McKibben’s Divestment Tour – Brought to You by Wall Street | Part XI: 2 Degrees of Credendum

Excerpt:

"Conclusion: We have the United Nations, scientists, governments, global media, corporations, educational facilities, etc. etc. all echoing the three syllable term, the “2ºC target.” This term has been unremittingly reverberated throughout the echo chambers of corporate and so-called progressive media in tandem with the non-profit industrial complex. This constant reiteration did not reflect the 2ºC terminology, rather, it constructed it. Misleading statements, videos, interviews and both academic and scientific papers carefully and deliberately tone down any sense of immediate urgency, lending further “target” legitimacy to the 2ºC target, to which we acquiesce. Remember that the chosen word “target” is defined as “a goal to be achieved,” which strikes a chord, even if only on a subconscious level – which is far more powerful.

It has become normalized. The spectacle, comprised of a single number united with a single letter (with a little circle between them), must be considered a feat in 21st century hegemony – a creation by those whose interests are served by the spectacle; a pasquinade for the impoverished and those not yet born. The 2ºC discourse must be considered perhaps the most deadly game of psychological warfare ever played on human society. Using simple language and steadfast repetition, the acceptance by civil society of this so-called “two-degree target” represents an unsurpassed feat in modern psy-ops."



Just another interview? Just to remind you

  1. It makes me crazy-- Michael Mann's absolute refusal to use the word 'extinction' with regard to humans. I don't think he uses it until after the 26 minute mark, and he uses it with the bromide the 'sixth great extinction' which most humans think doesn't apply to US.

  2. Replacing fossil fuel has been dangerously slow. To a large extent this has been due to the intermittent nature of wind and solar projects.

    Revolutionary science is birthing breakthrough 24/7 green technologies. One example consists of engines that run without fuel on atmospheric heat, a huge reservoir of solar energy that has never been tapped for electric power.

    A Ford engine was converted, after 9 years of work, by Chris Hunter. That serves as Proof-of Concept. AESOP Energy is converting a small Briggs & Stratton engine and a Mitsubishi V6 to demonstrate the surprising potential.
    Conversions use propane as a refrigerant. The propane is not consumed, it simply provides the temperature differential required for these engines to run.

    Four engines have been designed to run on atmospheric heat from scratch. They will need no internal propane. Two are piston engines, a 4 cylinder and a 10 cylinder. The remaining two are turbines: one with a shaft to spin a generator and the second a pure jet.

    Conversion prototypes are under construction. A 4 cylinder piston engine will follow. These engines can be scaled to very large sizes.

    SECOND LAW SURPRISES can be found under MORE on the aesopinstitute.org website.

    AESOP Energy is also developing prototypes of a 24/7 AC Geomagnetic generator - based on unique theory and an accidental discovery. This could become a 24/7 AC alternative to solar panels.

    Your modest financial assistance without delay will help AESOP replace fossil fuels FAST!
