Wilderness with Simon Reeve and Dynamic Planet of abrupt global warming docs

 Simon Reeve treks for two days through Congo jungle led by a guide who is able to spot the hunting snares of the Baka people who split from the San Bushmen 225,000 years ago. Simon Reeve goes on to the Bonobo chimps - after grueling grinds in the Congo - finally the friendly Bonobos, probably are closest cousins, are discovered. Simon Reeve then goes to the San Bushmen, our original human culture that relies on the same type of music as central to their healing dancing just as the Baka people. The San Bushmen take Simon on a hunt. Our original human culture has been cut off from their original culture of 225,000 years - for the most part.

Then Dynamic Planet doc shows the Ladakh villages (Little Tibet) now not able to farm because of abrupt global warming having melted the glaciers! The glacial melt water previously enabled multiple types of crops to be grown - and I saw these crops growing in the "Ancient Futures" Ladakh documentary from Helena Norberg-Hodge released on VHS around 1996!! Wow so in just 30 years the Ladakhi culture has been decimated from abrupt global warming. 

Dynamic Planet

Take an epic three-year journey to the extremes of all seven continents to meet an extraordinary group of people and animals on the front line of climate change. They reveal how science, nature and traditional knowledge can prepare us for a fast-changing future.

the Himalayan glaciers are already vanishing. The Ladakhi indigenous farmers are not getting their melt water to grow crops in the highland of the Himalayas. Just 30 years ago they grew their crops fine - just watch the doc "Ancient Futures" by Helena Norberg-Hodge for how the Ladakhis grew their crops for thousands of years! Then watch the doc "Dynamic Planet" of 2024 that shows the ghost villages abandoned since abrupt global warming has already melted the glaciers. 400 million people will not have freshwater in India by 2030 and that is a minimum number. When you factor in the 1200 gigatons of pressurized methane hydrates in the world's largest ocean shelf - the East Siberian Arctic Shelf - a 50 gigaton "abrupt eruption" is considered very probably very soon since the taliks have already formed (the melted rock that is subpermafrost - subsea. So that 50 gigaton abrupt eruption of previously frozen methane hydrates will double atmospheric temperature - another 2 degree C. global average. That can happen any time and will happen within 10 years. Already global famine and drought is increasing due to abrupt global warming - there's been hundreds of millions of people in Africa and South America facing "acute food insecurity" - famine - due to abrupt global warming.

 cyanobacteria are not inherently bad. I eat spirulina all the time. See Sir David King for the deep ocean algae plan - using volcanic fertilization. He hopes to sequester 30 gigatons of CO2 per year. Paul used to promote this five years ago before he got "sold off" to the "terminal shock" business aka SMR. And what else? Raffael Jovine, double Ph.D. in marine biology, started "Brilliant Planet" near ocean algae farms with plan to scale up to 10 gigatons of co2 sequestered per year. Three Chinese scientists (one at MIT/Harvard) just published a plan to grow 100 gigatons of algae per year in near ocean algae farms - algae is 50% carbon so that's another 50 gigatons of CO2 sequestered per year. So those are plans and there's a lot more potential for algae. The problem is people worship technology like a religion - so they want lasers and stuff like that. Algae uses blue light as quantum nonlocal energy transfer - the most efficient high tech in the Universe. algae is the source of coal and oil. Algae has been alive on Earth for at least 3 billion years. So humans can do whatever they want - algae is the future of life on EArth one way or another.
