From the Archean, 3.5\u00a0billion years ago, until the present there is a consistent pattern in all of evolutionary history, increases in biomass and biodiversity the operations of which, create ecosystems services. Although, biomass was impacted five times in the history of life, such that a large percentage of the existing biomass was fossilised, the imperative at each response was the growth of biomass. The time that biomass could remain resident in any area for periods of time produced biodiversity, in other words, biodiversity are\u00a0\u00a0the patterns wrought in biomass over time and space. Because we are all a part of it, we see ourselves when we see the spirit of life.<\/p>\n

We are children of light. Light from the sun, streaming out into the universe, is slowed down briefly, to power the manifestation of life on this planet, before it is released to continue its journey outwards. This act is created by photosynthetic biomass (PB), the green matter of all plants, where the molecule chlorophyll performs the act of primary production, the initial step in the manifestation of life.\u00a0 This is the process of carbon dioxide and water being fused together to hold the energy of sunlight while releasing oxygen. The ability to increase living biomass through the absorption of solar radiation while releasing oxygen and water vapour into the atmosphere, is the first act of building life and is represented by the chemical formula:<\/p>\n

a6CO2<\/em>\u00a0+\u00a0a6<\/em>H2O + e ->\u00a0\u00a0b<\/em>C6H12O6\u00a0+\u00a0b<\/em>6O2<\/p>\n

It states that six molecules of carbon dioxide and six molecules of water from the atmospheric cycle are joined by using the energy of sunlight to yield a biologically based sugar and six molecules of biologically produced oxygen.<\/p>\n

Chemically stated, this \u2018Creation Formula\u2019 represents the first act of life, the consequence of this act is an environment rich in breathable oxygen and drinkable water to sustain its manifestations.\u00a0 The actions or services created by invoking the formula, are termed \u2018Primary Ecosystem Services\u2019; sugar production, oxygen generation and water transformation, i.e., all actions essential for the sustainability of the life support system of the planet.<\/p>\n

These \u2018Primary Ecosystem Services\u2019 are created by the action of photosynthesis which helped create the oxygen rich atmosphere that we enjoy today. By the operation of the Creation Formula, the annual output of carbon dioxide from volcanic activity was deposited as fixed carbon locked for millions of years in the lithosphere as fossils.\u00a0 The oxygen generated by the activity was retained in the atmosphere. The fossilised material was transformed into hydrocarbons within the rock.<\/p>\n

Hydrocarbons, made from the fossilisation of organic compounds of once living forms. It is the burning of these fossil components using biologically generated oxygen that is currently driving climate change and pushing the threat to life ever closer.\u00a0The reason why becomes clear when the generalised formula for hydrocarbon combustion is looked at, in terms of its combustion products, which is responsible for climate change. Because of the effect it has on life It\u00a0\u00a0has been chemically stated as the \u2018Satanic Formula\u2019,<\/p>\n

f<\/em>CH4 +\u00a0b<\/em>O2 ->\u00a0n<\/em>CO2 +\u00a0n<\/em>H2O + e<\/p>\n

Which states that, burning fossil Hydrogen and fossil Carbon (Oil, Gas, Coal) using biologically created Oxygen, creates \u2018new\u2019 Carbon Dioxide and \u2018new\u2019 water vapour that never existed in the atmosphere before.\u00a0These \u2018new\u2019 gaseous inputs into the atmosphere accelerate the current trends of rampant\u00a0\u00a0global warming and climate change. But there is another feature about this formula that really makes it sinister and that is the fact the global Oxygen concentration is falling\u00a0the natural world is unable to cope with the\u00a0extraction. For instance, the total worldwide oil consumption\u00a0was about 93 million barrels\u00a0per day<\/strong>\u00a0(bbl.\/day), to yield energy, the Oxygen out put of approximately 221,965,166 trees working for\u00a0one year<\/strong>\u00a0will be required and still, no replacement mechanism is being considered.<\/p>\n

The need to address the problem becomes more urgent when the massive burning of Oxygen by the defence industry and the aerospace industry is considered. None of these industries acknowledge any responsibility for burning up the global stocks, in fact developers like Elon Musk has openly stated that his\u00a0operations are profitable because \u2018Oxygen is free\u2019. It is this \u2018free rider\u2019 that allows the externalising of costs involved in the use of the Global Commons. A \u2018free rider\u2019 that has led to an acceleration of the destruction of the stock of Oxygen in the Global Commons. Paying for its replacement is logical, practical and responsible<\/p>\n

The consequence of invoking \u2018the Satanic Formula\u2019 is clear, in our wholehearted acceptance in invoking the Satanic Formula as the basis of human development, we ignore the fact that by driving a motor car or taking an airplane or doing the myriad of things that shape our life\u2019s activity, we invoke it constantly and contribute to the stifling of life!<\/p>\n

Can we change the current suicidal direction of human growth in terms of the economically defined negative or positive externalities ? Today the cost of negative externalities of all industrial processes need to be paid by the public<\/p>\n

The basic problem is the ease with which operators can externalise their impact into the Global Commons and not be held responsible for such action. In fact, much of the current value realised by the existing economic system, is achieved by externalising (i.e., not paying for) the negative impact on the Global Commons or the public. Are there processes that can externalize positive actions that benefit and contribute to the well-being of the public?<\/p>\n

The impact of negative externalities allowed under the current economy\u00a0degradation of the Global Commons\u2019 and consequen degradation of human well-being as seen by the crises brought about by climate change and the exponential increase of non-communicable diseases (NCDs)<\/p>\n

Invoking the \u2018Satanic Formula\u2019 has brought us nothing but destruction and suffering, perhaps it is time to reject the economy of death and look to building a new economy by invoking the \u2018Creation Formula\u2019 and creating an economy of life.<\/p>\n

We require a systems change, local and Global<\/p>\n

so that we achieve:<\/p>\n

An economic system, which values productivity without reliance on fossil energy and renewable energy with decentralized production becomes a development goal. A system where the value of Ecosystem Services can be realized.<\/p>\n

An environmental system, where the life support system is not compromised. Where Biodiversity is recognized as valid indicator of ecosystem change and stability.<\/p>\n

A Public Health system, where the national goal is a decrease in the rate of non-communicable diseases (NCD\u2019s), through the control of dietary and environmental toxins, in addition to upgrading reactive care response.<\/p>\n

There are two avenues for creating wealth and progress in this world one is by invoking the \u2018Satanic Formula\u2019 that leads to death and destruction, the other is by invoking the \u2018Creation Formula\u2019 that leads to life and sustenance.<\/p>\n

We have experienced the first avenue and indeed it leads to a bleak future, is it not time to stop beating ourselves with a hammer on the head to cure our headache and look for a jar of healing salve instead?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
