Re: Ice melting / Fly infestations?
OGF..
Yes, agreed these changes have taken place before, millions of years ago. The difference now is that what was a slow ecological process, has now speeded up to massive changes within a human lifetime.
There are 7.5 billion people on this planet, and that must surely have had an impact and still does have a greater impact with the destruction caused and following on of the 'domino effect '
Whether we can change things, who knows ? I doubt there is any quick solution whatever we do. Our oceans from north to south are polluted, that's nothing to do with natural phenomena. The earth has been shaken to the core with bombs dropping and nuclear disasters like Japan and Chernobyl, and on August this year radioactive gases swept across a Russian town released from a an explosion at a test sight. How many more we don't hear about ?
Space travel, the mighty take offs, polluting the skies .
All these things go into the atmosphere and are dispersed elsewhere.
How do we know what is going on below in the deepest part of our oceans ? Earthquakes and tsunamis from the seas could be causing bubbling and hotting up of the oceans also.
The tectonic plates of the earth are shifting, we've had earthquakes causing tsunamis and shifting the axis of the earth , once in Indonesia and more recently in Japan where the coast moved 8 ft . All these things contribute to a change in a cycle , and we need to know how we can assist our beautiful planet .
Where we have natural disaster which must play a huge part, scientists seem to build on what we already have, being more destructive and experimental and they seem unable to turn the clock backwards , but that's not in their job description..
Energy, oil, gases, food , livestock for 7.5 billion people , must impact the natural world.
