Rescuing Earth From Humans

When you realize humans kill 100 million sharks in the planet’s oceans annually, you scratch your head in dismay, or, at least, consternation. Unknown to most humans, thousands of species suffer extinction at the hands of humanity annually. (Source: Life, August , 1991, “Sharks: Predator becomes prey” Fussman)

When you read startling headlines in the Denver Post announcing devastating drought, you scratch your mind further as to why humans steam forward as if they cannot be touched by nature’s vengeance. What do we possess in our arrogance as to denial of our own vulnerability in the scheme of life?

At a Gamow lecture at Colorado University, Boulder, Colorado, I listened to a lecture by Oxford University professor Dr. Norman Meyers. He explained his personal research in the Amazon and other rain forests around the world that humans cause the extinction of 50 to 100 species every day of the year. I didn’t think much of it until, I too, visited the Amazon.

Humans burn 1.5 acres every second in the Amazon and worldwide to make way for crops in the shallow soils of the rain forests. What forms the foundation of the Amazon rain forests? Answer: sand dunes! Note that the Amazon rain forests took millennia to cover those dunes with minimum topsoil. Once exhausted, farmlands become wastelands.

As I explored the Amazon, I watched roads being built into its interior all the way to Manous on the Amazon River. I saw firsthand the fires and the relentless cutting of huge trees. Animals and plants lose their homes at a rate of a landmass the size of Colorado every year. No wonder Myers reported 100 species suffer extinction daily!

Back in the United States, famed Harvard biologist E.O. Wilson states, “We cannot save the planet if we don’t understand it.”

I might add that we cannot save our planet home if we fail to stabilize human population growth. But never mind, because in the end, Mother Nature WILL stabilize human population growth, rather brutally.

In an excellent report, Mark Matousek, “Rescuing Earth” said, “The man widely considered to be Charles Darwin’s heir wants to build an ark, a virtual one at that.”

“It will be the greatest scientific achievements of the 21^st century,” Wilson, 79, said. “We need this information about our world in order to save it.” Wilson expects to identify earth’s creatures in his “Encyclopedia of Life.” Estimates project 30 million species inhabit this planet.

While Wilson’s quest promotes noble intentions, first of all, humans rampage across the planet with devastating results to our ecological systems, but in the end, we cannot ‘save it’. A harsh reality faces humanity: this planet can and will erase humans without shedding a tear or issuing a burp!

The sad aspect of our destroying the environmental foundation of the planet in the past 100 years: we drive the sixth extinction session of millions of fellow creatures by our irresponsible fecundity.

“Scientists agree that the world has entered the first great extinction to be caused by humans,” Matousek said. “Global warming, deforestation, abuse of arable land, and destruction of natural habitats threaten to wipe out half the species of plants and animals on the planet by the end of the century.”

Wilson said, “Half the world’s plant and animal species could be extinct by the end of the century.”

As someone who witnessed massive kill-off of species in the Amazon, I direct your attention to a movie starring Sean Connery: “Medicine Man”.

By viewing the movie, you may see the species loss by their habitat cut and burned into oblivion. Not discussed in this sixth extinction session, you might consider what I call the “cascade effect”. For an example, in the United States, prairie dogs suffer horrific destruction of their colonies via human development. In states like Colorado, that slaps asphalt and concrete on 100,000 acres annually, those rodents vanish overnight.

When prairie dogs die, 67 other species, which depend on the rodents, also suffer decline and extinction. Voila! “Cascade effect”!

By not taking time to identify earth’s biodiversity, “It’s like a doctor trying to treat a patient knowing only 10 percent of the organs,” Wilson said.

As a scientist, Wilson suffers the slings and arrows of the Committee Against Racism and religious groups, but his scientific integrity remains unquestioned.

If humanity expects to flourish into the 21^st century, it must take action with its intellect rather than its emotional and religious paradigms that prove outdated, outmoded and irrelevant. E.O.Wilson leads the struggle to bring about a viable future on planet Earth.

Bob Woodruff of ABC asked input from all citizens concerning the future of our planet. Go to www.earth2100.tv for a sobering reality check as to what we face and to what I have been writing about for the past 20 years. Our ‘window’ to change to a balanced population and non-polluting energy diminishes every day we listen to irresponsible media and thus ignore the blatant symptoms manifesting all over America and the planet.

Frosty Wooldridge has bicycled across six continents – from the Arctic to the South Pole – as well as six times across the USA, coast to coast and border to border. In 2005, he bicycled from the Arctic Circle, Norway to Athens, Greece. He presents “The Coming Population Crisis in America: and what you can do about it” to civic clubs, church groups, high schools and colleges.

This three minute interview with Adam Schrager on “Your Show” May 4, 2008, NBC Channel 9 News, addresses the ramifications of adding 120 million people to USA in 35 years and six million people to Colorado as to water shortages, air pollution, loss of farmland, energy costs and degradation of quality of life. In the interview, Frosty Wooldridge explains the ramifications of adding 120 million people to the USA in 35 years. He advances new concepts such as a “Colorado Carrying Capacity Policy”; “Colorado Environmental Impact Policy”; “Colorado Water Usage Policy”; “Colorado Sustainable Population Policy”. Nationally, the USA needs a “National Sustainable Population Policy” to determine the carrying capacity of this nation for the short and long term. Wooldridge is available for interviews on radio and TV having interviewed on ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN and FOX.

