Earths suffering from blood poisoning


I hold the belief that Earth is a living entity and that the oceans are to her as our blood is to us.

Its not news that the oceans are changing. Some argue the change is largely natural and not due to Human activity. Most of the people who do not believe Humanity is harming Earth are either dependent on the industrial status quo or owned by them.

Most of us are all growing tired of hearing how bad things are getting in every direction. I know I am. I am so sad and disappointed with myself I can hardly rise from my pallet to look at the news again. I'm not doing any thing to fix any thing.

Now I see that the very blood of the Mother of all life is far worse of than even the environmentalists had thought. The International Programme on the State of the Ocean (IPSO) is saying "The Ocean has already absorbed more than 80% of the heat added to the climate system and around 33% of the carbon dioxide emitted by humans. Ecosystems are collapsing as species are pushed to extinction and natural habitats are destroyed. Scientists believe that there is still time to prevent irreversible, catastrophic changes to our marine ecosystems but that this requires drastic action within a decade."

The IPSO has outlined problems and solutions but the way I feel today I just don't hold out much hope. As populations of Humans become more and more desperate for food and money they tend to disregard laws and take what they can any way they can. Collectively Humanity seems to act much like a bacteria devouring a piece of food. Unchecked we will poison ourselves long before we starve to death
