Netherworld
Jens Malmgren Mar 2019
The Cambrian period had 7000ppm of CO2 in the atmosphere.

That was a time of the perpetual fire.

Even though the solar luminosity at the time was 4% weaker than today, the earth was much hotter due to the free amounts of carbon dioxide.

Slowly chemical weathering and living organisms bound the carbon in the atmosphere so, at the time of the Carboniferous period, it had reached 180ppm.

The earth was much cooler. A wonderful time with 34% oxygen in the air.

Then after this period, flood basalt eruptions, such as the Siberian traps and the Deccan traps released vast amounts of CO2, and this caused the earth to heat up again.

That was an inferno. 90% of all life died.

This followed by slow weathering out of CO2 and subsequent cooling.

When the CO2 levels are in low and balance the earth temperature change due to the Milankovitch cycles. During such period the climate always changes.

We even had ice ages during this period.

Now there is no flood basalt eruption at all. This time it is we humans who released the CO2 in the atmosphere. It took us one hundred years.

Earth will be warm. It will be hot.

Trustworthy?
Jens Malmgren Dec 2018
If you provide me with truth, please also provide me with the evidence.

We live in a time when the truth needs to be checked and checked again.

Trust is a commodity.

When you say this, you speak as if you reduced your own mental capacity to an ape sitting naked on the grass looking up on the sky marveling at the coming and going of the seasons.

Granted that you are somewhat stupid, but you aren't an ape. You heard this phrase from someone, and you have no idea how dangerous that person is. You parroted this phrase over and over again, and I could not give you a sufficient answer at the time.

You argue that climate science cannot predict the future, but at the same time you eat all fruits of the industrial revolution and science.

I have bad news for you.

Climate science cannot only predict the future. It can predict the future with brutally exact precision.

The climate is driven by four factors:

1. Insulation. This is the sun, the earth orbit around the sun, the configuration of the continents, etc.
2. Greenhouse gasses. Water vapor, Carbon Dioxide, and Methane.
3. Particles and aerosols. Pollutions etc.
4. Amplifications. The runaway climate change.

This is it. It is proven. You do not need to sit naked on that grass tortured by the sun. You do not need to look upon the sky marveling of the coming and going of the seasons and feel the smell of the approaching wildfire.

You can stop insinuate that you are an ape because you are no ape. You are a living person, and you have an unnecessary huge carbon footprint. For that, you should be ashamed.

Inform yourself. Learn about the changes ahead. Make use of your intelligence that you actually have. Go to YouTube and view all the videos of Potholer54, especially video five in the playlist "climate change explained, and the myths debunked".

You can be a right winger or leftist. It does not matter. You can be poor or rich. You can be afraid of Islam or terrorists. Brexit can fill you with fear. All that is meaningless. All refugees from Syria and all suffering of humanity up until now is meaningless small compared to the future predicted by science.

Embrace science.

When that is done, then we can talk about the climate again.

Be Alright

You know that song. “I look up from the ground, to see your sad and teary eyes”

And my friend said “I know you love her, but it’s over mate”

It is a sad song. The singer’s girlfriend is cheating. Not with anyone. With a friend of the singer.

This song is played on the radio stations in the Netherlands.

“I know you love her, but it’s over mate”
“It is the feeling of betrayal, that I just can’t seem to shake”

Some stations play it as Jon Cobbe Hume, Dean Lewis, and Grant Loaney wants it. They play it like how someone with grief should speak if his best friend is cheating with the girlfriend.

Some stations have tampered with the song and cut out one word in the second verse.

“It is the feeling of betrayal, that I just can’t seem to shake”

A while back I wrote a poem that I posted on this platform. It was a poem about feelings. It got censored.

So we do not talk about these things? It is part of everyday life that others can just cut out our words for the sake of sanity. Are we not losing sanity when we do just that? Are we not being betrayed when people silence our words?

The maker of this platform sees my teary eyes.
You look away from me.

It'll be alright
It'll be alright
It'll be alright
It'll be alright
It'll be alright
