June 27, 2019 - Today's CO2 ppm: 412.98

  • Disaster Upon Disasterm - David Wllace Wells
  • A sad day for climate science: Supreme Court Hands GOP Big Victory on Gerrymandering, Ensuring “Massive Election Rigging”
  • I always remind myself to ask, "Can we explain the riddle of the glaciers"? So I questiong the claims of those who claim to have an answer. Here's an excellent example of climate deception. It's hard to believe this guy is trying to be objective or that he did his homework. Global warming: why you should not worry; Climate I: Is The Debate Over? Cavalier? See this DeSmog blog comment on Richard Lindzen.
  • Climate change is a reality, we have to act: UAE environment minister | Street Signs Europei 2010 - - Are the anthropogenic processes of concern? That's the question. Find the answer in the history of climate science beginning with Fourier and today's ice melt. Consider the Earth's growing CO2 density and increasing heat in the global ocean. Sounds like the Tobacco Strategy clothed in agnosticism. Yes, the "beginning of life on Earth" was much, much higher, but that was not huma life existing on an industrialized planet housing 8,000,000,000 people. There's a big difference. More, today we have science going back nearly 200 years. Finally, today's CO2 ppm is 412.98 and calimbing more rapidly with each passing day.
  • The real question is, do we want the 7th Generation to inherit a planet over 600 ppm because we think think agnostically about climate science and direct observations? ?Even the link between cigarette smoking and cancer, kind of a gold standard in the medical world, is not as tight as the correlation between CO2 and Antarctic temperatures." Archer, David. The Long Thaw (Princeton Science Library) (p. 75). Princeton University Press. Kindle Edition.

  • Jay Inslee says he's about climate change first and foremost. so for my memory and posterity, the Democratic Party started its so-called "presidential debates" last night and proved one thing, only Inslee gets it. Neither the other candidates nor the Democratic Party leadership gets it. There's only one issue to debate at this moment in history, whether to invoke a state of war against the new climate change and jail deceivers, or invoke a state of war against the new climate change and ignore the decades of moral corruption by corporations and the US Government. All other issues are subsets, if that, over against the new climate change.Then there's the plastic pollution and insect killing corporations.

Human encroachment on new environments is a dangerous game. It not only exposes us to unfamiliar parasites but can trigger cascading ecological change with unpredictable consequences.

June 12, 2019 - June bugs: 0

June 11, 2019 - Another day and the web-of-life continues to shrink without pause. It's systemic.

  • Reading about Nature's triump: The Fate of Rome: Climate, Disease, and the End of an Empire (The Princeton History of the Ancient World Book 2) -- It comes in Kindle and Audible, and the audible makes for entertaining listening. An important book for anyone interested in the climate during the Roman Empire's imperialist powers. Climate, food, infectious diseases, genetics, religion, archeology, paleontology, and more come to light. This is an important book for entertainment and a good introduction to the role of climate ("little ice age") and geopolitics.
  • Building a Shipping Container Home Moving, Cutting, and Framing a Container House
  • Earth-cooled, shipping container underground CA home for 30K
  • Added Not Worse than Exxon
  • Still no June bugs. Will they ever return, or is this the "new normal." What's going on elsewhere in the insect kingdom? Can we pay some sort of penance, some sort of sacrament of reconciliation to bring them back with the other vanishing species? We've definitely gone too far; yet, our great leaders ignore biology, ecology, oceanography, climate, over population, more. Growth at all costs prevails in many areas of human life, even at the cost of human life.
  • Appellate Judge Sees Criminal Neglect In U.S. Response To Climate Change: "In Juliana vs. United States, Olson contends the government has worsened climate change by promoting the fossil-fuel industry, by allowing oil and gas development on public lands, by sharing in the revenues, by working interdependently with polluters, by being "so involved in private activity that it's constitutionally liable."
  • US military under climate attack
  • California takes from climate mitigation to to pay for drinking water - - This is how easy it is for politicians to take from one and give to the other. This is the threat of the Green New Deal, leveraging global warming mitigation for pork barrel.

