Humanity’s Greatest Challenge On Earth Today: Adapt or Die
It’s amazing that scientists today have to resort to such obvious headlines such as “ without water we die ” but they do I believe because the majority of society simply does not get it and simply go about their daily lives, as normal, as if there were no crisis.
What is the Number 1 crisis on Earth today?
California has only 1 year of water reserves left, and before you say well I don’t live in California that’s where 99% of most US produce comes from. Beyond California’s warning sign humanity’s alarm bell tolls loudly in Sao Paulo , the world’s 12th largest city, which has only 2 months water reserves left leaving millions with only a few hours of access to water each day.
Simply, burning fossil fuels like coal that contributes 44% of annual CO2 emissions or oil at 33%. CO2 is a GHG trapping heat in our atmosphere . This is not theory this is fact and it’s going to get worse before it gets better as the fast retreating ice sheets (alarming video) expose and release methane gas which is 21x worse than CO2 as a GHG. We’re not cavemen anymore. Blatant burning & consumption of resources, as if there is no consequence, is destroying our planet.
As a species we are now in uncharted waters. Never before since man walked the Earth have CO2 levels been this high. In over 800,000 years of ice core records atmospheric CO2 levels have averaged approximately 280 PPM. On May 9, 2013 the 1st daily recording of 400 PPM was reached. As of this February we’re now averaging monthly over 400 PPM of atmospheric CO2. It’s as if we foolishly believe we are separate from the planet and ecosystem instead of a part of this beautiful world.
Whilst some try to confuse the global warming debate it can simply be expressed in these terms: Plants consume 26% of global CO2 emissions, our oceans 24% and our atmosphere 50%. Quite simply we are creating more CO2 than plants & trees can absorb. The remaining CO2 accumulates in our atmosphere trapping heat whilst the rest is absorbed by our oceans acidifying them in the process. Those of you that understand  the importance of alkalinity to human, animal and plant health know the dangers of this alarming acidic trend .
Life will go on but whether man survives remains to be seen and depends on how we react to this crisis. Humanity now faces it’s greatest challenge. The signs are all there heeding us to change our parasitical acidic ways to a symbiotic and sustainable alkaline way of living.
Will we choose to do so is the question?
The path ahead is clear: adapt or die. Not tomorrow but today. No longer can we as individuals, corporations or governments afford to ignore the affects of 150 years of fossil fuel use, nor can we continue with business as usual. The effects of fossil fuel use will continue to increase the CO2 levels of the planet and negatively affect our climate and the future of thousands of species, including ours. We now have the choice of business as usual and the continued burning of dirty fossil fuels and the acidic polluting of the planet, or renewable and sustainable alternatives from solar or wind.
Arterran Renewables : Our Future Is Green. Please do your part in creating a sustainable alkaline tomorrow. Live symbiotically with our planet. After all, she’s the only home we have.  If we do NOT make this choice we will ALL surely DIE!
