Global warming is just one example of the biosphere destruction that is happening in more areas than we can imagine. First a definition. The biosphere is that part of the earth, including air, land, surface rocks, and water, within which life occurs. In other words, the biosphere is the global ecological system integrating all living beings and their relationships. How long before we commit collective suicide
Maybe if we can get the truth out about what we’re doing, we’ll have a chance to survive 2012 as well.
If Biosphere 2 showed or taught us anything, it was that we can’t replace this earth, we can’t duplicate what we are taking fro granted. So, how about waking up before it is too late? Then of course there’s another real life story of what NOT to do. It’s called Easter Island!
Named Easter Island on Sunday, 1722, this tiny island was a virtual paradise. Man arrived and started using and abusing the land around 500CE if we can trust our archaeologist friends. The island grew to a peak population of some 7,000 people by the end of 1,000 years (1500CE). During that 1,000 years, the inhabitants overused the land, polluted the vegetation, chopped down ALL of the trees (literally), exploited the nearby shellfish, and killed whatever animals ever existed or had previously been brought in.
How could they not see, not know?
We’re only talking 63 sq. miles for the entire island.
So, when the biosphere of the land and area had been totally destroyed, the remaining population that had dwindled to one-fourth it’s peak size, began killing and eating each other (otherwise known as cannibalism). We live in a much bigger world of course and seeing what we’re doing to ourselves and the biosphere is much more difficult. The signs are there though. We just need to open our eyes and ears.
And then begin changing our life styles so that we might leave something for our children to enjoy, if not save this planet for ourselves in our latter years. We do want to enjoy them don’t we?
