Humans are creatures of habit and do not like change and constant adjustments. We therefore imagine that the world around us is always the same and, above all, should remain the same or be as we imagine it to be. But our earth is anything but rigid! It resembles a “rubber ball” which is essentially constantly being modeled by the orbiting moon. One orbit takes about a month, which is relatively slow.

The Earth rotates around its axis once a day. This results in a rotational speed at the equator of 1,662 km/h. But we don't feel this, as we are also moving at the same speed.

In addition, the Earth orbits the sun once a year. The average orbital speed is 107,600 km/h.

Our sun and the solar system connected to it rotates around the center of our Milky Way galaxy at a speed of 960,000 km/h.

This means that we are moving through the vastness of space at a speed of more than one million km/h. Is this what static states look like?
We need to understand that we are traveling in a space-time system and that changes are completely normal conditions that humans simply cannot influence.

Wind energy use - the greatest man-made climatic devil!

The correlation between energy extraction from the tropospheric system by wind turbines and extreme rainfall as currently in Spain and previously in France can be clearly demonstrated by simple statistical figures (Please open file).

Simplified:
The extraction of energy from the wind slows the wind down. This disrupts the transportation of water vapor. Air contains gigantic amounts of water vapor. Wind farms act as barriers to horizontal wind flow. Some of the wind flow is deflected upwards, causing rainfall. Wind is comparable to flying rivers. If this flow is disrupted or hindered, the water falls from the sky. Please open the file.

Free yourself - from CO2
DOI: 10.13140/RG.2.2.32742.84808

Climate, climate, climate. Not a news item or a day goes by without constantly being reminded of the topic of climate and CO2. CO2 stands for carbon dioxide. Carbon occurs in nature both pure and chemically bound in a wide variety of forms. Carbon compounds form the molecular basis of all life on earth and are of fundamental importance for industrial processes, in organic chemistry and in biology.

Like the water cycle, the natural carbon cycle also has a vital function. Without the carbon cycle, there would be no life on earth, at least none as we know it. A highly sought-after form of pure carbon is the diamond .... learn more
