Bathing climate change

 

Referring to Donald Trump’s the United States of President of America, ignorance of climate change a learning friend of mine commented; “If the top tier of global human leadership so clearly doesn’t comprehend even the basics of the challenges we face, how are those tasked with delivering solutions ever going to succeed? Resources are being undermined or withdrawn simply because the leadership doesn’t understand what they do.”


The answer is that we must succeed in spite of them. Engineers, scientists -ists , technicians, construction professionals, brilliant minds, experts in computing AI and brilliant communicators must work together to limit the damage that the climate crisis is causing. Yes, Ignorant  leadership Will impact available resources of all kinds. But only a bad workman blames his tools . And every engineer, site manager And technician I have ever known has always found ways of relocating a resource to where it’s truly needed. PhD’s completed outside of laboratory hours Through doors artfully left unlatched, Extra hours put in outside of office hours to craft communications. Personal money spent on computing to complete research. Only the complicit will allow the restriction or resources to prevent us from battling the climate crisis.

  Imagine a bustling society of tiny, determined beings—the autotrophic bacteria—living in a vibrant, unseen world. These microscopic citizens thrive in environments rich with ammonia, a substance that many consider waste, yet for them, it’s a treasure trove of energy. In this miniature realm, the autotrophic bacteria are akin to resourceful warriors, battling against the harsh conditions of their surroundings. They form intricate communities, each member armed with unique abilities to harness energy from ammonia. As they  oxidise this nitrogen-rich compound, they engage in a relentless struggle for survival, converting ammonia into energy through a sophisticated process akin to a bustling factory. Picture them as skilled artisans, meticulously crafting energy from the raw materials at their disposal. They employ intricate biochemical pathways, transforming ammonia into essential nutrients that sustain their lives. This transformation is not without its challenges; they must n...
