Impermanent Abstract

 

A double helix poem found in Nature.  Turn the poem and the earth speaks: Anomalously weak Labrador Sea convection and Atlantic overturning during the past 150 yearsAccelerated increase in plant species richness on mountain summits is linked to warmingEstimating global agricultural effects of geoengineering using volcanic eruptions, and Extensive retreat and re-advance of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet during the Holocene.

Land Mass Dead Weight

After “Strategies for feeding the world more sustainably with organic agriculture

All of our deforested fields should be used for organic agriculture. In the United States, 325.7 million people consume 39 million cows (cattle and calves) each year. Before the cows die, they graze, and gaze accusingly at mankind. Silently, the gas from out their ass leads to an atmospheric nitrogen surplus. Meanwhile, pesticides are sprayed on the food of those who eat a plant-based diet. Set the cows free and we’ll see how they fare in the wild.

Weak Swimmer

After “Carbon dioxide addition to coral reef waters suppresses net community calcification

The skeleton of coral reef, stomping ground, ecosystem, dissolves, and the body, in parcels, frantically ebbs, lost inside its home. Time resolves the body. It takes one thousand years for a parcel of body bound to the ocean conveyor belt to end up back where it started, affixed to the skeleton—arms and legs reattach, fingers fit to fist, but every limb is crossed. This body has traveled tens of thousands of miles, but now it cannot swim.

Acid Oean

After “Anthropogenic ocean acidification over the twenty-first century and its impact on calcifying organisms

The ocean is at war with the land and the air, engulfing the body. The ocean tongue takes a lick of crust where rusty cars and other engines burn rubber spreading dust from roadways into pathways. Another passersby gets lost in the smog. Anthropogenic ocean acidification is dissolving the aragonite shields of the pteropod tribes under water and air. Land animals under smog and god, the guise of freedom and controversy, forego the instinct to submerge themselves in natural lawlessness.
