The Methane Time Bomb is going off!! New Peter Wadhams talk on Methane

"redistribute political power to MUCH MUCH lower levels?" Yes there is a reason that EVERY congressional district in the US has a major military contractor - don't want to lose all those "jobs"! haha. Actually the judge dropped all our charges after I gave my testimonial - saying that the attorney general should revoke the corporate charter of Alliant Tech (my dad was the assistant attorney general of Minnesota). Anyway - yes the political power distribution is hard-wired into our technological power - both are based on logarithmic/exponential math that goes back to Plato as the "Greek Miracle."

New Peter Wadhams interview on methane

As for the "methane bomb" that I mentioned and you responded: "Methane bombs are purely theoretical and the effects are localized and short lived." Actually I corresponded with Dr. Mark Serreze on this topic - he is the director of the National Snow and Ice Data Center in Colorado. At first he said - over a year ago - he replied to me that "abrupt methane eruptions" were - what was the term - "sensationalism." Sounds like your view right? But then Dr. Serreze was quoted last fall saying that the Arctic melting was "Crazy, Crazy!" So I emailed him again and now he said - well Dr. Natalia Shakhova is the "expert" on methane in the arctic but he still considered the Methane Bomb to be a "low probability." Then he sent me a link to one of her studies. Too funny!

He sent me the SAME link that I had sent him when I first contacted him. So I replied with the quote from Dr. Natalia Shakhova about how "each year matters" for the methane bomb to double global warming immediately. Now if he admits she's the EXPERT - then why does he still think it's a "low probability"? Also I sent him her latest published report that repeats once again, when the ice is gone then the methane bomb will go off. NOW.... Dr. Peter Wadhams gives us the answer as to why Dr. Mark Serreze doesn't know what he's talking about.

Serreze is relying on "models" of supercomputers while both Shakhova and Wadhams have gone to the arctic to do the actual empirical research. So Wadhams, having gone to the arctic to study the ice, 50 times - he agrees with Shakhova that the Methane Bomb could go off any year and its effect will be global. The general issue here is what Professor Naomi Oreskes identified in her history of science book on plate tectonics. I was promoting her book around 12 years ago - she detailed how US scientists rely on Deductive models and so it took US scientists decades to accept plate tectonics! The Brits in contrast relied on empirical data.

So then after I read her book on plate tectonics I was very glad to discover she switched to focusing on global warming (where the same problem has happened). Of course first she exposed how the corporate-state junk science has used the PR industry to cover up and lie and do mass mind control about the problem. haha. Merchants of Doubt was that book title with a great documentary that went along with it.

Methane Time Bomb science study

 1988? I started a recycling program at my high school, then I started riding my bicycle to school - it was 15 miles each way so didn't do that much. But I did fill 2 garbage bags full of JUST cigarette butts along the Mississippi river...1989? Full time job for Citizens for a Better environment - rode bicycle to work. 1990? Lived in a cabin in the wilderness in Alaska - no running water, no electricity, no heat, no phone, no car, for 4 months, just south of steepest mountain the world. 1991? Joined the University of Wisconsin Greens, began protesting against US imperial genocide and ecocide. (FBI starts a file on me). 1992? Studied conservation biology and sustainable development for a college semester in Costa Rica - School for Field Studies.

1994 - finish a new degree in International Relations with environmental sustainability option - realize that academic science is completely against sustainability with economics lying about biology and political science lying about biology. I get arrested to protest nuclear waste being stored in the Mississippi river and I get assaulted by a police officer. 1995 - more protesting against corporate-state destruction of the planet and I realize we are doomed. - 1996 work for Greenpeace, my boss tells me that his biggest concern is global warming. After that - I kept doing activism but mainly just for "fun" - just to fill the time in - and 1999 - I started at Clean Water Action part time - worked there for 10 years. Then in 2009 I took off an old 3 speed bicycle - left the big city - started pulling out all the invasive buckthorn and began farming. Here we are ten years later - bought some land up north for the accelerating eco-apocalypse.

YEAH did you see that movie, "The Day After"? I've pretty much been losing sleep since then.... I saw it on t.v. when it was released. Great movie!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iyy9n8r16hs 1983 - so I was 12 years old. So actually I've been losing sleep for 35 years. Nuclear apocalypse and abrupt global warming ecocide go together.

 yes GEE McFearSun's big point is that we need viable ecological habitat and that the meltdown of the 450 nuclear power plants would destroy such viable ecological habitat. Your emphasis on the phrase "single human" is a psychological inversion of what the self-fulfilling prophecy of Western imperial Platonic Christianity believes, to wit: That because one single human died, therefore all Christians (who pledge to the imperial Western system) will survive the apocalypse and be born again in flesh.

It is a convenient belief but actually originates from the Platonic concept of the "Unit" as a transcendental materialism of geometry - the "process" of geometry as an idealistic materialism of technology. An excellent book exposing this structural drive of the West is former MIT history professor David F. Noble's book "The Religion of Technology" and his final book was a follow up - "Myth of the Promised Land." If you are "not the ONE" (meaning if you truly are NEO) and you can escape the Matrix to recreate Zion on Earth, then the best of luck for you. Personally I think you're view is a Westernized anthropocentric fantasy that is boring.
