Ecosystem Services is a Developing Science FIeld

 Nearing the end of a course on ecosystem services I have discovered that much of the course is focused on how to get people interested in it rather than upon technical methods for evaluating ecosystem content. Since it is a growing field there can be much improvement in it from the scientific axis and that of politics and economics.

It may be that ecosystem services approaches to discovering how the ecosystem is valuable to people may support the exploitation and optimal use of the ecosphere overall rather than restoring it to a fully healthy state that isn't suffering a mass extinction in progress. part of the problem of keeping biological pluralism alive on Earth is in accurately measuring the quantity and species of life in existence. When an ecosystem has a wealth of species they not only interact, some exist to adapt to any environmental changes on Earth basically. With few species the opportunities for successful biological responses to physical challenges are fewer. People need necessarily pro-life for midst the spectrum of living things are those that benefit humanity and all life by supporting the existence of life on a given day when a particular challenge is presented.

Below are a pair of interesting web sites that work toward mapping ecosystem services and biological pluralism.

The Night of Living Dead Presidents

 In the year 2039 scientific medical breakthroughs enabled aged heroic Presidents to have their lives extended indefinitely in a semi-suspended animation period. Regarded as living dead mummies the first President to live to the age of one-hundred sixty had his blood removed and replaced with nanobytes of synthetic quantum data organelles receiving power from microwaves at low power penetrating the flesh of the cooled down leader enmeshed at two hundred degrees below zero fahrenheit with superconducting sensors penetrating his body.

The President was awakened from his dogmatic slumber on important occasions between snoozing for days in what became known as ‘The Hammock’. The Hammock was invented by a reclusive billionaire who owned outter space travel in effect after raking in trillions of dollars from high-energy electro-magnetic accelerators on Earth for orbital launches machine-gun quick and his network throughout the solar system that pushed and pulled space capsules to two thirds of the speed of light, The Hammock was a minor contribution of Bill Plates to the public welfare, and the President agreed with the program of Bill Plates to consolidate wealth safely into the hands of the man who bought the Earth’s ecosphere to regulate it at a constant, comfortable temperature of 68 degrees.

President Viden had served his nation for thirty two years in the highest office of the U.S.A. before the first rival to his power arrived; one Monica Hillary von Lubinwhurst, governor of Arkansaur. The resolution of the conflict between the two candidates for the 2073 general election will occur in two weeks when President Viden awakens from his nap to announce another run for the White House or retirement to his Presidential Library on Mars.

Ecosystem Services isn't a Self-Standing Solution to Ecospheric Degradation

Ecosystem services isn't a self-standing solution to ecospheric degradation. I suppose the ecosystem services approach could provide particular answers to particular 'stakeholders' (better to be the stake owner) by making surveys and quantifying conditions of a given eco-service. That doesn't mean that the ecosystem services approach is a comprehensive environmental policy that would correct degradation of the planetary ecosphere.

Maybe there is some kind of law of diminishing returns that is applicable to ecosystem services management approaches to conservation. Expecting the ecosphere to repair itself through continuing social interaction with it doesn't seem reasonable. Instead society converts everything into marketable mass with a UPC on it. That is degenerative in regard to the wild ecosphere rather than restorative.

If people utilize ecosystem services approaches to environmental restoration they should be aware that the method outside of a comprehensive planetary restoration plan of the ecosphere will not necessarily be weighted to benefit the environment for-itself so much as the 'stakeholders' or players interested in the service. Ecosystem services exemplified in this course do seem to be tailored to fit a capitalist economy, and capitalism itself is in dire need of correction and direction within a green objective regulatory paradigm.

Regulation of capitalism would let free enterprise solve ecological problems in the regulated paradigms for restoration or not net loss of ecosphere minimally. Free enterprise can best solve challenge-response Toynbee/Skinnerian criteria selecting from possible economic methods that could work to restore the planetary ecosphere. Ecosystem services analysis might be used to develop tax and business plan criteria with incentives for optimal use plans/bids in competition in the governed, directed, regulated free enterprise and limited capital paradigm (there would be a cap on the accumulation of wealth by individuals or networks at a low percent of national wealth).

Pres Biden Woke to Dangers of Balloon Orders It Shot Down After Mission Accomplished

The Biden administration apparently learned the danger of leaving technology intact that falls into the hands of the enemy like Hunter Biden's laptop and had the Chinese Spy Balloon shot down over the Atlantic ocean after it completed traversing the United States mission was accomplished. Getting the technology intact at any time might have been done before it entered the 48 states; even Alaska would have been a better place to grab the balloon with a drone of some kind sending a few bullets into the bag.

