My Hypotheses Is Mother Nature Rules This Planets Climate With Her Plankton Blooms

Her ocean pastures where the phytoplankton blooms consume and use more energy every day cooling this planet than humanity uses to warm it, or they used to

We’ve messed with those blooms and as a result, our climate is growing ever warmer. Some people keep trying to tell me that proves we puny humans are really the main act here on this blue planet.

It just ain’t so Mother Nature is the one and only,
She’s Got The Power

Catch his act this week in Moscow

This is a letter I sent to a friend today who was asking me some questions that in turn had been asked of him. My friend is a hardcore rock and roll musician. I was corrected in saying he’s an older rock star, reminded a better term is wizened. Sort of Keith Richard only 25 years younger, ok ok maybe more like Mick Jagger.  Here’s what I wrote to him.

Dear Alex,

I am surprised that our friend ‘Mr. X’ is the source of those questions. With the respect I have for him I will temper my words and revise what I said using the word ‘bullshit’, and respectfully say he may be a bit misinformed. I am glad he is so interested in this vital work of restoring ocean pastures and wants to make sure our story can’t be busted. God bless him.

Where he suggests that the shutting down of climate and ocean pasture productivity is 80% due to currents slowing, melting ice, and thermal stratification, and only 20% due to loss of dust, we differ. He’s got the numbers reversed, 80% of the problem can be solved by restoring the ocean pastures. Here’s a link to new science that shows a 70% loss of plankton in the NE Atlantic.

From his references provided, I think he is toeing the line and kowtowing to the ‘political science’, not following the ‘true science’ of climate and ocean change.  In a good number of climate science journals, the party line is that the ocean surface temperature and thus currents etc. etc. are under temperature control. Yes that is true in part, but this goes off the rails when it comes from those who want the dogma to be ‘climate’ controls the ocean when it is the other way around, the ocean controls the climate. It’s the slow down of life in the living ocean that is resulting in the observed effects.

Follow the money

Mother Nature has lilliputian heat pumping plankton

Mother Nature engineered her planet cooling plankton air-conditioners. Powered by the sun and photosynthesis they are real rock stars when they get their magic rock dust. – Click to read more

The ‘climate industrial complex’ is a big machine that demands obedience, their dogma has been crafted to promote the human-ego-centric idea that we rule Nature. Thus ‘climate change’ comes in two flavours, for better or worse. Better, as in wildly expensive engineering fantasies are the only solutions and should take the Lion’s share of trillions in ‘climate change money’.

Or for worse, Nature especially the ocean is at most a passive inanimate nothing that can’t possibly offer the potency to solve our, anthropogenic, climate change, so go ahead do those cutesy nature-based eco-restoration chores but don’t think they will do enough.

Mr. X is right, humanity cannot directly engineer and construct ocean current and upwelling machines to change and save the oceans. But that’s not the way Nature would have it anyway. Nature is the ‘mother of all engineers’ her plankton in their various roles and incarnations harvest and use more energy every day than all the fossil fuels burned by humanity. She’s got the power, not us.

Maybe we can write a song — She’s Got The Power….

We are working to restore Nature, we start by restoring her power, we plug her in and give her a Stratocaster electric guitar and a big-time amplifier, and oh yeah a hyperactive drummer with a full drum kit, a few wicked sidemen, and a some glamorous ‘do wah’ girls known as the ‘Minerals’. All we have to do to help her get her groove back and let her ROCK, is to give her back her magic rock dust. That rock dust is the only way to restore her lost photosynthesis, her power, that’s she collects if her ocean pastures. Climate engineers never want to admit Mother Nature is more potent than they are.

Restored ocean pastures offer the Holy Trinity on behalf of restoring this blue planet to its Goldilock’s Zone

  1. Replenished and renewed phytoplankton photosynthesis will consume tens of billions of tonnes of CO2 each year, removing that amount of greenhouse gas from heating our blue planet.
    .
  2. Healthy ocean pastures will again become the largest source of marine cloud forming aerosols, creating reflective albedo that is equivalent to billions of tonnes of CO2e radiative warming. Robust ocean phytoplankton pastures add much more albedo to the global equation.
    .
  3. The restored plankton cooling pump will directly cool the ocean surface. That means less radiative heat shining into space and being interrupted by the greenhouse gas blanket. This cooling pump also breaks up the surface thermal stratification, present-day thermal stratification is disrupting major currents to say nothing of the deadly effects on ocean life. In the right place at the right time strategically place plankton cooling pumps the size of many ocean pastures can stop a hurricane in its tracks.

Yes, there are some Rock songs on behalf of Mother Nature and her ocean… here’s one I wrote a few years back performed by my co-writers and musician friends. There’s a whole show to watch, follow this link.
