Are they (politicians)really that stupid? Maybe it is that they think we are that stupid? Or maybe just maybe we are all that stupid. Congress has passed a bill(Bush plans to veto it) requiring companies to reduce the amount of carbon(a green house gas) it releases by 60 percent by the year 2100. Here is the stupitiy- It's based on current emissions and the precieved damage that it's doing currently . Now take into effect that the number of companies that exsist today and then forcast the number that will be pumping Carbon and it becomes very clear our stupity! If you reduce the emissions by 60% but number of companies increases by 60 % you are now right back here...where we started from. Forget the small detail that at the current rate of emissions and what damage has all ready been done to the Earths cooling system we will be long gone by 2100! Iv'e written before that climatogogists and other scientist universally believe that if Greenhouse gases are not reduced now, RIGHT NOW! That we may see the disappearence of the Polar Ice by 2040. WE HAVE ALL READY LOST OVER 400,000 SQ MILES! Very simple to undestand....NO POLAR ICE NO LIFE ON PLANET! 2100 LOL

The good news is that there has been a formal acceptence of the science surrounding "global climate change" by our government. Specificlly the Minester of the Interior. The bad news is that the sign of acceptence was to place the Polar Bear on the endangered species list do to shrinking sea ice and more importanly the Loss of over 400,000 square miles of the polar ice cap. The polar bear an iconic figure in the animal kingdom has seen it's numbers drasticlly reduced by starvation and drowning, While attempting to hunt seals that once were much closer to mianland, now they are forced to swim long distences(polar bears are excellent swimmers) in search of them. Their future will depend on the actions taken by you and me....I think their is little hope for them. It will be a mirror image of our own fate as the Ice cap dwindles and eventually dissappears. Many scientists now believe we will see it's disappereance by mid century!

I was once again confronted with a clear example of how we have ruined our Planet. I have mention my youth and the beautiful surroundings I was blessed to grow up in. The Adirondack park in upstate NY encompasses 6 million acres of some of the most pristine old growth forests in all America. It is dotted with hundreds of streams and lakes, all of which were teaming with a wide variety of edible game fish. (many dif. trout, pike, pickerel, bass, perch, northern pike, catfish and others) My home sat a mere feet from one of those post card picture lakes. (Lake Algonquin) I would fish all year round and our freezer was always over flowing with fish caught within feet of our house. The Adirondack Park is the largest state park in the country and was designated "forever wild" by Theodore Roosevelt, who frequently hunted there. In fact most people don't know that the "Teddy bear" was named him, after a picture of him holding a cub in the park, was seen in the NY Times. The Park comes alive in the summers with dozens of large campsites lining the shores of it's many lakes. Families escape the heat and hustle of the cities and enjoy one of the families last activities that has something for everyone. One of the most common scenes would be that of a family sitting down at picnic table for dinner under the shade of towering White Pines. The and smell of pine browse filling the air and the sound of the sap popping in the wood. Dinner most surely consisted of some type of fish caught that day and is now staring up at you from your plate. The fish tasted as if prepared in heaven bye Gods personal chef. Skip forward just a few years to now and you wont see those fish on the plates. The Health dept of NY has put out a warning for all to read and those that enter the Park this summer will be reminded. Pregnant women and children under 12 are not to eat ANY yes I said ANY fish caught in those pristine lakes and rivers. Adults are to restrict eating fish to one meal a week. Why,? METHYL MERCURY! It falls from the sky after being emitted from factory exhaust stacks in the mid west. It increases it's toxicity as it builds up in fish. Small fish are eaten by larger ones and the lead/mercury is compounded along the way. Fishermen's lead weights left behind in the waters also play a role. The single most recognized sound that lets you know you are no longer in the city is the song of the Adirondack Loon. A sound, a kin to the howl of the wolf, is disappearing because of that Methyl Mercury. The fish are their primary food source. So, as the temp. in the cities rise due to CO2 and those families head for the mountains, will someone tell them to leave the fishing gear at home and add a couple more pkg of processed meat to eat.

