▶  CLIMATE CHANGE, CORAL REEFS, DEFORESTATION AND DENGUE.

The 21st century will present gloomy challenges for Costa Rica and the rest of Latin America, such as the collapse of wildlife habitats, animal extinction, water scarcity and the spread of disease in an already vulnerable population.

The United Nation’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) laid out this forecast on March 31, as one of its region-by-region follow-ups to the September global assessment on climate change. The reports collect over 12,000 peer-reviewed scientific papers looking at climate’s future impact on environments and society, with the intention of preparing regional leaders to adapt.

THICH NHAT HANH:  ONLY LOVE CAN SAVE US FROM CLIMATE CHANGE

Leading spiritual teacher Thay suggests that our search for fame, wealth, power and sexual gratification provides the perfect refuge for people to hide from the truth about the many challenges facing the world. Worse still, our addiction to material goods and a hectic lifestyle provides only a temporary plaster for gaping emotional and spiritual wounds, which only drives greater loneliness and unhappiness..... http://www.guardian.co.uk/sustainable-business/zen-master-thich-nhat-hanh-love-climate-change

- ▶ As the carbon dioxide in the air hits 400 parts per million for the first time in human history, some are arguing that the best way address climate change is to use the controversial practice of geoengineering — the deliberate altering of the Earth’s ecological and climate systems to counter the effects of global warming. ...

The arguments for and against climate engineering revealing the extent of vested interests linking researchers, venture capitalists and corporations with

Clive Hamilton, professor of public ethics at Charles Sturt University in Canberra, Australia, He’s the author of Earthmasters: The Dawn of the Age of Climate Engineering.

- ▶ There’s virtually no regulation of geoengineering. And when it comes to sulfate aerosol spraying, there’s nothing to prevent a government, any government, or even a corporation or a billionaire with a messiah complex, from launching a program of taking control of the Earth’s weather by installing this kind of solar shield. So the absence of governance, the absence of regulation and the exclusion, particularly of people from poor and vulnerable countries, is a very serious concern….

WE COULD SPRAY CHEAP CHEMICALS IN THE AIR TO SLOW CLIMATE CHANGE.  SHOULD WE? 

THINK. THINK. THINK

BEYOND THIS MYOPIC THOUGHT PROCESS 

Here We Go Again...short term thinking, short term fixes... what about these chemicals raining down on the planet...the impact for people's and environment health? This is not new...experiments have been going on secretly for years.  There is always a profit thrust behind these quick fixes, and easy to trace back. One must think ecologically and holistically for the dilemma we are in eg the rush for #desalination that plays havoc with the toxic discharge destroying ocean ecosystems. The rush to genetically engineer life without the grander repercussions on our natural ecosystems and biodiversity and human DNA.  

First, find eco-friendly alternatives for our problems, e.g. alternative to timber for construction so we don't destroy our forests; Science does not have all the answers...Nature Does If You Will Put Down Your Books and Observe Her.

Geoengineering is the intentional, large-scale technological manipulation of the Earth’s systems, often discussed as a techno-fix for combating climate change. Climate geoengineering technologies can be divided into three broad areas: so-called solar radiation management (reflecting sunlight to space), greenhouse gas removal and sequestration and weather modification.

- ▶ MANY EXPERTS SAY TECHNOLOGY CAN'T FIX CLIMATE CHANGE. First among these proposed geoengineering solutions is solar radiation management, or SRM, which would involve millions of tons of rotten smelling sulphur dioxide (SO2) being pumped into the stratosphere every year to create sun-blocking clouds high above the Earth’s surface.

▶ AGAINST GEOENGINEERING: Co-published with Science for the People.Geoengineering is a risky business. It is so risky, in fact, that it should be banned.

Proponents of geoengineering recognize that it will “create losers and winners” — some places may benefit from the intentional atmospheric changes, but others will suffer. But this is an overly glib euphemism. In some cases, there will be millions or billions of “losers.”
