Does ocean water absorb solar photons in its water molecules (H2O) alone, or does it also absorb photons in its salt molecules (sodium chloride, NaCL) dissolved in that salt water?
I think it is the latter, which, when that saturation point is reached it will cause peak oil destructive impact on this world's civilization.
That is when "peak oil" is also reached in the sense that peak oil (the peak damage oil does) is when peak saturation takes place as well as peak self-induced destruction due to the ocean no longer being capable of absorbing 90-93 percent of global warming induced heat increases.
II. Friendly Salt
There are more ways than one to convert solar energy into electricity (Fig. 1).
"Salt batteries" is a concept where solar heat is stored in molten salt.
The salt melts but those batteries can hold up to 500 decrees of heat energy (photons absorbed by salt molecules).
That is what led me to wonder how do photons from the Sun get absorbed in salt water.
And to conclude that salt waters absorb solar photons.
The author of the first two books I mentioned above is Jeff D. Colgan, the author of the book calling oil wars a myth is Emily Meierding, a military person.
Her historical perspective goes back less than a hundred years, and is in conflict with historians who observed official government psychological behavior control (propaganda) during that time frame:
"The enemy aggressor is always pursuing a course of larceny, murder, rapine and barbarism. We are always moving forward with high mission, a destiny imposed by the Deity to regenerate our victims, while incidentally capturing their markets; to civilise savage and senile and paranoid peoples, while blundering accidentally into their oil wells."
(As We Go Marching, by John T. Flynn, 1944, page 222, emphasis added). Meierding's "contrast" with Flynn and Colgan reminds me of the government official who, while patrolling the gambling casino business in Casablanca, was awarded his winnings as he declared his surprise that gambling was going on there (Fig. 2).
This "play pretend" is an ancient mental condition that has infected civilization after civilization because it is:
But always TCS [the creep state] is primarily the population segment diagnosed as a despotic minority which the once most-often-quoted historian, Toynbee, fingered as one of the members of the trinity of extinction that he found in all civilizations that were about to become very successful at becoming extinct:
That something is the dementia that produces and ends up in suicide:
"In other words, a society does not ever die 'from natural causes', but always dies from suicide or murder --- and nearly always from the former, as this chapter has shown."
(A Study of History, by Arnold J. Toynbee). There is no cure for the final symptom of that group dementia, there is only prevention by way of avoiding it altogether in the first place.
The components of that group dementia were pointed out in an encyclopedia piece concerning that historian quoted above:
"In the Study Toynbee examined the rise and fall of 26 civilizations in the course of human history, and he concluded that they rose by responding successfully to challenges under the leadership of creative minorities composed of elite leaders. Civilizations declined when their leaders stopped responding creatively, and the civilizations then sank owing to the sins of nationalism, militarism, and the tyranny of a despotic minority.
(Encyclopedia Britannica, emphasis added). The show stopper, in terms of remedy, in this type of group dementia is that it is a contagious dementia.
(Arrested Development: The Creep State). The long and the short of it is that cultures devolve over and over again because bad choices exceed good choices."
(How To Enjoy The End Of Bad Choices). My research begins a century prior to the coverage afforded by the aforementioned two authors, and is detailed in several Dredd Blog series.
III. In The Beginning And Sometime Thereafter
Let's look at a beginning, the first Elon Musk, who was an oil man through and through:
"John Davison Rockefeller (July 8, 1839 – May 23, 1937) was an American industrialist and philanthropist. He was the founder of the Standard Oil Company, which dominated the oil industry and was the first great U.S. business trust. Rockefeller revolutionized the petroleum industry and defined the structure of modern philanthropy. In 1870, he founded the Standard Oil Company and aggressively ran it until he officially retired in 1897. Standard Oil began as an Ohio partnership formed by John D. Rockefeller, his brother William Rockefeller, Henry Flagler, Jabez Bostwick, chemist Samuel Andrews, and a silent partner, Stephen V. Harkness. As kerosene and gasoline grew in importance, Rockefeller's wealth soared, and he became the world's richest man and the first American worth more than a billion dollars. Adjusting for inflation, he is often regarded as the richest person in history."
