Make a real difference Earth Day 2022
This article turns to ... 1] decision-makers, 2] environmental
workers (including non-profit),
3] the general public (affecting
categories 1 and 2).
Time for another Earth Day, but this time a new focus is needed - on a factor that affects everything in nature, but is often missed even though it is now increasing: Electrosmog
Humans celebrate Earth Day (ED) April
22 since 1970. [1] The rest of the species on Earth celebrate it all
the time - by living on nature's terms.
For thousands of years we have been
doing things on human terms (increasingly) but in the 20th century
came the most serious increases in the impact of nature. And in the
early 20th century came the biggest influence factor, which is
escalating rapidly now: Electrosmog (ES).
Modified versions of electromagnetism with destructive effects = pollutions = electrosmog.
Why biggest? Since electromagnetism is the fundament for life and planetary systems, and ES is a
(dirty) part of electromagnetism, it has the potential to affect
everything - from small insects & large trees to the atmosphere
(weather, the oxygen we breathe, etc.).
+ We also have extreme amounts of ES (via
Wi-Fi, smart-phone etc.)
Society in general takes far too little account of ES in terms of environmental impact. (Many authorities, associations and companies working with the environment/climate have been blind to this possibility.)
But there is thankfully a part of society that has not been blind: Scientists. There are today many thousands of studies/reports that show both versatile and aggressive influence (which can be explained by the fundamental nature of ES).
This is of course more relevant than ever as experts believe that the "sixth mass extinction" has begun, and some key species/groups have shown impact from ES:
Biological impact
- Amphibians (frogs e.g.) are being eradicated, and increase in deformed frogs = warning signs because amphibians are generally good indicators of environmental status.
- Birds and flying insects (especially bees) have shown extra impact due to their many electromagnetic functions and that they are sometimes in the "line of fire".
- Vegetation (crops and trees) shows poor growth, less leaves and decline. Trees play many important roles - from mycorrhiza to climate regulation.
Water is an important factor (along
with energy), as it has many different properties and interacts with
both the biosphere and atmosphere (climate regulator).
Water
molecules can be altered, or "only" rotated (create heat),
in all conditions - generally KHz frequencies for ice*, while water
vapour has a peak at 24 GHz.
*abnormal melting?
Water has a very high heating capacity,
and water vapor is the main greenhouse gas.
Atmospheric impact
- Electron influence in the ionosphere → depletes the ozone layer + direct heating of the ionosphere.
- Molecular influence in the troposphere - mainly water molecules (in all states).
- Rocket launches (for the location and maintenance of satellites) emit water vapour and soot, which has much greater climate effect than CO2. Satellite signals increase electrosmog in the ionosphere.
Impact on the atmosphere → impact on
climate and weather (as they are part of this huge and complex
planetary system). Weather is a good indicator of changes as it has a
much faster and clearer response than climate (climate = average
weather conditions over many years in a given area). [2]
5G (fifth generation mobile communication) is now being introduced which increases all the above mentioned. Increased exposure + new type of rays = increased influence.
Billions of 5G capable antennas connect
to 5G-capable gadgets within range and send laser-like beams in both
directions (in addition to existing 3G/4G radiation).
+ ~90,000* satellites that provide 3D exposure. (* Some of them await permission & launching.) [3]
Higher frequencies increase the impact on insects, trees and air (H2O: 24 GHz, O2: 60 GHz). [4]
Image from a report which simplified these levels of impact in significant years. [5]
Whose responsibility?
That is why we* must become aware of
this and make the necessary adjustments.
* All of us, but especially
environmental organisations and authorities. [6]
Of course, authorities have a given
responsibility (politically and legally entrenched), but also
everyone else who works with the environment (incl non-profit) since
here lies a moral responsibility - partly as a world citizen, partly as an expected role model for the public.
Most authorities (around the world)
have not assumed their responsibilities at all.
Greenpeace is probably the biggest environmental org in the world, and they have known about ES for years, but still do nothing. Luckily there are other environmental org's and local groups to address.
And the team behind ED 2020 deviated from core values/purpose when they said that we should stay at home behind our screens → lose more natural contact, draw more electricity, be exposed to more ES. [1]
What about the public? We have rights &
obligations and a voice to make heard. These tools include 'consumer
power' which we rarely use well.
Are you prepared to sacrifice trees,
bees and climate to be included in the "internet of things"?
To choose 5G & Virtual reality at the expense of nature &
health?
Time to awaken the environmentalists
and work together (to limit ES & 5G) ...
and that we all take our
responsibility - individually and collectively.
Solutions for environmental workers
- Add ES to the list of environmental factors you are working on (ES does not have to become a separate focus area - ES can be incorporated into existing ones).
- Use the help of people who already have the knowledge and also want to help.
- Look at good examples around the world - many have already made this transition.
So raise the ES awareness this ED...
and then make every day ED.... for real.
"Biodiversity instead of technological stupidity!"
