Albedo 0.39 The forbidden fruit we cant ignore
The planet has glaciation
cycles, we extrapolated the Fire and Ice Scenario in
our Frost show and a precession
of equinoxes in our Hair piece with the dawning of the Age of
Aquarius. We did some training videos on the
universal standard
of living with a diminished footprint, giving a chance at a peaceful transition
to Humanity’s need for commonality
recognition.
Global Dimming Horizon producer David Sington on why predictions about the
Earth's climate will need to be re-examined. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sn/tvradio/programmes/horizon/dimming_prog_summary.shtml
Twelve-month long drop in
world temperatures wipes out a century
of warming, all in one year's time. For all four sources, it's the single
fastest temperature change ever recorded, either up or down. http://tinyurl.com/3b6zje
Is Global Warming Past the Point of No Return?
We are in danger of
passing an extremely dangerous tipping point, with the frightening discovery of
massive deposits of sub-sea methane in the Arctic. 350ppm is the most important number on the planet….

Sea ice reflects up to 80 per cent of sunlight hitting it but this "albedo
effect" is mostly lost when the sea is uncovered. "We've exposed all
this dark ocean to the sun's heat so that the overall heat content increases,"
he explained. http://www.commondreams.org/headlines05/0916-09.htm
This is a Moral Issue
The British fueling their
trains with Egyptian Mummies in the eighteen hundreds, is on the same audacity
level as burning Coal to kill the planet.
What Climate change is all about. The
original aboriginal, space mother Gaia, is experiencing a span of altered
states due to some anthropomorphic
induced aberrations. The Solar Budget is how things work around
here and it has been Gored.
The fossil fat from coal and oil from dead plants status quo
is attempting to fight mother nature in our name _ less than five percent
of the planet's population responsible for it's demise. We have a narrow window
of survival as a species. Many species we can rely on, as the canary in the
mine, have already perished or are seriously degraded. GAIA'S ALBEDO 0.39 the
one constant we can not mess with because climate change results _ the
forbidden fruit is a metaphor for the violation of the knowledge base. The
cosmic sense behind living in the solar budget http://www.igc.org/raenergy/Threshold.html
GAIA'S ALBEDO 0.39
Contrary to some popular beliefs, the Planet operates on the energy from the
sun _ 127.7 Watts 300 Btu Per Square Foot which is the solar constant. This
energy is fixed at the rate at which sunlight is reflected away from the
planet. This reflection is called Albedo and the Albedo of Gaia is 0.39.
as any Vangelis fan
should know.
The planet is designed to operate efficiently with sixty one percent of the
available sunlight and reflects 39 % (.39) back out to space. This delicate
balance is regulated and affected by what is floating around in the atmosphere
such as clouds, soot etc. , but also from releasing sequestered CO2 from fossil
fuel combustion etc. giving us less time to make the transition back to the Glaciation
mode.
Gasses put into the atmosphere by Forest fires (Proscribed
fires), volcanoes etc. and other natural occurrences are part of the Albedo
regulation process of the planet along with the systematic
burial of dead plants and distant relatives to regulate
CO2. On the other hand exhuming all that stored CO2 and fossil fat
for sudden oxidation is an insult to the whole planet and not much higher
on the morality scale than the British using Egyptian Mummies to heat their
homes and fire the boilers of their trains at the turn of the century.
Almost everything creates a ripple effect that can disrupt the Albedo balance,
even wood burning for cooking creates micro-climate changes not just from
pollution but cutting the trees down in hillside areas like the Himalayas
causes soil destabilization and floods. And most agree that destroying
large quantities of living vegetation like half the forests on
Earth and the rain forests as you read, compromises the overall CO2 Sink
(absorbing or sequestering
surplus CO2).
But perhaps switching back to Solar Energy strategies
would soften the insult along with sacrificing our distant
ancestors in more benign altered states such as Albedo friendly non
biodegradable building materials. In other words why release the
Albedo sensitive CO2 of these stored prehistoric calories(fossil
fat) to heat the house and run the car, when a year or two's supply of
these former carbon based units can become non-biodegradable
building materials to actually build the house and car. This in turn can put a
little Jurassic park into every house and car with 'bottled water and
sunshine'(Hydrogen) providing the utilities. Welcome to the Solar
Hydrogen Economy.
We began in the fifties in our Folksay days to recognize
that some Design science was in order, to help us operate within the
.39 Albedo range _ the Solar Budget.
As Robert Frost said "We'll be all right if nothing goes wrong with
the lighting!" Of course as artists we saw the basic 'what can
you do for your planet’ strategies as sustainability, anti-fascism (Freewill
thing) and pollution control etc. and we played our trade (multi-media) to get
people to see the light(pun intended). Our Man On the Moon script (before
Sputnik) carried over to researching the nuts and bolts of the Hydrogen Economy
with our treadmill TIME. This is a strategy to ease the tensions in a world
that inhibits peace.
Early on we began with direct democracy (getting out the vote) through song with Woody's "We
won't study war no more" to cleanse ourselves spiritually (anti fascism)
as well as the air, to "This land is Your land, This land is my
land, This land is made for you and me" as the global village planetary
anthem-referenda, as a new twist in citizen advice and consent, to Hair's
"Let the Sun shine in" heralding the dawning of a sun powered
age of Aquarius etc.. We also combined theater, TV and film along
with concerts and road shows as part of our attitude adjustment synergy. (see
worksheet-bio). We did a film called Abraham and Isaac a Command
Performance to celebrate the enLIGHTenment _don’t let the light go out. The
beginning of a reality tabloid
First the movie,
then the real life, all the worlds a stage sequel is now casting. In the early
seventies we formed the 'Ra
Energy Fdn. To investigate the life support equation by putting together an
unusual cast of artists teamed with rocket scientists rescued from the
space program which was being politically scuttled along with the
Hydrogen Economy.
This forty year living movie depicting artists and scientists Tweaking the
envelope is presented as our think tank report-interactive script detailing our
down to "Earth" premise _ How to kickstart a compromised planet with
faulty lighting or if we procrastinate much longer "How to kickstart
a dead planet" where the lights went out. .

