reason an option to profits or not? Depends on the intensity of leadership-ignorance.

Wheat / Weizen harvest was „not good“ this year in Europe.



Climate change?

Policies change?

Crops change because of climate change and market?

There is no Infinite growth, but when are critical limits reached?

(current financial system needs growth / expansion – otherwise – it collapses)

Or has the concept of the Agrar-Chemical-Industrial-Complex FAILED.





May 17th. 2006. Santarem (Amazon, Para State, Brazil)
Greenpeace volunteers displayed a 300 square metre banner on a soya plantation grown in the heart of the Amazon rainforest, accusing fast food company KFC of Amazon crimes. KFC is fuelling the destruction of the Amazon by selling cheap chicken fed on soya grown on deforested Amazon land. The expansion of soya is one of the leading causes of forest destruction in the Amazon. Greenpeace/Markus Mauthe

The difference with soy bean farming nowadays and what the native south american did in the amazonas is: yes they also burned the forest – but they did not pull out every single tree!

Sistema Agroflorestal da Marieta

Many trees survive bushfires and shoot green sprouds afterwards.

The ashes of these bushfires conserve nutritiens in the soil (adding animal and human manure and other biological wastes) resulting in a 2m thick TERRA PRETA.



To the left, an oxisol poor in nutrients, typical of the Amazon basin; right, oxisol transformed into fertile terra preta. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terra_preta

TERRA PRETAis a over centuries-man-made very fertile soil. Usually layers of fertile soil in the amazonas jungle is NOT THAT THICK. 10-15 million native southamerican humans actually managed to do – what „modern“ society/high-tech-apes/science is failing: farming the land – and making it more fertile at the same time.

The wood-coal-ash in the soil giving it it’s dark color – conserves the nutritions in the soil over hunders of years!

OFCOURSE: IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO DRIVE A TRACTOR IN THE JUNGLE – THATS WHY THEY PULL OUT ALL THE TREES! BASICALLY DESTABILIZING THE ECOSYSTEM!

Thats how it works: EXPLOITATION! EXPLOITATION! EXPLOITATION!

Exploitation of humans, of nature, of resources – that’s what all the „profits“ come from.

It is not about „democracy“ or „freedom“ or „responsibility“ or „cultivating sustainability“. it is about EXPLOITATION ONLY.

EXPLOIT EXPLOIT UNTIL THERE IS NOTHING LEFT TO EXPLOIT – BECAUSE IT COLLAPSED.



Because shit is not shit – it is nutrients for plants – but „modern“ people pay for it – to be flushed away with drinkable water…

it’s how you cultivate life and the ecosystem earth – that will bring your mankind’s children a future or not.



Maybe „EFFICIENCY“ is not „EVERYTHING WE NEED“. Because if we ACTIVELY DESTROY BIODIVERSITY AND CREATE MONO CULTURES IN EVERY ASPECT OF OUR LIVES AND ECOSYSTEMS – INSTABILITY INCREASES.

Who loves to increase the instability in the ecosystem mankind’s survival depends on?

The arms-industry – but only „short term“ – because even a CEOs of Lockheed Martin has to breathe air – drink water and eat something that is not killing him immediately.

In German:

„Der Deutsche Raiffeisenverband (DRV) geht in seiner Ernteschätzung für August nur noch von einer unterdurchschnittlichen Getreideernte in Höhe von knapp 44,9 Mio. t aus. Das erwartete Ergebnis liegt deutlich unter dem Wert des Vormonats von 47,5 Mio. t.

Grund für diese Anpassung sind die wesentlich niedriger geschätzten Hektarerträge bei allen Getreidearten. Das diesjährige Ergebnis bleibt um mehr als 8 Prozent hinter dem Vorjahreswert von 48,8 Mio. t zurück.“

… klappt wohl doch nicht so ganz mit dem Konzept der AgrarChemieIndustrie. Böden gehen Hops. Klimawandel tut sein übriges.

Would you like to reduce your impact on Earth?

Website http://impact.babetteporcelijn.com/en/#/ is really good if you would like to learn how many Earths would we need if everybody lived your lifestyle. Unfortunately, it does not help much if you also interested in how could you effectively reduce your impact.

That is why I filled the survey plenty of times to extract the ratios the website calculates with. Here are they scaled to 0.1 Earths make them easier to compare:

Roughly 0.1 Earths would be required if everyone of us would do any of the following.
buying new cloths: 2 items/month
spending on things: 14 euros/month
eating meat: 170 grams/week
eating cheese: 1 600 grams/week
eating/drinking other dairy products: 1.3 liters/week
eating eggs: 70 eggs/week
eating/drinking other foods and drinks: 7 700 grams/week
driving: 2 100 km/year
flying: 2 500 km/year
traveling by public transport: 22 880 km/year
living in: 12 m²
showering: 8 minutes/day
Here you can download the .ods file that I have created to calculate these numbers and by which you can easily fine tune your hidden impact: TuneYourHiddenImpact.ods.

Lake Natron, Tanzania

Image:

The Copernicus Sentinel-2 mission takes us over two saline lakes in East Africa: the larger Lake Natron in northern Tanzania and the smaller Lake Magadi, just over the border in Kenya.

Lake Natron is around 60 km long and is fed mainly by the Ewaso Ng'iro River. Despite its dark colour in this image, Lake Natron is often bright red owing to the presence of microorganisms that feed on the salts of the water.

The saline waters make the lake inhospitable for many plants and animals, yet the surrounding salt water marshes are a surprising habitat for flamingos. In fact, the lake is home to the highest concentrations of lesser and greater flamingos in East Africa, where they feed on spirulina – a green algae with red pigments.

The extinct Gelai Volcano, standing at 2942 m tall, is visible southeast of the lake.

The pink-coloured waters of Lake Magadi can also be seen at the top of the image. The lake is over 30 km long and has a notably high salt content, and in some places the salt is up to 40 metres thick. The mineral trona can also be found in the lake’s waters. This mineral is collected and used for glass manufacturing, fabric dyeing and paper production.

Copernicus Sentinel-2 is a two-satellite mission to supply the coverage and data delivery needed for Europe’s Copernicus programme. The mission’s frequent revisits over the same area and high spatial resolution allow changes in inland water bodies to be closely monitored.

This image, which was captured on 3 February 2019, is also featured on the Earth from Space video programme.
