For birds, scarecrows are frightening. These could appear like human figures or other birds of prey: owls, hawks, or eagles. For people, these could still frighten little children but not adults except for those who lack certain intellect or are superstitious, belief not based on reason or knowledge or of the ominous significance of a particular thing, circumstance, occurrence, irrational fear of what is unknown or mysterious leading to blind acceptance and panic.
On the other hand, the greenhouse effect posts no visible direct warning sign threatening life on earth. Atmospheric scarecrow does not exist. However, indirectly gradual increased temperature affected ice formation in the Polar Regions and caused the rise of sea level, furthermore, dissolved gases of CO2, nitrogen oxide, and sulphur dioxide in rain, snow, or hail form respectively carbonic, nitric, and sulphuric acids. Their deposition damages plant growth, impairing ability for photosynthesis. Acid contamination in soil leached essential nutrients and runoff into rivers and lakes that eventually become unable to support fish life. All these start to destroy the bottom food chain. In the end, they also affect those at the top, namely the human populations.
Therefore, a pH scarecrow exists. It is the litmus test for the imbalance of positive ions (H+ or proton) and negative ions (OH- or hydroxide minus). This is fundamentally a test for acidity (red) vs. alkalinity (blue) for the health of an ecosystem. Logarithmically, a pH value of 7 indicates neutrality and its color should be green. Less than 7 mean increasing acidity. Greater than 7 mean increasing alkalinity. Neither of these extremes supports life. This fact suggests that the living plasma state of any ecosystem is a perfect balance between positive and negative, yin and yang, of electric charge, but not a balance of mass. As plasma transporters, negative OH- ion (atomic mass unit = 17) lag behind positive H+ ion (amu = 1), while H+ ion lag negative electron e- (amu » 0 or about 1/1836).

Great description of the environment AL, the kind of knowledge our planet needs.

A question or two:

Is it true to say that when Red (alkali) and blue (acid) are balanced or have reach an equalibrium state, nature is truly the healthiest and best?

And if so, then is it also true to say, that if man and nature or everything is united by a state of equality, the Earth, man, all things would be the healthiest and best?
If man can equate the ph of nature, why not everything?

Does balanced = equalibrium = green = life = health = one = TOE?

Thanks again,

My warrior friend,you are championing a most worthy cause,you indeed are becoming
the scarecrow,and the effects of these posts are percolating around the minds of its
readers,we each have a responsibility,I salute you for taking yours,and acting upon it.

I believe the health of this planet is simpler than the complexities of science, but rather only a human balance that is required. How many people can this little planet sustain, or, how many people can Earth balance or maintain at one-time? The human population is over 6.6 billion and growing. I believe sadly, and think it only obvious, that we are the cancer devouring this planet, its resources, as well as ourselves; nothing else can be blamed. The bi-products of mankind's over use and abuse, is the poisoning and killing of everything, air, land, oceans, plants, and animals, animals including ourselves. The health of Earth is the health of ourselves; we are one and the same. A healthy earth requires a natural self-sustainability; the overpopulation of mankind has tipped the scale well beyond a renewable balance. Is there enough food for everyone? No. Are the forests regenerating? No. Are the fish of the oceans still plentiful? No. Does water have time to naturally cleanse itself? No. Do plants have time to clean the air? No. Have we lost our own human value to overpopulation, to supply and demand, wow? Is it not obvious again? Is the Earth sick, does it have a fever similar to us when we get sick? Is the temperature rising, is it getting hot? Yes. While we attempt scientific and technological remedies, looking for the magic pill, the cure is simply, I think, self control. As we inhumanely attempt to manage and control everything else in nature, from the capture of wild horses and the thinning of forests, to the poisoning of insects, and the control of even water, we have lost self control of ourselves. Did man ever have it? It is only us in need of management, and truly in need of control.
How many people can the Earth sustain?
What about self-control, is it the cure, is the health of everything up to you and me?
