A Coming Worse Pollution?

Rongqing Dai

Historical experience has shown time and again that when it comes to the issue of damaging the earth's environment, the scientists of this world have often been swift in doing it but slow in regretting the consequence. This is a sad fact in the history of industrialization when it is supposed to (and does) benefit the mankind.

A few centuries ago, when the first industrial revolution began, scientists had no idea at all that carbon dioxide, a trace gas in the atmosphere, would one day be the subject of worldwide emissions control. But now when the world is crying out about too much carbon dioxides in the atmosphere, scientists once again are working very hard by spending billions of dollars in something that could potentially be the preparation for another round of future air pollution, a possibly much worse kind of pollution than the carbon dioxides, without seemingly aware of it.

Today a hot scientific headline is the global competition rushing to make fusion power plants possible. Several scientific groups have optimistically predicted that they would make some breakthrough in achieving net power output with their fusion power generators.

However, it is well known that the process of fusion power generation is turning deuterium from the ocean to helium in the atmosphere [[1]].

While scientists are claiming that helium is a harmless clean gas they seem to have forgotten also to tell us the following facts about it:

As the second most abundant gas in our four-dimensional universe, helium is pretty much impossible to eliminate from nature. Compared with carbon dioxide, helium is not only too light to be comfortably collected, but also too inert to be absorbed through chemical means; accordingly, there is NO natural process in Earth's nature that can turn helium into gases good for human health, as photosynthesis does with carbon dioxide.

As an asphyxiant gas, despite its current harmless status in nature, the accumulative effect of diluting oxygen and nitrogen in earth atmosphere in large quantity could be severely pernicious decades later if it happens at a fast pace.

The most worrisome aspect of constantly turning the deuterium of our seawater into helium in the atmosphere is that the process is basically irreversible, that is to say the end results are accumulated monotonically. With this natural logic, the dilution of oxygen and nitrogen concentrations in the atmosphere by helium could be negligible if the concentration of helium grows at a negligible pace, or threatening if the concentration of helium grows at a threatening pace.

Although currently the normal concentration of helium in our atmosphere is only 5ppm, and scientists claim that only a very small amount of deuterium will be used at any moment for the fusion reaction, they seem to forget that the might of global industrial mass production is not the experimental scale in their labs can match at all. Besides, they seem also to forget the famous Jevons paradox [[2]] which tells that industrial production itself would greatly beef up the desire of consuming of the products and thus further greatly boost the production! Plus, there is NO natural process to reduce the concentration of helium as photosynthesis does with carbon dioxide.

Given the difficulty of eliminate helium from nature, in case decades from now we find out that the atmosphere is filled with helium pollution as the result of the scientific community's own obsession of the advanced technology and their own fame, it may not be as easy to fix as reducing carbon emissions is today.

“….when the public embraces those achievements of science and technology as miracles and longs for the coming of the next ones, people often ignore one sad fact that as the ancient dreams come true, their potential negative social impacts could also become true.”

[的確如此但那又如何]

或許人類隻是地球這一段時間的主流物種，主宰者從來不是我們

[慕容青草]

回複 '的確如此但那又如何' 的評論 : 我也邀請academia.edu那位當初對我的電離式飛碟猛發評論，扯什麽O2,O3,O4,O5,O6,O7的那位很像外星人的Atom Team來對本文在academia.edu的討論發評論，她根本不搭理。。。。這說明，假如她是外星人的話，也不表明她一定是要保護地球。。。。

[慕容青草]

