How much growth is enough for human need?

How much growth is enough for human need? thumbnail

Seven Olympic-sized swimming pools. That’s what the water from the melting ice sheet in Greenland last year would have filled every second. In absolute terms the Greenland ice sheet shrank by 532 billion tons in 2019, equivalent to a million tons per minute.

Scientists led by Ingo Sasgen, of the Alfred Wagener Institute in Bremerhaven, Germany, attributed the extreme loss last year (double the annual average since 2003) to “blocking patterns” of weather that kept warm air over Greenland for longer periods due to worsening climate change.

At this rate, Greenland could soon become the “green land” of Eric the Red, the Norwegian who navigated and explored Greenland at the turn of the last millennium and is said to have sold swathes of the island as “green” and therefore highly fertile land.

The scientists, whose study was published in the Communications Earth& Environment journal used data from NASA’s Grace satellites which, by taking gravity measurements, weighs the mass of ice in Greenland.

Climate change is heating the Arctic at double the rate and the ice cap is the single largest contributor to rising sea levels. Catastrophically, the sea levels would rise by up to six meters if the entire Greenland ice sheet melts. The only consoling thought is that the scientists are not yet certain whether the ice sheet has passed the point of no return, although it could take centuries to slow the melting even if carbon emissions are reduced.

Not surprisingly, it is such conjectures of scientists-that it could take centuries to slow ice melting even if emissions are reduced-that climate skeptics and self-proclaimed saviors of the Earth and benefactors of humankind latch onto to claim that climate alarmism prevents us from working out and implementing smart climate solutions.

For example, they claim that instead of trying to reduce carbon emissions to keep the global temperature rise to below 2 degree Celsius in a bid to prevent the impending climate cataclysm, the world should carry on business as usual to further boost global economic growth, because the more wealth we (read big business) create the better we can deal with climate issues.

Unusually heavy downpours over longer periods of time and the ensuing floods, which large parts of China have been battling with this summer, can be effectively tackled with higher economic growth, they claim. Faster wealth generation is also the solution to droughts, wildfires, more frequent cyclones, receding lakes and underground water tables, vanishing forests and accelerating desertification.

And far from being treated as a climate emergency that demands immediate corrective measures, Greenland’s melting ice sheet is cause for celebration in many circles as it will open new, shorter and hence more profitable trade routes. As for rising sea levels, they are a minor irritant as they will displace only a tiny percentage of the global population, a problem that can be solved by further exploiting Mother Nature-extracting more minerals, chopping down more forests, depleting and contaminating more water sources, and emitting more toxic gases.

Anyway, climate change is not the highest concern of a majority of people around the world. In fact, they may be more concerned about mobile phones and internet access than climate change. Of course, at the moment, people’s biggest concern is the novel coronavirus, which poses a serious threat to human health and life.

Yet the general public may not be aware of the havoc climate change has been wreaking on the world and by default on the people-and the level of destruction it will cause in the future. They may also be unaware that the hundreds, if not thousands, of types of bacteria and viruses buried in the ice sheets, glaciers and permafrost for thousands of years will be released in the atmosphere once they melt.

Worse, some of these viruses could be many times deadlier than the novel coronavirus, and a few of the bacteria released by the melting ice sheets and glaciers could have a much higher fatality rate than mycobacterium tuberculosis that claims more than 1.7 million lives a year.

Similarly, by chopping down forests, we could release undiscovered bacteria and viruses into the atmosphere against which we may not have any defense-and it could take decades for us to develop antidotes for them. For instance, we are yet to find a permanent cure for cancer, although we know the viruses, the usual infectious agents, which cause cancer, and that other pathogens such as bacteria and parasites also a play a role in the disease.

Since we know that among the inevitable consequences of unfettered economic growth is continuous chopping down of forests and melting glaciers, ice sheets and permafrost, the decision is for us to make whether to continue with business as usual in the hope that accumulation of more wealth will solve all our problems or choose to change our perception of growth and aim for sustainable development that will protect nature and therefore human life.

    “limited solar incidence favored the lighter complected.”

    Genes responsible for diversity of human skin colors identified

    “Skin color is a classic variable trait in humans, and it’s thought to be adaptive,” Tishkoff said. “Analysis of the genetic basis of variation in skin color sheds light on how adaptive traits evolve, including those that play a role in disease risk.”

    Both light and dark skin pigmentations confer benefits: Darker skin, for example, is believed to help prevent some of the negative impacts of ultraviolet light exposure, while lighter skin is better able to promote synthesis of vitamin D in regions with low ultraviolet light exposure.

