Mr Larry Fink, I take this time to pen my concerns regarding irreversible climate change on behalf of myself and future generations. For years companies have exploited the resources of the planet and manipulated media to whitewash real business activities. Agnotological science has been employed to obscure the urgency or even deny global warming and climate change. And unfortunately, such activities are not exceptional but rather the accepted way and costs of doing business.
The practice of image-washing and virtue signalling, of funding misdirection science, and the avoidance of quantifying and implementing true-cost economics are all symptoms of a sickness that essentially avoids the full scope and responsibility of leadership in favour of short-sighted profit. However, there's no denying that the public and I personally benefit from the abundance that result from such activity, and we must acknowledge our share of responsibility.
The misdirection away from anthropogenic driven climate change is so pervasive and effective, huge pockets of the world don’t even care or believe that we’re accelerating toward catastrophe. The ignorance of fundamental physics and mistrust in science presents a cognitive dissonance that denies the origin of the technology that surrounds us. In some cases their belief systems place faith in a saviour or faith in a global conspiracy. To make matters worse, the truth about irreversible climate change is hidden. So perhaps there is a kernel of truth to both these claims, especially given the reality humanity faces and only time will reveal if we survive our collective stupidity? Do we save ourselves?
I ask you to honestly access the situation. “can you and your associates drive real change?”
In other words, “is Davos merely virtue signalling?”
Because the practices outlined above are so deeply ingrained, and the model of responsibility at the highest level fails to meet the standard of real cost economics, and because the public are willing participants that benefit directly and indirectly from the practices, in my opinion the odds favour “a lost world” because there’s no collective will for real change. Honestly Mr Fink, is there anything in this world you want to protect, because the leadership responsibility falls to you and the others of Davos; who else can implement sustainable business practices at the highest level?
A few pockets of activity do not signify the critical mass needed to meet the Paris Accord objectives by 2050. And in truth the Paris Accord doesn’t go far enough as it is ignorant of the irreversible-change and compounding effects due to mass loses. The recent COP26 commitment failure to reducing coal consumption by Australia, USA, China and India is just one example that illustrates the point; and the change in entropy due to burning coal can only result in mass losses –a real consequence of burning coal.
However, I don’t believe the situation is irredeemable. I acknowledge the courage required to stand up to the bull and artfully dissipate its rage. I acknowledge the exceptional skill set needed to forge a leadership role capable of withstanding the test of time and disseminating its influence to the public. I also acknowledge that you and probably most of those at Davos will not collectively drive society to make the transition. And I also acknowledge that the most likely response to the content of this letter will have a dismissive tone in favour of business as usual. So I give a simple equation that proves the hidden problem and forces a confrontation with reality.
The decrease
in Earth’s mass due to anthropogenic activity has a direct causal and irreversible
impact on climate change – And though the following equation lacks the rigour of
the many-body solution, it is sufficient to reveal the true monster of climate
change. Also, I want future generations to know full disclosure was placed here for everyone to see:
Now there’s no excuse. Time to face the fire dragon!
From Newton’s and Kepler’s laws, the total energy of the earth-sun system expressed in terms of positive kinetic energy and negative potential energy is
Here we see energy conservation is maintained only when the decreasing function (delta-arrow) operating on the Earth’s mass simultaneously operates on the radius R (distance separating the earth and sun) by the same ratio. In other words, the earth is getting closer to the sun, and the changes are irreversible by our current engineering capacity. There’s no denying this bottom line, its physical reality! It gets worse; there are compounding effects due to the increased irradiative-forcing accelerating loses - in other words, our oceans will eventually evaporate into space. To the concerned public: Don't panic, there's hope!
I have defined an energy technology capable of transitioning the world away from fossil fuels and the reality of this work will soon be apparent to the masses. It needs support, and this blogspot is about documenting the startup journey and generating that support.
Mr Fink, I've demonstrated plain and simply the reality facing mankind and we face a mammoth task to safeguard the future. I’m well aware of your role in minimizing the impact of the 2008 crash, and the general regard for your financial genius. It’s plainly obvious that your support will go a long way to ensure the growth needed to transition our global economies to a sustainable future. The business sector needs to drive the change.
My own country is a good testing ground for developing the revolutionary energy technology. Once all of the teething problems are sorted, your help to take it global as quickly and efficiently as possible will be advantageous Mr Fink.
To all the climate warriors: Thank you.
