I am in Australia, camped near Armidale NSW in a van and am working on writing the hardest introduction ever to my now 20 year long project to address what I now call Earth System Destruction as an ostracised pariah.
I could see that desertification would interact with global warming and accelerate both processes in early 2004, I was sick of the rat race by then and was considering going bush for a quiet short life but I knew it would all burn.
So I wrote to the premier of NSW, got a patronising reply, met my local state MP who was very unhelpful, corrupt as it turned out.
So I enrolled in the 4 year full time bachelor of Natural Resources Degree at 39 yo to study and check my understanding and develop ideas that had occurred to me, I am a practical engineer, Boilermaker, Jack of all trades and had watched landscapes being cleared and degrading.
Graduated in 2010 with first class honors for my thesis "Developing an integrated renewable energy and water supply and carbon management system for Australia as an alternative to fossil fuelled systems"
I can send a Dropbox link if it works here.
I was driven by nightmares of the fires that happened in 2019.
My system would have provided 150% of my projected water demand in 2020, lots of details.
And would have facilitated the restoration of Ecohydrological cycles and "Air conditioned Australia " as the late great John Kaye, NSW Greens MLC put it, only he and Tony Windsor, the former federal MP for New England engaged with my work, I missed my first day of Orientation week at UNE to meet him and discuss the problems.
After I had no success in engaging anyone or institution with my project I designed and negotiated a PhD to intercept nutrients plus CO2 in wastewater ponds for return to soils which was the only "black box" in the system summarised in my profile flowchart image.
It's last working title was "Monitoring and manipulating freshwater microalgae ecosystems to facilitate Ecologically Responsible Geoengineering and address major aspects of Anthropogenic Climate Change".
But the government changed just after I started and my corrupted university (on the record) became hostile.
I did all of the core work of a triple sized "PhD Innovation" stretched to encompass a multistage plankton size grading/concentrating/ harvesting apparatus I designed, constructed and successfully tested and wrote up and handed in.
But could not do a box ticking introduction in the morass of denial I was in and worked despite that.
Destroyed all my relationships and had to go bush after the fires and nasty things happened, before and after I went bush to finish my ~32 literature review topics needed to complete my utilitarian whole Earth/human System understanding, but never really understood people.
I was diagnosed with Autism about 3 years ago.
I now have a utilitarian understanding of the way modern people are dehumanised and divided to make us subject to the state in our structurally unjust, patriarchal system of exploitation.
Not encouraging..
But I am working on the 84th version of an introduction now that identifies and attempts to dismantle the egos that confine minds.
The title of what must now be a book is " How to Restore the Quality of Our Environment, or how to salvage a viable, survivable biosphere".
After the 1965 " Restoring the Quality of Our Environment" report, my birthyear present perhaps, it clearly covered all the major problems with very clear dire warnings about the enhanced greenhouse effect.
But much of my time is consumed by survival chores, I exhausted all my resources years ago but still have a lot of tools and my microalgae apparatus.
I may as well complete my "project report" even though I doubt people will wake up as they seem unfazed by the atrocities occurring in the crucible of civilisation where this civilisation has its destructive 12,000 year old roots.
Yes ~84 attempts is an estimate, I did about 30 formal attempts then started losing it.
I had handed in the core work, I monitored 3 town sewage oxidation pond systems for 14 months, Armidale, Walcha and Guyra, 3 ponds in the first two towns, Walcha only had one, on 28 day intervals, identified and measured ~130,000 microalgae, 158 species, discarded 50 species because of very low numbers, did Waterbury too but did not process that data because I had to build my filter.
When I encountered an inverse graphic biomass pyramid in most of the ponds - most of the time my originally proposed tub experiments would have been impossible due to low density of microalgae which reproduces rapidly but was being eaten by copepods etc.
They had become hostile and wanted to write me down to a Masters but I stretched it to a "PhD Innovation" and built my apparatus where I was living.
I yelled at the pro vice chancellor industrial relations when for the second time his eyes went blank halfway through me telling him the title of my PhD - he also went blank and said "long title" when I told him my honors thesis title.
