Hi Maiken
To my opinion the main problem we are confronted seems to be the
widespread stupidity concerning scientific facts. Also politicans and
journalists and even many scientists I would not except from this
definition. What is the reason for this? Our science is devided in many
branches and ofte the horizon of people ends at the border of a
scientific branch. To my opinion we have an enormous amount of academic
grade and good educated people on the globe, much much more than during
the time of Humboldt and Goethe but possibly less with the
interdisciplinary experience of these Scientists or of James Lovelock, a
scientist of the modern area
Hence this is the main problem because the climate problem is in reality
a multidisciplinary problem: if we want to restore the climate in a
sustainable manner as to gain back the climate situation of the
pre-industrial time we also must restore in parallel also the ecosystems
of the whole Earth. According to the complex cross-linked net between
land-based ecosystems, ocean ecosystems, sediment ecosystems, weathering
processes. It needs a deep understanding of the multiple links between
carbon circle, bio-weathering processes, geochemistry. Our Climate
depends on all these many mutual influences and hence is under control
of all these influences. In principle our habitat is a huge
ecosystem-controlled organism. This picture has been described first by
James Lovelock with the term "Gaia Principle". The metabolism of this
organism has been permanent developed from the begin of life in the
Hadean until now. The mass of living mass has increased since these
times to a maximum in the preindustrial presence. During the last 250
years mankind reduced the living mass in the oceans by more than 90% and
also reduced also the living mass on the continents by deforestation
probably by more than 50%. Additional the combustion of fossil fuels for
energy, steel, aluminium, copper, cement production and transport
produced lots of greenhouse substances as like as CO2, methane, black soot.
We need to build up a new branch transcending science which tries to
decipher the complex global life-controlled metabolism as to use the
right tools for the short-term and long-term restoration of this
metabolism. It seems necessary to start with both: short- and long-terme
restoration measures. There are some tools as short term measures in the
engineers toolbox which might find use in said restoration work. Some
others of the advertised solutions might worsen the problem.
But to do the necessary research, lab and field-testing needs money.
Governments, politicans and even the Green have ignored the problem.
Since more than 20 years we developed models and measures for this
purpose but got only little help by private sponsors not any help from
government or parties. To my opinion the politicans will ask and pay for
solutions not before the water level will have risen enough until the
streets of coastal towns become flooded.
As you see, education and information of the broad level of the
population, journalists, politicans and even of the scientific community
is an necessity. Any sticking of yourself and your friends on the
streets will not solve the problem

Hi dear all,
may I ask you... since all the writing and talking didn't help and we
are now close to the irreversible tipping points we know about for
years...what's your opinion about Science Rebellion and the Last
Generation? Do you consider to also become part of this movement (as I
am)?
It's horrible that we are so far into this catastrophe that even I
blockade streets.
Best,
Maiken

Thank you Renaud! I hope you don't mind my distributing this more
broadly as I think it's quite important!
Best,
