Stono Rebellion

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA In Book Four, the Stone Rebellion is mentioned. The guys were found near the Stono River. Phebe had one of her visions/hallucinations (depends on your perspective – she thinks they are hallucinations) of Syanna Lynn telling her the guys were at the rebel river. ‘Rebel’ was mistakenly taken as the nickname for Confederates. But this was an earlier rebel. Wikipedia has a…

Fossil fuel companies are amoral, greedy organizations which have caused untold damage to our planet.  They continue their destructive ways in order to make even more money at the expense of the world’s people and its environment.  

Tax these low-life scumbags out of existence.  Nationalize the fossil fuel industry now.

Could #Earth be Terraformed?

The answer is yes, with cooperation of the natives. What you want to do is first lower the #oxygencontent, which is poison to them. You convince the natives that burning #carbonbasedfuels is the way to go, and deplete the oxygen in the atmosphere. The next move is a lot trickier, and the natives might catch on: You convince them to also convert to a#hydrogeneconomy, and sequester not the #CO2, (or the #H2) but the oxygen during the #electrolysis. You vent the #hydrogen into the #atmosphere. Earth would have a lower mass, and not able to hold on to the hydrogen for more than a few million years, but this planet would be a steppingstone anyway. You want the #nitrogen, so you make sure that this gas stays where it is by penalties to#fertilizermanufacturers. You regulate nitrogen fixing plants, and create a codex to prevent further manipulation of this gas.

What to do with the population? Well, if there were an #ExtinctionLevelEvent, it’s an act of God, isn’t it? The #aliens are not to blame. All the animals will not survive the #terraforming anyway, so they’re expendable as well. The native plants wouldn’t survive a hydrogen nitrogen atmosphere, so they’re also expendable. It would be a total #extinction of all#aerobiclife to terraform earth. And on top of that it would be temporary.

The aliens would be looking at planets on the conditions of their raw materials. #Jupiter is no good, as there is little or no nitrogen there, but plenty of hydrogen. It’s the same with the outer planets.#Mars wouldn’t have enough mass for the hydrogen, but enough for the nitrogen. It might be doable.#Venus is out of the question, along with #Mercury. With Venus, the atmosphere would be too difficult to reform.

Earth is the low-hanging fruit. And it would have a population that would do all your work for you. All you have to do is promise them everything, and leave them there when the extinction level event happens.

Extinction.

