Deforestation

Rape Of The Earth
Tropical Deforestation

CO2 levels and deforestation have gone (deliberately?) unreported for some while. This is the true reason for the increase of atmospheric CO2. The source of CO2 is alleged to be fossil fuels. Certainly, levels are increased, but the destruction of the 'lungs of the Earth' prevents conversion of CO2 back into O2. All humans and other creatures respire: consume O2 and exhale CO2 to be converted back into O2. Remove vegetation and the levels of O2 must decrease. The proportion of CO2 in the breathable atmosphere will increase. The interpretation is that burning fossil fuels is considered the ONLY cause for the rise in CO2 levels.

Destruction of trees and vegetation is a
major cause of atmospheric 'pollution'

Burning organic material consumes oxygen and creates carbon dioxide. The ability to create oxygen is continuously curtailed. All humankind's ills are placed firmly at mankind's door. This is essentially true, but the remedy for reversal is removed purely for financial gain. Greed is very myopic. Actually, totally blind and criminally stupid.

There has been little drive to push the message of fuel restriction to heavy users, usually the wealthy and it seems that everyone else must conserve through penalty so the rich can waste the resource. To get richer on their journey to Hell. Because they can afford to. Lots of money will be needed to enter Hell. Another form of the redistribution of wealth (resources) is 'carbon trading'. This is the apparent attempt to deal with the amount of atmospheric CO2 pollution by moving it on elsewhere. It's just a cynical, stupid and (arguably) criminal, but nonetheless a very crude dodge around the entire subject, yet still in the short term 'moving' shed loads of money on the back of the issue. Parasitic. Dumping waste on somebody else so more waste (wealth) can be created. The illusion is something happening, but the reality is that everything continues to burn in Hell. The Earth will survive, though the Human Race will become extinct through the greed of a great many. The stupid ones. Much other life is also doomed, though much will survive. This could be on the epitaph of the Human Race:


The great many billions perished
through the greed of others 

The Human Race will be missed by nothing. If the development of Human Life were discovered to be an alien experiment, then it surely failed.


BIG TIME

There seems to be an unannounced moratorium on tree-saving and a new biofuel using tree bark, twigs and leaves and not new trees has been suggested (Biofuel Scam). This is less expensive in terms of food competition, but still fails to address the issue of CO2 production. One obvious problem is that once the true waste has been removed and destroyed, trees will be harvested not for their wood pulp, but bark. The tree will be destroyed, but justifying with a good intention. Nothing of the kind. At best it's clutching at straws in desperation rather that facing the only possible solution. Stop using conventional fuels. Nuclear energy is a non-starter. The Moon creates the tides and this will happen essentially forever. The forces involved do not stop or disappear. The real problem here is nobody has worked out how to exploit the Moon to make money and has clearly looked to the comfort zone of the tried and tested, but wholly unsustainable, methods. Some look ahead, but the 'average' consumer is not really interested. That's the truly pathetic part and belongs exclusively to the moron.
