So the idea here is that science and technology CAN save the planet. I mean it's worked so far right? We only have the FASTEST rate of biological annihilation in Earth's history - by 10 times at least...
But GEE thinks the Mirror engineering project will work?
I asked Dr. Jim Massa what he thinks about this. He's an oceanographer. The mirrors are to be placed in the ocean....
So he should respond at some point. He's dismissed ALL geoengineering projects thus far.
I do think that science is inherently biased against the interest of reality.
GEE is hoping to attract the interest of the rich.
Scientists have always been dependent on the Aristocrats.
Plato was an Oil Merchant - spreading ARchytas science as a military engineer.
Galileo got funded by the Aristocracy because Galileo said he could cut down on Labor Costs.
Professor David F. Noble detailed in his book, "America By Design" that science is controlled by elite Nonprofits.
The fact is that scientists are Brown-No$ers hoping for Bourgeois Techno-Engineering Solutions as detailed in Professor David F. Noble's book, "The Religion of Technology."
And so that's why GEE is so against the "activists" - his remarks about how he doesn't want other people to be like Extinction Rebellion where they are in prison for six months.
So in other words the ONLY solution is the Techno-Fix solution according to GEE McFearSun because otherwise we are doomed.
This is also Slavoj Zizek's view - he attacks EcoFeminists and New Agers as both living in the Fantasy world. His 1997 book, "the Plague of Fantasies" was directly based on my critique of his work - from my perspective of Ecofeminism and the Paranormal (not the same as the New Age but they get lumped together by those who don't know better).
Hmm...
If we look at the Trajectory of Technology, as Hazel Henderson points out in her book, "Politics of the Solar Age" - there is a DIMINISHING RATE OF RETURN on technological efficiency due to "externalities" that are not measured in standard economics.
So now the global warming costs are starting to be "measured" by insurance companies that have to pay for the crises.
But that still under-rates the cost.
This project engineer claims to have factored in all the Economic Costs of his project - Dr. Ye Tao.
But has he REALLY factored it in? He wants to be Bailed out by some Billionaire just as GEE wants to as well.
GEE is constantly reporting Wall St. news as if Wall St. was not propped up by FED FREE MONEY AS WELFARE!!
Wall St. is the biggest ponzi scheme on Earth as FREE FED money as Welfare for the elite!!
So that means the so-called "billionaires" are based on Stock Buyback scams that were illegal just back in the 1980s.
And so considering the Department of WAR keeps increasing with Bilateral Support and that is what props up the value of the PETRO-Dollar worldwide - and thus Justifies the FED bailouts of Wall St. as Welfare - can we REALLY expect any significant funding for some engineering scheme to SAVE the planet?
The comparison was made to renewable energy.
So essentially this Mirror project is to replace the Sulfur pollution from the Aerosol Masking Effect but then even do more to cool the planet.
But the Aerosol Masking Effect is NOT just a cooling effect - it's also a biological diversity mass annihilation effect.
We can't separate out one Bourgeois Engineering Project from the whole Structural Scam of Late-Term Capitalism. The destruction is integrated into the military Chimpanzee Culture overall of rape and war mongering.
In other words Missile Envy is a deep psychological drive of science.
50% of physics is funded by the military, the largest environmental destroyer on Earth - subsidizing cheap oil.
The Arctic is being targeted for more oil and methane extraction.
This breakdown from exponential growth and externalities of cost - is a break down from Symmetric Math science as what I call the "Surplus Value of Consciousness" - it's what Zizek calls Jouissance from Barthes - a projection - of dopamine bliss onto Earth that is a positive feedback of ejaculation addiction from cortisol stress.
That's the Missile Envy dynamic.
So this is also called the Tantric Trajectory of Technology.
So the more left-brain dominant planning with right-hand dominant technology increases then the more Heaven is separated from Earth as mass sacrifice.
Hence the "Masses" are castigated by GEE McFearSun as being "stupid" - and so he Brown-No$es to the elite to hope the billionaire Aristocrats will bail him out and the planet.
But the Billionaire Aristocrats don't work that way - they didn't get rich by being self-less scientists (as if that is some ideal the world is to strive toward).
The claim is that we are all better off due to civilization but this claim is increasingly being eroded due to Abrupt Global warming and the ecological crisis.
The "cause" of the pandemic is either from illegal farming of an endangered species - the Pangolin - OR it's from the supposed good intentions of scientists gone awry - mad science genetic engineering that escapes as a bioweapon
Or it was an intentional bioweapon.
The fact is that we will probably never know - just as a Supercomputer can never Model the ecology of the equatorial rainforest - it's too complex.
And So the effects of these Mirrors are MOST LIKELY not going to be what they are projected to be.
Certainly people can try - look what engineering has done so far?
As Winona LaDuke asked the United Nations - I just want to know is if there is a direct connection between YOUR wealth and the poverty of the masses on the planet.
GEE doesn't have a problem with this - he is a supposed "anarchist" but he's really a Corporate Libertarian - which is more fascist than socialist. He's definitely NOT a socialist libertarian like Noam Chomsky.
And so GEE has no problem begging the billionaires to bailout the Planet with this MIRROR project.
So that is the Great White Western dream of left-brain rational Platonic "goodness."
If it comes at the expenses of a NeoColonial Genocidal Imperial mass murder regime - then so be it - because the masses are "stupid."
Well - somehow I don't think that kind of "planning" is going to work. I think Mother Nature will still take revenge and finish off the job of what has been euphemistically called "Western Civilization" - as Gandhi stated - "it would be a good idea if it existed."
Dr. Jim Massa responds:
In general, I am very skeptical on geoengineering schemes. There are always unknown parameters, unanticipated interactions that can hinder or render void the hoped for results. I agree with Dr. Tao's comments about carbon sequestration. His idea here sounds simple enough, but I am dubious about being able to implement this with the intended result. The idea seems straightforward. Reflect heat energy back into space. But as Dr. Tao said, this will not necessarily bring on cooling, only stop further increase which would be a start. But, we are already seeing the consequences of the warming thus far. Any further warming will make matters worse. Also, I worry that this will fossil fuel industries will use this as an excuse to continue extracting fossil fuels as they will think, well this will be offset. There are many uncertainties with deploying this idea in marine environments. What will be done about wave action? If these are intended to float at the surface, the mirrors will not always present the optimal angle for maximum energy reflection. If attached to the substrate, then this has to be done in nearshore environments that are within the photic zone. But, the energy hitting the reflective surfaces at depth will be scattered within the ocean, not go back out into space. This will actually increase the energy absorbed by the ocean. (Light is actuated, attenuated in the water column). How will the deployment be determined? That is how will locations be determined where to place these reflective surfaces? There is still the issue of thermal inertia/latent heat that will continue to warm the planet. There is theory and then there is reality. Unlike the great majority of geoengineering schemes, this is a project that I am not outright critical or dismissive of. If Dr. Tao and his team can demonstrate effectiveness and do so within a few years, well, let's see what happens. But, if you listen to his interview, he lays out a lot of the difficulties that remain. So overall, I am dubious that this will achieve the intended results. There is always something that pops up that greatly prevents the idea from working. I think that ultimately, the same will happen here. But, if this project moves forward, let's keep an open mind and see what the data indicates.
