climate cycles and glaciology
.

Biography

Background

Hamaker was born in

organic agriculture based on soil remineralization, and was the first to call for the remineralization of the Earth to forestall the next glacial period within the current ice age cycle. He produced a book, The Survival Of Civilization, in 1982, republished in 2002[3] as Remineralize The Earth.[4]

Early developments

In the 1970s, a series of scientific conferences concluded that the world's climate was

soils
.

According to his writings, in 1976, Hamaker spread rock dust on part of his 10 acres (40,000 m2) in

chemical fertilizers
.

The Survival Of Civilization

In 1982, he produced with

atmospheric carbon dioxide to a normal interglacial level near 280 ppm, to help slow the glacial advance.[20]

The

scientists and regarded as a blueprint for restoring the planet's ecological integrity by the worldwide remineralization movement.[21]

Testimonials

Endorsing the book,

Herbert Shelton, both in his books and in Hygienic Review, emphasised the importance of soil remineralization in creating a Hygienic Agriculture."[23]

In support of the book, The Earth Renewal Society presented a statement to a

Discoveries and inventions

Rock medicine

Hamaker believed remineralizing the world's soil with rock dust, a

fungal attacks.[25] For Hamaker and Andersen, minerals were the primal food for micro-organisms which provided life and health
for the soil.

Rock grinders

Hamaker invented an

autogenous rock grinder, designed to grind rock upon rock with minimal wear of metal parts, and a macro version, both for creating rock dust. The full design for the rock grinder was described in The Survival Of Civilization and Donald Weaver's To Love And Regenerate The Earth. On 19 October 1984, China's Research Institute of Forests accepted a copy of Hamaker's rock grinder patent papers, since at the time, China was taking the lead in reforestation programs.[26]

Glacial threat

Hamaker believed in a distinct and imminent threat of a new glacial period, following a long series of glaciations in the

food crisis
, by assisting the planet's ability to geophysiologically self-regulate, and potentially, postpone the next glaciation indefinitely.

Volcanic El Ninos

Hamaker also believed that increased

El Nino
phenomenon.

Corroborated findings

In 1983,

UK scientists published an article in Nature which stated that the last glacial period began when the CO2 in the atmosphere reached about 290ppm, and that the world was already ahead of that figure at a critical 343-345 ppm. Hamaker explained the significance of Shackleton's findings in Acres USA:[2] "CO2 has its primary importance as the initiator of glaciation. Once an extensive ice field is established, its cooling effect maintains the temperature differential which keeps glaciation going. Variations in the amount of CO2 simply cause variations in the world albedo, but they do not stop or start glaciation. The world is committed to glaciation when the ice fields alone reflect enough sunlight to ensure cooling."[26]

On 3 June 1984, Hamaker appeared on Ted Turner's Atlanta Superstation declaring that increased high-latitude albedo is what initiates glacial advances/retreats. He was citing Sir George Simpson's 1938 analysis on ice ages[34] and later commentary by Richard Somerville and Lorraine Remer of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in their article in the Journal of Geophysical Research: "It's that cloud that you have to worry about because it's reflecting 80% of the sun's energy back into space and it's never becoming effective in warming the Earth. So we're getting cooling as the result of the carbon dioxide buildup."[35] Around this time, Scientific American summarized: "They (Somerville & Remer) suggest the global warming might be lessened by concurrent changes in the properties of clouds... Denser clouds will reflect a larger proportion of incoming solar radiation; the reduction in the energy reaching the surface will counteract the greenhouse effect."[36]

Also in 1984, Robert Beckman produced The Downwave citing the studies of Dr.

Raymond Wheeler and its climate-societal implications.[37]

In 2007, climatologist George Kukla, expressed support for the belief in an imminent ice-age.[38]

Remineralization benefits

Influence

John D. Hamaker's work inspired a growing

citizens
.

Remineralize the Earth

In the 1980s, Hamaker became a

non-profit organization's incorporation
in 1994.

Remineralize the Earth began promoting the regeneration of soils and forests worldwide with finely ground rock dust as a sustainable alternative to chemical fertilizers and pesticides. As well as

ecological balance
and stabilizing the climate.

In 1994, the

Washington DC
.

In 1995, Campe coordinated a two-year research project with the University of Massachusetts Amherst into remineralization.

In Campe's letter to

Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute
shared the concern.

Campe was invited by the

U.S. State Department
to speak at the Washington International Renewable Energy Conference 2008.

