THIS POST IS AN ANALYSIS OF OUR OBSESSIVE FEAR OF CARBON, ITS RELATIONSHIP WITH OUR FEAR OF GLOBAL WARMING, THE FEAR THAT IT IS HUMAN CAUSED, AND THE CREATION OF A CLIMATE OF FEAR THAT HAS PARALYZED THE HUMAN RACE AND ITS ASSUMED CAPACITY FOR INTELLIGENCE AND RATIONAL THOUGHT.

THE FEAR OF CLIMATE CHANGE PREACHED BY CLIMATE SCIENTISTS AS A CREATION OF THE THE COMBUSTION OF FOSSIL FUELS BY THE INDUSTRIAL ECONOMY OF THE HUMANS HAS CREATED A CORRESONDING FEAR OF CARBON AS A DANGEROUS AND EVIL ELEMENT THAT THREATENS THE END OF THE HUMAN RACE AND PERHAPS THE END OF LIFE ON EARTH AND THE COMPLETE DESTRUCTION OF THE PLANET ITSELF. THE FEAR OF CARBON HAS BEEN UNLOADED ON FOSSIL FUELS AND ON THE OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY NOW DESCRIBED AS THE DEVIL THAT THREATENS OUR EXISTENCE.

YET WE HUMANS AND ALL LIFE ON EARTH ARE CARBON LIFE FORMS CREATED FROM THE CARBON IN A CARBON PLANET. WE SHOW BELOW THAT IN THE CONTEXT OF THE REALITIES OF OUR PLANET THE FEAR OF CARBON BY THE CARBON LIFE FORMS ON A CARBON PLANET MUST BE VIEWED AS SUPERSTITION AND HYSTERIA AND NOT AS SCIENCE NOR AS LOGICAL THOUGHT.

THE WEIGHT OF THE PLANET EARTH IS ABOUT 6E24KG. THIS WEIGHT IS DISTRIBUTED AS FOLLOWS: MANTLE=54% AND CORE=45% LEAVING THE CRUST OF THE PLANET AS NO MORE THAN 1% OF THE PLANET.

YET, THE LAND, OCEAN, AND ATMOSPHERE, WHERE WE LIVE, AND THE ONLY PART OF THE PLANET WITH LIFE ON EARTH INCLUDING US HUMANS, AND THE ONLY PART OF THE PLANET WITH WHICH WE HAVE A DIRECT EXPERIENCE, IS SLIGHTLY LESS THAN 1% OF THE PLANET BY WEIGHT.

A FURTHER NOTE OF THIS MASS BALANCE IS THAT THE WEGHT OF LIFE ON EARTH IS 1E12 TONNES WHILE THE WEIGHT OF ALL THE HUMANS IS 4.8E2 TONNES AND THE WEIGHT OF ALL THE THINGS THAT HUMANS HAVE BUILT IS 1E12 TONNES. FROM THESE FIGURES WE NOTE AS FOLLOWS:

(1): THE WEIGHT OF ALL THE HUMANS ON EARTH IS IS AN INSIGNIFICANT PORTION OF THE WEIGHT OF LIFE ON EARTH. AND

(2): THE WEIGHT OF LIFE ON EARTH IS A INSIGNIFICANT PORTION OF THE WEIGHT OF THE CRUST OF THE PLANET AND

(3): THE CRUST OF THE PLANET IS AN INSIGNIFICANT PORTION OF THE PLANET.

(4): CONCLUSION: THE ASSUMED PLANETARY RELEVANCE OF HUMANS IS NOT FOUND IN DATA.

YET ANOTHER ISSUE IN TERMS OF THE ROLE OF HUMANS AT A PLANETARY SCALE, IS THE NOTION THAT THE LOVE AFFAIR OF HUMANS WITH DIGGING UP CARBON FROM THE CRUST AND BURNING IT IS A SIGNIFICANT ANTHROPOGENIC ALTERATION OF THE PLANET’S CARBON DISTRIBUTION AMONG CORE&MANTLE AND THE CRUST AND ON THE CRUST, AMONG OCEAN, SOIL, ATMOSPHERE, AND LIFE FORMS.

IN TERMS OF THE MUCH FEARED ELEMENT CARBON THOUGHT TO CAUSE PLANETARY DEVASTATION BY WAY OF CLIMATE CHANGE AND OCEAN ACIDIFICATION, THE MASS BALANCE SHOWS THAT THE CRUST OF THE PLANET WHERE WE LIVE AND WHERE WE HAVE THINGS LIKE HUMANS AND ATMOSPHERE AND OCEAN AND CLIMATE CONTAINS 0.2% OF THE PLANET’S CARBON. THE OTHER 99.8% OF THE THE MUCH FEARED CARBON ON THIS PLANET IS IN THE MANTLE AND CORE. THIS MASS BALANCE IMPLIES THAT WHAT HUMANS HAVE LEARNED TO FEAR IS THE IMPOSSIBLITY THAT HUMAN ACTIVITY INVOLVING DIGGING FOR CARBON AND BURNING IT CAN MAKE SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO THE DISTRIBUTION OF CARBON ON EARTH SUCH THAT HUMAN ACTIVITY CAN ALTER THE CARBON DISTRIBUTION AND THAT THIS HUMAN ALTERNED DISTRIBUTION THREATENS THE PLANET.

THE FOSSIL ASSUMPTION OF FOSSIL FUELS:

THE REASON WE CALL FOSSIL FUELS “FOSSIL FUELS” IS THAT THEY HAVE NO ISOTOPES THAT WOULD BE EXPECTED TO EXIST HAD THEY BEEN EXPOSED TO SUNSHINE. SO THEY MUST HAVE COME FROM DEEP UNDER THE GROUND AND SO THEREFORE THEY MUST BE FROM LONG DEAD CRITTERS AND SO THEREFORE THEY MUST BE FOSSIL CARBON. HOWEVER, THIS ARGUMENT CANNOT BE USED TO DISTINGUISH MANTLE CARBON FROM FOSSIL CARBON BECAUSE MANTLE CARBON DOES NOT HAVE ISOTOPES EITHER BECAUSE THEY HAVE NOT BEEN IN THE SUN. AND MANTLE CARBON IS CONSTANTLY LEAKING OUT INTO CRUST, THROUGH HYDROTHERMAL VENTS, OCEAN FLOOR VOLCANISM, AND MANTLE PLUMES.

GENESIS AND THE BAMBI PRINCIPLE.

THE HUMAN CAUSED CLIMATE CHANGE THEORY APPEARS TO BE INSPIRED BY A GENESIS BASED ENVIRONMENTALISM VIEW THAT HUMANS ARE NOW IN CONTROL OF THE EARTH AND THAT THEREFORE HUMANS CAUSE IMPORTANT PLANETARY CHANGES AND THAT THEREFORE HUMAN ACTIVITY DETERMINES THE STATE OF THE EARTH INCLUDING SUCH THINGS AS SPECIES DIVERSITY, THE QUALITY OF LIFE ON EARTH, AND THE CLIMATE.

HOW FAR THE TERMITES HAVE SPREAD AND HOW LONG AND WELL THEY HAVE DINED.

HUMAN CAUSE: THE REAL ISSUE HERE IS HUMAN CAUSE BECAUSE WITHOUT EVIDENCE OF HUMAN CAUSE OF THE WARMING TREND, WHATEVER IMPACTS THE WARMING MAY HAVE ARE ALL NATURAL.
