CO2 Levels Hit Critical Level Of 400ppm

[stompk]

Readings are coming in at 400 and higher all over the Arctic. They've been recorded in Alaska, Greenland, Norway, Iceland and even Mongolia. But levels change with the seasons and will drop a bit in the summer, when plants suck up carbon dioxide, NOAA scientists said.

One of the plants that thrives in high CO2 levels, is blue-green algae, or cyanobacteria.

The Albert-Ludwigs-University Freiburg participates in the new EU-funded FP7 collaborative project "Direct biological conversion of solar energy to volatile hydrocarbon fuels by engineered cyanobacteria" (Acronym: DirectFuel), starting OCT 1, 2010, with Prof. Wolfgang Hess, Department of Genetics, Faculty of Biology, as the principal investigator. The 9-partner project is coordinated from the University of Turku, Finland and is carried out over 4 years, with a total maximum project funding of 3,729,519 EUR.

The consortium includes partners in seven countries: Finland, Germany, UK, USA, Denmark, Italy and the Czech Republic. The DirectFuel project is combining the approaches of systems biology with the tools of synthetic biology to develop a photobiological process for direct conversion of sunlight and CO2 into engine- and infrastructure-ready transport fuels.

One of the toxins I want to focus on is Microcystins.

Recent Developments Affecting Biological Warfare Capability
The introduction of modern biotechnology during the past 25 years has markedly changed the qualitative and quantitative impact that biological warfare.

Now, huge fishkills are being caused by Cyanobacteria.

Recently, the issue of blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) and their potential impacts to the environment, natural resources, and public health has earned much attention in the USA. Common in most of Florida's aquatic environments, many cyanobacteria species are capable of producing harmful toxins (cyanotoxins). Cyanobacteria can cause unsightly blooms; cause taste and odor problems in public water supplies and can kill domestic animals, pets, and fish and wildlife that drink or are otherwise exposed to untreated contaminated water or toxic biota.

Notice that? RECENTLY, it's become a problem. According to scientists, cyanobacteria played a part in the formation of Earth, so why are they now suddenly becoming a problem.

Because the cyanobacteria they are detecting are genetically engineered..

So, the theory is that the govt is injecting cyanobacteria into underground aquifers through fracking, and then they are spraying excess CO2 to feed the bacteria.

1 round trip from NY to LA or Trans Atlantic round trip = 2,000 pounds of CO2

In a year air travel releases 600 million tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere

Artificial Cloud Seeding Using Liquid Carbon Dioxide

http://journals.ametsoc.org/doi/abs/...urnalCode=apme

Silver iodide has been used in cloud seeding because it has a similar physical structure to natural ice crystals. It is often used in combination with dry ice, which is very cold.

Formed from cyanobacteria, algal toxins have a wide variety of economic impacts that include the costs of public water monitoring, short- and long-term losses of aquacultured shrimp and fish stocks, losses of submerged aquatic vegetation, and medical treatment of exposed populations.
Of particular interest is the cyanobacterial toxin known as microcystin-LR, for which World Health Organization guidelines have been established for water treatment plants.

Would this relate to Synthia!

Your thread on it is brilliant, put a link here please. D.

Bacteria for Improvement of Oil Recovery:
A Laboratory Study
Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering Department

Microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR) technique enables the improvement of oil recovery by injection of microorganisms and/or their products into depleted oil reservoirs.

The theory for utilization of bacteria in the enhancement of oil recovery was Žfirst proposed by Beckman in 1926 (Hitzman, 1983). The interest shown in MEOR gradually increased after the pioneering work of ZoBell in 1947 (ZoBell, 1947), and many countries launched laboratory and Ž field tests utilizing this technique. Although the results were promising, the research in this area lost its impetus during the 1970s due to economic reasons. During the last 2 decades, tests on MEOR have been revived throughout the world in the
search for a high performance and cost-effective EOR method.

http://www.envismadrasuniv.org/pdf/Oil%20Recovery.pdf

As one of the early pioneers and Senior Scientists at Genentech Inc,
Dr. Hitzeman's team was the first to successfully express a heterologous protein, Leukocyte Interferon, in yeast. This resulted in a major patent, "Expression of Polypeptides in Yeast". At Genentech he was also
the lead scientist to successfully secrete foreign gene products from yeast using heterologous and homologous secretion signals. Subsequently, Dr. Hitzeman branched out on his own to do consulting work for various
biotech and pharmaceutical companies. He also established a biotechnology company, Genotypes, Inc., to do contract research for other companies. Currently he is also focusing on biofuels/fossil fuel projects. Fuel projects involve cyanobacteria and other microorganisms with useful MEOR (microorganism enhanced oil recovery) characteristics (enzymological).

Nice, a guy affiliated with Genentech is working on cyanbacteria for MEOR>

Yes, this is related to Synthia.

Venter and his team have been working to create a synthetic cell since 1995

So he took the genome from a simple cell, a small bacterium called Mycoplasma mycoides, and spent several years trying to transfer its genome into a related species, Mycoplasma capricolum. He finally succeeded

Interesting. The lake where we have a little cottage and keep our boat has had "official" warnings about the blue green slime. It is toxic to people but is always there at low levels.

Last year we had a VERY hot summer and I found it interesting that the first person to get sick from this stuff was a congressman I think.

Anyone a scientist? I can easily get samples for you.

I would be curious if Hydrogen Peroxide kills it.

Now they're building ponds to grow the stuff in mass in a controlled environment. How neat.

Can think of a good use for that c02

[jesuitsdidit]

400 ppm is not high
its historically v low
at 250ppm plants start to die

ano reason why ptb want to reduce CO2

[largejack]

I think we should produce more Co2 to develop a massive fart that'll send Planet X out of the Solar System and save the Planet Earth! Do I have any disciples???

Look the whole global warming aka climate change thing is a hoax, forget about it.

So take a sample and put some peroxide in it? let me know how much of either and any other specifics and I will do it next weekend.

CO2 Levels have reached 15000 ppm before

400 ppm is v low.
