Remineralize the Earth

Synopsis of
The Survival of Civilization
by Don Weaver

Might "global warming" be the source of the energy to fuel the next cloudy and snowy glacial period--an eventual severe global cooling? Ecologist and engineer John D. Hamaker was convinced of it, having studied the current state of the Biosphere and the 25 glacial-interglacial cycles of the last 2.5 million years. It led him and co-author Don Weaver to publish The Survival of Civilization in 1982, to warn the world of this danger and to offer fundamental solutions to the complex problems involved in the regeneration of a late-interglacial demineralized soil and Biosphere.

Hamaker saw that this Interglacial Soil Demineralization and Retrogressive Vegetational Succession required humanity to reverse the ongoing soil depletion practices of most agriculture and forestry, and to wisely and generously replenish soils worldwide, restoring them to high mineral and fertility levels such as were known to produce the awesome forests and vegetation of the Climatic Optimum ca. 8000-5000 yrs. before present. This can be done not only by returning all available organic matter back to the soil, as organic farming recommends, but also through soil remineralization with complete mineral-spectrum rock mixtures such as found in natural glacial and river gravel mixes, finely ground into gravel dust. Single rock types like basaltic rock can be very beneficial for remineralization, but Hamaker urged us to use broad mixtures when practical to best copy Nature's method of creating Earth's most fertile soils. Remineralization insures all the biologically essential elements are present in a natural balance, thus freeing us from the addictive chemical "fertilizers" and biocides that destroy the soil.

Synopsis of
To Love And Regenerate The Earth: Further Perspectives on The Survival of Civilization
by Don Weaver

To Love And Regenerate the Earth is the latest, most comprehensive effort by The Survival of Civilization co-author Don Weaver to inform the world's ecologists, scientists, farmers, foresters, engineers--all citizens and political representatives--that the Hamaker Thesis linking soil demineralization-vegetation decline-forest fires-CO2 buildup-climatic destruction to a new glacial period is backed by abundant evidence and should inspire unprecedented holistic response.

To Love And Regenerate the Earth re-emphasizes that there is a way back from accelerating ecological and climatic disasters, soil depletion with consequent crop and health depletion, and today's unprecedented rates of cancer and other diseases of modern civilization. The way back is really a way forward to Earth renewed and revitalized by the best of human intelligence, wisdom, and generosity acting to remineralize our depleted soils, and to re-plant and regenerate the Earth while time may remain. (How logical that our historical lack of generosity has resulted in a critical lack of regeneration for humanity and our life-support systems.) ( Click here to read more of the synopsis... )
