Avoiding a Fate like Mars for Earth: Life on Planet in Imminent
Danger
Ignoring Global Warming risks precipitating a Global
Pan-Famine/Starvation from Africa, right into Europe, the United
States, and Canada, unless in can be stopped and reversed in a
very timely manner. Such a milieu would occur with soaring
temperatures, destoying the oceans, with corresponding record
drought conditions in agricultural lands, threatening the food
supply internationally.
There are apparently some people who think that the current
"Greenhouse Effect" will simply lead to an "evolutionary" change
in the global climate, so that climatic areas in the northern
hemisphere like Canada, Scandinavia, Russia, Alaska in the U.S.,
and Antarctica in the southern hemisphere will become like one
big tropical resort area like Tahiti, Cuba, or Jamaica. Soon
everyone will be enjoying glorious sunshine, and sipping exotic
tropical drinks in Nova Scotia, Baffin Island in the Canadian
Arctic, or around the Arctic waters of Siberia, according to
people with this apparent view. These people profess a dislike
for the cold, and they therefore welcome any change that might
eventually get rid of their abhored winter blaaaaahs.
Unfortunately for these people, such a view is not supported by
critical scientific evidence, beyond "scientific infomercials"
and propaganda pieces that have been sponsored by various
well-financed Big Business interests. Indeed, it has been the
job of the largely corporate owned mass-media in Canada, and
elsewhere, to channel viewers, readers, and listeners into
responses which will complement the elite pursuit of insatiable
commercial profit. This corporate owned mass-media does not want
to draw public attention to the dire fate which awaits the
public, if 'the Economy' is not rejuvenated in a manner that
minimizes social and environmental costs.
The large scale 'owners of capital' have structured the
prevailing capitalistic economy to principally serve their
interests in the pursuit of money, status, and power for
themselves. Like heroine or "crack" cocaine drug addicts,
'capitalistocrats' have become so addicted to the pursuit of a
self-absorbing materialistic lifestyle predicted on money,
status, and power, they would much rather apparently destroy our
planet, and all life along with it, than to change their ways of
drug-like abuse. Indeed, the mass-media in the prevailing
capitalistocratic systems of Canada, the United States, United
Kingdom, continental Europe, and elsewhere, are no less corrupt
than the politicians which they are supposedly "holding
accountable".
The mass-media has apparently covered-up the fate that awaits
humanity, and the rest of our planet, if there is not an
immediate substantive response to the Global Warming threat
beyond the relatively superficial responses associated with the
extremely slow responses to fulfilling the relatively
superficial Kyoto Protocol. Indeed, failure to redress Global
Warming with great alacrity, will not mythically result in
northern hemispheres being turned into extensions of "tropical
paradises".
The cold air masses that hover over the Arctic and Antarctic
climatic areas of the planet are absolutely vital to moderating
the temperatures of planet Earth. Global Warming by the
irresponsible activities of greed driven private enterprises
under American led "global capitalism", are destroying these
vital climatic areas at an alarming rates. As a human species,
we have already witnessed deadly heat waves and humidity. The
accompanying worsening cancer causing ultra violet (UV) rays due
to rapid accompanying ozone depletion is already creating
experiences which almost feel like a form of radiation
poisoning. Further accompanying weather cataclysms including
more devastating hurricanes like Hurricane Katrina in New
Orleans in late Summer 2005, and other such ''weather events"
are only a relatively small tip of the iceberg so-to-speak.
The "hellish" summer of 2005 internationally has poignantly
showed relative to the comparatively milder Summer 2004, that
changes due to the abusive activities by human beings on the
planet can be sudden, and extremely drastic. The current
quantuum advancing devastating destructive impacts of
American-led "global capitalism" are threatening to precipitate
a catastrophic global drought in vital agricultural areas
internationally that the world has never ever seen; due to
unending rising temperatures, that will make the traditional
temperature characteristics of the tropics today (that have
benefited from Arctic and Antarctic moderation) seem like
comparative ice boxes. Worsening "hellish" summers will lead
into hellish other parts of the year also, with the prospective
disappearance of the Arctic and Antarctic climatic areas. The
inevitable result of such allowed phenomenon will be an ensuing
Global Famine that so far, the world has also never seen
spreading from the United States and Canada, into Europe and the
rest of the World.
The rising temperatures of the oceans would eventually
completely destroy all vital air (oxygen) producing plankton. A
global crisis in agricultural production would be further
accompanied by the cascading rapid dying out of all species in
the ocean. The oceans would become dead polluted waters (the
Gulf of Mexico has already been basically destroyed, with other
parts of the ocean following pursuit).
In such a milieu of Global Famine, the world would be taken over
by various warring military camps threatening each other with
nuclear annihilation, and privately-run "terrorist"
organizations trying to forcibly acquire what little of the
Earth is left, for the exclusive use of elites, criminal
syndicates, and gangs, leaving "masses" to perish in a milieu of
spiralling global starvation, and poverty in a climate of
socio-economic chaos and societal upheaval. Indeed, the
mass-media has hypocritically ignored the extent to which
'capitalism' is actually the root cause of growing apparent
"terrorism" as more and more people are turning to violent
political extremism, in the face of environmental destruction,
related oppression, and overall declines in quality-of-living.
Having destroyed the air-producing ocean life, and rainforests
under a greed driven ethos of capitalism, soon even the Global
Air Supply would become threatened with the overall rapid decay
of vital ecosystems. Global Warming promises the convert the
whole Earth not into a tropical paradise, but rather into a
giant coffin, where all life on the planet will miserably
perish. The Earth will eventually become very similar to Mars
sooner than you think, unless the whole economic system can
rejuvenated from its self-destructive path of Global Warming and
accompanying pollution including ozone depletion. The human race
will simply become a footnote for other possible space exploring
advanced species in the universe to study in their future
scientific missions of archaeological discovery, unless humanity
changes from its current overall destructive ways.
People in their communities can either choose to play Ninetendo
games, and worry about various other materialistic lifestyle
considerations in "blissful ignorance", in the image of the
elites who prevail over self-destructive capitalistocracies, or
alternatively, people can choose to rally their governments for
vitally needed social change. 'Sober' members of the diverse
public must either become actively engaged in redressing the
shortcomings of the prevailing economic system, or face the dire
consequences of their jaded attitudes. Members of the diverse
public who are concerned about their immediate
quality-of-survival cannot afford to be complacent. These
members of the diverse public must use what little that remains
of destroyed democratic systems (that have been taken-over by
the substantive operation of 'capitalistocracy') to challenge
corrupted government leaders.
Government leaders have allowed themselves to be seduced and
"bought-out" by self-serving greed-driven interests, that
operate against the vital affirmation of the quality-of-living
interests of the diverse public that these leaders were
supposedly elected to serve; and against the interests of
quality-of-living seeking human beings internationally. So far,
these government leaders have chosen to substantively ignore
capitalistocractic activities that precipitate Global Warming,
and accompanying pollution and worsening poverty which are being
executed by "generous donors" to their political campaigns, that
prop-up their political power. People must either turn away en
masse, from the norms of the prevailing capitalism that has
corrupted the integrity of democratic systems, or face certain
Mars-like global self-destruction.
