Yesterday, I spent at a Manet exhibit. It was a very good one and it got me thinking about our precious planet. I was thinking about what is taking place in 2012. The Northern Ice Cap is melting. The North Pole is now an island. The levels of our oceans and seas are rising. I believe this is a combination of the cycles of our planet and the poor care we are taking of our planet.
As the water levels rise, we will see a worsening of storms and their damage. Lower Manhattan is in a dangerous position and the damage from Sandy will look small in the future. The Carribean Islands will face flooding danger and Hawaii. In Europe, there will be certain flooding and danger in Venice and other land that is lower and therefore will easily flood. The icepack in Antartica is melting much faster than scientists have expected. This does not bode well for any of us.
We are adding many chemicals to the atmosphere. I have Asthma and live in Northern America, I watch the air quality reports and in the past there was only concern in the summertime. Now, in the winter, there are alerts for sensitive people.
At the present time, we are experiencing many more severe storms. It is pure denial to ignore the scientific research that scientists are doing. I know that not all scientists agree but they all feel we are adding toxic emissions into the atmosphere. The problem that I see, is if we don’t take the advise of the scientists, if they are correct about the amount of damage we might suffer, we could end up with a dead planet. Which means that all the animals and people will die. As sad and awful as this prospect is, we could hardly complain because we have been warned,
Yes, some of the changes scientists are suggesting can be expensive. Truthfully, do you want to have to explain to those alive then why the planet is dying and so are they. It seems an easy choice for me. Death or listening to the people actually doing the research.
Now, the politicians have many opinions but I don’t trust them to make the right decisions for the people. Would you when they can’t even work together to write a budget? I really don’t want to end my life carrying the guilt that I could have done more and yet I did not.
Our planet is filled with so much beauty and has been a wonderful planet for us to live on. We don’t want to damage that. So we need to work together with the scientists to find out what can be done within each and every portion of the world to begin the work of saving Mother Earth. There will be catastrophe if we do not take heed and work to heal our planet.

If you think Global Warming is just a Liberal/Progressive talking point, you get the prize for “Monday’s Dumbass Of The Day”. It’s real people.
Hello, thanks for the reblog and the comments. That was a strong voice. Stronger than mine. Good for you.
I have been told I have a strong voice…. 😉
America is the cleanest industrial nation on the planet. Polar ice is actually on the increase. The Earth has seen increase and decreases in temps long before man had even invented the wheel. There is nothing wrong with trying to keep the environment we live in as clean as possible, but the folks who are screaming the loudest, like Al Gore, are the ones who are making huge financial gains from this racket..
Thank you for your opinion. I am afraid we will have to agree to disagree. Hugs, Barbara
No problem…..:) Hugs back at you my friend.
Ignoring our continued decimation of the earth will destroy the opportunity for humanities survival. Yet, here we go onward with our destructive behavior.
Well done.
It is amazing how many people who totally are ignoring the facts. hugs, Barbara
We really need to begin changing things before this beautiful is dead.
I often wonder if capitalism leads to innevitable environmental destruction considering that capitalism is based on selling people more and more stuff to make more profits. For example cars are not built to last like they used to be because if cars were built to last then companies wouldnt make much money because they wouldnt be able to keep selling cars. Sellig more and more stuff requires more and more resource depletion.
The entire world is responsible for the destruction of Mother Earth. I don’t believe greed is limited to capitalism.
It is sad, but we find the greed to flow freely throughout the world.
I sometimes think Mother earth would be better off without Humanity… Her children have turned from her, and like errant children, the Mother must reach out and punish them, for their own good.
“The meek shall inherit the earth”… not the technology high-rise corporate machine building-society… the MEEK.
Sorry… rant over 🙂
It is fine. A rant once in a while is cleansing. I think more than turning away, we have decided that she belongs to us and is immortal. Not so, says the angels.
