Albedo 0.39 The
forbidden fruit we cant ignore
We
need the time to transition to a lowest common denominator life
support strategy _ this has been altered by the rapid introduction of
stored fossil fat aka fossil fuel CO2... What is, is and giving the
carbon trade plausible deniability for secondhand
smoke damage to planet and humanity is a moot point _ shame on
us... http://raenergy.igc.org/ought.html
The planet has
glaciation
cycles, we extrapolated the Fire
and Ice Scenario in our Frost show and a precession
of equinoxes in our Hair piece with the dawning of the Age of
Aquarius. We did some training
videos on the universal standard
of living with a diminished footprint, giving a chance at a peaceful
transition to Humanity’s need for commonality
recognition.
Global
Dimming Horizon producer David Sington on why predictions about the
Earth's climate will need to be re-examined.

Video global
dimming: http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article15809.htm
The
next glaciation cycle which begins with the rise in CO2 over 300PPM
as they have for millions of years, is over due... The warming
triggers more forest conflagration with it's reflective particulates,
the melting of Greenland and Antarctic glaciers lessens the weight on
one side of the tectonic plates, causing more CO2 release from
volcanoes and rift activity from the seesaw action, this in turn
accelerates the release of more reflective volcanic soot causing
rapid planet cooling from the alteration of the albedo from all that
reflective particulate _ To
say that for destruction ice Is
also great And would suffice...
Many who fear second
hand smoke law suits, refer to the middle ages warming and cooling as
proof that man did not cause the latest global warming. But the ocean
conveyer, volcanic actions such as Krakatoa have caused warming as
well as cooling during the last interglacial. The second hand smoke
is the real argument here, it is killing the planet on many levels
and the climate change harangue has bogged down this discussion on
anthropomorphic damage to the planet, fauna and flora etc.. It is our
life support strategies at fault by overbooking the planet by 30%
using carbon fuels for transportation and agriculture _ depleting the
planet 30% faster than it can replenish was aided by
cheap energy and the greed which followed. .
Twelve-month
long drop in world temperatures wipes out a century of
warming, all in one year's time. For all four sources, it's the
single fastest temperature change ever recorded, either up or down.

The
melting ice from the Antarctic and Greenland continue to slide,
contributing to the rise in seal level. This will continue even into
the on coming glaciation.

Is
Global Warming Past the Point of No Return?
We
are in danger of passing an extremely dangerous tipping point, with
the frightening discovery of massive deposits of sub-sea methane in
the Arctic and the tundra as it thaws. We need to consider the ice
cores that give us some millions of years of records. The main
theme is that we have reoccurring ten to twelve thousand warm years
with a hundred thousand years of glaciation. The trigger for all the
past glaciations is the PPM(parts
per million) above three
hundred PPM for CO2. This is exacerbated by the methane and the
soot affecting the Albedo which has given us some lag time.
Sea ice reflects
up to 80 per cent of sunlight hitting it, but this "albedo
effect" is mostly lost when the sea is uncovered. "We've
exposed all this dark ocean to the sun's heat so that the overall
heat content increases," he explained.

