Coral reef and rising waters




by National Geographic » 04/05/11, 17:55

Hello,
two subjects that could particularly interest you in the last issue of National Geographic France (May 2011):

• on the cover, the Great Barrier Reef Australian. The most massive living structure on the planet is facing the fastest changes it has ever faced. If climate change and acidification threaten it, attempts to protect it do not remain ineffective.
Also of note, a report on the New Caledonia, which is home to the second largest coral reef in the world.

• in Bangladesh, the 164 million inhabitants fight not only against the population, but also against rising water.

• The large tree census: a new method makes it possible to measure the carbon contained in forests and could therefore help to manage them.

More info and full summary:

Interesting to know that National Geographic-France is asking the question whether we will run out of water.
I don't know but I don't have the same information as the journalist who tries to scare us by mistakenly believing that there is a lack somewhere.
If missing there is surely its scientific side of the thing. He knows how to report a news that sells his paper, his boss will be proud of him. No I have not read the article and will not read it either .. it is that I have another bell to make him hear .. or rather to present him a website of one of his friends French in addition who does not believe in this hoax of the century either.

Check for yourself and make up your own mind.

Yes, there are like any good report certain half-truths which pass better through real and observable facts. But here it is up to everyone to make their own judgment.

Bricktal, can we know what you're talking about? This number does not directly concern the lack of water ...

Wind turbines that make water at a price of 10 € to 40 € per m3, it's just anything !! Will have to explain to me who can afford it apart from the Saudis ...

We have already talked about it here: https://www.econologie.com/forums/eolewater-t9820.html

Especially since there are water or dew traps much cheaper than the condensing wind turbine:

Hi christophe,

thanks for the old info post of forum. I admit that I had a certain laziness at my fingertips and I did not really search on the forum before posting.

The article by national-géo .. referred to the other copy of the magazine in the top left where it said that basically: will we run out of water?

The other solutions which you propose or which is reported on the old post (which I have just read), relate only a small percentage of the population in general, namely like of the recuperator with fog, to remain on the edge of a cordillera to be entitled to it.

To be able to desalinate seawater with an evaporator and you have to stay on the seaside to take advantage of it. Others? well they can remain thirsty .. or re-mortgage their main homes to pay for the latest wind turbine to have this water so vital.

Yes, it seems to be expensive for this Frenchman .. but he is also starting out and the latest news was just beginning in his efforts to better capitalize on his research and his marketing.

It is certain like anyone here, he will seek to make his stake profitable as quickly as possible, so he aims for a higher market, better finance to have access to water. Here we can think of the valley of California which needs it to cultivate its fields of vegetables nourishing all the American midwest ... they will have the means to pay for this revolutionary thing.

Once the cost has been written off for its development, the price will go down and become much cheaper like anything on the market.

The French government could just as easily decide to immediately pay it purchase capital (buy the invention due to drought in France today) and start industrial production which would greatly reduce its prohibitive price.

But here I do not have the authority to discuss the policies of cousin Sarko and I will stay away from them.

Still here I have not checked on the forum but you surely know seen your strong numerous post the cost associated with the filing of a patent and this at the international level for all the countries ... I do not make you say it, these costs are very high for a Sunday inventor such this gentleman like anyone else.

If you know an official who would pay him a nice subsidy to help him, don't hesitate to let him know, I'm sure he will appreciate your modest contribution to help one of his French brothers ... who applies the maxim of the country, equality, fraternity and solidarity.

As for me, I did my part by providing him with the name of a Quebec foundation of the cirque du soleil and which "buys" such technologies to make them available to the third world for free. I wrote to the foundation to submit this technology to them ... for my modest contribution to lowering the cost of manufacture.

I know that lowering prices will not happen overnight but like this story, when we get to the well we can drink its water. By then we will have to wait a little bit.
