Ah, Earth Day, the one day a year when we all collectively pretend to care about Mother Earth a little more than usual. But hey, it's a good excuse to finally make that compost bin, right? In all seriousness, Earth Day is pretty important. It's like a big global reminder to stop and think about how we're treating this big beautiful blue marble we call home.

 

The aim of this blog post is to open more people's eyes and to encourage them to do their own research so that they can discover more about how geoengeneering practices may be destroying our planet.

 

The argument presented by governments revolves around the idea that burning fossil fuels leads to the production of carbon dioxide (CO2), which in turn contributes to the greenhouse effect and causes an increase in the Earth's temperature. It is further claimed that this increase is occurring at an unnatural rate and is undesirable. However, it is important to critically examine this thesis and consider alternative perspectives.

One of the main issues with this argument is the difficulty in accurately measuring and isolating the temperature increase solely attributed to increased CO2 levels. CO2 constitutes a mere 0.04% of the atmosphere, making it challenging to discern its specific impact amidst the influence of various other natural factors that contribute to temperature and climate changes.

Moreover, it is crucial to acknowledge the proportion of CO2 emissions that can be attributed to human activities. Currently, humans contribute only 3% of the 0.04% CO2 present in the atmosphere. This translates to a minuscule 0.0012% of the overall atmospheric composition, which is 833 times less than 1%. Consequently, even if human carbon emissions were completely halted, the resulting difference in the atmosphere would be negligible, accounting for only a fraction of a percent.

Even in the scenario where human carbon emissions were quadrupled, the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere would only reach 0.0436%, with human emissions constituting a mere 0.0048% (209 times less than 1%) of the total atmospheric composition. These figures indicate that the impact of human carbon emissions on CO2 concentration is minimal, suggesting that they have an insignificant effect on climate change, especially when considering other potential drivers.

While the argument presented by government officials emphasises the role of CO2 emissions from burning fossil fuels in contributing to climate change, it is important to critically evaluate the evidence and consider alternative viewpoints. The small proportion of CO2 in the atmosphere and the limited contribution of human activities to its overall concentration suggest that the impact of human carbon emissions on climate change is negligible.

This theory has also been refuted by the deceased science director for the Heartland Institute, Dr Jay Lehr, who has stated:

"Man-caused global warming is the biggest scam perpetrated against society since time began," (..) "The whole concept behind climate change is fear and control."

 

The main driver of destruction is, in many people's view, playing God with geoengineering. We have recently seen the consequences of cloud seeding in Dubai.

What is the purpose of geoengineering?

Geoengineering "aims" to mitigate the effects of climate change by intentionally manipulating Earth's systems, such as reducing solar radiation or removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere

Are there risks associated with geoengineering?

Yes, geoengineering comes with massive risks, including unforeseen environmental impacts, ethical dilemmas, and geopolitical challenges that warrant careful consideration and regulation.

 

The long-term effects of geoengineering are largely unknown, as these interventions are largely experimental and could have (and have had) drastic and irreversible consequences for the environment.

 

There are also concerns about the moral hazard of relying on geoengineering as a quick fix for climate change rather than addressing the root causes of the issue. If governments and industries see geoengineering as a viable option, they may become complacent in implementing sustainable practices, which could exacerbate the problem in the long run.

 

Furthermore, the cost of implementing large-scale geoengineering projects are normally astronomical, diverting resources from more sustainable and equitable solutions.

 

Unfortunately, one of the key aspects of modern day capitalism that exacerbates the climate crisis is the influence of big corporations on government policies. In some countries, these corporations often lobby for regulations that benefit their bottomline and disregard the best economic interests of their countries.
