Biogeochemistry Debunked

Buzzwords are all those big words that actual scientists use, but you don't even know how to find their definitions. You certainly never succeeded in an environment where someone with knowledge taught these things, and required you to prove that you learned them.

You can fraudulently call yourself a "chemist", if that helps you cope with your struggles. In our "woke" society, people should accept your right to self identify as a chemist, regardless of what you actually were before making the unilateral declaration.

Buzzwords have no meaning or definition, Robert. Science isn't buzzwords.
You can't blame your buzzwords on me or anybody else.

There is no such thing as 'biogeochemistry'. You can't acidify an alkaline.

You STILL haven't described what is 'changing' in climate.

Here is where that "no such thing" stuff actually rings true.

There is NO SUCH THING as "an alkaline". "Alkaline" is an adjective describing one chemical property of any substance with pH greater than 7.0

"An alkaline" would be an undefined noun, not recognized in chemistry.

Ask Google, "What is the definition of 'an alkaline' in chemistry?"

Google notices the obvious mistake in the question and answers with the correction:

"An alkali is a water-soluble base, usually a hydroxide of an alkali metal or alkaline metal, that forms a solution with pH greater than 7."

Google corrected the term to "alkali" because THAT is the NOUN used for it. The term "alkaline" also appears, but as "alkaline metals". Alkaline metals are the column in the Periodic Table that includes calcium and magnesium, and they all form divalent (2+ charge) cations in salts or bases.

Although there is NO SUCH THING as "an alkaline", there most certainly IS such a thing as "biogeochemisty".

Google just the single word "biogeochemistry" and the definition shows up on the upper left. Going down the list, it shows plenty of credible references that all spell out essentially an identical definition for the accepted term in science.

NO PLACE does Google suggest that there might not actually be such a thing.

BIOGEOCHEMISTRY is also the name of the prestigious scientific journal where one of my most famous papers got published.

Into the Night is free to believe anything he wants, but STOP SPAMMING.

Google is not God or sentient, but it has access to ACCURATE chemistry information.

Google inquiry: "Is there such as thing as 'biogeochemistry'?"

Google's reply leaves no room for doubt.

There IS such a thing as "biogeochemistry" and it would be highly relevant in an actual discussion of the science of climate change. If such a discussion ever got out of the starting gate. But wait, I heard somewhere that CLIMATE CANNOT CHANGE, so I guess there is nothing else to say about it.

There is no such thing as 'biogeochemistry'. Science is not 'recognition'. Buzzwords are not crucial. Science is not a 'discipline'. You deny theories of science, including the 1st law of thermodynamics. You think a Magick Holy Gas can somehow create energy out of nothing.

Carbon is not a cycle. Nitrogen is not a cycle. There is no such thing as 'geochemistry'.

Biogeochemistry is a religious movement based on a personality, i.e. the failed Russian chemist Vladimir Vernadsky, whose last-ditch effort for recognition spawned a bizarre metaphysical earth movement. As with most religious movements, the worshipers point to Vernadsky's having been a chemist as legitimizing the religion as science. Since Vernadsky focused on crystals and minerals, the movement's followers invented the term "geochemistry" as the branch of science under which they claim their faith should be categorized. Fast forward to modern-day, the movement felt it necessary to add the "bio" prefix, i.e. "biogeochemistry", in order to better poach members from other Church of Green, Church of Global Warming and Church of Climate Change denominations, as well as to more effectively convert fellow Marxists who might be sitting on the fence before they get snapped up by some other church.

Vladimir Vernadsky made no contributions to science, which is why you have never studied any of his work. Vernadsky tried his hand at producing some falsifiable models, but they were quickly falsified by more proficient and more knowledgeable scientists. However, as is the case in the world of academics, Vernadsky's "research" was nonetheless sufficient to earn him several academic positions that did not require any sort of accomplishments. He was appointed head of the Museum of Mineralogy and Geology in St. Petersburg and later he was made the head of the University of Simferopol in Kiev. Good for him.

Ergo, the Biogeochemistry faith (capitalized because it is the name of a religion) is not based on any science. It is based on the metaphysics of the Noosphere (capitalized because it is the name of the sacred deity). In this faith, the Noosphere is the deity and the global climate is just one of its appendages, i.e. a thing.

The Noosphere is the planetary sphere of the mind, or the thinking layer of planet Earth. To grasp the idea of the Noosphere we must elevate our consciousness and open ourselves to the most general, elemental and cosmic principles of life on Earth.[Book Cover]

As the mental sheathe of the planet, the Noosphere characterizes mind and consciousness as a unitary phenomenon. This means that the quality and nature of our individual and collective thoughts directly affects the Noosphere and creates the quality of our environment—the biosphere.

As the Earth's "mental sheathe," the Noosphere represents the breakthrough to a new consciousness, a new time and a new reality arising from the biospheric crisis. This is known as the Biosphere-Noosphere evolution.

Just as the biosphere is the unity of all of life and its support system, the Noosphere is the unity of all mind and its thinking layers. In this way the Noosphere can be understood as the sum of the mental interactions of all life. Within the Noosphere exists the evolutionary control panels, known as the psi bank, the storage and retrieval system for all the mental programs.

As the next stage of evolution of the terrestrial biosphere, the Noosphere signifies the advent of a qualitative/dimensional shift - the passage from one state to another. This is the main investigative topic of the Noosphere II project.

This perspective of the Noosphere, as an evolutionary event, has been scientifically anticipated by Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, the noted French paleontologist, as well as his colleague (with whom he jointly coined the word noosphere in 1926), Russian geochemist, Vladimir Vernadsky (see The Theory and History of the Noosphere).

"The historic process is changing dramatically before our eyes ... Mankind taken as a whole is becoming a powerful geological force. Humanity's mind and work face the problem of reconstructing the biosphere in the interests of freely thinking mankind as a single entity. This new state of the world we are approaching without noticing it is the 'Noosphere.'"
- V.I. Vernadsky