    The region with the strongest associations was in and around the SLC24A5 gene, one variant of which is known to play a role in light skin color in European and some southern Asian populations and is believed to have arisen more than 30,000 years ago.”

    “If you were to shave a chimp, it has light pigmentation,” Tishkoff said, “so it makes sense that skin color in the ancestors of modern humans could have been relatively light. It is likely that when we lost the hair covering our bodies and moved from forests to the open savannah, we needed darker skin. Mutations influencing both light and dark skin have continued to evolve in humans, even within the past few thousand years.”

    Tishkoff noted that the work underscores the diversity of African populations and the lack of support for biological notions of race.

    “Many of the genes and new genetic variants we identified to be associated with skin color may never have been found outside of Africa, because they are not as highly variable,” Tishkoff said. “There is so much diversity in Africa that’s not often appreciated. There’s no such thing as an African race. We show that skin color is extremely variable on the African continent and that it is still evolving. Further, in most cases the genetic variants associated with light skin arose in Africa.”

    Almost 50 North Texans Drank Bleach This Month, Poison Center Warns ‘Stop, It Won’t Cure COVID’

    “DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) – Following 46 cases of bleach ingestions in the North Texas Poison Center region since the start of August, experts are again warning people that drinking the chemical won’t prevent COVID-19.

    The organization pointed to “misleading and inaccurate information circulating online about how to prevent the spread of COVID-19,” for an uptick in poisonings.

    The FDA has long warned that drinking chlorine dioxide products can lead to “severe vomiting, severe diarrhea, life-threatening low blood pressure caused by dehydration and acute liver failure.”

    Pelosi Calls Republicans ‘Domestic Enemies Of The State’

    House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) raged against President Trump and Congressional Republicans on Monday, telling MSNBC that they’re “domestic enemies” of election integrity and “enemies of the state.”

    Pelosi was speaking right after President Trump’s speech at the Republican National Convention, according to the Daily Caller.

    “We take an oath to protect and defend the Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic. And sadly, the domestic enemies to our voting system and honoring our Constitution are right at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue with their allies in the Congress of the United States. But again, let’s just get out there and mobilize, organize, and not let the President deter anybody from voting. And again, support the postal system which is election central,” said the 80-year-old Democrat.

    “They’re doing everything they can; suppress the vote — with your actions, scare people, intimidate by saying law enforcement will be there, diminish the role of the postal system in all of this. It’s really actually shameful. Enemies of the state,” she continued.

    criminal Chinese

    Texas A&M Prof, NASA Researcher Arrested For Alleged China Ties

    Texas A&M professor and NASA researcher Zhengdong Cheng was arrested Sunday for alleged conspiracy, false statements, and wire fraud. According to a United States Department of Justice press release, Cheng allegedly “willfully took steps to obscure his affiliations and collaboration with a Chinese University and at least one Chinese-owned company.” Cheng’s research grant barred him from collaborating with Chinese entities. Cheng allegedly provided false information to Texas A&M and NASA, allowing him to receive federal funds for a research grant. Cheng is associated with Guangdong University of Technology in China and other foreign institutions of higher education. He gained access to what the DOJ called “increased access to unique NASA resources, such as the International Space Station,” resulting in better positioning at Guangdong and other universities. Assistant Attorney General for National Security John C. Demers explained that “Once again, we have witnessed the criminal consequences that can arise from undisclosed participation in the Chinese government’s talent program.” He said the Department of Justice will work to “expose the exploitation of our nation and our prized research institutions.” Alan Kohler, assistant director of the FBI’s Counterintelligence Division, said that Cheng allegedly “knowingly deceived NASA officials about his association with Chinese owned companies and universities, willingly accepted U.S. government funding, and defrauded his university.” FBI Houston Special Agent Perrye Turner stated that Texas A&M has provided “significant assistance through their partnership with us throughout this case.” “We worked closely with the FBI on this case, and we gladly will work with them again as needed,” Texas A&M System Chancellor John Sharp said in a statement Monday. “No one in higher education takes security as seriously as we do at The Texas A&M University System. In fact, we have received several awards from the Department of Defense’s Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency, including one just last month.” Campus Reform has reported on a series of similar criminal charges against professors with ties to China. In late July, a professor at the University of Arkansas was indicted for receiving funds from China and failure to disclose ties to Chinese companies. Additionally, a researcher at the University of California-Davis was detained by American officials after it was discovered that she was an alleged active member of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army.

