Fossil Fuels: Degraded Democracy and Profit Over Planet Pollutio
n
By: AGelbert Date: June 17, 2014, 11:08 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
[font=times new roman]The PRICE of burning Fossil Fuels ALWAYS
has been too COSTLY for planet Earth's Life Forms.[/font]
I maintain that fossil fuels, although presenting the appearance
of cheapness, were and are not cheap or cost effective. The
pollution price was always too high, even though we were not
aware of it.
What fossil fuels really concentrated was political power to
the detriment of democratic processes and the acceleration of
conscience free predatory practices. Nuclear power was even
worse because it began as a giant government jobs program (the
Manhattan project) that has never paid back the public for the
forced investment. IT was and is a boondoggle from the word go.
It's EROI, if you figure it properly, has always been negative.
Blatant proof of that is the fact that private enterprise has
always refused to insure those power plants and the government
has always done it. It was a bad deal from the start. And no, we
did not need or even want those power plants to help us make
bombs. I have written about that here:
HTML http://renewablerevolution.createaforum.com/nuke-puke/no-we-never-needed-lwr-nuclear-power-plants-to-make-nuclear-weapons/
And the population increase was not due to fossil fuels but to
advances in personal hygiene. You might allege that medical
science obtained that information because of a fossil fuel
funded increased living standard and leisure time but you would
be wrong. The discovery of germs and the decrease in birth
mortality from antiseptic procedures had nothing to do with
industrialization.
I have written about that:
Hope for a Viable Biosphere of Renewables
Why They Work and Fossil & Nuclear Fuels Never Did
HTML http://www.doomsteaddiner.net/blog/2012/07/17/hope-for-a-viable-biosphere-of-renewables/
The problem we have is really quite simple; a leadership that is
math challenged. You simply cannot talk about infinite growth in
a finite biosphere, period. Predatory Capitalism insists on
doing that so it will have to go and humanity has to shed it's
economical delusions of infinite growth or we will be the ones
"going".
The resistance to change is not simply a matter of resource
availability, but who controls those resources. Fossil fuels and
nuclear power destroyed the democratized world system of energy
availability and concentrated it in a few greedy hands.
Renewable energy returns the democratic state of affairs to
humanity. AND, as a consequence, the proper use and stewardship
of the biosphere because you do not have a small group
devastating the planet while they live in luxury and delusions
of infinite growth even as they spread war and misery and death
through the biosphere. THAT leadership doesn't want their
current gravy train to be derailed.
The control of energy and resources in a small concentrated
group of predatory humans is the problem that the industrial
revolution brought us, not the happy myths of a tremendous
increase in our standard of living or that "green" revolution
the fossil fuelers, with there soil destroying chemical
fertilizers, claimed we "owe" them for. Any analysis of current
crop nutrition shows great increases in size and yield and
weight but [i]less actual nutrition[/I] because of the missing
minerals from several decades of forcing the soil with chemical
fertilizers.
That's been documented by the United Nations even though most
people still believe the "green revolution" baloney pushed by
the fossil fuel industry.
[b]We need fossil and nuclear fuels like a dog needs ticks with
radioactive Lyme disease.[/b]
Of course there is going to be pain in the transition. and you
know who is going to feel it the most? The people at the top
because they are the delusional ones, not most of the everyday
people that have seen the beauty of the earth degrade, the
cancer epidemic affect every family and respiratory ailments
galore while we have been told for well over 80 years that
"times are getting better and better". We have been ROBBED. And
now the rich do not want to pay the piper. At present, the
United Nations has documented that less than 20% of the human
population is causing over 80% of the damage. I think the rich
owe us 80% of the costs to transition to 100% renewable energy.
I have written about that too.
Why the 1% is responsible for more than 80% of humanity's carbon
footprint and why Homo sapiens is doomed unless the 1% lead the
way in a sustainable life style.

