Deforestation Affects Humanity In Many Different Ways

June 13, 2008

While most people know how to live life in a comfortable way, it is often not fully understood that the modern westernized lifestyles are not helping the planet’s ecology. These lifestyles are damaging the ecology to such an extent that soon there will no longer be an ecologically sustainable future.

Most people need to implement a much better, ecologically friendly lifestyle before it is too late, and nature takes its course with further calamities. If most of humanity does not implement improvements in its life and does not make ecologically sustaining lifestyle changes but continue to damage and pollute the planet, there will not be a liveable environment in the near future.

Our ecological system is the most important part of this planetary system and it must be conserved. Trees are of utmost importance to have an ecologically balanced environment. Without trees, there will be no chance of surviving, not only because of the need for oxygen or because of the lack of paper and other commodities, but in particular because this ecological structure is part of the planet’s ecological foundation plane.

Trees are much more important to the well-being of humanity than most people know. They create energy forms and hold much of the balance on the planet, in particular, those trees that are part of a forest. These energy forms can be enormous and can keep people in balance mentally, emotionally, and, to some degree, allow people to be less affected by air pollutants. Our forests must therefore be protected.

Often people feel rejuvenated when they go for a walk or run near trees or a forest; they can feel the peacefulness radiating from the trees. Trees have a certain energy content, which is not easy to explain within the context of this article. The ancient forests, in particular, preserve much of this energy structure.

This energy structure is like a foundation, a building block similar to brickwork; however, the content of this “brickwork of trees” cannot be proven. Most people resonate with this wisdom and know this, as they know that trees need to be left to grow to be able to fulfill their own purpose, to stabilize the planet’s own functioning.

What will be the future for humanity when there is hardly any forest left? If this deforestation continues at this alarming rate people will need to understand that the support the forests are providing for the overall life on the planet will be lost forever. The reduction of forests has far exceeded the threshold whereby forests can continue to sustain humanity and the planet.

Older trees contain ancient knowledge that can have a beneficial effect on all. This ancient knowledge inherent in a tree will simply vanish, and anyone who was sustained by these energy structures will be affected.

Estimates are that many forests including the Amazon, one of the most important structural forests on the planet, which is decreasing at an incredible rate, will no longer exist by the year 2025. Most of the planet’s forests could be completely extinct by 2040. Thus, these forests, which are major contributors to the planet’s oxygen supply, may no longer exist in the near future. Estimations are that the Amazon forest currently contributes 15% to 20% to the planet’s oxygen supply. While there is enough oxygen supplied in the atmosphere, the overall oxygen levels are still slowly declining.

Within the corporate environment, people need to have a better understanding of how severe the degradation of the planet’s ecological system is and how this will effect the planet and the future of humanity.

There are no longer enough ecologically well-balanced structures left on the planet to provide adequate replenishment for people. As a result, some people could feel they have lost their brilliance.
Eventually, everything in people’s lives could be affected should people’s mental functioning become further confused because of the loss of this inner connection and not enough forests remaining to support people and the planet.

The main priority has to be to stop further deforestation of the remaining forests. It is important to plant additional trees before it is too late and there are not enough forests left to ecologically support the planet and there is a point of no return. In addition, there is a need to find replacements for products made of timber that are not harmful to the environment and can sustain the present ecological crisis.

Without a planet that supports humanity, life on earth is not possible. The planet is the sole provider. It provides trees for oxygen, water to drink, food to eat, raw materials for manufacture, gold for the monetary system; humanity obtains all of these resources from the planet’s crust.

The planet’s crust is the major foundation that supports life and it is moving and changing due to geological stress. Tectonic plate movements are increasing, and this will continue until, at least, 2025. These plates are the physical platform on which all of life is built. The planet’s crust is under enormous pressure as are the ecological structures on its surface. If there are no ecological structures remaining on the planet’s surface to sustain the planet as well as humanity, life will no longer be possible in its current form.

Humanity has not understood that this continuous taking from the planet has gone on for too long. It has gone beyond the wildest imagination of those who understand the planet’s present state. The planet is the foundation of life—this should not be forgotten.


Why Lifestyles Need Changing

June 13, 2008

At present most people do not believe that it is necessary to make changes to their lifestyle to prevent a major planetary upheaval. The way most people view life in relation to climate change is often that all is still well and there is no need to make the necessary lifestyle changes. Should they have some concern about the present climate change, this is often rationalized or a good reason is found to marginalize the fact that climate change is caused by humanity itself.
While some may be concerned of late about the severity of earthquakes, this is usually a temporary concern that fades away as soon as all is back to normal; there is often no foresight in relation to the consequences of climate change.
Although many people are not aware of it yet, climate change will soon become a real threat for most of humanity. In about three years the majority of the human race will have gained major insight into what the future will hold in relation to expected climate changes.
This prediction may not have much of a reality to it yet, however, there will come a time soon, where most people will begin to understand, because of actual events that will begin to emerge.
While all of this may sound like a doomsday scenario, these climate change predictions are the result of a lack of effort and urgency by the human race to reduce its overall carbon emissions.
We have the power to combat climate change and make all the necessary changes required to prevent such a future outcome.
Life itself is a process which humanity can steer in many different directions. The course of most of life’s events is on the whole at a global level driven by humanity itself.
What if China had not developed as rapidly as it currently has, if the western world had not bought most of their products, but had chosen a different path? China is following the same path most western countries began many years ago, with consumerism becoming the main part of its lifestyle and well-being.
With the rapid growth in production of goods and materialism in most major nations, what will happen to what remains of the environment and its ecological functioning?
What will be the aftermath of the rapid increase in pollution on both humanity and the environment? There will then no longer be opportunities to rebuild the lost environmental structures; and this will have further consequences on all.
While most people expect life at present to continue as it is, as not enough major ecological calamities have happened yet, there will come a time when they will have to make lifestyle changes, as nature will run its own course.
The course of action humanity is taking will not be able to adequately sustain its chances of future survival, as changes in weather patterns will increase. Humanity has not yet realized that it needs to change its present lifestyle for the benefit of its own future survival.
By not making the required lifestyle changes to reduce global pollution, there will be consequences in the near future whereby much of humanity will no longer have the benefits that their current lifestyle is providing.


