An endangered species

A wise man once said "We don't inherit the Earth from our parents.  We borrow it from our Children."  I agree.  The  thing is we have a lot of problems to deal with.  Such as ocean acidity destroying coral reefs.  Interfering with shell fish's ability to grow shells in the first place.  how this happened is some polar ice melt.  More green house gasses were released and the Earths baseline temperature is one degree Celcius higher.  Continued human population growth and waste generation has led to more nutrients and acifiers being in the ocean.  The extra warm temperatures cause chemical reactions as more carbon finds its way into the warmer oceans.  Warmer waters, extra phosphates, and nitrates creates a more acidic environment.  Jelly fish bloom and other predatory fish species die.  And mankind is the cause of these problems.  We are the solution too.  Environmental clean up is costly and labor intensive.  As long as we want to focus on making profits now,  monies will not be spent to solve our environmental problems.  THE EARTH WILL DO FINE WITHOUT US.  If we want to continue to live on this planet then we have to fix some things.  I want to encourage you to check out my other blog, Concept E-3.  I heard on the redio today that the Dallas, TX 911 board has been fielding a lot of reports of Mosquito bites.  Seems that a few years ago I did not even here of "Bird flu" and "West Nile Virus".  THE SOLUTION IS NOT BUG SPRAY.  Rather the solution is more natural predators such as 'Bats' and 'Dragonflys' .  These gobble up mosquitoes and other bugs quite nicely.  Bats are an important insect control measure in Austin, TX.  In Florida the mosquitoes are controlled by bug spray.  Here is the problem.  The bug spray kills Dragon Flyes too!  Mosquitoes are a commodity insect a food source if you will.  They breed in the 100's of 1000's.  The Dragonflyes do not.  The mosquitoes come back and the dragonflyes do not.  This is NATURE OUT OF BALANCE.   We pay in blood.