For the rich, the meteoric rise in standard of living has been a
profit over planet rampage of over 150 years. It 's time to stop
that and go to 100% renewable energy.
PETITION TO: Demand Liberty From Fossil Fuels Through 100%
Renewable Energy WWII Style Effort
HTML http://www.thepetitionsite.com/420/529/456/demand-liberty-from-fossil-fuels-through-100-renewable-energy-wwii-style-effort/<br
/>
OVERVIEW:
This action is important because the health and very survival of
future generations depends on it. We must strive tirelessly to
provide a Viable Biosphere for our children. They deserve as
beautiful a planet as the one we have lived in.
It's time to reverse all this environmental trashing and get
real about the fact that sustainability is not optional for a
caring, intelligent human population. We are the caretakers of
the biosphere because we are self aware beings. It's high time
we began living up to our responsibility to be good stewards of
nature.
"Treat the earth well: it was not given to you by your parents,
it was loaned to you by your children. We do not inherit the
Earth from our Ancestors; we borrow it from our Children."
Ancient American Indian Proverb
PETITION:
Federal agencies have a target of making their buildings carbon
neutral by 2030. We can do better, much better than that. We
need a WWII sized effort for the health of our country and that
of future generations.
The Federal Reserve provides low interest loans for cars and
houses. They can also, for the good of the economy and the
future of our country, provide the same low interest loans for a
nationwide massive effort to transition to 100% Renewable
Energy. We did this before with the Liberty Ship building effort
of WWII to help us win the war. We can win the Climate Victory
with a "Liberty From Fossil Fuels Through Renewable Energy"
massive manufacturing of Renewable energy machines. I have all
the details and have prepared a poster campaign to get all
Americans on board with the effort like we did during WWII.
Mr. President, as you know, during WWII and up to this day, a
banner was (and is) flown by Blue Star Mothers (son in the
service) signifying their sacrifice and patriotic commitment to
the national effort in the war front and the home front. Posters
were widely distributed that asked people to save fuel with a
mature lady (with the Blue Star Banner in the background)
asking, "Don't you want our boys to have a chance to come
home?".
We can do the same thing now and get everyone on board to win
the Climate Victory. The banner for all patriotic Americans to
fly is the Green Leaf Star American in the Service of Future
Generations" banner/flag.
My first poster in the series has a lady (with the Green Leaf
Star Banner in the background) asking, "Won't you give our
children a chance for a healthy future?".
The effort would provide an explosion of jobs and a real chance
at an economy that bioremediates the environment, rather than
trashing it. Everyone, rich and poor would benefit. It's a win,
win, Mr. President, despite the fierce opposition you will
encounter from the polluting nuclear and fossil fuels vested
interests. We can no longer afford profit over planet business
as usual.
We all need to work together in the Service of Future
Generations to regain a viable biosphere. Ubi jus ibi remedium.
Let's get it done!
Respecfully,
A. G. Gelbert
Green Leaf Star American in the Service of Future Generations
Please sign the petition. The planet you save may be your own.

