OUR DEEDS OUR WORRIES

Your climate rebellion starts now with drums, drones, and deeds - You can ditch the old climate panic and start engineering the future with controversial science and radical new markets with OUR DEEDS OUR WORRIES. Could we make the clouds rain instead of arguing about carbon taxes? Are we too powerful to just reduce emissions?

Iliola tells us: Our planet is dying. This is solely due to our greedy deeds, in terms of various industrial activities, nuclear activities and unfriendly environmental sanitation practices.

My candid advice goes to the industrialized countries. They should reduce their nuclear activities. Never rely on peanuts you give as carbon credits for developing countries. It's our joint responsibility to reclaim the earth.

Thank you

Barry's Response - Yes, Iyiola, countries that have been industrialized for a long time share a good part of the responsibility. Developing nations have their part to play too they can (and probably will) use the more efficient options chosen by their predecessors through trial and error. Thank you for your thoughts.

We know, for the most part, that the industrial revolution started changes to our planet that continue to shape its condition today. It changed our lifestyles and our expectations, and those psychological effects have only increased over the approximately two centuries since the start.

First, the basic needs of humankind were met, then people began to demand better things and suppliers rose to the challenge. We wanted more, cheaper and faster. They complied.

Not only that, now we had more and more people to contend with. After the population grew at an average rate of around 0.1% per year for centuries, we now had an explosion during and after the revolution. Then it jumped to something more like 0.5% for much of the 1800's and over 1% in the 1900's.

Where can it go from here? Not too much further, many think, given that the earth is already straining under the current load.

Guilt's a bummer, Science's the best

Hey! You clicked on OUR DEEDS OUR WORRIES because you're tired of all the noise. The conversation started off with a bang, pointing fingers at "greedy deeds" and "industrial activities." And yeah, the original speaker is right: the Industrial Revolution changed everything. Suppliers delivered more, cheaper, faster. As a result of the explosion of production and population dynamics since the 1800s, the atmosphere is now dealing with more than it signed up for.

It's so last century to dwell on guilt. Rather than debate blame, I'm here to celebrate the awesome, defiant power of human invention that caused the problem in the first place.

Playing God with the Clouds: The Unstoppable Deed

⛈️ Why aren't we celebrating the wildest deed of all if our "deeds" are the problem? We learned how to manipulate the sky!

Did you hear about the Weather Modification Information Act? We've been seeding clouds since the 1940s! In real meteorology, scientists use substances like silver iodide, which acts as an ice nucleus, to force clouds to release rain or snow.

The mainstream discourse limits the solution to reducing emissions (a critical but slow step). Geoengineering research needs to be embraced in a massive, global effort. We can add aerosols to the atmosphere from industry (a bad thing), we can strategically and ethically add nuclei to manage regional water scarcity (a good thing).

• Current debates often shut down ideas outside the accepted framework. The scientific data on cloud seeding effectiveness (studies show 10-15% increases in precipitation) demands radical solutions. These techniques should be explored, not feared. It's not ignoring science; it's demanding more!

The Skeptic's Valid Point and the Steward's Heart in Water Wars

🌊 The skeptical arguments on the aquatic environment are often about scale: the ocean is colossal and self-regulating, and its natural variability (driven by major cycles like El Niño-Southern Oscillation and AMOC) dwarfs human activity in many ways. Rather than just accepting correlation, they should demand proof that local pollution drives global oceanic trends.

OUR DEEDS OUR WORRIES means we honor our responsibility to the ecosystem right in front of us, rooted in of stewardship instead of doom.

• We don't need catastrophic global warminghttps://www.stuffintheair.com/FactAboutGlobalWarming.html models to agree that dumping toxic hazardous waste or microplastics into our rivers is stupid. It's a profound betrayal of creation. It doesn't matter if you're left-leaning (protecting the commons) or right-leaning (protecting property value): clean water is a non-negotiable.

Open-Source Air Market: A Revolutionary Deed

💡 Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) is mentioned in this article. Regulation is great, but it's slow. It's time to revolutionize the whole thing.

We don't just wait for air quality consulting firms to help industry comply, and with this invention, we make being clean the cheapest.

• Atmospheric Emissions Ledger (AEL): The Transparency Revolution. Using advanced spectroscopy, every major industrial source must measure its emissions (E) in real-time. Data is instantly published to a universal, tamper-proof ledger.
• This isn't a "carbon tax" (a worry); it's a Data Marketplace. Any company or citizen can access this data and calculate the true environmental cost. In exchange for drastically reducing emissions below the compliance floor, companies get a verified "Clean Data Credit" that's more valuable than a "carbon credit" issued by the state. Because opacity is destroyed and efficiency is rewarded, this system forces constant innovation — a race to the bottom in pollution. It appeals to the right's free-market efficiency principles and the left's radical transparency demands.

Inventing OUR DEEDS OUR WORRIES is hard. Let's stop whining about the Industrial Revolution and start designing the solutions for the Information Revolution. We can only reclaim the earth this way.

🤩 Our DEEDS OUR WORRIES is a challenge to stop feeling guilty and start inventing the future-from making the clouds rain with silver iodide to using radical data transparency. Is Cloud Seeding a smart, powerful "deed," or is it too risky? Could we ditch complicated regulations for a transparent Atmospheric Emissions Ledger? Let's let the intellectual sparks fly in the comments!