    Russian new T-80BVM tanks couldn’t hit targets during the Army-2020 forum
    Russian T-80BVM tanks couldn’t hit targets during demonstrations at the Army-2020 defense forum at the Alabino practice range outside Moscow. The updated T-80 tank was supposed to hit the targets at long distances using 9M119 Refleks guided anti-tank missiles but were some problems and the tank crew couldn’t make it. The T-80BVM is the Russian upgraded version of the T-80BV tank. The upgraded tanks arrived for the Northern Fleet’s motor rifle brigade in 2019. The T-80BVM tank features a multi-channel gunner sight, a 125mm 2A46M1 gun, a 12.7mm NSVT anti-aircraft and a 7.62mm PKT coaxial machine-gun.

    “The book argues “that what most people think of as ‘the news’ is, in fact, a twisted wing of the entertainment business.”[2][3] It contains an interview with Noam Chomsky, whose 1988 book Manufacturing Consent heavily influenced Taibbi’s writings. In Hate Inc., Taibbi inverts the phrase to “manufacturing discontent”.

    In March 2019, Taibbi published a portion titled “It’s official: Russiagate is this generation’s WMD”, which argues that in light of the Mueller Report’s conclusion that the investigation “did not establish that members of the Trump campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities”, much of what the mainstream media reported on the issue was exaggerated or outright false.[4]

    Hate Inc.: Why Today’s Media Makes Us Despise One Another

    Matt Taibbi

    “In this characteristically turbocharged new book, celebrated Rolling Stone journalist Matt Taibbi provides an insider’s guide to the variety of ways today’s mainstream media tells us lies. Part tirade, part confessional, it reveals that what most people think of as “the news” is, in fact, a twisted wing of the entertainment business.

    In the Internet age, the press have mastered the art of monetizing anger, paranoia, and distrust. Taibbi, who has spent much of his career covering elections in which this kind of manipulative activity is most egregious, provides a rich taxonomic survey of American political journalism’s dirty tricks.

    Heading into a 2020 election season that promises to be a Great Giza Pyramid Complex of invective and digital ugliness, Hate Inc. will be an invaluable antidote to the hidden poisons dished up by those we rely on to tell us what is happening in the world.”

    Bolsonaro tells journalist he would ‘like to smash your face in’ over financial questions

    Response came after Brazil’s president was asked a question about mystery payments to his wife

    “Reports in the Brazilian media have claimed that between 2011 and 2017 at least 89,000 reais (about £12,000) were paid into the account of Brazil’s first lady, Michelle Bolsonaro.

    The mystery deposits were allegedly made by Fabrício Queiroz, a longtime friend of Bolsonaro who was recently arrested as part of a corruption investigation into one of the president’s sons, and Queiroz’s wife, Marcia Aguiar. Flávio Bolsonaro and Queiroz have denied the corruption allegations.

    “What I’d really like to do is smash your face in, yeah?” the far-right populist was filmed telling a reporter from one of Brazil’s leading newspapers, O Globo.”

    Apneaman says: “The country is lost“

    Thanks guys, much appreciated.

    Now is clearly not the time to phantasize about the US dominating everybody else. Now is the time to worry about saving white and kosher asses and not about “exceptionalism”.

    It happened to the USSR, now it is happening to you, with Covid and George Floyd as pretext and catalysts, non-events that any non-diverse country could easily weather without falling apart (think Japan or Germany or Russia or China).

    The twin brothers USSR and USA in hindsight will have fallen apart, because both were unnatural, ideological countries, with the toxic ideology invented by oh-so intelligent apneaman types, spread via his media, who for a few decades dominated the scene, invisible for the rubes, the boobs, like termites are often invisible for the house-owner, until the roof collapses over his head.

    The outcome of the coming election will probably remain a mystery for ever. It will be an outcome like in Belarus, contested from all sides, nobody will ever know the truth. Like Belarus today, the US will be in a state of permanent chaos, until some state has enough and secedes and several others will follow, followed by large-scale auto-deportations, like we already have seen in NYC and California (“white flight”). Since Covid and the invention of “home office” richer folks no longer need to live in Manhattan to make a living. Manhattan or LA, that’s for squatters-of-color.

    Suicide is always a hideous, a cosmic crime. Nihilist materialists such as Marxists, many so-called “scientists,” and the Left generally frequently tell themselves that there is no purpose to life.  The answer to that lie was given by astrophysicists Charles W. Misner, Kip S. Thorne and John Archibald Wheeler (MTW) in their massive Gravitation (S.F.: W.H. Freeman & Co., 1970-71), p. 1217:  “So why on this view is the universe as big as it is?  Because only so can man be here!” They speak of the “biological selection of physical constants” and of “thinking of the world as Leibniz did, as a world of relationships, not a world of machinery.”