The "Human Population Must Be Reduced" Propaganda Myth. Why it
is a divide and conquer tactic and why it has absolutely no
basis in scientific fact.
[quote]
"The total biomass of all the ants on Earth is roughly equal to
the total biomass of all the people on Earth.
How can this be?! Ants are so tiny, and we are so big! But
scientists estimate there are at least 1.5 million ants on the
planet for every human being. Over 12,000 species of ants are
known to exist, on every continent except Antarctica. Most live
in tropical regions. A single acre of Amazon rainforest may
house 3.5 million ants."[/quote]
HTML http://insects.about.com/od/antsbeeswasps/a/10-cool-facts-about-ants.htm
The Human biomass is tiny compared with thousands of species
from insects to spiders to rodents, along with many marine
creatures.
HTML http://www.coh2.org/images/Smileys/huhsign.gif
See for yourself the Evidence:
HTML http://www.pic4ever.com/images/301.gif
I will provide for you a couple of links for you to research but
let me give you a brief introduction to earth's biomass pyramid.
You have different trophic levels (life forms that eat other
life forms to survive).
The lower you are on the pyramid, the more collective mass you
have as a segment of the biosphere. What does that mean?
Here's a quote so you can see where I'm going with this:
[quote]"An ecological pyramid is a graphical representation that
shows, for a given ecosystem, the relationship between biomass
or biological productivity and trophic levels.
A biomass pyramid shows the amount of biomass at each trophic
level.
A productivity pyramid shows the production or turn-over in
biomass at each trophic level.
An ecological pyramid provides a snapshot in time of an
ecological community.
The bottom of the pyramid represents the primary producers
(autotrophs). The primary producers take energy from the
environment in the form of sunlight or inorganic chemicals and
use it to create energy-rich molecules such as carbohydrates.
This mechanism is called primary production. The pyramid then
proceeds through the various trophic levels to the apex
predators at the top.
When energy is transferred from one trophic level to the next,
typically only ten percent is used to build new biomass. The
remaining ninety percent goes to metabolic processes or is
dissipated as heat. This energy loss means that productivity
pyramids are never inverted, and generally limits food chains to
about six levels. However, in oceans, biomass pyramids can be
wholly or partially inverted, with more biomass at higher
levels."
[img]
HTML http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/86/Ecological_pyramid.svg[/img]
[/quote]
HTML http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biomass_(ecology)
Take insects as one example of the Laws of Thermodynamics as
applied to life forms in the Biosphere trophic (food chain)
pyramids.
In order for insects to BE food for spiders as well as many
other creatures, the biomass of insects has to be much, much
greater because of the heat energy losses in transferring energy
from the insect to the spider (about 90% is lost in heat). The
predators (that's what we are, by the way) are at the top of the
pyramid and have the least total biomass of all the life forms.
Lions, tigers, sharks, whales, bears, wolves, etc. have a tiny
planetary biosphere biomass in comparison with ants, earthworms,
rodents, and krill (those tiny shrimp like creatures that whales
eat). And the krill eat tiny nearly microscopic phytoplankton
(that has more biomass than the ubiquitous krill).
Mollusks, as well as ants and several thousand other species
have a larger biomass than humans. I bring up the mollusks
because they have a HUGE biomass. I studied them in depth in
college Zoology.
The phylum Mollusca:
[quote]"The phylum Mollusca is the second most diverse phylum
after Arthropoda with over 110,000 described species. Mollusks
may be primitively segmented, but all but the monoplacophorans
characteristically lack segmentation and have bodies that are to
some degree spirally twisted (e.g. torsion).
The Phylum Mollusca consist of 8 classes:
1. the Monoplacophora discovered in 1977;
2. the worm-like Aplacophora or solenogasters of the deep sea;
3. the also worm-like Caudofoveata;
4. the Polyplacophora, or chitons;
5. the Pelecypoda or bivalves;
6. the Gastropoda or snails;
7. the Scaphopoda, or tusk shells; and
8. the Cephalopoda that include among others squid and the
octopus."
[/quote]
Agelbert Note: The biomass pyramid in the oceans in regard to
mollusks and fish is NOT inverted. The oceanic "confusion" is
due to the fact that some mollusks are apex predators like giant
squid and the smaller mollusk predators like Octopodes that eat
fish. Most mollusks are small to very small and are food for
fish. They are the ones (bivalves near Fukushima) that
concentrate radionuclides in their tissues that then get in the
fish that eat them. :( :P
The smaller mollusks (most of them are less than a foot long)
are FOOD for fish. That means there HAS TO BE much more of them
than there are fish. And I'm sure you don't believe the human
biomass is greater than that of all the fish species, right? ;D
.
Now for some biomass weights:
Human population = 335,000,000,000 kg.
[quote]
"Human population = 335,000,000,000 kg. This figure is based on
an average human weight of more than 100lbs, though (50kg, to be
exact). I don't know how accurate this estimate is, especially
considering that about 1/3 of us are children. There are
supposedly around 1.3 billion cattle in the world, and, put
together, they may weigh almost twice as much as our species."
Antarctic krill, [I]Euphausia superba[/I] = 379,000,000,000 kg.
There are more ants than krill. Also, metabolism plays a role
along with biomass. A "million ruby-throated hummingbirds will
consume much more food than one African Elephant, even though
both have about the same biomass (3,000kg, or 3.3 US tons).
Thus, ants, as a group, may actually consume more resources per
year than antarctic krill, even though both may have roughly the
same biomass, because ants tend to be smaller, and live in
warmer environments. Although there may be about 10-15 times the
biomass of termites than cows in the world, studies have
suggested that termites might produce almost 30,000 times as
much methane per year because of their faster metabolism."