In 2009, the Global Coral Reef Alliance invited RTE to produce a chapter for the DVD ROM book The Green Disk: New Technologies for A New World, being distributed to all

U.N. delegates at the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP15) in Copenhagen during December 2009.[51]

RTE's Real Food Campaign, directed by Dan Kittredge, is a project promoting nutrient rich food and creating a new standard for food quality. Award-winning ecological designer,

hardwoods, fruit trees and jatropha, which produces a sustainable biofuel
while regenerating the soil.

Sustainable Ecological Earth Regeneration

Inspired by Hamaker, in the 1990s, Cameron and Moira Thomson set up the charitable trust Sustainable Ecological Earth Regeneration (SEER)[3] in Scotland, to develop the ideas which Hamaker founded.[52]

In Paul Kelbie's article Remineralization Might Save Us From Global Warming,

biosequestration by soil organisms and vegetation. The theory captured the attention of NASA who were researching the growing of plants on other planets.[55]

For SEER, as well as producing high yields, and re-balancing the Earth's ecology and

geophysiology, rock dusting also brought nutritional benefits due to the enrichment of crops, and so benefits to human health.[56]

But the SEER centre has been frustrated in their hopes to provide

Glasgow University (2009) found that rock dust made no difference to crop yield or nutrient-content in the test conditions.[57]

Regenerate The Earth

In 2002, 20 years after Hamaker's book was published, Donald Weaver produced To Love And Regenerate The Earth, an update on Hamaker's book, which was published by Remineralize The Earth[58] and re-published in 2006 by Soiland Health.org.[59] The new book clarified ideas raised in the original book whilst providing new evidence from the 1990s and 2000s to show the direction of climate and environmental change.

Weaver considered Hamaker a broad synthesist in the fields of ecology and climate, who recognized how the forests and the

geologists from Denmark in the book The Holocene by Neil Roberts.[60][61][62]

Institute For A Future

In the mid-1980s, author, and

clinical psychologist, Larry Ephron, set up the U.S. based Institute For A Future and wrote The End: The Coming Ice Age & How We Can Stop It,[63] which examined the theory and themes raised in Hamaker's book[64] citing climatologist Reid Bryson, of the University of Wisconsin: "Breakthrought never come from within the establishment."[65]

The book specifically examined man's influence on nature and climate change.[66] Topics covered included astrophysics, climatology, geology, glaciology, microbiology, paleobotany, paleontology, palynology, plate tectonics, soil remineralization, seismology, soil science, solar physics and human survival.

Ephron showed how climatologists such as

atmospheric physicist who noted the important link between soil and climate.[67] NASA climatologist James Hansen was also noted as saying "it is not certain whether CO2 warming will cause the ice sheets to shrink or grow. For example, if the ocean warms but the air above the ice sheets remains below freezing, the effect could be increased snowfall, net ice sheet growth."[68]

In the book,

National Geographic: "The ice age, which has really not left the planet for two million years, is reasserting itself. The warm time... is over. The next great return of ice has begun." and Paul Gersper, Professor of Soil Science, University of California: "The actions recommended here are urgently needed to avoid global disaster."[citation needed
]

A film was made of the book called Stopping The Ice Age in 1988, which Ephron co-produced and directed.

New Energy Movement

In the 1980s, a contemporary of Hamaker, Alden Bryant,

new energy movement. After attending many international conferences on climate issues, Bryant set up the New Energy Movement organization.[citation needed
]

Further proponents

Several books citing remineralization have been published including The Tree War: How to Save the Earth and Bring Together the Nations,[72] The Enlivened Rock Powders,[73] The Secrets of the Soil,[74] Empty Harvest[75] and The Secret Life Of Plants.[76]

In the late 1980s, Peter von Fragstein of the University of Kassel, Germany, began researching remineralization with many different rock types as a slow-release fertilizer and to deter insects.

Hamaker's research also complemented work by

subtle energy.[80]

In the 1990s, the

seedlings of one variety of eucalyptus
, compared to the untreated controls.

Barry Lynes wrote Climate Crime in 1985 chronicling the case for global cooling,

glaciation, expressed by Hamaker and Bryant, which he documented at Ice Age Now.[82]

In the 2000s,

NCAR scientist Dr. Lee Klinger [4] began to investigate the relationship between rock dust and plant growth to save dying trees,[83][84][85] and NASA began to experiment with lunar soil, plant growth and hydrophonics.[86]

In 2001, Alanna Moore wrote the book Stone Age Farming: Eco-Agriculture for the 21st Century[87] which combined remineralization with permaculture for a new eco-agricultural paradigm.

