Will Any Humans Become Post-Carbon?<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

Probably nobody will read this because it is far too long, far too full of horrifying details, and far too\u00a0realistic<\/a>\u00a0for most tastes.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I write it anyway, to fulfill a promise I made.<\/p>\n

Back in 2007 I read the book\u00a0High Noon<\/a>\u00a0by J. F. Rischard (also available in\u00a0German<\/a>). Rischard\u2019s information shattered my Box\u2019s long-standing defenses against the outside world. In a state of shock, two friends and I tracked J. F. Rischard down in Paris and interviewed him for 2 days in 2008. What a kind and intelligent man he is. As a result of Rischard\u2019s intense download I began studying-up on several global situations, in particular methane clathrates and depleted uranium.<\/p>\n

The year 2007 is interesting. According to David Spratt\u2019s September 2013 report, \u201cIs Climate Already Dangerous?\u201d we crossed the planetary Rubicon in 2007 at about 0.76 degrees centigrade of global warming. Maybe I felt it\u201d Maybe you felt it too? At this point, not only had Arctic sea-ice passed its tipping point, but the Greenland Ice Sheet was not far behind. (Reference:www.scribd.com\/doc\/168483927\/Already-Dangerous-1<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Adding to the mounting evidence behind 2007 as the point of no return, Malcolm Light concluded on 22 December 2013, \u201cWe have passed the methane hydrate tipping point and are now accelerating into extinction as the methane hydrate \u2018Clathrate Gun\u2019 has begun firing volleys of methane into the Arctic atmosphere.\u201d (Reference:https:\/\/sites.google.com\/site\/runawayglobalwarming\/the-non-disclosed-extreme-arctic-methane-threat<\/a>)<\/p>\n

According to Light\u2019s analysis, the temperature of Earth\u2019s atmosphere will resemble that of Venus before 2100. Two weeks later, in an essay stressing near-term human extinction, Light concluded: \u201cThe Gulf Stream transport rate started the methane hydrate (clathrate) gun firing in the Arctic in 2007 when its energy\/year exceeded 10 million times the amount of energy\/year necessary to dissociate subsea Arctic methane hydrates.\u201d(Reference: Malcolm Light\u00a0http:\/\/arctic-news.blogspot.com\/2014\/01\/global-warming-and-the-gulf-stream.html<\/a>) (Reference: Malcolm Light\u00a0http:\/\/arctic-news.blogspot.de\/p\/global-extinction-within-one-human.html<\/a>)<\/p>\n
