November 2006 is a timeless space dedicated to all open explorers and system entrepreneurs of photosynthesis as the only likely way out of losing human sustainability to climate wars
we started this future history map back in 1984; for some reason searching the truth of this debate gets harder and harder while the vested interests are conducting climate wars against the people - so please search for the needles in the haystacks of google.com or live.ocm on photosynthesis until true action elarning around photosythesis becomes simple again
From chapter 16 1984- Death of Distance's Sustainability Generation 1984-2024 by Macrae & Macrae, how the human species went to brink of 7 global integration crises : 1 climate (including clean water, food, energy, air, and evolution with natural networks) 2 media and truth and mediation and meetings that energise con flict resolution 3 learning and rights to lifelong freedom/happiness of all children 4 poverty 5 war & peace 6 professional oaths 7 preventing risks and loving boundary value multipliers
Sunlight is the fuel which sustains life on earth. The process by which plants extract energy from sunlight, using that energy to build up complex compounds from simpler ones and thereby storing the energy which animals, including humans, use to grow and move and see and think is the life-process itself. We (human beings) have always exploited that life-process, but in the past we have only been able to do so by using living plants as our agents. We learned to cultivate them, develop them by selective breeding, and since the 1980s to meddle with their genes, but we have not yet learned to substitute something of our own making for the living plant. We have not found or made a more efficient substitute for chlorophyll itself outside the naturally-occurring factory which is the living cell.
Until we design our own systems which can deploy the energy of sunlight as efficiently as humble algae does, we humans have no real biotechnology of our own. We have many kinds of solar cells which can extract energy from the sunlight and store is as electricity or heat, but such devices are very crude indeed beside the technical sophistication and versatility of living plants.
We are making a determined effort to capture and use a greater fraction of the solar energy which falls upon the face of the earth every day. We are trying to make plants flourish in paces where at present they can only eke out the most precarious of existence. The ideal situation, however, would be one in which we did not need to work so hard to adapt existing plants to more hostile conditions. If we had our own artificial systems of photosynthesis we might exploit the desert sun ourselves, without using other organisms as intermediaries. Our ultimate ambition must be to make artificial photosynthetic systems more efficient than those which have evolved alongside side us throughout the history of life on earth. Then and only then will we be able to claim that we are technologically self-sufficient. In 2024, this looks as if it might be one of our children's tasks.
