In the end – there is no reliable alternate source of oil and gas. Manipulating weather has increased disease. Science is simply guessing. And messing with the Ice Shelves in Antarctica is likely to have very dire consequences. Call in the aliens who built the pyramids…. And find trusted ways to grow crops utilizing significantly less water. Solved.
As long as there is War, people die. As long as people die, there is more water to go around. The Middle East is a quagmire of water scarcity. Water scarcity means food crisis as farmer’s water allocations continue to dry up. Desalinization is not considered the solution given its cost and environmental impact, so what is the solution other than depopulation?
As agriculture in the Middle East scaled back in order to conserve water, unemployed farmers moved into the urban areas creating density issues. The countries with the largest urban density include: Kuwait, Qatar, and Israel – among others. The irony of course is that the Middle East is scaling back agriculture in order to preserve the 15 million gallons of water necessary to frack a single well. Oil produces money – agriculture can be imported.
According CSIS, global temperatures will rise by 4-5 degrees over the next 2-3 decades. Net Zero is a farce and oil still represents 82% of global consumption. In line with this, Saudi Aramco CEO, Amin Nasser, invoked a bit of reality into the equation by saying, “The world should “abandon the fantasy of phasing out oil and gas and instead invest in them adequately reflecting realistic demand assumptions.”
Nothing is being done to preserve the Water.
The interest in Antarctica has little to do with research and more to do with finding a way to extract the freshwater which represents 70% of global supply. It isn’t simply the ice sheets of Antarctica, it is recently discovered massive freshwater lakes beneath the surface. Seven countries maintain territorial claims in Antarctica, but the United States and most other countries do not recognize those claims. Those seven countries include: Argentina, Australia, Chile, France, New Zealand, Norway, and the United Kingdom. Why? Water is MONEY.
In the near future, the value of water will likely surpass that of oil. Finding ways to extract Antarctica’s water and transport it to individual countries remains the problemo. But there is an even larger issue at stake; extracting the freshwater from icebergs and underground lakes will cause temperatures to rise even more. As the temperatures heat up – more water evaporates.
The Ross Ice Shelf is the largest in Antarctica. It is a massive floating iceberg roughly the size of France. Ice shelves play a significant role in regulating the planet’s climate. They do so by reflecting solar radiation back into the atmosphere and by acting as a barrier that controls the flow of glaciers into the ocean. These shelves keep the ice in Antarctica from melting into the ocean. Freshwater leakage into salt water oceans has multiple effects.
- When the ice shelves melt the freshwater causes the sea’s to rise.
- A depletion of the ice shelves would cause temperatures to rise.
- Too great a depletion will affect marine wildlife.
- When countries make ‘claims’ they won’t work in collaboration but for themselves making the chance of inappropriate handling, ie destruction, much more likely.
Scientists are concerned over the fact that the Ross Shelf moves in a lurching motion 6” per day. Because this lurch has only recently been noted, it is unknown how and why? Speculation of underground ice quakes has been put forth with no evidence. The fear is that anything abbienormal would have tremendous consequences for earth’s climate. Given there is zero science to support what is normal vs what is abbienormal, scientists err on the side of abbienormal. Tinkering with what is quite possibly a natural stress release, science may once again become the cause instead of the cure.
Perhaps, the global cloud seeding and weather manipulation is the actual criminal in altering natural weather patterns. Some scientists have become much more fearful that this is the case. Others, bent over their slides and algorithms, have deduced that deep water beneath Antarctica is warming… based on pathetic evidence observed over less than two decades. So “Science” wants to reverse what is naturally occurring. What could go wrong?
Climate Change.
