Geoengineering “solves” carbon problems but…
Geoengineering "solutions" to deliberately reduce the effects of continued greenhouse gas emissions can destabilize global and regional climates - and also the political and legal framework. Among many possible examples: A flee...
Combine climate change with animal-borne diseases, and the l ...
there are the makings of a perfect storm. Certain conditions could come together to cause a major health epidemic or something that affects a significant sector of the agricultural business, or agricultural dependency, e.g. a w...
The seabed is lined with methane hydrate, and if you take th ...
We know in the past there have been great belches of methane, followed by a climate spike. The American coastline has had a lot of extra erosion because of extra agricultural production and there could be a landslide. This woul...
One the European Union should strongly consider is that glob ...
By that I mean everything has an absorption curve. Imagine you have a clear glass of water and you put in a drop of ink and it becomes darker, and you keep doing that until it is completely black and then adding more in does no...
Many researchers now believe that that real advances in genomics will come not from simple X-causes Y correlations but from rich statistical understanding that emerges out of the sequences of millions of genomes. This set will ...
Unexpected environmental change due to nano-tech
Nanosensors designed to detect trace concentrations of biochemicals lead to absorption of nanoparticles into the body and environment, concentrating in water and soil, and eventually linking with natural organisms, causing unkn...
Attacks (by individual) on energy waste become prevalent, including sabotage, naming-and-shaming and various forms of civil disobedience. This becomes a EU-wide movement and is targeting facilities where energy is unnecessarily...
Individual and collective trading of pollution credits
Carbon footprint allowance (including tax) is allocated to individuals and business organisations. This policy results in the poor (and vulnerable) selling their allowance to businesses and those who are better off. Consequentl...
Spirituality is disconnected from religion
There is a massive disengagement of people from established religions, and a movement towards spiritual expression outside religion. This includes spiritual attitudes to issues such as environment protection and climate change,...