In 2005, Allan Yeomans documented in Priority One, the potential to bring atmospheric carbon to pre-industrial levels within 5 years, through remineralization of the world's agricultural lands. For Yeoman, as well as reducing global CO2 levels to safe levels, it would revitalize the soil and biological life on the planet, and increase human nutrition and health levels.[88]

In 2006, British author Graham Harvey produced the book We Want Real Food which documented the results of remineralization, in terms of soil health and nutritional values in food, and documented major declines in the mineral content of crops.[89]

Rocks for Crops

In 2007, the research organization Rocks for Crops

Brasilia
(Brazil).

The group confirmed that a branch of geology called agrogeology, originating at the University of Guelph, was evolving, since Von Straaten published the book Agrogeology: The Use of Rocks for Crops and Rivera produced the book and video, Manual Práctico ABC de la Agricultura Orgánica y Harina de Rocas,[91] which described how to regenerate overcultivated soils with rock dust. The science was developing in Germany, Canada and USA, and being researched in Brazil, Tanzania and the Canary Islands. Other university researchers included professors William Fyfe and Ward Chesworth.

The science of agrogeology is the study of natural geological materials suitable for restoring soils as an alternative to chemical fertilizers, particularly for worn out tropical soils. Due to intense tropical

ion-exchange capacity of soils while forming new clay minerals.[92]

In November 2009, a Rocks for Crops conference was held in Brasilia with 170 participants to discuss the new science. Further conferences were held in Rio de Janeiro and in Mexico, in December 2009 for the study and promotion of remineralization worldwide.[93]

Legacy

Hamaker conducted the groundwork for a mass movement of people concerned about the health of the world's soils, sustainable forests, climate change and improved nutrition from food. His proposal,

organic carbon to be mineralized as sediment
before being weathered to soil.

Writings

Hamaker's main book was The Survival Of Civilization (1983, 2002).[95] He also produced various articles and publications from the 1960s to the 1990s. His ideas were further elucidated by Donald A. Weaver in his book To Love & Regenerate The Earth (2002),[96] and in articles for publications including Living Nutrition magazine,[97][98][99][100][101] resulting in the publication of the e-book "Regenerate the Earth!: Nature's Call to Remineralize Our Soil, Re-Green Our Land, Rescue Our Climate and Restore Our Health" by Vibrance!,[102] in 2001. Weaver remains involved in education campaigns to alert humanity to the climate crisis and foundational rock dust solution.

Criticisms

Energy

Hamaker's hypothesis is criticised because fossil fuel energy is potentially required to create and distribute rock dust, and this generates CO2 when derived from fossil fuel, however, rock dust is predominantly a byproduct of the existing aggregate and quarrying industries [103] Future rock dust production for broad-scale soil remineralization can be powered by renewable sources, such as wind energy and bio-fuels grown on remineralized soils.

Climate control

Since land is naturally fertilized in glacial periods, remineralizing the Earth would emulate the glaciation process, allowing the reversal of what Hamaker and Weaver referred to as the interglacial soil demineralization and retrogressive vegetational succession (decline in the

Yuk Yung, Nigel Calder,[107] Henrik Svensmark,[108] Eigil Friis-Christensen, Knud Lassen[109] and Alexander Chizhevsky[110] who have cited variations in the sunspot cycle as the dominant mechanism in climate cycles on Earth, not vegetation,[111][112][113]
have yet to incorporate the demineralization dimension.

More than a

mini ice age in 2013–2041, Hamaker's immediate concern was the shortening of the growing season from the coming glacial period, which he believed could be forestalled through rock dusting, resulting in more abundant yields at harvest
. He believed the coming glacial period would preceded by an interglacial-to-glacial transition phase already underway since the 1970s, and strongly advocated an intensive global co-operative soil remineralization effort to maintain the quantity of food while improving its quality. To achieve this, he recommended simultaneous remineralization of dying forests and soils, also needed to grow bio-fuels, as part of a goal to return excessive carbon dioxide to stable interglacial levels of 280 ppm.

Carried in clouds to the higher latitudes, this moisture falls as increasing rain during the spring and fall and as increasing snow during the winter. Thus, winters get longer and colder, and there are more devastating floods in the spring."