As the article in the quotes above points out, humans are a huge
problem, not because of our biomass, but because of our carbon
footprint (I.E. the use of fossil fuels!). And guess what
portion of our population does over 80% of the Fossil Fuel
consumption? You guessed it! The upper 20%!

The Global Compact: 20% using 80% of the Resources

To ACTUALLY address, confront and STOP the biosphere damage that
Homo Sap is doing, we must face the scientifically confirmed
REALITY that if you get rid of the bottom 50% of the human
population (the most poor among us) you will, I'm sorry to say,
not even dent the pollution and biosphere destruction.
AS pointed out in the biomass numbers, the amount of people
eating and defecating is not the problem, CARBON FOOTPRINT is
the threat to a viable biosphere. We must attack that problem by
reducing the carbon footprint of the most powerful people on
this planet.
NOTHING ELSE WILL SOLVE THE PROBLEM. The solution, in addition
to a 100% transition to Renewable energy, involves eliminating
corporate energy welfare queen subsidies for both fossil fuels
and nuclear poison.
Democracy and a viable biosphere requires it from all of us.

Noble Energy Spills 7,500 Gallons of Crude Oil Into Colorado’s
Poudre River
EcoWatch | June 21, 2014 2:34 pm | Comments
A storage tank attached to an oil well damaged by recent
flooding spilled 7,500 gallons of crude oil into the Cache la
Poudre River near Windsor in Northern Colorado, reported the
Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC) late Friday
afternoon. The oil well and tank are one of thousands that are
placed too close to waterways in Colorado despite
environmentalists’ attempts to fight the oil and gas industry
and change state regulations to better protect Colorado’s lakes,
rivers and streams.
All the contents of the storage tank, 178 barrels of oil,
spilled into the Poudre River. Photo credit: 7News Denver

The spill impacted vegetation a quarter-mile downstream, but it
appears no drinking water has been affected by the spill,
according to COGCC spokesman Todd Hartman.
“During the floods of 2013 this kind of damage occurred on a
massive scale, but Governor Hickenlooper and the COGCC made no
substantive changes in regulations to avoid this now or in the
future,” said Gary Wockner who directs Poudre Waterkeeper, a
local affiliate of the international Waterkeeper Alliance.
“Until the people of Colorado wrestle power away from the oil
and gas industry’s poisonous grip on our entire political
system, this pollution of our waterways, homes and democracy
will continue to occur.”
The spill was discovered by the tank’s operator Noble Energy and
later reported to the COGCC. All the contents of the tank, 178
barrels of oil, spilled into the river. High river flows that
undercut the bank where the storage tank was sitting way too
close to the river, caused the tank to drop and breaking a
valve.
Clean-up crews are trying to absorb the spilled oil and a vacuum
truck removed oily water from a low-lying area near the tank,
according to a local news report. This spill falls right in
front of an election on Tuesday, June 24, for a local moratorium
on fracking in the nearby city of Loveland, and at the outset of
a statewide ballot initiative in the fall of 2014 to further
limit fracking in Colorado. Radio, TV and newspaper airwaves are
under a deluge of advertising by the oil and gas industry to try
and stop the moratoriums and ballot initiatives.
“All you have to do is turn on the TV and watch the
advertisements right now—millions of dollars are being spent by
this industry poisoning our political system so that they can
poison our waterways and homes to earn the greatest possible
profit in the shortest possible time,” said Wockner. >:(

