Where can I read about this that is written by a physicist, but isn't written by Stoyan Sarge (the original author).

The reason for the second requirement is I don't know enough physics to call bullshit on bullshit. So I'd prefer to read a third party who does know enough discussing the results than the original author.

My google foo isn't finding anything.



I really would like that too :(

The problem I see is that it just takes to much time for most people to really dig into this to a point where write something as deep as the original theory is possible. As always, working with fringe sciences will bring you no luck in the scientific community.

Don't get me wrong, I would also take one page that seriously falsifies the theory so I can move on. Would have been nice but isn't, that's OK. I will be sad, but letting theories go is part of development.

I have talked to countless people in person and usually I can quickly answer their questions and it works much better then mediums like this one. Unfortunately, there seem not much coming out of this except getting some fans. I have spent surely months writing emails to physicists, asking them about their opinion. Not a single good answer, some show interest but that's it.

As I also follow more critical views on climate change then IPCC, from my perspective an open mind and theories like this are the last hope for human survival. And don't come me with renewable energies like solar - we increased CO2 output by 2% in 2017 and this is without melting permafrost and other feedback loops we triggered. Most people just don't get it that we are in free fall now, the blue ocean event is right in front of our doorsteps.

To be honest, my perspective is quite dark, especially consider our track record of f*ing things up :(


Your post made me sad and I had to close the computer for a minute.

My hope is in a different place than yours. I don’t think we have a physics problem. We have all the technology we need to live in (roughly) closed carbon systems. It’s a mix of very old tech and some new electronics. There are thousands of people refining the details every day on YouTube. Search “permaculture vlog”.

All we are lacking is 1) a viral teaching tool. And 2) digital tools for distributed governance of shared small resources like some acres of land or a tractor.

But thousands are working feverishly on these issues right now also.

I fear a runaway carbon event as you do. But even in a return to the Cretaceous (likely), permaculture still works. People do it in the desert.
