Space Technology

You would have thought that the Copernican revolution would have helped we who live on this planet to see that LFIE isn't just "about us". But then you would have thought that the Protestant revolution would have been a true reformation rather than just a changing out of the infallible gods (we traded an infallible Pope for an infallible Bible). Thus global warming is the hot topic instead of galactic warming. 

 

I thought Al Gore was the main character that didn't get it, but I think John Holdren is the worst of the two.  :-(

 

The president's new science adviser, 65 year old physicist, John Holdren, said Wednesday that global warming is so dire, the Obama administration is discussing radical technologies to cool Earth's air. We're going to cool the earths atmosphere by geo-engineering? Give me a break!

 

John Holdren told The Associated Press in his first interview since being confirmed last month that the idea of geo-engineering the climate is being discussed. One such extreme option includes shooting pollution particles into the upper atmosphere to reflect the sun's rays. Holdren said such an experimental measure would only be used as a last resort. Holdren outlined several "tipping points" involving global warming that could be fast approaching. Once such milestones are reached, such as complete loss of summer sea ice in the Arctic, it increases chances of "really intolerable consequences,".

 

When the entire solar system is heating up do e seriously think what we do HERE is going to change whatever the FORCE or forces are from OUT THERE? Are we still operating on the geocentric-egoic paradigm?

 

Holdren is far from alone in taking geo-engineering more seriously. The National Academy of Science is making climate tinkering the subject of its first workshop in its new multidiscipline climate challenges program. The British parliament has also discussed the idea. The American Meteorological Society is crafting a policy statement on geo-engineering that says "it is prudent to consider geo-engineering's potential, to understand its limits and to avoid rash deployment." And, last week, Princeton scientist Robert Socolow told the National Academy that geo-engineering should be an available option in case climate worsens dramatically.

 

 

Shooting particles into the air or making an artificial volcano as one Nobel laureate has suggested—could have grave side effects and would not completely solve all the problems from soaring greenhouse gas emissions. We should be pondering a real volcano blast, a super-volcanic one from Yellowstone first. But alas, we still think the earth is the center of the universe and that we can solve all problems with our brilliant neo-cortex.

 

Give it a rest. December 21, 2012 is more about our intuitive and increased consciousness than what our pea-brains can output.

As a spiritual-futurist, I have a BA degree majoring in history. One cannot know the future without knowing the past which holds clues to what is on the horizon. The world is in such a rapid expansion of knowledge that we are close to entering a tipping point that will forever change earth as we know it.