Harvard renowned biologist E.O. Wilson states, “We can’t save the planet if we don’t understand it

Candace: I had a nice breakfast with Frosty early this summer. he lives 10 minutes away from me. He has traveled the world pretty widely and this is his passion, what man is doing to himself and the planet. There are too many of us and most remain unaware. The mark of an advancing society is its staying within the bounds of nature and thus keeping control of it's reproduction rate.

Man on this planet in general, not all, still doesn't realize his affect on the whole, and what he will leave to his children, sometimes his grandchildren, but never unto the 7th generation in his thoughts. There are still Christians who interpret and probably Muslims too that the comments in holy books about sin unto the seventh generation, means somehow people are spiritually and physically are tarnished by the sins of their ancestors, and don't yet understand that this statement means that what you do now, and the errors made now, affect the future generations of man.

It has been now I assume at least 7 generations since man became industrial, and the powers of the planet ignored all that was presented. Certainly in my case, in the generations of my own family, it is about 5 generations since Tesla began his work.

I have produced two generations, then me, my dad and my grandparents date to about the time of Tesla. So, my great grandchilden (which could theorectically start in a couple years, I hope not) and great great grandchildren, just 4 generations from myself, are left an awful ugly world in decimation should things be go the way of a big correction by nature. Many don't think that far ahead. I do, and have done so since I was in high school, thinking about this world left to my great-great grandchildren. That is what lead to what I now do.

I was lambasted by most people I knew for taking an interest in the environment as an early teenager, but the fumes from the cars told me that man had taken the wrong direction, and so it is. I remember learning in high school and college that the ocean would feed us forever. Well, it's not. Pretty soon it won't feed us at all, because it is become more and more acid. My own drinking water is acid.

The filtered water I buy ( from those culligan and related machines where you fill your own bottles) is acid, from all three sources I buy from. This is ominous. Yet the baby boom continues and we continue to pollute and war and shop until we drop for stuff that is made poorly and off the backs of the poor of the world. When does it end? Well, nature is going to end it. And would have already, had not star fleet stabilized the globe, until 1987 that is. Man did not learn.

You all need to keep pointing this out to others, no matter what the strange looks you get. It must be told. And you must also show the way by demonstrating the way. Stop buying junk foods and overly prepared foods in the store. Make your car last, and don't trade it in. Organize time so you use the car less. Take public transportation where possible, because those buses and trains run, full or empty.

Take your own bags and boxes to the store. Wear your cheap clothes made overseas in sweat shops as long as you can before replacing them. Stop buying cheap Christmas stuff. Stop buying Christmas trees, real or fake. And stop following all the stuff that is placed on you to follow. Demonstrate thought and preparedness. If you are rejected, leave them and go find somebody else to work on.

And because of the changes coming, start keeping some of your waste to use later, that might be useable. Start cooking at home and stop buying prepared foods. This cuts back the containers they come in. I am still guilty of this a little bit, once in a while I forget and remember when I throw out the container it came in.

Being single it is tempting at times to buy things like frozen burritos and the like. I now make them really cheap and freeze them myself, and enjoy my "fast food" that way. Stop going to church with your famlies if they go. Stop tithing to churches. If you have money to give away, use it better, because most churches bring in only enough to pay their bills, salaries and have little left to give away, except for the largest ones.

If we wish to continue church, don't tithe and work at getting the minister to teach something of consequence to the people. Our ministry stinks. If the minister did what they should be doing, the dark would NOT be in control of this planet. People are being taught that God will fix everything, or the other side of the story, since God is going to destroy the planet anyway, go ahead and fuck it up, it's OK. This is more common than you might think.

One of the reasons these banks are in so much trouble, is because employees think it ok, everyone needs a job you know. People work in the defense industries. They work in the grocery stores selling fake food. If the kids in Iraq walked off the job, the war would end. If the folks working for the media stood up, we would not have this lying media. And the story goes on.

People are NOT using their people power, which is their God power. They want sky god to fix everything. They refuse to understand they are Sons of God, and thus they ARE GOD. So they are the Gods mucking up the planet! This will be huge, ONCE people accept the idea. This is what it means to place God outside yourself. God is within you, is what the message given 2000 years ago said, and it goes still ignored and not understood.

Even those ones beginning to wake up, think we have 100 years yet to solve the problems. We do not. It is almost too late, it is too late, because of the lack of awareness. I have spent 4 months working on a forum, and I haven't made much headway, with many there, that are posting. Lots of resistance, and the resistance is getting obnoxious. However, I am seeing some results and some star seeds are coming here to read. I am seeing a bit better posting, but its time to stop, because I have affected all who can be affected.

Doing the little things I suggested above won't save this world, but by demonstrating these to others and refusing to back off, you do raise the consciousness in those that will listen. Even if they reject your ideas and way showing now, they WILL remember your words come showdown time and will begin to seek your wisdom when push comes to shove. It is important despite the bashing, to set yourself up as a leader, NOW, not later.
