For you, on the farm, on the property, on the ranch there is one thing that you can do much better than nature can. And you can do it in an instant. How? By gentle subsoil cultivation you can create the ideal soil environment for soil life to produce stable humus. And the all the carbon in that humus comes from atmospheric carbon dioxide.

Atmosphere & Oceans & Predictions

The biosphere is an incredibly thin skin covering the planet where life lives. It occupies a space of 0.2 % of the diameter of the Earth and then it’s mostly all air. Life has been altering that skin for million years. Asteroids aside – prior changes took millions of years - not 75. Deliberately our awareness has been skillfully massaged to avoid us recognising the terrible waste and disastrous consequences we’ve been encouraged to generate.
LET’S STOP THAT, RIGHT NOW

Yeomans Invents Soil Carbon late 1980s

“SOIL CARBON” is a name conveniently structured to confuse. It includes coal dust – old truck tyres - almost anything.  “HUMUS” is very specific. It’s a collection of large but inert and stable carbon based molecules. It’s the end product in the water and oxygen assisted biological decomposition of dead soil life. Its surface is a store house for all the minerals needed for nutritious plant life. Plants evolved to use humus.

Yeomans Methodology
Practical, Accurate

If you're a farmer, and farming is your living would you be happy to give building soil humus for Carbon Credits a go on your farm while complying with this methodology? I've tried to make it as workable as possible. If you can, or might, issue carbon credits and you're either government or private,  are the cross checks and securities built into this Yeomans Methodology workable for you?

Indirect and Direct Nuclear

It’s easy, practical and economical to switch to biofuels for transport and it’s easy, practical and economical to switch to both nuclear energy systems, direct and indirect, for city and industrial power. We must remind ourselves that so called “sustainable” energy or “renewable” energy are only sustainable and renewable because they’re nuclear based. Thats indirect nuclear.

FUNDING AND SHOWCASING FUELS

Removing the carbon dioxide overload is an essential. Doing it cheaply and soon gives humans the chance, the possibility, that we might actually be able to restore the Earth’s weather to normal. My concept of systematically increasing the fertility – actually the humus content – of all our World’s agricultural soils can do that. Sadly I see  no other option. This is about how we start that ball rolling.

FAKE NEWS OUT SELLING FACTS

Here we talk about the incredible artful and
sickening manipulation of public opinion.

Unfortunately, it’s actually become a highly paid advertising and art form.

11

Your job is to increase the humus content of your soil and be paid for it. This is how.

Your job is to increase the fertility and therefore humus content of your farm soil by whatever means works best. Then you are to be paid for that increase. You can grow whatever you like. You can have any stock you want and as many as you think best. Succeeding is entirely up to you.

“I believe this is how we can really end global warming. But time is short and irreversibility is frighteningly close”
Allan Yeomans

First- We must take the one trillion tonnes excess carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere. Only farms and farmers can do it for us simply by creating more humus in their soils. It’s what organic farmers do all the time. It’s now being called “soil carbon sequestration”. Don’t shackle our farmers, just pay them $10 a tonne minimum, and no strings attached,  and they will figure out the cheapest and best systems for their own farm themselves. It becomes an absolute win – win for all of us..

It’s know acknowledge by meteorologists and oceanographers that — “You can’t stop the creeping heating if you leave the stuff there”

 

Second- We must not let it ever build up again. So we must massively increase the use of  NON-FOSSIL fuels. We switch to direct nuclear power generation for 24/7 industrial power. This can be assisted by indirect nuclear power such as solar, wind, geothermal, and hydro. For transport we make the tiny engine changes needed to run on bio-fuels and adapt the design of city vehicles to operate on battery/electric power systems.

Shipping, because of size variations, will have to adapt as suits. With the these systems in place we can afford to keep air transport running on fossil fuels for much longer. It is only responsible for about 3% of current world greenhouse gas generation from fossil carbon .  It is, however s not a big change to design their gas turbines to run on biodiesel .   

I said back in the 1990s : “Renewable energy is all nuclear anyway ,for the Sun is a screaming fusion reactor and the Earth is a gently bubbling fission reactor and that’s right now”.  

All the “Renewable and sustainable” energy systems only exist because they run on nuclear power.  The only exception is tidal power because that energy comes from the gentle slowing down of the moon. That energy effect is generally too hard and too dilute to harvest.    

Third-   Recognize that they don’t intend to go out of business. ” No way” says the countries and companies that mine fossilized carbon materials. And also “No way” says the countries and companies that process and market those materials, and of those, agrochemicals are way up at the top of the list. Their available war chest is around $1,000,000,000 a week, without even trying. That’s a billion dollars a week. ( It’s actually closer to one and a half billion.) How so? Well it’s simple. Anything from 1% of a business’s total sales, and up to 60% for some cosmetic lines, is spent on advertising and public relations and image building. (“Image building” now described as “perception management”.) Now check the total world sales of these climate changing products, and do the sums. Allowing just 1% to manage our “personal opinions” their add’ agencies would have their $1 billion a week in a heart bit. And it’s all used to “sell” us the image of their utterly fictitious innocence.     