This is a Moral Issue
The British
fueling their trains with Egyptian Mummies in the eighteen hundreds,
is on the same audacity level as burning Coal to kill the
planet.
What Climate change is all about.
The original aboriginal, space mother Gaia, is experiencing a span of
altered states due to some anthropomorphic
induced aberrations.
The Solar Budget is how things work around here and it has been
Gored.
The fossil fat from coal and oil from dead plants
status quo is attempting to fight mother nature in
our name _ less than five percent of the planet's population
responsible for it's demise. We have a narrow window of survival as a
species. Many species we can rely on, as the canary in the mine, have
already perished or are seriously degraded. GAIA'S ALBEDO 0.39 the
one constant we can not mess with because climate change results _
the forbidden fruit is a metaphor for the violation of the knowledge
base. The cosmic sense behind living in the solar budget
http://www.igc.org/raenergy/Threshold.html
GAIA'S ALBEDO
0.39
Contrary to some popular beliefs, the Planet operates
on the energy from the sun _ 127.7 Watts 300 Btu Per Square Foot
which is the solar constant. This energy is fixed at the rate at
which sunlight is reflected away from the planet. This
reflection is called Albedo and the Albedo of Gaia is 0.39. as
any Vangelis
fan should know.
The planet is designed to operate efficiently
with sixty one percent of the available sunlight and reflects 39 %
(.39) back out to space. This delicate balance is regulated and
affected by what is floating around in the atmosphere such as clouds,
soot etc. , but also from releasing sequestered CO2 from fossil fuel
combustion etc. giving us less time to make the transition back to
the Glaciation
mode.
Gasses put into the atmosphere by
Forest fires (Proscribed fires), volcanoes etc. and other natural
occurrences are part of the Albedo regulation process of the planet
along with the systematic burial of dead plants and
distant relatives to regulate CO2. On the other
hand exhuming all that stored CO2 and fossil fat for sudden
oxidation is an insult to the whole planet and not much higher
on the morality scale than the British using Egyptian Mummies to heat
their homes and fire the boilers of their trains at the turn of the
century.
Almost everything creates a ripple effect that can
disrupt the Albedo balance, even wood burning for cooking creates
micro-climate changes not just from pollution but cutting the
trees down in hillside areas like the Himalayas causes soil
destabilization and floods. And most agree that destroying
large quantities of living vegetation like half the
forests on Earth and the rain forests as you read, compromises
the overall CO2 Sink (absorbing or sequestering
surplus CO2).
But perhaps switching back to Solar Energy
strategies
would soften the insult along with sacrificing our distant
ancestors in more benign altered states such as Albedo friendly
non biodegradable building materials. In other words why
release the Albedo sensitive CO2 of these stored
prehistoric calories(fossil fat) to heat the house and run the
car, when a year or two's supply of these former carbon based units
can become non-biodegradable building materials to actually
build the house and car. This in turn can put a little Jurassic park
into every house and car with 'bottled water and sunshine'(Hydrogen)
providing the utilities.
Welcome
to the Solar Hydrogen Economy. Water and power from polluted water in
one pipe, both are great pacifiers. Water and power enables cottage
industry as well as home food along with on sight waste
control, to enable the recycling of water. Rezoning
is the activist work needed here to end mandatory consumption and
mandatory non production as well as increasing the value of
real-estate.
We began in the fifties in our Folksay days to
recognize that some Design science was in order, to help us
operate within the .39 Albedo range _ the Solar Budget.
As Robert Frost said "We'll be all right if nothing goes wrong
with the lighting!" Of course as artists we saw the
basic 'what can you do for your planet’ strategies as
sustainability, anti-fascism (Freewill thing) and pollution control
etc. and we played our trade (multi-media) to get people to see the
light(pun intended). Our Man On the Moon script (before Sputnik)
carried over to researching the nuts and bolts of the Hydrogen
Economy with our treadmill TIME. This is a strategy to ease the
tensions in a world that inhibits
peace.
http://raenergy.igc.org/AbrahamIsaac.html
Early
on we began with direct democracy (getting out the vote) through song
with Woody's "We won't study war no more" to cleanse
ourselves spiritually (anti fascism) as well as the air, to
"This land is Your land, This land is my land, This land is made
for you and me" as the global village planetary
anthem-referenda, as
a new twist in citizen advice and consent, to Hair's "Let the
Sun shine in" heralding the dawning of a sun powered age
of Aquarius etc.. We also combined theater, TV and film
along with concerts and road shows as part of our attitude adjustment
synergy. (see worksheet-bio). We did a film called Abraham and Isaac
a Command
Performance to celebrate the enLIGHTenment _don’t let the
light go out.
First
the movie, then the real life, all the worlds a stage sequel is now
casting. In
the early seventies we formed the 'Ra
Energy Fdn. To investigate the life support equation by putting
together an unusual cast of artists teamed with rocket
scientists rescued from the space program which was being
politically scuttled along with the Hydrogen Economy.
This
forty year living movie depicting artists and scientists Tweaking the
envelope is presented as our think tank report-interactive script
detailing our down to "Earth" premise _ How to kickstart a
compromised planet with faulty lighting or if we procrastinate much
longer "How to kickstart a dead planet" where the
lights went out. .

Some
say the world will end in fire,
Some
say in ice.
From
what I've tasted of desire
I
hold with those who favor fire.
But
if it had to perish twice,
I
think I know enough of hate
To
say that for destruction ice
Is
also great
And
would suffice.

begin with reverse role fairness morphing into commonality
reformation. Does Humanity have a family

Ps. At the dedication of the Frost
Memorial in San Francisco in 1978 Will Geer left this message and
quoted Robert Frost as we did in our shows "An Evenings' Frost"
and our "Americana Bus Tour" that we toured in the
sixties and seventies.
"We can no longer live on coal and
oil from dead plants"
Our play seems out for an almost
infinite run.
Don't
mind a little thing like the actors fighting.
The
only thing I worry about is the sun.
We'll
be all right if nothing goes wrong with the lighting!

Within
the Gandhi piece is
mentioned a lecture called 'The Hydrogen Economy Stupid' which gives
some of the technical details and where we accumulate the funding for
the global village by not rebuilding the amenity infrastructure. THE
HYDROGEN ECONOMY STUPID because it has been staring us in the face
since the big bang _ the Universe is the Hydrogen Economy Stupid...

-Labor is prior
to, and independent of, capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor,
and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is
the superior of capital, and deserves much of higher consideration.
-Abraham Lincoln
Under the placid surface [of the economy],
there are disturbing trends: huge imbalances, disequilibria, risks --
call them what you will. Altogether the circumstances seem to me as
dangerous and intractable as any I can remember, and I can remember
quite a lot. Paul Volcker, Former US Federal Reserve Bank Chairman
April 10, 2005.
"Should any political party attempt
to abolish social security, unemployment insurance, and eliminate
labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of that party again
in our political history. There is a tiny splinter group, of course,
that believes that you can do these things. Among them are a few
Texas oil millionaires, and an occasional politician or businessman
from other areas. Their number is negligible, and they are
stupid."
-- President Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1952
"The
modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in
moral philosophy: that is the search for a superior moral
justification for selfishness." -- John Kenneth
Galbraith
"Fascism should more appropriately be called
CORPORATISM because it is a merger of state and corporate power."

editor). http://raenergy.igc.org/republicanfascistparty.html

Never doubt that a
small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world.
Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has. - - Margaret Mead
Let
us experiment with laws and customs, with money systems and
governments, until we chart the one true course - until we find the
majesty of our proper orbit as the planets above have found theirs&
And then at last we shall move all together in the harmony of our
sphere under the great impulse of a single creation - one unity, one
system, one design. Roger Bacon
