Effects of Man Made Global Warming

The world is not slowly dying, It is actually happening very quickly.

Climate change is happening and is a normal part of the progression of atmospheric environments but humans also have a big part in helping global warming occur faster and with greater ferocity than before. 

In this blog, I am discussing how humans (mostly large corporations and government agencies) negatively affect the earth and how the people, as whole, can help reverse climate change and have an heavy hand in getting the earth back on a sustainable track.

The Truly Beautiful Opportunity

Since the beginning of time, Mother Earth has lived in harmony with all living creatures inhabiting the big blue ball. Made mostly of water, She is known to be one of the few planets in our entire galaxy that can sustain life, and the only planet in our solar system. Earth’s atmosphere is 78 percent nitrogen, 21 percent oxygen, 0.9 percent argon, and 0.1 percent other gases. Trace amounts of carbon dioxide, methane, water vapor, and neon are some of the other gases that make up the remaining 0.1 percent. In order for life to form on a planet all of these chemical ingredients have to be at just the right levels. Not only that but the planet has to be at just the right distance from the sun in order to create the correct temperature for life to form like pre heating an oven to just the right amount. And even if all of those things end up happening, life forming is still not guaranteed. That being said we are kind of special, and we have to start acting like it. We are special in the way that we have been given a truly beautiful opportunity that most other planets never get because they never get the chance to be created and evolve in the first place. We are the only creatures known to us that have an intense awareness of our actions and emotions. With this awareness we have a duty to take care of the planet and all living creatures that inhabit it because it is our actions that have made climate change progress at a rate never before seen in history.

How it Was Before…

We as humans are allowed to be here, I mean we evolved ourselves here over a long period of time and now we get to reap the benefits this magnificent land has to offer, that is, only if we abide by the natural laws that mother has set for us which is; whatever you take, you give back just as much. This unspoken rule is known by all living creatures on this planet from tiny single celled organisms, to plants, to all animals. It seems to be embedded in the DNA of all life and creates a perfect sustainable cycle, thus translating into a perfect transfer of energy. Up until the Industrial Revolution (which was responsible for the very first mass burning of fossil fuels), Humans lived largely off of the land and only within their own means. All resources were distributed equally. Before the 1400’s, American Natives sustained the land perfectly, using every part of an animal, farming everything and wasting nothing, giving back to the earth in harmony. Native Americans along with many other tribes believe that every living creature including plants, along with Mother Earth herself, has a soul that is to be respected and worshiped. Some tribes still live this way today and there is a lot we should learn from their sustainable practices.

Earth Wants to Kick Us Off :'((

If mother is upset, then everyone is. This seems to always be true whether you are talking about the woman who birthed you, or the planet that made it possible. There are many ways that Mother Earth is telling us to stop doing what we are doing. She is imbalanced in many ways. One big one is air pollution from large scale factories. There is too much oil, and other fossil fuels being burned every hour of every day leading to increase of nitrogen dioxide and carbon monoxide in our atmosphere. Too much of these gasses are detrimental to life here on earth and is the reason the earth is getting hotter. The atmosphere cannot filter this level of toxic gasses. Another one is microbes. Microbes have been around on earth the longest and are one of the most adaptable creatures on the planet. Once in a while it can evolve into something that our bodies cannot handle such as as Ebola, Zika, or as of lately COVID-19. This is an effect of over population and started happening when humans entered the picture only in recent history and today. This means that we are living too well and exceeding our means and using too many resources which causes the mother to remind us to share and leave enough for everyone else (meaning the other organisms that are dying due to climate change). We are over fishing, over grazing, and over farming our resources, and most of it goes to waste anyway and ends up in landfills, causing the release of more methane gas into the air; ultimately contributing even more to climate change. I will dive more deeply into this in a future post.
