Mass Extinction causes Global Climate Change

Conclusion: Man has damaged the climate buffering capabilites of the Earth's biosphere, through 100,000 years of systematic extermination of large, ecosystem shaping, terrestial animals. Since 1950, destruction of the Oceanic biological climate buffering system has been greatly accelerated, due to recent advances in fishing technology and government subsidizing of the industry. The increase in global CO2 levels paralells the recent damage done to the Ocean's biological, plankton CO2 buffering system.

A Reversal of Traditional Thought

The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate that man-made, or Anthropogenic, mass Extinction causes global climate change. This is a slight reversal of traditional thinking, the long accepted fact that natural climate change causes extinction. We know that climate and biological life are strongly and inextricably linked, and that there is already a well established general mechanism for extinction cause and effect, with climate being the driving force. Here we will examine why with the arrival of man, the positions of cause and effect, can be reversed. That man, using the mechanism of mass extinction, is causing global climate change.

Plankton, one of the planet's tiniest organisms, absorbs much of today's global CO2. Recently discovered, is the ability of some species of plankton to modify their own weather by creating rain clouds. This just gives us a small hint at the power and impact a single species or genus can have on our planet's climate.

***************************************************************************************

Harvest of marine fish species has risen from about 14 million tonnes in 1950 to a peak of 82 million tonnes in 1989. As fishing fleets continue to grow, in contrast wild catch numbers continue to decline. Projected demand for fish for all uses is in the order of 140 to 150 million tonnes for 2010.

According to global warmers ...

impact on Ocean ecosystem = 0

impact on plankton predators = 0

impact on predators that prey on 'animals that eat plankton' = 0

impact on plankton population = 0

impact on Ocean CO2 reservoir and exchanges = 0

impact on plankton buffering of climate = 0

impact on global climate = 0

Yet to be resolved by Global Warmers

1. Incomplete carbon cycle data, both current and historical.

2. Cherry picked data, buried data, secret data, and data for sale at a price.

3. Old data is 'good', but only when it supports their case.

4. When presenting science facts for general public consumption, they should be presented truthfully, without bias, be easily verified, and in terms a layman can understand.

5. An assumption that the weather of 1960 is a "natural" baseline, and not already man-made. That all future weather should be judged by this baseline as it represents the only "correct weather".

6. Pretending it is a tree hugging enviromentalist issue.

7. Ignoring the fact that sea levels are critical to offshore oil platforms and their associated coastal refinery plants. That CO2 credits simply allow more oil to be pumped without further endangering the offshore oil industry.

8. Ignoring standard science ethics by refusing to allow public scientific peer review of their data.

9. Ignoring the recent extermination of the plankton predator food chain, including whales and large fish that eat smaller plankton predators.

10. The attitude that the public is too dumb to understand the facts, therefore they must not question the IPCC's conclusions.

11. A failure to address the inconsistencies in the Mauna Loa CO2 data.
