Are We Witnessing the Death of Our Planet?
It seems that we are witnessing the death of our planet right before
our very eyes. The extreme weather, Gulf oil disaster and use of deadly dispersants,
to decades of agrichemical and synthetic medicines leeching into water
ways, and general human pollution resulting in having to now map the North Atlantic Garbage Patch (not to be confused with the Great Pacific Garbage Patch) — has resulted in major breaches to our interdependent life system.
Here are a few recently-reported disturbing indicators that our life support system may be nearing critical condition:
- Hundreds-of-thousands of dead fish washing up on the Northeast shores of the U.S.
- Millions of fish and thousands of alligators, turtles, dolphins and other river wildlife died during a record cold snap in South America.
- Fifty whales dying in New Zealand.
- Bee colonies dying off in staggering numbers.
- Extreme weather severely damaging global food output at a time when the population is booming.
