I wonder if Mr. Erlich has ever met Mr. Caldeira, who is a geoengineer in another department at Stanford University. Mr. Caldeira, along with Dr. David Keith, have formulated plans to “save Earth” from global warming by spraying it with nanoparticulate toxic heavy metals day and night. Here you can hear him discussing the reality of this being done: http://www.carolynbaker.net/ OR you can just look up. The nanoparticulates are taken up by the plants making it very difficult for them to grow, not to mention the incendiary characteristics of aluminum powder– look at the drying of the forests and the mega-fires. But don’t as Guy MacPherson about this unless you want to be told that you believe in the “Flying Spaghetti Monster.” God forbid! Never mind that aluminum and barium spikes have been showing up widespread in routine drinking water testing all over the state of California since the 80s– where’d the metals come from all at once?

Mr. Caldeira, along with Dr. David Keith, has formulated plans to “save Earth” from global warming by spraying it with nanoparticulate toxic heavy metals, including aluminum, strontium and barium, day and night. Never mind the fact that the metals reflect in both directions, trapping the heat here and actually accelerating the warming (!).

News flash: There is not one thing that you or anyone else can do about catastrophic climate change. There is not one thing you or anyone else can do about geoengineering. We are on a fast track to human extinction and the withering of our planet. The question is not: What particulates are in the air? But will I live with peace, passion, purpose, joy, and compassion in the time I have left. How will I serve the Earth community and give the gifts I came here to give.
Not sure I’m ready to go so quietly. What I have in mind, as my parting gift, is to EXPOSE whomever wishes to continue attempting to hide what’s really been done. And SHAME ON EVERYONE ELSE who doesn’t attempt this. For GOD’s sake.
Not all of us have resigned ourselves to your apparent death wish. Sheesh.
“The question is not: What particulates are in the air? But will I live with peace, passion, purpose, joy, and compassion in the time I have left. How will I serve the Earth community and give the gifts I came here to give.”
Why on Earth do you insist that everything continue along the path of EITHER/OR? I’d say that line of Hegelian Dialectical “thought” is more than half of the problem.
Speaking of either/or, I don’t think you get my perspective at all. I haven’t “given up” or “resigned.” There is a third option between frantically trying to reverse climate change and rolling over and giving up. Please see:

I’m perfectly happy playing Bach and other music. Which I’ve been PERFECTLY happy doing to “give” back while being paid as a professional.
We’re not all just a bunch stoopid kiddies out here in Commentary Land, and I will CONTINUE TO EXPOSE THOSE WHO WORK AGAINST ANY AND ALL KINDS OF HEALING here, including those who ridicule anyone who brings out the fact of the spraying programs– it WAS a topic at the U.N., in case you and anyone else wasn’t looking– and NO ONE needs people going around saying that if you know the facts of the spraying programs that means that you must believe in the “flying spaghetti monster,” such as Guy MacPherson has said to Dane Wiggington at a geoengineering awareness summit in Chico, CA back in March 2015.
The TRUTH is that I just don’t happen to like being lied to, told that “it doesn’t matter” whether people know about what’s causing a very large part of the destruction, the people doing it, and THOSE WHO SHILL for the Evildoers. Oh, and told that I’m supposed to be hap-hap-HAPPPY about this. Anyone not telling the WHOLE truth, doesn’t wanna be reminded or who just wants to “correct” those of us who haven’t given up in peace and joy is PART OF THE PROBLEM.
I GOT your “perspective” We can fiddle while Rome burns. And do NOTHING about it, as you suggest, yet again. SHEESH.
http://climatechange911.blogspot.com/2014/06/when-surrender-means-not-giving-up-new.html So many words, such little understanding of real action. You go around and around and around and around and around and around and around again, with NO new information and NO practical ANYTHING that people don’t already have. You are speaking to the idiots on the planet who weren’t already possessing an inner life. God luv ya, there’s plenty of THAT here, still. Nah, YOU don’t “get it,” when it comes to understanding that IT IS STILL VERY IMPORTANT TO OUT THE MASSIVE SPRAYING PROGRAMS and all the GOOD RESEARCH BEING HIDDEN that would expose this cosmic crime against all of LIFE.
NOW HERE’S THE TRUTH EVERYONE:

SPREAD THIS FAR AND WIDE. WE’RE NOT ALL OF US DEAD YET.
Erlich is a very well-known MALTHUSIAN philosopher. And too many just like him believe that humans are a “cancer” and need to be exterminated too.
Well, I’d have to agree– starting with the people who share his “philosophy.”
Most of these animals shown died long before now, at the hands of idiot (mainly) White MALE humans who decided it would be fun to prop up their stuffed bodies and hang their decapitated stuffed heads from drawing room walls. And/or wipe out their habitat, or murder them in massive numbers.
THIS COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED. But only if it had been OKAY for us to TELL THE FOTHERMUCKERS IN NO UNCERTAIN TERMS TO CEASE and DESIST. Or otherwise leave this space/time dimension.
GOOD RIDDANCE.
Victor frankel in ‘Man’s Search for Meaning’ presents his perspective from inside concentration camps during WWII. Here the victims face death in a very real way. An inescapable prison where death is an everyday reality. He describes how when people give up and smoke that last cigarette that’s when their eyes glaze over and soon die. The will to live and care and have meaning was what kept some alive.
Now as we contemplate our demise we watch the earth around us slowly collapse with the most innocent getting destroyed at our hands. We hold the steering wheel and stare in denial at the incoming storm of annihilation then shrug it off and drive on eager to make it home so we can stare at screens and escape.
In the case of the concentration camps there was a clearly defined enemy. The nazis were to blame. Also, the general public was to blame for not stopping the nazis before they grew so powerful. People accepted the ‘big lies’ and choose to ignore the reality.
Now we face a very different enemy but in many ways the same one as well.
The true enemy we face is apathy. When truth is advertised as lies and lies are accepted as truth the doors are wide open for nazi-like forces to crowd in and take over.
We were never going to live forever anyway folks this extinction has been approaching and taking hold for years. Just as always now is the only time to embrace and defend truth and love against apathy and denial.
We as a society are living like an alcoholic who won’t recognize the problem.
My personal journey has led me to realize after 9/11 that there is evil forces at work and those forces are actively poisoning the air and the water. We as a people have a responsibility to recognize this truth and combine efforts to STOP it. Otherwise we are not victims but accomplices in the madness!
It’s never too late to do what is right. Even if we die in the process.
Carolyn and Xheesie you are both right. Combine forces. Accept what is, but go down fighting. The limits to growth have been passed, we are beyond the tipping points, corporate nazis rule the world, but for God’s sake, and humanities, and our own personal souls we should stand for justice for all peoples and the Mother Earth! Pray for the revelation of truth at the highest levels of government and industry, and justice to be served…. Sacred Activism.
