Even more frightening, China’s 1.3 billion people want into the game of a “car for every garage and chicken in every pot.”
THIN FILM OF AIR AND WATER
“Mathematically speaking, 99.94 percent of the earth consists of crust, rocky mantle and molten interior,” Anson said. “The thin layer of water that we refer to as an ocean exists only as an inexpressibly thin and precarious surface film that is only six one-hundredths of one percent as thick as the earth itself.”
As mentioned in earlier writings, humans create 27,000 square mile toxic dead zones in the North Sea, 6,000 square miles at the mouth of the Mississippi River, Lima, Peru; Rio de Janeiro; Shanghi, China, and many more places on the earth where humans pump sewage 24/7 into the oceans.
Why so dangerous? “If we were to wipe a wet paper towel across the surface of a twenty-inch world globe, the film it leaves behind would be proportionally too deep to properly represent the depth of our planet’s oceans,” Anson said.
In other words, if we keep using our oceans as the final toilet flush, at some point, they will upchuck on us with severe consequences as to food, flooding and climate change brought about by undersea current changes and melting ice caps.
INSULT TO INJURY TO MOTHER NATURE
“An immense storehouse of methane exists in the form of deposits representing 10,000 billion metric tons of carbon…if present warming continues and the ocean’s mud begins to warm, a self-fueling release of ever more gigatons of carbon could result,” Anson said.
“While red-tides and algal blooms are localized phenomenon, human impacts are a planet-wide phenomenon, so that today’s human impacts already appear to be having global repercussions,” Anson said.
Yet, demographic predictions show the human race growing from 6.6 billion to 9.2 billion by 2050 and some estimates show 10.2 billion. Anyone with a three digit IQ can tell that we’re in trouble! But not one world leaders speaks to this global dilemma!
