In case you haven’t heard, the climate is changing and that, in and of itself, allows charlatans and shysters to devise all sorts of new ways to scam the bejesus out of anyone whose hair might be on fire because there’s too much CO2 in the air.
Biodiversity advocates on Wednesday called on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to reject a new geoengineering project spearheaded by researchers in Massachusetts that one critic said would do “nothing to solve the root causes of the climate crisis and instead puts at risk the oceans’ natural capacity to absorb carbon and their role in sustaining life on Earth.”
Friends of the Earth (FOE) and other groups warned that an experiment called LOC-NESS by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution carries “potentially catastrophic risks” for the Atlantic Ocean, where researchers have proposed dumping more than 60,000 gallons of sodium hydroxide near Cape Cod to test a “carbon dioxide removal approach” called Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement.
The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution’s website states that the experiment would involve the release of “nontoxic, fluorescent Rhodamine WT dye into the ocean from a research ship,” with researchers tracking the dye’s movement over 72 hours in order to determine whether the ocean’s alkalinity could be enhanced. – via childrenshealthdefense.org
What the hell is sodium hydroxide, you might be wondering? Ah, nothing other than lye and caustic soda. And everyone knows that dumping such shit in the ocean is a sure-fire way to test ‘carbon dioxide removal’. I mean, give me a break.
So what if humans breath it and plants need it in order to survive, let’s get rid of CO2…because it’s causing the climate to change. How many times must we say this?
CO2 is essential to plant life and is a key part of the global carbon cycle. Plants take in CO2, break down the CO2 into carbon and oxygen, release the oxygen to the atmosphere, and then retain the carbon to live and grow. When the plant dies or is burned, the carbon recombines with O2 in the air and CO2 is formed again, completing the cycle. – netl.doe.gov
And to keep the climate from changing even more, everyone also knows that lithium is a ‘must have’ in order to save the world from, of course, climate change. I mean, how the planet survived and didn’t have climate change all these millions of years without lithium extraction and use is most perplexing. Besides, we’ve fucked up the ground water with fracking, what’s a little more lithium extraction going to do? Come on, the climate is changing and it’s got to be stopped!
Lithium extraction is typically extremely water-intensive – according to a 2018 report from WIRED magazine, extracting a single ton of lithium requires approximately 500,000 liters of water. In a cruel irony, lithium is often found and extracted in extremely water-stressed areas, such as South America’s so-called ‘lithium triangle,’ which overlaps with the Atacama, the world’s driest desert. What’s more, extraction through brine ponds also poses a potential threat of contaminating existing, preciously scant water reserves. – via zerohedge.com
So, big deal, right? The climate is changing!!!
And in dumbshit country-of-the-month news:
Finland plans to offer preemptive bird flu vaccination as soon as next week to some workers with exposure to animals. They are going to administer these shots before any pandemic, epidemic or public health emergency has even been declared and without any evidence, this has even mutated to infect human beings.
Health authorities said on Tuesday Finland would be the first country in the world to give humans a “vaccine” for bird flu.
“The vaccine will be offered to those aged 18 or over who are at increased risk of contracting avian influenza due to their work or other circumstances,” the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare (THL) said in a statement.
The H5N1 strain of bird flu has killed or caused the culling of hundreds of millions of poultry globally in recent years and has increasingly been spreading to mammals, including cows in the United States and, in some cases, also to humans. But the ruling classes of the world continue to say bird flu is still of low risk to humans, except when they claim it’s a high risk. – via activistpost.com

Tonight’s musical offering:
Dispatches from the Asylum 
bird flu CAUSED the deaths or culling of millions of animals…no it didn’t…bird flu killed not one bird. the government came in and ordered them killed. they ordered their test animal killed as well because the animal doesn’t like a 6 inch rod jammed into its brain pan to test for a disease that doesn’t exist except on paper by a bunch of goons with guns. period end of story.
and they are going to start ocean fertilization? they have been doing it for decades. they put iron filings by the millions in the ocean supposedly to cool it…except it kills everything that breaths in the oceans. all the fish, shell fish. corral reefs, you name it. they kill it in the name of geoengineering.
that is what happens when insane people have power. and other people let them do whatever they want with no exception. no rules for the rulers.