回複 '的確如此但那又如何' 的評論 : 1）現有的UFOLOGY確實聲稱有很多外星人來到地球。。。那個Beilek不就這麽聲稱的嗎？

2）我並沒有根據他們是否保護環境和破壞環境來判斷他們是否為外星人。。。而是根據他們的表現的其它特征以及他們支持或反對的邏輯來判斷。。。比如，2013年車裏雅賓斯克隕石事件中的那顆高速穿透隕石的小飛行物，我就判斷那極可能是外星人，因為人類沒有那樣的技術。。。。而我認為那個事件的真實性極大，原因有二：a)事件發生的當天，台灣的傅鶴鳴教授就在關鍵時刻節目上放出了那顆小飛行物穿透隕石的視頻。。。我那時還不像現在這樣習慣性的上YouTube，所以我最初是從他們那裏看到那個小飛行物的。。。我不相信在事件發生的當天的舉世震驚中會有人去把那個視頻作假，台灣和車裏雅賓斯克離的很近，恐怕沒人的動作會這麽快。。。b)後來我自己上網也查到了不止一個頻道拍下了那顆小飛行物；3）幾年後，相關視頻在網上消失得幹幹淨淨，再也找不到----這不像是一般人能做到的。。。。

而車裏雅賓斯克背後的外星人就在保護地球環境。。。。但是，我們也聽到過很多外星人綁架甚至殺害地球人的報導。。。。此外，我也一再懷疑劉欣慈一語成讖---外星人或許確實如他所設定的那樣在故意限製人類物理學的發展。。。。

3）我的這種判斷當然不可能都很準。。。。原因很簡單：人類文明本身就經常會做出一些莫名其妙的非理性的行為。。。。比如，我這裏舉出的臉書環保群組中跳出來嗆我的貼子的三個人當中一個後來說他認為我誤解了他。。。。他說他支持核聚變而我也支持核聚變。。。。莫名其妙。。。。我的貼子明顯是反核聚變的他還以為我是支持核聚變的。。。如果他以為我們的立場相同，他又為什麽要嗆我？。。。。你說他到底時外星人故意裝傻，還是地球人就那麽莫名其妙？

[的確如此但那又如何]

一時候說外星人提醒汙染，一時候說外星人使地球遭受威脅。
照你意思推測，地球潛在不止一方的外星勢力

[慕容青草]

又一個troll網軍跳出來了：



https://www.facebook.com/groups/466052890258834/posts/2272236982973740/?comment_id=2272287909635314&reply_comment_id=2272719026258869¬if_id=1710251141330106¬if_t=group_comment_mention

看來揭露潛在的氦氣汙染讓某些暗黑勢力害怕了。。。。什麽樣的暗黑勢力會希望地球被不可逆地汙染呢？我認為應該是外星人。。。。

[慕容青草]

1) 我有充分的理由認定那兩個人是troll而不是一般的人員；

2）我之所以感到他們可能是外星人是因為他們的理由荒唐的完全不像是站在地球人的角度說話，而像是外星人給地球人洗腦。。。。。其中一個說地球的氦氣會散發到係外星球的所以不要擔心。。。我問他散發速度有多快，他說幾十億年吧。。。。另一個說，核聚變成不了，所以不用擔心氦氣汙染，我問他：既然明知成不了，你為什麽不去告訴他們別浪費幾十億美金努力地讓它成功卻要來懟我這裏警示核聚變的潛在威脅的人？？？

而troll網軍不是隨便出來的，要麽是拿了錢出來的，要麽是老板派他們出來的。。。你懂的。。。。所以，這兩個網軍跳出來變著法地為潛在的不可逆地毀壞地球的氦氣汙染辯護的行為一定是背後的勢力指派的。。。。而什麽樣的勢力會喜歡看到地球遭受威脅呢？應該不是地球人。。。。所以我懷疑他們是外星人。。。。。

[慕容青草]

哇，居然又有第二個troll網軍跳出來說，不用擔心，核聚變太陽能造不出來，所以不會有氦汙染的問題。。。難道那是一個外星人群組？

[慕容青草]

當我將本文的一部分貼在臉書的一個環保群組裏後，居然會有網軍troll出來故意散步不實信息來誤導讀者。。。有哪個地球人會希望地球有災難呢？難道是外星人動起來了嗎？：