Cosmic radiation. Laughable. It was the stuff of comic books. Of course by the time the phrase started being used seriously, everyone knew ‘something’ strange was going on. And yes, like an old b-movie it all began with a meteor shower. No one was really sure how long higher authorities had known it was coming, but news reports began around two weeks beforehand. Small ones at first. That final ‘human interest’ piece to pep viewers up a little. After a week, amateur groups (hell, anyone with a decent telescope) could see the shower’s approach and started raising concerns about its size. And just like an old b-movie, they were shouted down. Condemned as crackpots and conspiracy theorists. And of course, the actual conspiracy theorists loved this. Because ultimately, why worry? Our planet takes small meteor strikes all the time and the last one to have had any significant impact occurred millions of years ago. There were always larger problems closer to home. It began in the middle of the August night, around 3am UK time. We slept as usual. Most of the asteroids passed the earth uneventfully, avoiding its atmosphere completely. The outliers however, were caught in our gravity well and made their presence known. The bombardment - there is really no other term for it - lasted for just over 60 hours. The first strikes occurred out in the Pacific, causing relatively minimal damage. They seemed to be small or deteriorated enough that the much-mooted tidal disruptions didn’t occur. This changed as the planet turned of course. Come the morning, the rest of the world was starting to wake up. Or to be woken up. All in all, there were 38 confirmed impacts. We didn’t know it at the time but the first casualties had been the twenty crew members on board the space station, as it was clipped by a meteor and ended up re-entering the atmosphere. People were on the lookout for falling objects, but they weren’t stopping to examine each one. By the time that was reported, it was fighting for column inches with the half of Ghent which had been destroyed in the first land-strike. We’re not programmed to deal with an accidental catastrophe of that magnitude, especially when everyone on the planet thinks they might be next. And for the people in Belgrade, Osaka and Calgary, they were. Hundreds of thousands dead. The world stopped breathing. Eventually the danger passed. And our very best started planning to help, to counsel, to rebuild. Then after two weeks or so, it was noticed that the plants were dying. 'Cosmic radiation'. Actually no, plants continued to exist, they just no longer flowered, pollinated or propagated. No new plants were growing. At all. Anything taking hold before the meteor strikes continued to thrive, but any other seeds lay dormant, inert. And no new plants then meant no new crops to eat. Which also meant nothing to feed the livestock. But by the time this chain of events was forging its panic-stricken links around the globe, we suddenly had another problem. There was to be no new livestock, either. Whatever force that had instantly snuffed out the world’s farming cycle had seemingly done the same to the lifeforms which were dependent on it. Namely, all of them. Animals continued to be born/hatched if they were in utero before the meteors came. But no new ones were being conceived - anywhere - despite the best efforts of farmers and the enthusiasm of their herds. So it came as no real surprise when the authorities reluctantly, if belatedly, admitted to the world’s population what they suspected already: that humans were part of this sudden mass sterilisation, too. Infants in the womb continued to grow and develop, but this 'would be it'. Nine months after the meteor strikes that shook the world, no more children would be born. Naturally, pharmaceutical companies raced to find a solution, a fix, a shortcut. But all to no avail. Even the bacteria in their laboratories had stopped reproducing; what hope for jumpstarting a planet? Absolute panic fought with total despondency for domination of the global mood. There was no clear winner. Within a week rioting became the norm as authority either dissipated completely or just joined-in. Existential shell-shock and impending starvation caused society to disintegrate almost immediately. The wealthy holed themselves away, rumour had it that a handful even made it off-world. Everyone else hardly cared as they knew it would make no difference. We are all just waiting to die. In theory, the earth has until the last children that were born, either die of old age or find a solution. In practice it will be far less than that, since there is nothing for them to grow and eat. It’s now been a year since The Strikes, and current thinking predicts our planet will be lifeless within ten. Although this is near instantaneous in terms of cosmological time, it feels longer when one’s own end is sealed but not yet delivered. I’m not sure why I’m documenting all this. I’m almost certain that it’s been done elsewhere and far more thoroughly. I’m also aware that none of it really matters. The light will be out soon enough and there will be no one to read these words, much less care. Future extra-terrestrial archaeologists are unlikely to be sifting through my pages above any others. Other than the curious hives humanity has terraformed for itself while slowly destroying the world which houses them, there will be little here of any interest. Because ultimately, we achieved little. After the decades of warnings, we didn’t kill ourselves after all. It was just bad luck. Why do we persist? Instinct, I imagine. This species’ hardwired urge to leave something behind. Some trace of our individual existence. Anything to prove that we were here once. That we were more than animals. We weren’t - aren’t - of course. But still the need remains. For this short while, at any rate.

Over 100 Wildfires have ravaged the Arctic since June

The world has crossed the tipping point and Mother Earth is sending a clear message.

#TakeAction because #ClimateChange is an #ExtinctionLevelEvent

Earther added, "the boreal forest that rings the northern portion of the world is witnessing a period of wildfire activity unseen in at least 10,000 years, and this summer is another worrying datapoint.", Common Dreams

Summer and wildfires have become increasingly synonymous for many parts of Canada, but this year's fire focus has shifted further north. 2019 has already seen an unprecedented number of fires north of the Arctic Circle, both in North America and Eurasia in the wake of what was, globally, the hottest June on record, and what will likely be the hottest July.

Through June and the first half of July, the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS), part of the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts, has tracked more than 100 major fires north of the Arctic Circle.

— The Weather Network

The June “fires emitted 50 megatonnes of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, which is equivalent to Sweden’s total annual emissions.”, Pen News  World Meteorological Organisation (WMO)

A visibly exhausted and starving polar bear wandered into a major Russian industrial city on Tuesday, hundreds of kilometres away from its natural habitat, as widespread wildfires rage across the Arctic Circle.

What’s an extinction-level event?

Geek Out Time! Quote from https://www.crystalinks.com/ELE.html “An extinction event (also known as a mass extinction or biotic crisis) is a widespread and rapid decrease in the amount of life on earth. Such an event is identified by a sharp change in the diversity and abundance of macroscopic life. It occurs when the rate of extinction increases with respect to the rate of speciation. Because…

[pennsyltuckyheathen]

In addition to this long overdue alarming announcement, it turns out that most Americans have no idea of the destruction and devastation that’s coming soon.  Mass media (no longer independent and now owned by greedy corporations) in the United States only covers Climate Change when there’s a disaster, and Republicans deny facts and truth, intentionally deceiving Americans to protect the fossil fuel crime syndicate that owns them.  

We’ve blasted past the 1.5 C or 2.7 F (1 degree celsius = 1.8 degrees farenheit) agreed to by most of the world in December 2015 at the Paris Accord.  At this point, it’s almost certain we’ll barrel through 2.0 c on the way 3.0 c.  And scientists are projecting the Earth will hit 2.0 c in 2035.
