While global education worries children that people are destroying the Earth, some things need to be pointed out:
As a planet, the Earth is a very active place. It has a molten core of iron and nickel surrounding a solid core that is cooling in geological time from the center out. The enormous forces of gravity that hold the rest of the Earth’s layers together produce some energy converted to heat. In addition, decaying radioactive isotopes of uranium, thorium and potassium that were consolidated into the Earth’s composition at its formation have kept the Earth’s center white hot for billions of years.
Humanity dwells on a perilously superficial layer at the very outer surface called a tectonic plate. Considering the colossal inner fury that is contained by serendipitous gravitational and rotational balance aided by a large stabilizing moon, it’s a bonified miracle that modern humans ever evolved. There are super volcanos around the Earth containing enough magma to spew sun-blocking material into the stratosphere to turn the Earth into a snowball wiping out humanity overnight.
Planet Earth does not exist in a protected bubble; it’s a tiny speck in a timeless void we call the universe. Our planet is in a slave-locked trajectory around a massive furnace called the Sun. Our distance from this crackling cauldron of energy makes life possible but not guaranteed.
The sun emits solar flares and mass ejecta that could easily strip off our atmosphere along with a magnetosphere that shields us from lethal solar winds. In a worst-case scenario our poorly maintained, electrical grid is vulnerable to a solar-burnout shutdown that would throw humanity back to the 1700’s.
Iridium found below the Earth’s K-T boundary suggests that collisions with heavenly bodies eradicated the dinosaurs and 75 percent of all life 66 million years ago. No technology exists to deflect incoming space rocks. Good humans do not live in an assured paradise being destroyed by bad humans needing to be taxed.
The only useful thing humanity can do at this point is to force an update of the Earth’s electrical grids to at least preserve some of the modern population from cosmic calamity. Taxing the masses to control behavior is as ridiculous as sacrificing animals to appease the gods.
Climate change ideology is just a fearful illusion that justifies oppression of the people by elites that see an opportunity to enrich and empower themselves.
