A Coming Worse Pollution?

Rongqing Dai

Historical experience has shown time and again that when it comes to the issue of damaging the earth's environment, the scientists of this world have often been swift in doing it but slow in regretting the consequence. This is a sad fact in the history of industrialization when it is supposed to (and does) benefit the mankind.

A few centuries ago, when the first industrial revolution began, scientists had no idea at all that carbon dioxide, a trace gas in the atmosphere, would one day be the subject of worldwide emissions control. But now when the world is crying out about too much carbon dioxides in the atmosphere, scientists once again are working very hard by spending billions of dollars in something that could potentially be the preparation for another round of future air pollution, a possibly much worse kind of pollution than the carbon dioxides, without seemingly aware of it.

Today a hot scientific headline is the global competition rushing to make fusion power plants possible. Several scientific groups have optimistically predicted that they would make some breakthrough in achieving net power output with their fusion power generators.

However, it is well known that the process of fusion power generation is turning deuterium from the ocean to helium in the atmosphere [[1]].

While scientists are claiming that helium is a harmless clean gas they seem to have forgotten also to tell us the following facts about it:

As the second most abundant gas in our four-dimensional universe, helium is pretty much impossible to eliminate from nature. Compared with carbon dioxide, helium is not only too light to be comfortably collected, but also too inert to be absorbed through chemical means; accordingly, there is NO natural process in Earth's nature that can turn helium into gases good for human health, as photosynthesis does with carbon dioxide.

As an asphyxiant gas, despite its current harmless status in nature, the accumulative effect of diluting oxygen and nitrogen in earth atmosphere in large quantity could be severely pernicious decades later if it happens at a fast pace.

The most worrisome aspect of constantly turning the deuterium of our seawater into helium in the atmosphere is that the process is basically irreversible, that is to say the end results are accumulated monotonically. With this natural logic, the dilution of oxygen and nitrogen concentrations in the atmosphere by helium could be negligible if the concentration of helium grows at a negligible pace, or threatening if the concentration of helium grows at a threatening pace.

Although currently the normal concentration of helium in our atmosphere is only 5ppm, and scientists claim that only a very small amount of deuterium will be used at any moment for the fusion reaction, they seem to forget that the might of global industrial mass production is not the experimental scale in their labs can match at all. Besides, they seem also to forget the famous Jevons paradox [[2]] which tells that industrial production itself would greatly beef up the desire of consuming of the products and thus further greatly boost the production! Plus, there is NO natural process to reduce the concentration of helium as photosynthesis does with carbon dioxide.

Given the difficulty of eliminate helium from nature, in case decades from now we find out that the atmosphere is filled with helium pollution as the result of the scientific community's own obsession of the advanced technology and their own fame, it may not be as easy to fix as reducing carbon emissions is today.

“….when the public embraces those achievements of science and technology as miracles and longs for the coming of the next ones, people often ignore one sad fact that as the ancient dreams come true, their potential negative social impacts could also become true.”

[的確如此但那又如何]

或許人類只是地球這一段時間的主流物種，主宰者從來不是我們

[慕容青草]

回复 '的確如此但那又如何' 的评论 : 我也邀请academia.edu那位当初对我的电离式飞碟猛发评论，扯什么O2,O3,O4,O5,O6,O7的那位很像外星人的Atom Team来对本文在academia.edu的讨论发评论，她根本不搭理。。。。这说明，假如她是外星人的话，也不表明她一定是要保护地球。。。。

[慕容青草]

回复 '的確如此但那又如何' 的评论 : 1）现有的UFOLOGY确实声称有很多外星人来到地球。。。那个Beilek不就这么声称的吗？

2）我并没有根据他们是否保护环境和破坏环境来判断他们是否为外星人。。。而是根据他们的表现的其它特征以及他们支持或反对的逻辑来判断。。。比如，2013年车里雅宾斯克陨石事件中的那颗高速穿透陨石的小飞行物，我就判断那极可能是外星人，因为人类没有那样的技术。。。。而我认为那个事件的真实性极大，原因有二：a)事件发生的当天，台湾的傅鹤鸣教授就在关键时刻节目上放出了那颗小飞行物穿透陨石的视频。。。我那时还不像现在这样习惯性的上YouTube，所以我最初是从他们那里看到那个小飞行物的。。。我不相信在事件发生的当天的举世震惊中会有人去把那个视频作假，台湾和车里雅宾斯克离的很近，恐怕没人的动作会这么快。。。b)后来我自己上网也查到了不止一个频道拍下了那颗小飞行物；3）几年后，相关视频在网上消失得干干净净，再也找不到----这不像是一般人能做到的。。。。

而车里雅宾斯克背后的外星人就在保护地球环境。。。。但是，我们也听到过很多外星人绑架甚至杀害地球人的报导。。。。此外，我也一再怀疑刘欣慈一语成谶---外星人或许确实如他所设定的那样在故意限制人类物理学的发展。。。。

3）我的这种判断当然不可能都很准。。。。原因很简单：人类文明本身就经常会做出一些莫名其妙的非理性的行为。。。。比如，我这里举出的脸书环保群组中跳出来呛我的贴子的三个人当中一个后来说他认为我误解了他。。。。他说他支持核聚变而我也支持核聚变。。。。莫名其妙。。。。我的贴子明显是反核聚变的他还以为我是支持核聚变的。。。如果他以为我们的立场相同，他又为什么要呛我？。。。。你说他到底时外星人故意装傻，还是地球人就那么莫名其妙？

[的確如此但那又如何]

一時候說外星人提醒污染，一時候說外星人使地球遭受威脅。
照你意思推測，地球潛在不止一方的外星勢力

又一个troll网军跳出来了：

看来揭露潜在的氦气污染让某些暗黑势力害怕了。。。。什么样的暗黑势力会希望地球被不可逆地污染呢？我认为应该是外星人。。。。

[慕容青草]

1) 我有充分的理由认定那两个人是troll而不是一般的人员；

2）我之所以感到他们可能是外星人是因为他们的理由荒唐的完全不像是站在地球人的角度说话，而像是外星人给地球人洗脑。。。。。其中一个说地球的氦气会散发到系外星球的所以不要担心。。。我问他散发速度有多快，他说几十亿年吧。。。。另一个说，核聚变成不了，所以不用担心氦气污染，我问他：既然明知成不了，你为什么不去告诉他们别浪费几十亿美金努力地让它成功却要来怼我这里警示核聚变的潜在威胁的人？？？

而troll网军不是随便出来的，要么是拿了钱出来的，要么是老板派他们出来的。。。你懂的。。。。所以，这两个网军跳出来变着法地为潜在的不可逆地毁坏地球的氦气污染辩护的行为一定是背后的势力指派的。。。。而什么样的势力会喜欢看到地球遭受威胁呢？应该不是地球人。。。。所以我怀疑他们是外星人。。。。。

[慕容青草]

哇，居然又有第二个troll网军跳出来说，不用担心，核聚变太阳能造不出来，所以不会有氦污染的问题。。。难道那是一个外星人群组？

[慕容青草]

当我将本文的一部分贴在脸书的一个环保群组里后，居然会有网军troll出来故意散步不实信息来误导读者。。。有哪个地球人会希望地球有灾难呢？难道是外星人动起来了吗？：
