Before The Last Glacier Melts

Discussions regarding the formation of energy resources and the sustainability of reserves have recently drifted toward a trajectory that contradicts the fundamental principles of geological science. Arguments built upon the "abiotic oil" theory tend to interpret the global energy crisis and resource scarcity solely as market manipulation. However, this approach disregards the thermodynamic and biochemical laws governing petroleum formation. Contrary to popular belief, petroleum is not the product of macro-fauna (e.g., dinosaurs), but rather the result of microorganisms and plant matter deposited over millions of years. This organic matter, predominantly consisting of photosynthetic plankton, undergoes a chemical transformation under specific temperature and pressure conditions (the oil window) in anoxic (oxygen-free) environments. This process creates the complex hydrocarbon chains we utilize today. The abiotic theory argues that petroleum is continuously produced through in...

Human history is a saga of oscillation between the desire to dominate nature and the devastation wrought by that very ambition. Nowadays, whenever an extreme weather event occurs—be it a region submerged by floods or withered by drought—eyes immediately turn to the skies. Yet, this time, the gaze is not fixed on the natural form of the clouds, but on what humans "did" to them. Cloud seeding has ceased to be a mere scientific method; it has become a symbol of our collective fears and that perilous hubris: the delusion that "we control everything." Let us establish the scientific reality in its simplest terms: Cloud seeding is not a miracle that creates something out of nothing in the sky. If you do not have a cloud mass with the appropriate humidity, temperature, and microphysical conditions, no amount of silver iodide or dry ice will produce even a single drop of rain. This method is merely a microscopic nudge—an attempt to increase the precipitation efficiency of a...