People wonder if Ukraine and China have the dope for Hunter Biden and President Biden so that he acts like the politician in The Godfather who woke up with a horse's head beside him in bed and thereafter served as the mafia's tool. Well, no matter, for with Democrats all roads lead to war while peace, balanced budgets and eliminating public debt are regarded as delusional things rational voters wouldn't think about.

Ecosystem Services- Should 'essential variables' serve special interest groups first?

Essential variables as standard candles for measuring ecosystem content need be independent and free of tailoring to special interest groups. The paradigm of satisfying stakeholders as special interest groups could generate ecospherically counterfactual data in regard to the best interests of humanity in its ecosphere. Humans probably should learn new building and living economic methods rather than perpetuate the system that is processing the ecosphere toward oblivion. Present necessary ecosystem services should be viewed as temporary measure utilized until the new paradigm of living synergistically with the ecosphere is actualized.

Yet not of it (poem)

 

Wandering the streets of time
cluttered with canisters
of mythic electrons
mud brick homes
aging dust of the world
sights sounds, mysteries
known and unknown
with troubles of inefficiencies
ecosystem servicing
allocations of everything
packaged, priced, calculated proplits
transversal rules for deposits-
the lines compile nothingness softly
with bar-coded rainbows
layered and striated
Meisner-infused sandwiched
talus slopes tumbling
dimensions falling apart
with nightfall within sagebrush
until shadows return
to silence.

Spy Balloon Vector Threats version 2

 The 'spy balloon' meandering at 60,000 feet over the U.S. is said by the Pentagon to be from China. It is a threat only insofar as it demonstrates a good position to release biological war vectors into the United States from above. Maybe a new variant of Covid 19 is being released in tiny caplets that survive descent and release on the ground, or some sort of weaponized pneumonic-plague-ebola hybrid. The Pentagon says it's not a threat.

China said that the sort of balloon observed couldn't survive the trip from China. Several China experts have denied that China released the balloon and that it probably was released by a commercial boat for weather observation. Apparently the balloon was under observation for several days traveling along the Aleutians and over Canada until reported hovering menacingly above Montana. The Pentagon said it is too dangerous to civilians to take down the balloon over populated areas; if that is the case why didn't they take it down several days ago over the ocean or the wilderness regions of the north? If it is releasing weaponized viruses or other advanced technology such as nano-gremlins to float on the currents to the ground the President feels it does not warrant capturing the balloon to see what's inside. They refuse to unbox the balloon and let the public know what's inside.

Those of the opinion the balloon isn't Chinese imply the balloon is a false flag stunt or propaganda tool of the Biden administration to intimidate Americans with a real Chinese threat invading hillbilly regions of the U.S. President Biden may need help for Americans to be made to believe that he is in good form on U.S. national security.

That Paragraph on Ecosystem Services

 An ecosystems services approach for governance of the ecosphere does seem somewhat reductionist missing out on conservation of wilderness values. Erosion of wilderness brings irrecoverable damage to the ecosphere. It should be possible anyway to have better and more accurate data on species living on Earth quantifiably speaking with drones and cell samples mapping all living species in an area. Drones and remote sensing with computational tabulating should be much better than simply measuring water and land biota quantitatively- The latter is rather crude although better than ignorance of course. Satellites are great surveillance devices and provide wonderful data in a variety of spectrums however they should be complimented with drones. Every living thing on Earth should be quantified as well as Noah knew the number of animals on his boat. There should be real time numbers for every living species to monitor there status. One might have the suspicion that ecosystem services could otherwise end up being a tool for capitalists to learn how to extract the most value from ecosystem services even as it declines overall.

Stocking Shelves (the poem)

Stocking shelves of poems with thought
salads of furies
with metaphors bought
wrangled misty cereal aisles
one crunch miffs another one’s style

Ice cream sailing ship root beer floats
inflated bread of yeasty jokes
scribbled lists cover stockers woke

Stanza’s reigned to low pressure cisterns
Ali Babas fed with magic beans
skyfalls drop to mulch units earned
more heavily flopped coordinated tat skeens

Paragraphs draw new air to the sea
surfaces shine as if meant to be.
