Unhappy National Emergencies - Just The Beginning?



With one of the nation?s most active hurricane seasons upon us, one has to wonder if global warming is not at least partially the fault?

With unchecked greenhouse emissions, rampant coal consumption (especially within the Third World), car exhausts, deforestation, and rapid increases in population, it kind of makes you wonder if mankind?s stupidity, and not war, some super volcano or other natural disaster, will inevitably destroy our race?

Another thought that you might want to consider is: ?Should global warming continue, the polar icecaps will begin to melt at a far faster rate!? This means that the usable (Earth) land mass will decrease dramatically, farming regions that feed the planet will become inundated, and mankind (those that do not starve to death), will be packed together like sardines! (Thank God for Right Guard and Listerine!)

"And what of Nature itself?" With a warmer climate, hurricanes may also become far more frequent! Of course, this is not to mention the other violent geological & meteorlogical activity that may also be on the rise?

"Now just think of all of those years when a few people with a modicum of insight, warned that we were screwing up the environment and the ecosystem, and what the consequences might eventually be?"

Now I am not a rabid conversationalist or seer, but it seems to me, this being the only home that we humans have and considering the fact that we can only exist within a narrow range of temperatures and other factors, that we had damned well better smarten up before it is too late! ?That is, unless it is already too late??

It isn?t as if this race does not have enough to worry about after all! I mean with enough space junk, comets, asteroids etc., to destroy us many times over - careening about the galaxy, new diseases appearing on a regular basis, and half the world wanting to blow the other half to Hell, we are also using up our resources like there is no tomorrow!! ?And out of all of these resources, air and water are the most precious!?

But what the Hell, we will probably all go out in a blaze of glory, or decaying to putridity from disease, or drowning in our own idiocy, long before some damned fool pushes that big, red button of doom!

?EDEN NO MORE!!?
