Subject: Geoengineering the Earth with Trees
Forget Climate Change, We Must Prepare for a Catastrophic Climate Breakdown - George Monbiot, The Guardianhttp://www.scidev.net/global/climate-change/news/record-temperatures-set-to-reach-tropics-first.html
- The world could reach record-breaking average temperatures by 2047
- Tropical species may be especially at risk as they are used to stable climates
To Fix Climate Change, Scientists Turn To Hacking The Earthby NPR StaffOctober 20, 2013AP Photo/Courtesy of NASAIf Earth overheats, can it be artificially cooled? Should the effort begin now? Who would decide? The very idea of "geoengineering," and the unknown risks of tweaking our climate, leaves many scientists with more questions than answers.In the summer of 2012, a small group of the Haida people, a native community in Canada, had a problem. The salmon they rely on were disappearing. So the Haida took matters into their own hands.They partnered with an American businessman, drew up plans and then took a boat full of iron dust into the waters off their home island and put the dust in the ocean.When they spread the iron dust, it created a big algae bloom. They hoped the algae would soak up carbon dioxide and bring back the fish.The reaction to the experiment was immediate and negative…. the "world's first rogue geoengineering project".While it scared a lot of people and angered a lot of scientists, this event could be a sign of what's to come. Because some very mainstream scientists are saying that the climate change situation is so bad that saving life as we know it might require something radical: like shooting chemicals into the stratosphere to protect earth from the sun. In essence, these scientists are talking about hacking the climate.Geoengineering 101People get scared because a lot of these plans sound like mad scientist schemes. Ocean fertilization is just one of a wide array of climate-engineering techniques out there….One technique is to suck the carbon dioxide out from the atmosphere and put it somewhere else."You might do that by planting lots of trees or setting up machines that draw down CO2 and store it somewhere, or generating ocean fertilization where you add iron to the ocean and that generates phytoplankton, which locks up carbon dioxide…. The whole point is that you're trying to take CO2 out of the atmosphere and put it somewhere else”…. http://www.npr.org/2013/10/20/238548240/turning-to-scientists-to-engineer-a-cooler-climateThis Gives Me HopeCathryn Wellner's search for 1001 reasons to be optimisticOctober 1, 2013David Milarch speaking at TEDxSanJoseCA - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGMJT9H3AokIn his jeans and rumpled shirt, his grizzled face and generous form, David Milarch does not look like a man out to save the world, but he is. His mission began with an out-of-body experience.Milarch’s family has been farming trees for over a hundred years. About 20 years ago the trees they grew for cities and nurseries began dying because of declining air quality. Milarch told National Public Radio they decided they needed trees that could handle increased temperatures and increased toxins. So he went in search of the world’s oldest trees, with the idea of cloning them….In his TEDxSanJoseCA talk, Milarch spoke passionately of humanity’s short-sightedness in cutting down most of the largest trees on earth before we had even studied them. He shook his head at the damage we have done to the planet.But instead of merely despairing, Milarch set to work. In spite of constant hard times, hard work, setbacks and skeptical scientists, Milarch never wavered from his mission. In 1996 he and his son co-founded the Champion Tree Project to clone and propagate the “Old Forest Giants”. The initiative foundered in 2004, but in 2008 Leslie Lee partnered with the Milarchs to launch the Archangel Ancient Tree Archive.Their work has never been easy, never on firm financial ground. They have never stopped cloning and propagating and planting, never stopped fighting climate change and environmental degradation with their weapon of choice, trees.That gives me hope.09/19/2013 - http://www.whitepinepress.org/feature-columns/nicole-wildman/reviving-giants-archangel.html
<!--[if !vml]--><!--[endif]-->It’s a radical idea in the fight against climate change: reforest the earth with the biggest trees known to man—redwoods and sequoias. But that’s exactly what Archangel Ancient Tree Archive aims to do. Run by father and sons team David Milarch, Jared Milarch and Jake Milarch, with help from business partner Terry Mock, Archangel Ancient Tree Archive’s mission is to clone “champion trees,” the biggest specimens of a species. That includes redwoods and sequoias, which the group sees as our best hope for saving the Earth….
