ONE. About six years ago, in the first post of this series, I asked the question presented in the title.
The question tends to conjure up the notion that
for every cure there is a disease (or is it the other way around?).
Historically, as concerns civilization cures, that has not been the case.
Civilizations have all gone down due to murder or suicide, the latter holding the lead at this time ("
In other words, a society does not ever die 'from natural causes', but always dies from suicide or murder --- and nearly always from the former, as this chapter has shown." -
A Study of History, by
Arnold J. Toynbee).
We sometimes wonder if our
nuclear civilization is above all that:
As time goes on in the USA, fewer and fewer people think that election time is a time to bring some cure to the governing process.
It is more often than not a time to express anger.
A time to throw some bums out in anger, not really contemplating the consequences of simply venting anger so much that worse candidates replace the current losers.
Is this a symptom of something?
If I were to say that ... more U.S. citizens will begin to lose their minds than will lose homes, jobs, or health care, would you believe it?
(
Will Elections Cure The Disease?). Remember that one of the technical characteristics of cultural dementia, like individual dementia, is being unaware of one's location (
You Are Here).
The current election aftermath season supercharges the notion that entire cultures
and even civilizations can become demented to the point of being
lost in space (in the sense of not even knowing which planet one inhabits):
Donald Trump Still Thinks Climate Change Is ‘A Bunch Of Bunk’
Priebus confirms that climate denial will be the official policy of Trump’s administration
The
greatest threat to national security (in the thinking of the military and the scientific community) is global warming induced climate change:
Every branch of the United States Military is worried about climate change. They have been since well before it became controversial.
...
At a time when Presidents Ronald Reagan and Bush 41, and even British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, called for binding international protocols to control greenhouse gas emissions, the U.S. Military was seriously studying global warming in order to determine what actions they could take to prepare for the change in threats that our military will face in the future.
The Center for Naval Analysis has had its Military Advisory Board examining the national security implications of climate change for many years. Lead by Army General Paul Kern, the Military Advisory Board is a group of 16 retired flag-level officers from all branches of the Service.
This is not a group normally considered to be liberal activists and fear-mongers.
...
[the article quotes Eugene Skolnikoff:] "The central problem is that outside the security sector, policy processes confronting issues with substantial uncertainty do not normally yield policy that has high economic or political costs. This is especially true when the uncertainty extends not only to the issues themselves, but also to the measures to avert them or deal with their consequences.
The climate change issue illustrates – in fact exaggerates – all the elements of this central problem. Indeed, no major action is likely to be taken until those uncertainties are substantially reduced, and probably not before evidence of warming and its effects are actually visible. Unfortunately, any increase in temperature will be irreversible by the time the danger becomes obvious enough to permit political action."
(
Does Our Military Know Something We Don't?, emphasis added). Consider this in the context of the shocking statement by
Professor Wilkerson:
"The Military is the lead federal agency on climate change ... and that is ... extremely dangerous ... we may lose the republic ..."
(
The Authoritarianism of Climate Change - 2, video at bottom). According to
Professor Wilkerson, the military will coalesce into the
Sun Tzu kind of coup they teach at the
War College (
Is War An Art or Is War A Disease?).
TWO. So, if you haven't guessed what I am getting at yet, I am getting at "
when will the military
purge the denier sections of government or instead purge the climate science ?"
The state of the union (
SOTU) is that the country has been invaded in a manner that I have characterized as
an invasion by Greenland & Antarctica (
Greenland & Antarctica Invade The United States,
2,
3,
4;
Why The Military Can't Defend Against The Invasion).
So, today let's talk about the
~three feet or
~1 meter aspect of the situation, which is the point at which the
Sun Tzu kind of coup may have to take place.

THREE. Feet ... yes,
~three feet (
~a meter) is the degree of sea level rise that will cause the beginning serious malfunctions of international and national infrastructure organs of international trade / intercourse (
Why Sea Level Rise May Be The Greatest Threat To Civilization - 3).
That 3 foot quantity of sea level rise is only about 1% to 1.14% of the total ice of the ice sheets of the Cryosphere (
Fig. 1); the percentage depending on whether or not one includes ghost-water in the calculation (
The Ghost-Water Constant,
2,
3,
4,
5,
6,
7).
 |
| Fig. 4 ice loss: ~88,813.5 km3 |
The Cryosphere is composed of the ice on Greenland, Antarctica, and land glaciers.
That is the same
one and only Cryosphere that is and has been melting for a long time (
Humble Oil-Qaeda).
The
Dredd Blog software module, which uses
PSMSL tide gauge station records, calculates the
1807 - 2014 ice loss amount of the Cryosphere to be ~88,813.5 km
3 (
Fig. 4) using the "Golden 23 Zones" (
Calling All Cars: The Case of the "Missing Six" - 5).
Those are the
WOD zones in which the "Golden 23" tide gauge stations are located.
 |
| Fig. 5 ~0.28% approaching 1% to 1.14% |
In the sea level realm of science those tide gauge station records provide a global indication and useful view of sea level change.
Those tide gauge stations obviously do not directly measure the highest sea levels.
That is because those highest sea levels take place out in the deep ocean far away from coasts of the large land masses where those tide gauges must be placed (
The Bathtub Model Doesn't Hold Water - 3).
Nevertheless, they provide a platform of data from which to calculate the highest sea levels (think formulas for arcs, hemispheres, and spheres).
The results of those calculations are also helpful for calculating the amount of ice lost from the Cryosphere from 1807-2014 (
Fig. 5).
Notice that in
Fig. 4 when the sea level graphed amount falls to its lowest point circa 1866, the ice loss amount increases to its highest graphed amount, which is counter intuitive but normal (
Proof of Concept - 3,
The Evolution and Migration of Sea Level Hinge Points - 2).
The graph of ice loss
percentages per year is shown on
Fig. 5, which
totals to about 0.28%, which means that we not quite a third of the way to the 1% to 1.14% threshold yet.
But,
even with that seemingly small amount, right now military installations in some locations are beginning to flood, and to be abandoned at other locations, according to
Professor Wilkerson (
second video below).
FOUR. Elections will not solve this problem, so, we must ponder whether or not the military will "step into the vacuum" caused by what they consider to be a clueless civil government.
A clueless
civil government that has deceived sixty some million folks who, in effect,
voted this year to deny the existence of global warming induced climate change (

Changing of the Guards
by Bob Dylan
(lyrics here)
...
"Gentlemen, he said
I don’t need your organization, I’ve shined your shoes
I’ve moved your mountains and marked your cards
But Eden is burning, either brace yourself for elimination
Or else your hearts must have the courage for the changing of the guards
Peace will come
With tranquillity and splendor on the wheels of fire
But will bring us no reward when her false idols fall
And cruel death surrenders with its pale ghost retreating
Between the King and the Queen of Swords"
