Global Disaster
Edwin Hubbel wrote in 1925 "....the principal of the uniformity of nature thus
seems to rule undisturbed in this region of space......"
But , I take exception to that statement , because of mankinds un-natural
tendencies to disregard the natural order which in kind ( or un-kind ! ) nature
play's along rudely to our cruel misconduct , since it took millions of years to
establish a non-toxic atmosphere ( to land mammals ) that we have taken for
granted and have inconvenietly disrupted in a manner of just hundrends of years .
Just the double negative effect alone should be a warning to how we
should approach our future , these being , excess carbon emissions and
deforestation . The positive and negative relationship is two-fold here in a short
explanation , our tree's absorb carbon and emit oxygen , less trees , more
carbon , and we accelerate a negative process . If you take for example , our own
biological systems as humans , we need oxygen to breathe to live , the positive ,
but the negative is that oxygen attributes to decomposition , which could
accelerate the ageing process of the body , which is why proper nutrition is
important , especially foods rich or drinks rich in anti-oxidants .
In short , I believe it becomes very important to be aware of the natural
order of our relationship to our overall system without our exploitive behaviors
which only encourage a consumerism attitude .