(A History of Oil Addiction - 2, quoting Wikipedia). Like the current oil war participants in the state department, J.D. Rockefeller used government for personal gain:
"Yes, the foreign policy that fundamentally supports oil barons has never been a big secret: 'One of our greatest helpers has been the State Department' - John D. Rockefeller (1909)."
"Then we will compare the warnings about that Bangladesh building to the similar warnings about the structure of civilization, and how the warnings concerning the building in Bangladesh constitute a metaphor or epitome of current civilization:
Long before politicians mewled helplessly about the power of “Big Oil”, carbon-based fuels were shaping our very political, legal, intellectual, and physical structures.
... For instance, the invasion of Iraq in 2003 was a pivotal moment in America’s strategic outlook. America, a global hegemon whose empire was weakening, seized the second largest oil deposits in the world as a way of preventing its economic and political decline. ... The last declining global hegemon, Great Britain, also engaged in a brutal and highly controversial British occupation of Iraq, in the 1920s, pressed aggressively by the well-known British conservative, Winston Churchill.
(Book Review of "Carbon Democracy", emphasis added). Churchill was a conservative in the mold of today's American conservatives in government, in the Oil-Qaeda sense, and like them he also believed:
From the moment he arrived at the Admiralty, a young man of destiny, Churchill started to prepare the fleet for the Battle of Armageddon he believed was inevitable.
(John McCain's Book About Churchill, emphasis added). Now, before we begin to analyze this, let me add the third pillar of the structure of current civilization:
Then, in 1911, the German Kaiser provoked the Agadir crisis ... Churchill went to the Admiralty and his outlook transformed. He was immediately confronted with the decisive question: to convert the navy from coal to oil ... the "fateful plunge" was made ... in April 1912 ... five oil-burning battleships were approved. ... Britain was well supplied with coal [but not oil]. It was the Royal Navy which was the impetus for the development of the oil industry in Britain. The problem was supply and the security of that supply. Initially, the British government purchased shares in the Anglo-Persian Oil Company, subsequently, British Petroleum [BP].
(Winston S. Churchill, by Eugene L. Rasor, p. 157-58). That molded the cogs on the gears of U.S. foreign policy ideology too:
Then, to prevent further disruptions, Britain enmeshed itself ever more deeply in the Middle East, working to install new shahs in Iran and carve Iraq out of the collapsing Ottoman Empire.
Churchill fired the starting gun, but all of the Western powers joined the race to control Middle Eastern oil.
The mentality of the foreign policy that rushes headlong into the destruction of civilization in order to save civilization is obviously insane, however, it is also obviously an institutionalized madness hidden in plain sight (MOMCOM's Dissociation)."
"IS [Naval Postgraduate School] broadly encompasses the design, implementation, use, promotion and evaluation of organizations, processes and systems associated with knowledge, information, data and communication. It includes areas of concentration in information systems, information technology, information warfare, information operations, and command and control ... emphasis on the technological artifacts that enable and support organizations, processes and systems associated with knowledge, information, data and communication. The behavioral approach to IS emphasizes behavioral problems associated with design, implementation, use, promotion and evaluation of organizations, processes and systems associated with knowledge, information, data and communication."
Proper ganda fabrication such as "oil wars are a myth" is one such event; note that Emily Meierding teaches ... "there".
"As with any close-knit family, the transatlantic partnership between the United States and Europe that was forged from a cataclysmic world war has passed through occasional rough moments.
European powers’ refusal to join in President George W. Bush’s “war of choice” in Iraq in 2003 is one example. The fallout from President Barack Obama’s swipe at NATO partners as “free riders” unwilling to pay their fair share for their own security is another.
But the stark message of fraying bonds, growing disregard, and diverging values that senior Trump administration officials laid out for shocked European leaders last week has diplomats and seasoned observers asserting that this is more than a passing family spat."
(More than a rift, CSM News, emphasis added). Yes, addicted family members even sometimes kill one or more other family members.
This Dredd Blog series has detailed what one president called our "oil addiction", which is an ancient family affair in western civilization:
"The enemy aggressor is always pursuing a course of larceny, murder, rapine and barbarism. We are always moving forward with high mission, a destiny imposed by the Deity to regenerate our victims, while incidentally capturing their markets; to civilise savage and senile and paranoid peoples, while blundering accidentally into their oil wells."
