The truth about climate change in Poetry

The Climate Change Debate

The Industrial Revolution began humanity’s abuse of fossil fuels. Scientists began to believe that fossil fuels helped to the cool the Earth. Fast Forward to today and the news media informs everyone that carbon dioxide is going to kill everyone if they do not go green. Politicians formulate new ways that they can tax gasoline making driving from point A to point B more expensive every year in the name of the environment. The oldest trick in the book is that people believe what others say, especially if that other person is some form of authority. Even experts make mistakes, just think about Dr. Linus Pauling who claimed that Vitamin C cured cancer even though he died of cancer. Climate change is currently happening on the Earth, but are humans are not the main cause of climate change. Almost everyone who is anyone will more than likely say that humans are the cause of climate change. In the climate change debate, there is an argument that was shunned away a few decades ago that explains the nature and natural causes of why climate change is abruptly happening on Earth. The alternative theory demonstrates that humanity is not the leading culprit in climate change debate.

Pause for a moment and think about everything that happens at this current moment. The world appears to be in utter chaos from politics to climate change to the news media spreading fear. Climate change is affecting the Earth, and scientist, politicians, and the media blame humanity for releasing massive amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Because of this fear-based propaganda, money, laws, and treaties are agreed upon to stop a climate change that is bound to happen no matter what anybody decides to do.

The debate about climate change began around the 1950s with scientist forming two groups in the 1970s: cooling and warming theorist (Bond para. 6). The warming theorist believes that in approximately a few centuries that global warming will sweep the globe while cooling theorist “focus more on the three-million-year record of recurring ice ages and the increasing mass of the polar ice caps” (para. 6). The American government chose to back the warming theorist because they did “[n]ot [want] to curtail global deforestation and the burning of fossils fuels” (para. 6). The climate change debate becomes a debate on perspective. The recent anomalies that humanity perceives as global warming or ice age approaches are nothing new to the Earth. Humanity is afraid because this is a situation in which humanity has no control over and trying to control a situation can lead to further havoc and chaos.

Dr. John Hamaker discovered a link to soil nutrition and the 100,000 years glaciation cycle. According to Dr. Hamaker, “The natural system of soil remineralization calls for glaciation to start up every 100,000 years” (17). Life on its terms depletes the soil nutrition as life expands during the 10,000 years of the warming period. Once the soil depletes, the glaciation completes the same cycle once again to put the minerals and nutrients back into the soil so that life can explode again. While this happens, humanity “has compounded the problem by rapidly removing carbon from the crust of the earth… Not just fossil fuels have been removed, but our agricultural soils have also been stripped of carbon” (17). The nutrition of the soil erodes away day by day. The loss of nutrition in the soil causes plants to die and not grow very well in a toxic environment. Therefore, the reaction of the Earth to heal itself is to kill itself enough to start the process of glaciation to provide the soil with nutrition to bring forth an expansion of life The process has already begun with the extreme amount of forest fires, ocean acidification, droughts, extreme hurricanes and tornadoes, extreme animal deaths, melting ice caps, halting the ocean’s ability to transfer weather, and extinctions are the warning signs of an impending ice age that will heal the chaos to restore order and rejuvenate life.

The Sun and the Earth’s orbital progression around the Sun are also affecting climate change. According to Maureen E. Raymo and Peter Huybers, “[i]n 1976, James Hays, John Imbrie and Nicholas Shackleton unearthed strong evidence in support of the orbital hypothesis of glaciation” (para. 3). They discovered that over the “past 800,000, ice sheets took about 90,000 years to grow and only 10,000 years to collapse” (para. 3). Hays, Imbrie, and Shackleton concluded that the precession of the equinoxes (19,000-23,000 years) changes the tilt of the Earth over time causing the effect of climate change (para. 5). This causes variations in solar radiation levels across the globe that affects the climate of the Earth. Charles A. Perry and Kenneth J. Hsu agree with this solar output theory along with the precision of the equinoxes. They add that the Earth, during interglacial periods, goes through a mixture of hot and cold climates with the little ice ages happening everything 1,300 years followed by 1,500 years of warming periods (para. 1). These bipolar forces continue to fight each until the cold snap happens and the 90,000 years of glaciation blankets the northern hemisphere.

Then, there are all the other factors that most of humanity do not perceive while they are trending #gogreen. One of those factors are the electric car causes a significant amount of damage to the environment. Lizzie Wade confirms that electric cars do run on a power grid that burns coal (para. 3). This can be just as bad, if not worse, than driving a car powered by gasoline. The most hazardous materials that are engineered into the electric cars are those special “rare metals” (para. 3). The “rare metals” are mustered up deep within “environmentally destructive mines” (para. 5, 6).

Another factor that humanity turns a blind eye to is the livestock industry. The livestock that America raises causes significant damage to the environment. Humanity produces grain and other foods that livestock need to sustain their life. This repeats Dr. Hamaker’s statements that the more that the soil nutrients deplete, the worse the cyclic patterns of ices ages begin. According to the Cornell Chronicle, “the fossil fuel to food fuel…Beef and lamb are the most costly, in terms of fossil fuel energy input to protein output at 54:1 and 50:1, respectively. Turkey and chicken meat production are the most efficient (13:1 and 4:1, respectively)” (U.S. Could Feed 800 Million People with Grain That Livestock Eat, Cornell Ecologist Advises Animal Scientists” para 12). At this point, eating meat is a contender for adding the climate change circumstances.

If that does not hit the nail in the coffin, then humanity needs to realize that all the economic systems are based on oil. Oil is in every product that everyone buys, and there is no escaping that process. Travis Donavon announces that “[o]il is everywhere. It permeates our daily lives in ways we never think about. It’s in carpeting, furniture, computers and clothing.” (para. 4). There is no escaping the dangerous chemical that humanity blames for causing massive amounts of havoc to the environment! If humanity were to stop buying and consuming oil, then every economic system would collapse and almost everyone would go hungry.

There is an exit from this climate change debacle and that is to realize that climate change is not preventable. Instead of spending time and money on resources on solutions that are not going to correct climate change, humanity needs to spend that valuable time and money on solutions that will prepare humanity for climate change. The first step to change is to become consciously aware of the wrong situation and understand how to correct the situation. The human effect on climate change is minimal compared to the natural causes of climate change. Since climate change is the Earth’s way of healing itself there is no need to disrupt the healing process. Humanity is not the culprit in the climate change debacle for the Earth demonstrates that on its own. As the old saying goes, no matter what nature will always win.
