# AQUAE Impact ## Posts - [‘The sky is falling ‘- and what we can do about it!](https://www.aquaeimpact.com/2025/07/20/the-sky-is-falling-and-what-we-can-do-about-it/): It is a fact the global Oxygen concentration is falling. The two graphs, one from the US and the other from Australia demonstrate that the loss is global. The only process that can contribute to atmospheric Oxygen is photosynthesis by leaves of plants and the phytoplankton of the ocean. This loss is being accelerated by the […] - [Towards an Informed Water Vision](https://www.aquaeimpact.com/2025/07/10/towards-an-informed-water-vision/): The three basic substances of our biosphere, Air, Water and Soil share the characteristic that they are all dynamic and vary in quality and quantity from place to place on this planet. However there is what is generally recognized as the ‘optimal range’ of values for each one of these substances, to render the environment […] - [Another Response to Global Warming](https://www.aquaeimpact.com/2025/06/20/another-response-to-global-warming/): In the current rush to deal with the consequences of Global Warming, much attention has been paid to the role of carbon dioxide and the control of emitting this and other greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere. The tremendous increase in carbon dioxide has been attributed to the clearing of the forests of the planet and […] - [A way out of Carbon maze – ‘Towards a commonsense understanding of Carbon’.](https://www.aquaeimpact.com/2025/06/15/a-way-out-of-carbon-maze-towards-a-commonsense-understanding-of-carbon/):  Carbon (C), the fourth most abundant element in the Universe, after hydrogen (H), helium (He), and oxygen (O), is the building block of life. It’s the basic element that anchors all organic substances, from fossil fuels to DNA. On Earth, carbon cycles through the land, ocean, atmosphere, and the Earth’s interior in a major biogeochemical cycle (the […] - [The Development Trap](https://www.aquaeimpact.com/2025/06/10/the-development-trap/): Today is the 90th birthday of   Fidel Castro who “gave leadership to “a small country which has for almost fifty years refused to relinquish its national sovereignty to the greatest superpower on the planet” (Ramonet).

In a warming world where temperatures will soar well above that, food production will be severely impacted. We would request the IPCC to address responses to this phenomenon”. This […] - [Those Killer Robots](https://www.aquaeimpact.com/2024/09/20/those-killer-robots/): The word ‘Robot’ to signify a self-aware machine with the capacity to destroy humans was first coined in 1920 by the Czech playwright Karel Capek in his play Rossum’s Universal Robots (RUR) where these non human entities destroy humans and take over the world. These artificial constructs not only had intelligence but also could outlive […] - [A Global Fraud](https://www.aquaeimpact.com/2024/09/20/a-global-fraud/): We are being made victims of a global fraud, one that ignores the scientific and economic reality of the Carbon cycle. The fossil fuel industry, be it, coal, oil or gas would have us believe that all Carbon is equal. The recent arguments of the CEBEU (Ceylon Electricity Board Engineers Union) suggesting that carbon dioxide emanated […] - [Blue Sky Mining](https://www.aquaeimpact.com/2024/09/20/blue-sky-mining/): “We are aware of the great difference in carbon dioxide that is emitted from biological sources and carbon dioxide emitted from fossil sources. One has sequestered rates measured in thousands of years while the other in millions of years. Yet the cost is still the same. We would request the IPCC to address the relative costs […] - [The Satanic Formula fCH4 + bO2 -> nCO2 + nH2O + e](https://www.aquaeimpact.com/2024/09/20/the-satanic-formula-fch4-bo2-nco2-nh2o-e/): Self-interest becomes a very strong force when your life is threatened. Collectively, we enforce laws that protect the lives of all members of a community, individually we act with defensive force to protect ones own life. But what happens when life itself is threatened? All of a sudden both the individual and society become disinterested […] - [Appreciating Soil.](https://www.aquaeimpact.com/2024/09/20/appreciating-soil/): The international day of soil came and went hardly anyone took notice.  Soil, is one of the most important components of any land, yet its value has been overlooked by most modern approaches to land development, agriculture and forestry. To most of us, soil is the stuff that holds trees up. We see it as a solid […] - [The Water Bomb](https://www.aquaeimpact.com/2024/09/20/the-water-bomb/): There has long been a suspicion that there is a force other than Carbon Dioxide that is pushing climate change. In fact, the changes predicted are coming faster than expected, the forgotten agent that is exasperating the changing climate is ‘new water’. Burning fossil fuels does not only produce new carbon dioxide it also produces […] - [Are we killing the future ?](https://www.aquaeimpact.com/2024/09/20/are-we-killing-the-future/): There is a magic engine that produces one of the rarest substances in the known universe, free molecular Oxygen. Free molecular Oxygen or O2 is found in abundance only on one known planet, ours and it is produced by the engine that supports all life photosynthesis. The process of photosynthesis is one where the energy […] - [THE THREAT TO LIFE](https://www.aquaeimpact.com/2024/09/20/the-threat-to-life/): From whatever perspective we choose this fact is clear ‘there is a threat to life as we know it”, and this threat is being constantly amplified by the actions of man.

This is the same subsidy that we give the fossil fuel industry.  A free pass to abuse the global commons. This type of resource abuse is an actualization of the hypothesis that […] - [Echoes of Cuba](https://www.aquaeimpact.com/2024/09/20/echoes-of-cuba/): I walk the hills rising from an azure blue Caribbean sea, and try to envision the history that I have been told, a history of an island, green, tropical, rich in resources that fell into a despotic military aided rule.

As farms moved from small interdependent units, bounded by fences and hedgerows, to large cropping fields to accommodate machine management, we lose the biodiversity that once existed on that landscape and the biomass that […] - [Biocurrency](https://www.aquaeimpact.com/2024/09/20/biocurrency/): The Global Commons sustain the air we breathe, the water we drink and the food we eat.