Some say the world will
end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of
desire
I hold with those who
favor fire.
But if it had to perish
twice,
I think I know enough of
hate
To say that for
destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.
-- Robert Frost
The nuts and bolts begin
with reverse role fairness morphing into commonality reformation. Does Humanity
have a family name? http://raenergy.igc.org/index2.html

Ps. At the dedication of the Frost Memorial in San Francisco in 1978 Will Geer
left this message and quoted Robert Frost as we did in our shows "An
Evenings' Frost" and our "Americana Bus Tour" that we
toured in the sixties and seventies.
"We can no longer live on coal and oil from dead plants"
Our play seems out for an almost infinite run.
Don't mind a little thing
like the actors fighting.
The only thing I worry
about is the sun.
We'll be all right if
nothing goes wrong with the lighting!

There just isnt any way of getting around it.
Within the Gandhi piece is mentioned a lecture called 'The Hydrogen Economy
Stupid' which gives some of the technical details and where we accumulate the
funding for the global village by not rebuilding the amenity infrastructure.

Some other lectures leading to solutions

Franklin Roosevelt said that the domination of our nation by large corporations
is the definition of fascism. http://www.rense.com/general63/ssi.htm
-Labor is prior to, and independent of, capital. Capital is only the fruit of
labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is
the superior of capital, and deserves much of higher consideration. -Abraham
Lincoln
Under the placid surface [of the economy], there are disturbing trends: huge
imbalances, disequilibria, risks -- call them what you will. Altogether the
circumstances seem to me as dangerous and intractable as any I can remember,
and I can remember quite a lot. Paul Volcker, Former US Federal Reserve Bank
Chairman April 10, 2005.
"Should any political party attempt to abolish social security,
unemployment insurance, and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would
not hear of that party again in our political history. There is a tiny splinter
group, of course, that believes that you can do these things. Among them are a
few Texas oil millionaires, and an occasional politician or businessman from other
areas. Their number is negligible, and they are stupid."
-- President Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1952
"The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in
moral philosophy: that is the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness."
-- John Kenneth Galbraith
"Fascism should more appropriately be called CORPORATISM because it is a
merger of state and corporate power." -- Benito Mussolini (from
Encyclopedia Italiana, Giovanni Gentile, editor).

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the
world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has. - - Margaret Mead
Let us experiment with laws and customs, with money systems and governments,
until we chart the one true course - until we find the majesty of our proper
orbit as the planets above have found theirs& And then at last we shall
move all together in the harmony of our sphere under the great impulse of a
single creation - one unity, one system, one design. Roger Bacon