Hi,
Representative Fred Upton (R-Mi6) says he supports an "all of
the above" energy policy. This includes legislative favors for
dirty energy's big-money interests, as well as Upton's five-year
battle on behalf of the Keystone XL pipeline—which he claims is
part of his "vision" for the nation's "New Architecture of
Abundance."
Upton’s constituents do not believe in his "vision." We see
nothing new about continuing to spew fossil fuel exhaust. We see
eternal abundance in wind and sunshine.
HTML http://www.desismileys.com/smileys/desismileys_0293.gif
As Chairman of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, Upton
spins his committee's support for dirty energy as "protecting
jobs" and "taking care of the economy." Meanwhile, bills that
encourage commerce in clean energy die in Upton's committee.
>:(
Upton’s constituents understand that the nation’s interest would
be best served if Upton’s committee would stop doing favors for
dirty energy and, instead, would encourage the research,
development, production, and delivery of clean energy—the kind
of commerce that would clearly benefit the environment and the
economy while creating true job growth.
Upton, now in his fourth year as chairman, could have taken a
leading role in the nation’s—and thereby the
planet’s—all-important transition from dirty energy to clean.
Instead, he lets renewable-energy initiatives die in his
committee. Upton has forsaken his leadership responsibility and
has capitulated to the big-money corporate interests that are
pushing us toward our own extinction.
That's why I signed a petition to Rep. Fred Upton (MI-6), which
says:
"Please stop pushing outdated big-oil energy solutions. As
Chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, you should
be one of the nation’s strongest advocates for the business of
researching, developing, and producing green energy, not black.
If you can't take on that role, please retire."
Will you sign the petition too? Click here to add your name:

to agree to trashing the environment. All that mind fork
injected into the so-called Fundies has absolutely nothing to do
with Christianity and EVERYTHING to do with a pro-war, pro
fossil fuel oligarchic propaganda exercise lasting more than a
century.
[quote] What's With That Dirty House Roof?
We recently celebrated "Earth Day".. From my Christian
perspective, I believe we have a deep responsibility to be good
stewards of the planet that God has given for each of us to use
for a few years. "This Is My Father's World" Have you sung that
hymn at church? I have, since I was a wee boy, and that's a long
time. So then, today might be a good time for each of us to ask
if we have been responsible with "our Father's world". And, how
can I be more responsible tomorrow?
From a more practical perspective, what good is having all of
the money or gold in the world, if we have destroyed our air,
water, and land? Have you noticed how filth from the sky has
fouled your roof, or the one next door. We didn't see so much of
this just a few years ago. If you have a new home with a clean
roof, just drive around and look at some 10-year roofs. Crud
from the air has been deposited on roofs, and streaked by the
rain.
If it's on the roofs, it has also been sucked into our lungs. An
awful thought. It's in our air, our water, our land. We have
taken God's gift to us, and polluted it. So what can we do about
it? You have the answers if you - - just stop for a moment to
think about it. Now - - - ACT![/quote]

Now, consider the implications for the fossil fuelers all over
the world WHEN, not IF, the Catholic Church DIVESTS of ALL of
its billions and billions of dollars, rubles, yen, yuan, euros
and whatever in fossil fuel corporations AND tells there
followers over and over that NOT taking proper care (I.E.
investing in or subsidizing DIRTY ENERGY) of the biosphere is a
sin.... What are they gonna do? Call the Pope a Commie?

Another one of those people the fossil fuelers admire for
"DOING" so much to "earn" their wealth and "honored" place
among human apex predatory ****s. >:(
Yeah, I know. Despite the fact that I am part Jewish, I am about
to be called an "anti-Semite"!

