We have shown that several events have contributed to the planetary state of emergency:
A) widespread poverty and hunger in more than half the world populationB) The global warming of the planet due to human activities
C) Climate change
D) Economic and military invasion of nations by the United States and NATO
E) Absence of fair and democratic global governance at the United Nations and European Union
F) Our global environment and global life-support systems are threatened by:
- any of the above mentioned events
- pollution worldwide
- the U.S.A. military exploded war heads over the bottom of the Indian ocean, and that scenario created a tsunami wave in 2004. Just a test, said the captain of the submarine that did it.
- the U.S.A. military exploded war heads to melt the Polar Cap and glaciers. All nations capable of such an extreme action against humanity and all life on Earth must be disarmed and pay for the independent global investigation. The United States is the only nation that would profit from the melting of the North Pole and is capable of such an extreme action against humanity and all life. Blood resources.
Today, earquakes, cyclones and other natural disasters, as well as human made global destruction and disasters, require a rapid and efficient response from the world to help those in needs. We need to be organized and ready to help. We need all nations to be a part of this Global Movement to Help.
In the chaos
after the magnitude 7.9 earthquake in China, which made 5 million homeless,
many survivors were separated from their families. Burma was hit by a cyclone
at the beginning of the month of May, leaving over two million persons
in need of emergency relief. Thousands of children and parents have been
separated. Nowadays, natural and human made disasters have become more
frequent and require a rapid response to help.
The planetary state of emergency is showing us that humanity needs and wants are so destructive to itself and to all life on Earth that something significant
must be done to protect this amazing life heritage, not just for ourselves but the next generations.
Over the last Century humanity has been depleting the natural capital of Earth, rich agricultural soils, its groundwater stored during ice ages, and its biodiversity.
Overpopulation and increasing per capita consumption are major reasons for the depleting of resources.
Politicians and business executives are under the delusion that such a disastrous
end to the modern human enterprise and institutions can be avoided by technological fixes that will allow the population and the economy to grow forever.
The recent event that brought down the American economy is a signal of desperation, a wake-up call, something has gone very wrong and we need to make things right.
People from Wall Street live a dream life. Our current way of life is unsustainable.
Our current way of life is unsustainable. We are the first species that will have to self-consciously impose limits on ourselves if we are to survive.
Can we really believe this world can go forward indefinitely, a few decades?
We are seeing the end of the era of cheap fossil energy, and there is no viable large-scale replacements for that energy.
The health of the planet is not what Wall Street is showing us. The reality is that we see more trends such as :
- groundwater contamination,
- high levels of toxicity,
- topsoil loss,
- widening inequality in the world,
- the intensity of the violence,
- war over oil and gas,
- floods, and
- the desperation that so many feel at every level of society.
