Fwd: Living Earth Humans: so smart, and so dumb

[Svet Zabelin]

Михаил, вот статья, содержание которой - водопад в поддержку декарбонизации.

СО2 как фактор "глобального отупения" хомо.

Как и другие статьи Уго Барди о том, что СО2 - отравляющее вещество - см.прицепку.

Пропагандируйте, продвигайте.

Анти-пропаганда, как Вы знаете, в которую закачивают миллиарды долларов, утверждает, 

что СО2 - пища для растений, и его должно быть в атмосфере много-много.

Я не вижу-слышу, чтобы борцы с изменением климата взяли точку зрения Уго на вооружение, хотя я рассылал её ещё в феврале.

Успехов,

Свет

Dear colleagues, 

we all know that humans consider themselves as the smartest species on planet Earth -- it is true, although it is also true that we are making a very bad use of this great intelligence in order to kill each other and members of other species as well. Pretty dumb, I'd say.

But how is it that we are so intelligent? It is a question that has puzzled me for a long time and, by now, I think I have a possible answer. You can find it here:

My point is that large brains are possible only in conditions in which they can be efficiently oxygenated; that is for low concentrations of CO2 in the atmosphere. It is a condition that Earth's ecosystem experienced only during the past few million years. And that is why we are here, basically. 

Unfortunately, no matter how smart we think we are, we are dumb enough to be working at raising the CO2 concentration at levels at which the brain cannot be properly oxygenated. We may be "un-evolving" ourselves, back to times when there were no sentient being on Earth. The recently observed phenomenon of "global dumbing" may be a first indication of what's happening. Obviously, that makes even more urgent to stop emitting CO2 -- it is a problem additional to global warming, but perhaps even more worrisome. 

So, if you have some time, please take a look at my paper. For the time being, it is in the form of a preprint, and I am waiting from comments and criticism from others before I submit it to a scientific journal as a full-fledged paper. Your comments, suggestions, and criticism are most welcome