A TIP HAS COME TO ME FROM INSIDE THE DEPT OF FLORIDA WATER MANAGMENT THAT SAID, MORE WATER WILL BE DRAWN AND CONTINUE TO BE DRAWN UNTILL THE RIVER OF GRASS.....IS JUST GRASS AND NO MORE RIVER!AND THAT ATTITUDE IS WHY THERE IS LITTLE HOPE FOR FUTURE OF ANY ANIMAL LIVING IN FLORIDA................................................INCLUDING HUMANS!!

"Go forth and multiply" Gods cultural mandate will lead to our extinction. Here lies the primary cause of ALL the environmental breakdowns on this planet. Any and all ecological collapses can be traced back to this primary one. I have written and spoke about this many times, yet it falls on deaf ears and blind eyes. If you and your spouse were the proud parents of 5 children, and because of that "bounty", you are now experiencing great hardships in the sustenance of those children, Would you crawl into bed, after sadly having to tuck those children in while crying from hunger and disease(due to weaken immune systems from malnutrition) then gaze loving into each others eyes and begin love making without birth control concerns? I most desperately think not! Yet, that is exactly what is taking place in every single household in your neighborhood and every neighborhood around the globe!...... I'll say it once more, we have reached a population of close to 7 BILLION. Our House(planet) CAN NOT SUPPORT THOSE ALL READY HERE. WHY THEN WILL WE ALLOW THE BIRTHS OF ANOTHER EST 75 MILLION MORE MOUTHS TO FEED THIS YEAR. AND NEXT....? We have gone so far past the "Tipping point" (that's the point when an ecosystem can no longer sustain life- due the shear number.) Scientists calculate that number to be around 3.5 Billion. We are depleting every single renewable resource at an alarming and suicidal rate! OUR "FUCKING" is "FUCKING" everything up! Tell your friends, children, and neighbors to ceased and desist immediately until our house can take care of the ones all ready living in it!.............................I would like to ask, for those who may not have, to PLEASE read. And for those who have, I would ask to PLEASE reread, my post here in Cosmic Painter called, "A SPOON FULL OF SUGAR" not this time! See why, disease is so important to the overall stength and survival of any living organism. The point i made and still make is that all of our problems can be traced back to this very one. Think of our planet with 2 billion today instead of 7 billion. Now, tell me what problems just disappeared with those additional 5 billion? I guess it would be much easier to list the problems left, but I can't think of any, except maybe one, Instead of Exxon-Mobil making a 40 billion dollar profit this year,they would have to scrape by with only around 15 billion!!!! There are many forces working against any hope of a true "social engineering" plan being put into action. They consist of the Church, primarily the Catholic church, and it's world wide preaching the "Right to Life" in it's never ending attempt to abolish both abortions and birth control. I tried to get the total number of abortions ever carried out , but many early abortions were not exactly done mainstream, so this number is only an approximation. (50 million) Now, had those not been carried out it would be safe to say that we would have another couple hundred million people around today competing for the same limited resources. Now, take the marvels of modern medicine.....I have asked this question before and been astounded at peoples response. If a pharmaceutical co. was to develop a "Super Pill" that could cure all diseases(you know they are always searching and would gladly like to start dispensing(selling) that "cure all"-all of course for the sake of mankind...) would you be in favor of the development and distribution? To many of those I ask say of course! That is the problem, an answer without really thinking or knowing the ramifications. Lets say, they found that pill right before the "Black Plague" that would eventually kill off half of Eourope(500,000 million). Not to mention the billions killed by disease since that time. Well, you and I would not be here today, nor would anyone because what we are experiencing today with the population at 7 billion. We would now stand somewhere and I say somewhere around 50 billion!!!!!!! WHAT WOULD LIFE LOOK LIKE ON EARTH WITH 50 BILLION PEOPLE? THATS A TRICK QUESTION BECAUSE IT WOULDN'T EXSIST!!!!!!! Please tell me somebody out there gets just a little bit of what im trying to get across! PACHA MAMA, MotherEarth, Mother Nature and yes even G-O-D are working, even as we sit here , on viruses that mutate faster than we could ever expect to our brilliant scientific community to compete with. It's our decision and our G-O-D given right to "free will" that must be excersised if there is to be ANY and i mean ANY "hope"! Please notify the Catholic church and demand they uphold the that same "Righ to life" because their actions are denying you, your children and all of mankind the "right to future Life"