    This is the reason why there is something rather than nothing, a query often asked by serious students.  The cosmogonic “Calculus of Propositions” (MTW) WANTS the evolution of intelligent life.  In the trillion or more galaxies just within our event horizon alone, this primordial Logic is mathematically and fractally instantiating (partially replicating) itself in innumerable ways from the ground of quantum mechanics on up.  And it is this Logic which produces the mathematics of the universe, occasionally modifying that math in cases we humans call paranormal.

    The domain of the paranormal itself also shows this cosmic will.  There are many instances where revenants from Near-Death Experiences have reported it was made clear to them that, outside of exceptional cases (e.g., madness, etc.), suicide is an evil, evil deed with grave postmortem consequences.  The same message is sometimes conveyed through ghostly paranormal means.

    Thus the Marxist propaganda pushing for White genosuicidism is abhorrent on a cosmic level, not just a personal one.  The fiends who promulgate this poison should be prosecuted in every way possible.

    “purpose to life…The answer to that lie was…“So why on this view is the universe as big as it is? Because only so can man be here!” They speak of the “biological selection of physical constants” and of “thinking of the world as Leibniz did, as a world of relationships, not a world of machinery.”

    Thee, just more humancentric religion this time focused on intelligence and reason. While I agree intelligence and reason are part of the “It” or “isness”, they are not “It” at least in regards to being the primary mover of things. It is more a reflection of the primary movement but also (and this is key) the “losing” of the reflection of the connection in the extreme of the ego. This is the dance of life of the cosmic movement that comes with on and off with this a reflection of something deeper. These scientists and academics are making the grave error of making science a religion. Spirituality and science are two opposite poles that do not belong in each other’s garden. This is the usurping of the sacred by individual ego goal seeking of these so called “smart” fallible and fleshy humans. That act results in religion which has always been the inevitable corruption of the two

    “This is the reason why there is something rather than nothing…The cosmogonic “Calculus of Propositions” (MTW) WANTS the evolution of intelligent life…this primordial Logic is mathematically and fractally instantiating (partially replicating) itself in innumerable ways from the ground of quantum mechanics on up. And it is this Logic which produces the mathematics of the universe, occasionally modifying that math in cases we humans call paranormal.”

    Thee, you and your boys are still making a jump from reflection to conclusion in an area which is beyond your understanding. They deeper you go into this world the more questions that are created. At some point the reflection must give way to “being as is” without prior knowledge of actions in spontaneity. In your world the Calculus of proportions would already know the next step and there would be paralysis.

    “The domain of the paranormal itself also shows this cosmic will. There are many instances where revenants from Near-Death Experiences have reported it was made clear to them that, outside of exceptional cases (e.g., madness, etc.), suicide is an evil, evil deed with grave postmortem consequences. The same message is sometimes conveyed through ghostly paranormal means.”

    There you go using paranormal as your convenient out for the unexplainable. More religion and delusion. I am not saying there is not a power and influence of intelligence and rationality along with mysterious paranormal but you are elevating it to a worship little different from what has been done in the past religions.

    “Thus the Marxist propaganda pushing for White genosuicidism is abhorrent on a cosmic level, not just a personal one. The fiends who promulgate this poison should be prosecuted in every way possible.”

    Bunk, the universe and our own little mother nature here on earth could give a shit about Marxism and “genosuicide”. Now you are turning to the same results that Marxist expose “poison should be prosecuted in every way possible” IOW you are as delusional as they are.

    Meanwhile the miserable old hag Pelosi calls republicans enemy of the state. These are the same people who say “hate speech” needs to be stopped in society. Therefore the reeducated hysterical masses are all enraged and full of hateful stupidity.

    Neuroscience confirms that to be truly happy, you will always need something more

    “In fact, neuroscience shows that the act of seeking itself, rather than the goals we realize, is key to satisfaction.”

    Dopamine Jackpot!

    “Robert Sapolsky, professor of biology and neurology at Stanford University, compares dopamine levels in monkeys and humans. Sapolsky argues that in both, “Dopamine is not about pleasure, it’s about the anticipation of pleasure. It’s about the pursuit of happiness.” Unlike monkeys however, humans “keep those dopamine levels up for decades and decades waiting for the reward.”

    You cannot escape this. With practice & a shit load of never ending self talk reminders you can dial it down & be less of a slave to your desires & the maximum power principle.

    It’s not your fault you were born a cancer.
