Solar cycles life cycles

Imatge
For most people on this planet, the Solar Cycle is like talking about the sex of Martians. Science in general is perceived as something alien to our world, even though in reality all of our technology, medicine, and in short, everything we know today as a way of life, is the result of years of effort in this field. Apart from material progress, science sheds light on the world around us; this natural world that we consider ourselves to be separate from, but on which our lives depend . Solar flare in X ray The Sun is not just for tanning and powering photovoltaic cells. As we learn in school, it is the source of life for plants, which in turn provide us (and our livestock) with food, and it also powers our weather. Of course, it is not expected that people know everything about what the Sun does, but each sneeze of the star should be seen as something more important than a scientific curiosity or an apocalyptic headline. Today, in the midst of climate change, it is important to know tha...

Biodiversity won't save nature because it is a consequence of nature constant evolution

Imatge
Biodiversity is not something static unless the consequence of birth and extinction of species due the external pressure. The inaction of the last 30 years on climate change has brought us to the brink of disaster. Wildfires, severe droughts, severe storms or rising seawater temperatures; they are putting our society on the brink of the precipice. But the destruction that climate change is causing is also affecting ecosystems; which, pressured by pollution, the expansion of agriculture, and the general growth of mankind, are putting nature in a critical position. Today, the constant destruction of natural habitats that were preserved in the distance is a matter of concern. Humanity has reached every corner of the globe, both land and sea, and is just thinking about how to take advantage of it. The planet no longer has sanctuaries, even natural parks or biosphere reserves declared by the United Nations are already threatened by some project to exploit the resources they have. The blindn...

The prophets of the doom

Imatge
In 1997 after two years of negotiations some countries signed the climate protocol in the third climate summit in Kyoto. Twenty-two summits after the ridiculous advances fade away like the fog. In the time of climate disasters denial is strong as never and carbon industry grows desperately. The title is the name give for Donald Trump to the climate activist. Despite we are far to the doom, really doom is getting closer to us every day. However economy is turn its eyes and insists to give the same advices about how we are to tackle the future. Economy is kidnapped by the money and these at the same time by the oil. The prophets can be annoying when say that you wouldn’t listen, especially if you know that they are right . The storm is here Why economy doesn’t want to listen to the prophets? This is the real question of the climate mess. If a new virus takes prominence, world make all the necessary measures to front the illness; in the other way endemic illness is hi...

The lost decade

Imatge
We are arrived to 2020 without any of environment and climate goals achieved Today we passed to new decade. The last days newspapers and magazines make reports and extrapolations about how our world would look in the next 30 years. Some are optimistic, other give more alerts about the future; but too much seem that lives in other planet. If we see the last 30 years, we see a humanity worried about how it can grow but forgetting that planet is finite. Planet haven’t infinite land to build infrastructures, haven’t infinite air to store our polluted gases and infinite space to hide our trash. When media publish about what we must do in the next 30 years, but they forget what we hadn’t been able to do in last 30 years. Australia fires - people trapped in beach   When I began to write this blog, many people told me that we must write in positive. Well, I’m not the most joyful of person of this planet. It’s too much hard to talk in positive about future in the current cont...

The human stupidity

Imatge
COP24 was the next fail of world governments to revert the mankind’s fall to hell, in summarize.  Too many times we think that politics live in a crystal ball, and what they see as a reality is something very far of current people. Really politics have a different point of view about the world, have more information than current people and a wide context. They must take decisions that will favor the majority, not for today but the next month and years. In other hand the painful decisions are often misinformed to the public, sometimes they would sell them as good, other times they hide the real reasons. Our weak Planet “ Real Politics ” is the difference between the ideals and what they can do. When I wrote “ Absolutist heritage ” I talked about the real impossibility of global control on by the absolutist monarchs and how administration makes this real control of countries now and then. Administration is the eyes, ears and executor arm of government. Administration dec...

Tomorrow is now

Imatge
200 years from the beginning to burn fossil fuels, we are in front of its consequences. The most incredible is how a lot of people denies it. December of 2017 California is still burning. We ignore when it will finish but the result will be the disappearance of the California’s forest. We could talk about the current extraordinary weather of this days, but really these wildfires are the last steep of the great drought. The great drought killed one third of the trees which are becoming the perfect fuel. California wildfires This year was the year of wildfires and hurricanes (even in Europe). Every day the number of refugees grows. The number of regions without hope to rise after disaster also grows and people leave this regions for survive. Humans has passed the threshold of sustainability but what we do is double the losing bet. Losing for a people but a great profit for a less. The sad situation is the interested blindness of economy powers. Oil and the rest of fossil f...

