Also, as it's almost the end of the decade, it's worthwhile looking back at the Noughties and some of the species that have become extinct in the last decade. There's a blog posting on this on the SolarUK weblog: http://solarukweblog.wordpress.com/2009/12/01/last-chance-to-see/ This focus on the Galapagos Islands is appropriate given that it’s the 150th anniversary of ‘On Origin of Species’, the culmination of ideas planted in Darwin’s mind by his visit to these islands in particular.

What can be done, before it is completely too late ?. T hope that the Galapogeans can organize themselves to at least try to take evasive actions is as much as I can do - apart from struggle-on handing-out simple facts concerning the getting of energy from the wind. In this I have some 20 years of experience and a prototype Turbine-Alternator Device - TAD - systems comprised of which, grow at several percent per annum in a windy site. Some 50x higher a growth than current - abysmally worse than useless (80m high) "technology". In fact such useless systems do not grow at all without Input of energy from the sources which they pretend to be replacing. There are simple reasons for this difference which appear to be ignored by both government departments and "ecologically concerned" groups alike. Primary school arithmetic, Areas and Volumes. It's Basic. It's Crime, and not that only guns will sort it out - but they are sure to be rquired, as the other lot are in no doubt about this. Well this is very sad news indeed.

Earth has been evolving, geologically, for hundreds-of-millions of years; Pangaea to five(5) continents, and still moving. Continental drift, tectonic plate activity, and magnetic polar shift are the basis of atmospheric conditions. Our Sun has been cooling at a predictable rate, and sunspots are a minor player, overall due to the disruptions sunspots cause to electrical commerce. Volcanic activity, below sea level, has caused the advance and retreat of glacial activity. Combined with huge volcanic eruptions above sea level, which have been the cause of many prehistoric ages demise, our planet will make many species extinct. We can not change the climate! El nino can be sourced to the bottom of the ocean, same as the Hawaiian Islands. Fissures, between the tectonic plates release magma, and ocean currents pocket the heated water in a region, El Nino, heating the atmosphere. We can control overfishing, and pollution. Both very hard to do, since nations have different resources, religion(s), and political machinations. It be it, Ronin Kannushi To a degree, climate change is attributable to pollution; it is the only manageable facet.