The pollution and GW we being assaulted with are SYMPTOMS of the
DISEASE killing our biosphere, not the disease itself.
If we don't seriously address this DISEASE of S**t Canned Ethics

of
the fossil fuel FOOLS that are despoiling our biosphere and
accelerating planetary pollution, the big die offs (including
large segments of the human population) begin at 2030.
The DIRTY ENERGY SOURCES long history of profiting from our
blood and treasure while they despoil the biosphere.
The following quote from a peer reviewed book is of extreme
importance to all Americans:
Dilworth (2010-03-12). Too Smart for our Own Good (pp. 399-400).
Cambridge University Press. Kindle Edition.
[quote]"As suggested earlier, war, for example, which represents
a cost for society, is a source of profit to capitalists. In
this way we can partly understand e.g. the American military
expenditures in the Persian Gulf area. Already before the first
Gulf War, i.e. in 1985, the United States spent $47 billion
projecting power into the region. If seen as being spent to
obtain Gulf oil, It AMOUNTED TO $468 PER BARREL, or 18 TIMES the
$27 or so that at that time was paid for the oil itself.
In fact, if Americans had spent as much to make buildings
heat-tight as they spent in ONE YEAR at the end of the 1980s on
the military forces meant to protect the Middle Eastern oil
fields, THEY COULD HAVE ELIMINATED THE NEED TO IMPORT OIL from
the Middle East.
So why have they not done so? Because, while the $468 per barrel
may be seen as being a cost the American taxpayers had to bear,
and a negative social effect those living in the Gulf area had
to bear, it meant only profits for American capitalists.
"[/quote] >:(
Note: I added the bold caps emphasis on the barrel of oil price,
money spent in one year and the need to import oil from the
Middle East.
This totally unjustified profit, never mind the needless lose of
lives, then increases the power of the fossil fuel corporations
to perpetuate a biosphere harming dirty fuel status quo. How? By
"funding" politicians with rather large "donations" to keep
renewable energy from competing with dirty energy.
If all this was just about power politics, I might not be that
concerned. Humans, particularly the overly ambitious and
aggressive ones, have always fought and schemed to control and
fleece the population at large.
But now we know the future of our biosphere is at stake. Now we
know the entire edifice of dirty energy is a knife in the back
of the biosphere that will destroy our species and many others.
The system, as defined by the fossil fuel fascist dystopia that
currently runs most of the human affairs among the 1 billion
population in the developed world that is saddling the other 6
billion, who are totally free of guilt for causing it, with this
climate horror we are beginning to experience, IS quite stubborn
and does not wish to change the status quo.
Mother nature will force it to do so.
Whether it is done within the next two decades or not (i.e. a
switch to 100% PLUS bioremediation Renewable Energy steady state
economy) will dictate the size of the consequent die off, not
only of humans but thousands of other species as well.
We are now in a climate cake that has been baked for about 1,000
years according to atmospheric, objective, proven with
experimental data, science.
If the crash program to switch to renewable energy is to begin
soon, I expect the trigger for the crash program will be the
first ice free arctic summer (according to my estimates) in
2017. But millions of people demanding a transition to 100%
renewable Energy will give us a fighting chance to win the
Climate Victory.
You can help us leave dirty energy sources that are killing us
behind. I started a petition on Care2: Demand Liberty From
Fossil Fuels Through 100% Renewable Energy WWII Style Effort.
I'm hoping that if enough people sign my petition, we can make a
difference. I have 271 signatures. Will you help me collect more
by adding your name?

For those who don't wish to bother signing or are concerned for
your "privacy". Hello? Hello? This is the year 2014! By 2030
periods where the "Humid Heat Stroke Index" is so high that the
human body can no longer maintain a normal core temperature will
become common. Home Sap is on the short list for extinction!
That is sorta more important than hiding from the NSA or the CIA
now ISN'T IT? And I DO NOT see ANY of the home addresses or
e-mail addresses anyway, Care2 does! So, if you CARE about
future generations, you have ZERO excuse, unless you are a
bought and paid for climate denying, war profiteering LOW LIFE
GREEDBALL, for NOT signing.
Sign this for the sake of common decency and future generations
(and pass this on to everyone you care about to sign too!) or
resign yourself to the fact that you are a NIHILSTIC DEATH CULT
ACCESSORY to the HOMO SAP SUICIDE.