One trick wonders in denial, and I was alone with my very clear understanding, I can model complex systems in my head which makes me try to avoid dreaming.
And I did not understand the emotional and cognitive limitations of most people.
I worked from home after yelling at the PVC industrial relations - a poultry expert.
And was treated with hostility by everyone.
So after I finished my ~32 literature review topics while in the bush I kept trying to introduce my massive project but had to address the elephant in the room all the academics and most other people were stuck inside.
And I was just accessing journal articles and reports and trying to understand why people were so thick or simply monsters.
I was alone in the bush by then, some close relatives tried to exploit me to erect a fence they had conned out of a wildlife charity so they could flog their block off to the highest bidder and have me commuted I suppose, I was stranded there at the top of blue mountain gorge over winter 2020, still researching and trying to engage people.
I had upset billionaires and monsters moved in across the creek where I used to live and murdered about 300 kangaroos my ex and I had fed through the drought and left 7 grievously wounded that I had to kill.
I tried to stop them, built a better 250 metre long fence then went bush after I had finished testing my filter, we had raised some of the kangaroos.
I was stuffed around by 4 different people while looking for a place to work away from people.
Now I am camped on a property near where I used to live, trying to avoid transactional enslavement by my host by doing work for nothing for my keep, I cost him nothing and am restoring a 113 year old shearing shed and doing maintenance on fences and decaying infrastructure but mostly caring for country and clearing fire hazards from habitat trees.
The fury and despair and all else in my mind are impossible to describe.
So it takes a while to get my head together some days.
My book needs several introductions - first to smash the egos and try to release minds, then an outline of my 20 year project, then "the evolution of our climate system" I have been giving drafts of that away for nearly 3 years now, then how addressing all the diverse damages coherently can leverage restorative results far greater than the sum of their parts and much faster than flat Earth spectators can imagine, apparently.
Then I will use one of my formal introductions before my PhD core chapters.
I only needed 5 literature review topics for my core PhD work.
But I did not want to submit " pearls before swine" when the swine are a major part of the problem so I must point that out up front.
My purpose is to solve a complex problem, whatever it takes our Earth is more important to me than myself, but I am only human.
My first coffee of the day has gone cold now.
I best wake up a bit more.
I might start putting some of my work on substack, I got the app yesterday when I decided to follow you.
I recall a chat a with you Bob a few years ago on Facebook I think it was. I recall getting a bit lost with your engineering ideas as my brain is not built that way. I live in southern Queensland these days and occasionally have to drive to Sydney so perhaps we'll bump into each other round Armidale. Cheers
It is a bit complicated to understand human infrastructure reformed to have beneficial environmental impacts and I have been working on how to explain that more clearly.
Even though our Earth System is in a very bad state and our leaders are worse than useless and it looks like the terminator movies might become a widespread reality, I might as well try to get my "Earth System Restoration" ideas out there.
I must get this app on my computer, and become familiar with it, the mobile signal is poor here but I am not far out of Armidale and perhaps we can catch up one day if you have a break from driving in Armidale.
It is a shame that warmongers seem to be running things and it seems like the majority do not care.
Most people prefer simple happy stories to facing reality.
Thank you Sarah.

For Our Earth❤🌏👊💙
Finish the report...!
Has it seriously entailed 84 attempted intros?
I've had paragraphs that have entailed as many false starts. You're not alone.
Thanks for sharing Bob. You're among friends.
PS Tony Windsor, I think, is a good man. I interviewed him on Wild.
Thank you Sarah.
Yes, Tony Windsor is awesome.

Haha! Love this. Let all of us here know if you meet up!
You have a good memory.
It is a bit complicated to understand human infrastructure reformed to have beneficial environmental impacts and I have been working on how to explain that more clearly.

Interesting times.
Yeah cool. So look me up on Zuckbook and send a message and we'll see what happens
Facebook crashed my phone when I tried.
Will give it another go later
