POST # 159
As I come to the end of another house/pet sit, I have a mixed bag today. As can be seen by the graphic below, it appears that things on the methane front are really beginning to get interesting.
(Hint: The colour red in the graphic is BAD).
However, the industrial juggernaut continues, and with it, so does the increase in methane. Looks like there's no where to run, no where to hide.
Methane levels: Code Red
The color code has changed.
There should be no red or pink on this map if we are planning on surviving. Temperature follows the powerful greenhouse gas methane.
Oceanographer John Church says with an allegory that the oceans are absorbing heat equivalent to 17 Hiroshima bombs a second. The oceans cannot take this indefinitely. The oceans are switching from absorbing heat to producing it . The atmospheric temperatures can be expected to increase.
This isn't in the next thousand years.
This is now and especially in the next four or five years.
For the new people to the methane issue, Dr. James Hansen considers 1250 ppb as the maximum sustainable level of methane in the atmosphere.
As you can see, 1250 ppb on the color scale is coded as yellow and light green.

Moving right along. This past week included the date of March 11th which marks four years since the Fukushima disaster, and every day since that day, approximately 300 tons of radioactive water has continued to pour into the Pacific Ocean. Of course, it's old news now, and if it is out of the news cycle, then everything must be ok right?? RIGHT?? Well, you might want to think twice about eating any tuna from now on.
In the meantime, the crazies in Washington DC, keep pushing for a "winnable" nuclear war against Russia. Well, if that happens, then it really is time to say goodbye. No need to worry about your pension plan. Apparently, the fire storm which would result from such a war would emit so much smoke high up into the atmosphere/stratosphere, that it would remain for years, cooling down the planet to such an extent that no food could grow. I can just imagine some think tank in DC, coming up with the idea that cooling would solve the predicament of climate change. Ah, wait a minute guys, it's going to be rather difficult to keep on keeping on if there is no food. But perhaps that detail gets overlooked in the war planning room. Too many insane people running the show.
If the reader is interested in further research on the nuclear madness, a recent lecture sponsored by the Dr Helen Caldicott Foundation can be found here. http://totalwebcasting.com/view/?id=hcf
Plenty of good speakers, but if you want to cut to the chase, scroll down to the lecture by Dr. Steven Starr, titled, "An Unrecognized Catastrophic Extinction Event Waiting to Happen". Grab some popcorn, sit back and have a listen.

A package arrived this week from my sisters in Canada which included a few black and white photos from way back when. This particular photo was taken in January 1958, just weeks prior to my third birthday. Seems like I have my sisters to blame for teaching me how to read, and I've never stopped. That's why I can continue to dig up information that most people don't want to look at. I like to read. Thanks sisters.

And finally, a short video which I took this morning on my final journey into town today. Tomorrow I leave Albury and head to my next house/pet sit in a place called Salamander Bay, NSW. Tomorrow I will bid farewell to Pippen the dog who has been my faithful companion during my time here, and prepare myself to meet the new pets, two dogs and one cat. Who could ask for more?
Happy trails,
Paul
The Thoughtful Wanderer
PS. Happy birthday Bill