Why Blog?

A universe of reasons exists to blog. The logger need only pinch the great Internet ether for ideas to spill out. Your basic 12-year-old boy will not agree, this blogger admits. Overall, for adult bloggers, the blogger blogs for the same reason the writer writes, "The writer has something to say." (Sartre)

For this blogger, blogging creates an archive for current events. Not only climate science related to Earth's atmosphere and Killer Ocean, politics now finds a home here, sadly. It's impossible to watch the insane politics of the demopublicans and ignore the war against Mother Earth's babies, life itself. Example: no June bugs as of this date, June 2019; not a good sign, if seeing is believing.

Blogging becomes more than a hobby; it becomes an addiction. So after June, blog posts for Killer Oceans must decelerate in frequency. Like any addiction, a mind-over-matter approach must kick-in. It's hard to give up because it creates a reality check. One cannot help noticing when the written word here matches the written words of climate scientists and journalists worldwide. Blogging, then, ensures a mental health tool remains for these absolutely crazy days.

Sadly, young people now grow into this crazy world and think that it is "normal." It is not normal, especially the part about the war on life and science. Young people must read widely to ensure a general education innoculates them against these days. Otherwise, we lose liberal democracy, our 200 year experiment.

My first blog began and ended in 2003, when I learned Search Engine Optimization (SEO) for the Internet. I needed to promote business interests; in those days, Yahoo! still prevailed. Google soon became king of the Internet search technologies and begat pay-per-click advertising in a big way. Today Google has a worldwide clientele and Yahoo! and I suffer business deflation, but for different reasons. SEO still works on both Google and Yahoo!, but thanks to pay-per-click advertising, SEO carries much less value. Still, SEO skills have value, and therefore, so too does blogging. But why?

Blogging gives the SEO professional or semi-professional a means to titillate Google. Only by creating quality content with a prescribed keyword density and keyword placement, a web page's future ranking among "organic" web pages climbs or falls. "Organic" in SEO language means not a pay-per-click ranking but the old, classic, brute labor of ranking work. That's how blogging comes into this bloggers world.

SEO becomes meaningless in terms of a Killer Oceans web site. The phrase Killer Oceans has little star appeal. It's not sexy. People do not want to read or hear about ocean heat, ocean acidification, and ocean plastic pollution. Place this idea in context. The highest paid SEO technicians work in the most visited web sites, pornography web sites, not Killer Oceans web sites. That is the state of humankind. The libido, as always, rules, and it rules the Internet most forcefully.

Trump Heaven Bound?

  • When you begin to think that it could not become any more insane, it becomes more insane: White House blocked intelligence aide’s written testimony saying human-caused climate change could be ‘possibly catastrophic’. Trump's behavior is not only insane, it's suicidal.
  • Is it conceivable that the evangelicals convinced Trump that he is going to go to heaven? Occams's razor or parsimony indicates so. At the risk of being dogmatic, there is no other conceivable explanation. The short-term damage outweighs damage from the Iraq invasion, easily. Long-term damage means the end of civilization, at least, and very possibly human extinction.
  • We cannot survive with acidic oceans and insect extinctions, and this is near-future damage, for starters. There's so much more on the way. Trump thinks he's going to heaven and the hell with the rest. Plus, he must know that the saudis will blow the hell out of Israel, for one. It's only a matter of time now that they have nuke technology. He now walks with the "select;" he must believe.