After 2025 – What Will Happen When Most Ice Masses Have Disappeared?

June 3, 2008

Within the next twenty years almost all of the current ice structure will have melted, however, at present this does not concern most of the world’s population. While it is true that we can live without these ice masses, ecologically this is not sound. The planet’s ecology will not be able to sustain a balanced environment without its glaciers and other ice masses.

While most of humanity may think the present melting of glaciers, Arctic ice and the ice covering mountainous areas, is a natural event, this is not so. More and more ice is melting due to global warming as well as a severely damaged environment which is no longer coping.

Once this cycle of melting ice masses has completed there will no longer be any ice masses left for the many environmental processes, which are all playing an important part in the overall ecological balance this planet needs. What could be the next climate phase once the ice masses have disappeared? The planet could cool down to regain its balance, in what for most people will be unforeseen ways. Another possibility is that the planet would change or reverse its cycle. However, none of the outcomes are a certainty yet.

While some believe that land ice will only partially disappear and that some ice will always remain in the Polar Regions and glaciers, this is not true from our perspective. The planet is well on its way to having almost no ice masses left within the next twenty-five years.

The planet’s atmospheric pressure system will change once these land ice masses have disappeared. There will no longer be “water flows” as part of a balanced ecological structure to continue nature’s cyclical process in ways we currently experience. Change will take place affecting barometric pressures, condensation and so forth, creating different rainfall patterns.

How will the rest of the weather processes change when around 2025 most of these ice masses will have melted? We expect that for about five years the weather patterns will initially be the same, however, around 2030 we foresee dramatic changes in the rainfall patterns. Once this has begun we foresee a major change in climate within a matter of one year. All over the planet a dramatic change in the climate affecting, in particular, the rainfall is expected to take place. Such changing rainfall patterns will be ecologically disastrous for all. They are likely to become erratic, with perhaps no rain for longer than usual periods, or with no rainfall at all; inland regions may be the worse affected by the change in climate.

So the future looks bleak in relation to climate change as it stands now, with rapidly declining ice masses such as the polar ice and far more drought or flooding than before.

Most of humanity has not taken much interest in what will happen once the ice mass has disappeared. It is not looking ahead enough and has little concern for these reducing ice masses. Humanity is not looking at the ever-increasing pollution problem, in particular, atmospheric pollution, which is the real cause behind all of this. As a result people are not taking adequate action to reduce their impact on the environment.

Thus, with these melting ice masses becoming an ever-increasing problem, it is time for humanity to mature and look at the impact of their present lifestyle on the environment. The ever-increasing pollution resulting from humanity’s wish for luxury goods and products, which is having a serious affect on the environment, cannot continue as in the end humanity’s own destiny is at stake.


The Effects of Consumerism on the Environment

June 3, 2008

We are at present in a situation where the planet’s ecology is not coping with all the pollution because of a huge, continuously increasing, consumer demand. This excessive demand for consumer products has created most of the current environmental imbalances. These imbalances will become a much greater problem than most people expect this to be. These imbalances have already caused ecological disasters in different places all over the world, with many more to follow.

This rate of consumption is increasing at an alarming rate. This will cause enormous environmental devastation in the future, to the extent that around 2025, people will need to complete major changes in their lifestyles to avoid the worst possible scenario.

The greenhouse gas effect is now so severe that around 2015, the whole planet will experience the result of rising temperatures in a far more severe way than most will expect.

While most people have begun to notice that the weather is changing they may not have understood that these climate changes are the forerunner of a much more serious problem. As a result most people are not changing their lifestyles, reducing their ecological footprint, resulting in a further increase of the present ecological imbalance.

With the ever continuing increase in environmental damage there will come a time where this will reach a point of no return, whereby the planet will no longer be able to support its own functioning. It is expected that by 2025, the planet will no longer be able to cope with the severe ecological damage. This will mainly be caused due to present geological stresses, further increase of global warming, and further destruction of the planet’s ecology which is so needed by the planet to provide support for its overall functioning.

It is of benefit for people to look at how they live their life and what they can do to change their lifestyle, so that an excessive need for goods and products will not become a major drive in one’s life. This may be difficult to do while the overall consensus is to buy more products. However, this is not reducing consumerism. At times, products may be needed to improve a lifestyle; however, people often wish to increase their buying and spending power and buy more products so they can feel better or can keep up with others. Thus, this need for an increase in products in the household creates an increase in the number of products manufactured, which in turn often results in an increase in environmental damage.

While humanity needs consumer goods, the impact these products or the production processes can have on the ecology has to be reduced. To save the environment humanity can no longer continue to increase its consumption of goods and, this should therefore not be encouraged. The human race needs to envisage a future whereby people still have their comforts but without the throw-away and polluting aspects of living, as is happening in most modern-day societies.

It is important that the planet’s worsening environmental crisis is taken seriously and action is taken to make adequate change to prevent a looming ecological crisis within the next twenty years. A simpler, less polluting lifestyle will result in a more manageable, sustainable environment, which as a result can function better as a support structure for the planet’s overall functioning.