If we don’t try, then we are the fools. Pay our farmers, at least, $10 a tonne CO2, no strings attached,  and they’ll do it.
Doubters? So what? If It’s argued that creating humus, that’s creating soil carbon doesn’t work, then it follows that farmers will receive nothing and the costs will be zero.

But not to give our farmers an unfettered, unrestrained and unencumbered opportunity to see what they can do would be beyond stupidity. For humanity has no known, no viable, no sane, and not even any hypothetical procedure for removing the atmosphere’s carbon dioxide overload. We have to try. It’s a very intelligent gamble.

The Measure of Any Individual Countries Obligations is Clear There are international statistics on how much coal, oil and gas a country has burnt over the last few decades. So we know the world’s totals. So we know a country’s percentage contribution to the atmosphere’s CO2 overload.

At 400 ppm the atmosphere’s total carbon dioxide overload is one trillion tonnes. The 1950 to 2000 figures show the percentage statistics for fossil fuel consumed per country. We have, for example, Australia at 1.17%; the US at 27.1%, the EU at 26.6%, Canada at 2.2% and Cambodia at 0.002%. At $10 a tonne Australia has to pay its farmers 1.17% of $10 trillion for totally removing Australia’s past contribution to Global Warming, that’s $117 billion. The US will pay its farmers a total of $2.7 trillion. It has already been estimated that the costs of climate change in the US will have climbed to $1.9 trillion per year by 2100. That’s under a year and a half to get to the, otherwise $2.7 trillion total. I believe it could take up to 15 years to get all that excess out of the air. So we are talking an annual cost for Australia of $8 billion: and for the US around $180 billion per year.

A recent international report shows that Australia is “still subsidizing fossil fuel production to the tune of a massive $A5.6 billion a year”. Direct those subsidies to farmers for soil carbon sequestration and we are more than half way towards removing Australia’s obligation to ending global warming.

And Australia ends up with some very rich and productive soils. Governments around the world are handing out close to $1 trillion per year in subsidies to fossil fuel producers and users. To see what’s happening, as a start, go to fossil fuel subsidies, . Or just Google “fossil fuel subsidies”.

Redirect that $1 trillion to the individual country’s farmers and global warming will stop and temperatures will start to slowly normalize.








As at 23/1/23 and as requested I’m assembling for you a “what to hammer list” of the basic ideas and concepts in my assembled solution to our biosphere’s rapid overheating.


Nutshell reminder list of what we need people to know and understand – especially people who construct the laws we have to live by.

1      Per unit of power produced, coal, oil and natural gas kill over 500 times more people than die from either wind or nuclear or solar. And that’s with the two nuclear bombs that ended WW2 included.

2      Cease all government subsidies to the fossil fuels and agrochemical industries.

3     Convert the air’s carbon overload (existing as carbon dioxide) into soil humus and doing so by any means selected or invented by the farmer. And pay them at least US$10 per ton – carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2-eq) for that removal. It’s the cheapest way to remove it. The quantity removed, however has to be easily and accurately measured. Or nothing happens. The Yeomans Methodology solves that problem. Read it. One farmer’s comment was – “It’s simply unfettered common sense“.

The existing carbon dioxide overload is enough to keep the biosphere heating for decades. Its therefore imperative that we in Australia demand that our federal government use the existing “Carbon Farming Initiative Act 2011” to approve the Yeomans Methodology to create Australian Carbon Credits. Businesses, organisations and governments around the world could use the Methodology to create their own carbon credits and so demonstrate to all, the methodology’s enate practicality.

4    To be clear we are defining “humus” as those molecules that are created from the final breakdown of soil life in the presence of air and water. Humus molecules are also huge – they can have molecular weights in the millions.  They have long life-spans – up to thousands of years. In soil they are almost chemically inert. We also include as “humus” soil organic matter that will pass through a 2 mm sieve without any prior grinding. That means the material must have decomposed to the point where it is no longer a fibrous material. 

5     In the air, methane  gas is 225 to 350 time worse a greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide.

6     Fracking is the process of forcing high-pressure liquids deep into the earth to fracture the rock structures and so release trapped oil and gas. That is oil and gas that’s been safely trapped, usually for millions of years.

7     Apply continuous and enormous monitory penalties to “Fugitive Gas” (methane) discharges that mining companies are constantly releasing into the atmosphere.  

8      Ammonia liquid will be, and must be the primary fuel for all our portable energy requirements. It’s the only sane choice we have that we don’t have to grow on farm land, such as ethanol.

9       Ammonia is easy and cheap to produce from air and water and electricity. And now possibly from air and water and strong blue light. Also, ammonia is safer to handle than either gas, or oil, or coal.

( My mother always had a bottle of ammonia in the kitchen to clean the bench top. It’s safe stuff)