D-Day: The Forgotten Battle of Lyme Bay

D-Day 1944, allied landings in Normandy, Omaha Beach - PPM 310.1 (Mona Loua), about 25 percent lower atmospheric carbon dioxide than today's 414.3 ppm. Bloody Battlefields: The Story Of Omaha Beach (D-Day Documentary) | Timeline

  • “Never before in the annals of warfare have so few been commanded by so many.” General Maxwell Taylor (101st Airborne) parodied Churchill. Never before in the annals of warfare had an army emitted as much carbon dioxide, either. Twentieth-century, mechanized warfare begets blood and carbon dioxide beyond imagination.
  • Guts, not glory took Omaha Beach, and this was one beach that the US Army should have ignored. “Citizen soldiers” took that beach away from young, German boys wielding machine guns. “Our boys,” Ernie Pyle would write, sacrificed beyond measure. The first wave of the 29th Infantry fell victim in mass to the German M42, the world’s fastest machine gun, over 1,200 rounds per minute. Many of the 29th were draftees. Many were National Guard “weekend warriors” in it for a few more dollars a month to help feed families. The 1st Infantry Division (The Big Red One) landed to the east of the 29th. Both paid a heavy price for a bit of beach. Many had never seen combat. Today, we refuse our best for their families offspring as we destroy human habitat. (Thank’s guys!)
  • The “Great Generation’s” assault against fascism reflected the working class nature of World War II as had World War I. The American working class, like the German working class, drove a stake deep into Marxist Leninism’s nonsense ideology. The working class would fight in capitalist wars. “Class consciousness” as an empowering ideology had failed over against family, church, and nation-state. For the nation-states’ ruling classes first, and then for the war against racism and fascism, the American working class died on foreign beaches to defend liberal democracy, we might believe, but had they? It’s easier, more straightforward than that.
  • So why did the 29th Infantry “grunts” charge machine guns embedded between concrete walls on an Atlantic Ocean killer beach? It’s a simple answer, sociologists tell us, “peer pressure.” Peer pressure, second only to the libido, accounts for much human behavior and history. So from the bedroom to Omaha Beach, libido and peer pressure explain a wide swath of human behavior for most of human history. Never mind spirit.
  • That’s the simple answer why soldiers attack machines guns, peer pressure. It’s the same for Americans facing machine guns on Pacific Ocean beaches. Japanese soldiers attacked American machine guns because of peer pressures, bonzi, peer pressure. Peer pressure explains so much.
    Peer pressure explains how fossil fuel executives stood by and concealed a vital truth, one decade of leadership after another. More, greed plays into the sociology of corporate genocide against Earth as well. It accounts for the coming world war, World War III. More on this later and from Max Weber, The Protestant Ethic and Spirit of Capitalism.
  • On Omaha Beach, the Atlantic Ocean’s waves slowly washed the blood from the shore. Ernie Pyle wrote, “Men were sleeping on the sand, some of them sleeping forever. Men were floating in the water, but they didn’t know they were in the water, for they were dead.” (The New York Times) “COMMAND POST, IE SHIMA, April 18, (AP) - Ernie Pyle, war correspondent beloved by his co-workers, G.I.s and generals alike, was killed by Japanese machine-gun bullet through his left temple this morning.”
  • Today we can imagine the final cost of war because of Hiroshima. The price may be everything. And, sadly and beyond imagination, without congressional approval or my approval, the president of the United States gave nuclear technology to a 13th-century Saudi prince only months ago. There is no putting this genie back in the bottle. There is no removing the Atlantic (killer) ocean’s acid either.

Pumped Dry: The Global Crisis of Vanishing Groundwater | USA TODAY

Climate Deception and Climate Deniers

"When I say that Descartes consecrated doubt, you must remember that it was that sort of doubt which Goethe has called "the active skepticism, whose whole aim is to conquer itself"; and not that other sort which is born of flippancy and ignorance, and whose aim is only to perpetuate itself, as an excuse for idleness and indifference."

Huxley, T. H. Aphorisms and Reflections from the Works of T. H. Huxley - Kindle

Key words to take away from Huxley's Goethe quote: excuse, idleness, indifference. These are the key attitudes of climate deceivers and climate deniers. We see politicians relying on these attitudes to step aside from confronting the great issues, climate damage and over population.