We don't know what we're betting

Imatge
The countdown has probably already completed and Climate Change is inevitable, however to persist in making the same mistake will only give us the things to become worse. The oil and coal lobbies have won the game of democracy. Polls continue to support who helps coal and oil industry . No matter the manifestations of April 2017 and many others can be made, the reality is who talk about “climate is normal” or minimize impact of it, has more credibility than all studies and proves of nature. I could recall previous articles about the reality that we perceive (see " Ignore the evidence ") but the question is more complex than we might think. Warming without stop In 2007, the world economy was blown up. The reasons are many but the main thing is that the world's wealth, or rather, what we understand how global wealth really doesn’t exist. Billion and trillions of euros is just a number in a computer. 90% of transactions in our world they are financial , and these...

Temperature and survival

Imatge
Every specie is linked with the climate that it was born. Food, water or oxygen quantity determines size, shape and age to dead. When some boundary change being must change or disappear. Imagine if in the world all our possible meal disappears and other possibilities of eat will become a poison. Yes, it’s an extreme situation which is impossible to happen in our current boundary conditions but not of all impossible with other planetary boundaries that was happened in other geological times. Fish survive is in threat as ours We can’t survive in Cretaceous Age , not for the existence of terrible dinosaurs but we can’t breathe the air with our current lungs; we would walk in Cretaceous Age as we are in Pandora’s Moon of the Avatar film . As us in Cretaceous, the Jurassic animals couldn’t survive in our time (even if will resucite them as Jurassic Park ). The current air is an advantage, something that we can see with their direct sons: the birds which able to fly only with ...

Spring asthenia in fifth of February

Imatge
Just started the winter when spring already here again. This is not good nor bad now because the consequences after the live. It's over the winter. As I said a year ( Spring in full in February ) meteorological winter just finished in February; regardless that American’s marmots say, popular wisdom or any other ancestral sign. It’s a fact; today the summers end in November and winter is reduced to a few weeks of Christmas and January. The asthenia is one state where the changing of climate generated a profit fall to the person who suffers. I don’t know if I suffer it but I have a low blood pressure rather sudden changes in atmospheric pressure (no matter whether upward or downward) cause me drowsy. So, when the weather changes I can predict it with relative certainty, being the current climate roulette that we’re living a considerable emotional ordeal. This morning (5/2/17) had the soul feet, together with the change of smell general breathed in streets denoted somethin...

Climate perceptions towards climatic evolution

Imatge
The accumulation of energy in the air and oceans will set the temperature not how much CO 2 we are emitting. It says a sentence that to become rich man you don’t need a great amount of income, only need to save a cent more than what you waste, and let the time run; needless to say, if you are rich and spend a cent more than you earn sooner or later you’ll become ruined. The two statements everyone can understand and accept as true; however it may difficult to see that a cent of profit could become you a millionaire. This is because our perception of accumulation and time isn’t correct. When he looks in perspective by years and not realize that they are far from all time periods and just getting going; if this involves a sum or a subtraction is applied. Pole melting an other prove of Globalwarming Balance. As I said before it isn’t the same as a system is in balance or is stationary. As tightrope as we’re seating on a sofa are at a point where the sum of the forces, in thi...

Trump victory: The Paris Climate Game Over

Imatge
He promised to break the climate commitments and he will do it. Because he is convinced that it is a conspiracy orchestrated by China. We can tell about ignorance, pedantry, superb, swagger and more other qualifies of next president of USA. Trump is lucky cretin which luck puts in the top of way. There are a lot of vegetables which are occupying relevant sites in society, and every casual event allows to allows perpetuate itself there, even making deadly mistakes. But this is a very simple explanation of his triumph, adding the luckily of to be in the correct site in the correct time , there are a lot of conditions that give him the victory. We can’t talk about all of them but I will say you the consequences of this result. Too many people are horrified with the sentences and proposes tell for him in election campaign. However, these ideas are more close with his biography acts. Who tramples stronger often wins, and he always is who tramples strongest without seeing what breaks o...

Hypocrisy: to fight against climate change in home when own oil is sold far from your home

Imatge
"... In the oil business, you can work neck up or neck down: the first option you enriches while the second you only get dirty ..." Taylor Caldwell Norway, Scotland are countries that have signed the climate commitment in Paris (well, Scotland no because it belongs to the United Kingdom that is going out of the EU and it doesn’t find the time to do it), and was the first to get in implementation it. This news(read Norway's Prime Minister "champions global change" and Scotland 'leads UK' on climate change ), even when the subscribers haven’t been able to ratify within a year it was very spread in the news media committed to the struggle against climate change. But these countries are oil producers , this is now one of its main line of business of these countries, and many of the policies against climate change income paid by oil sales. Oil a long history of success The Paris agreement was minimal common assumable, the result of the will o...
