Real terrorism is the willful destruction of the planet

Real terrorism is the willful destruction of the planet

 

Whales and Dolphins are dying around the planet because the Ocean is dying.

THE OCEAN IS DYING

AND WHEN THE OCEAN DIES.

WE ALL DIE!

40% loss of phytoplankton since 1950.

Phytoplankton provides more than 50% of the oxygen we breathe.

The massive slaughter of the whales has diminished the nutrients required by the phytoplankton.

We have lost more than 90% of the fishes since 1950

The massive slaughter of the whales has diminished the nutrients required by the phytoplankton.

90 million sharks massacred every year.

And what remains is being attacked with super trawlers, 100 mile long gill nets and long lines, huge purse seiners, fleets of illegal fishing vessels.

Pirate whalers, merciless dolphin killers, Tuna speculators lowering populations to keep prices high.

Greed and lack of empathy - the ecological insanity of humanity.

Diminishment of bio-diversity and the diminishment of interdependence has led to the diminishment of resources.

Human Population of the planet in 1950: 3 billion

Human Population of the planet in 2015: 7.5 billion.

65 billion animals slaughtered annually to feed an escalating human population growth.

Plastic in the Ocean. Massive Radiation dumping from Fukushima, Collapsing dams spilling toxic waste into the Amazon. Worldwide die-offs of whales and fish, seabirds and turtles. Sonic pollution from oil companies and the military killing whales and dolphins. Melting glaciers, rising seas, wars, famine, pestilence and an increasing level if willful ignorance, denial and greed.

Real terrorism is the willful destruction of the planet, the massacre of the species we depend upon for survival, deforestation, the destruction of the Ocean.

The real terrorists are head-hunting lions, cutting the horns off rhinos, the tusks off elephants and leveling forests and spewing toxic waste into the waters of the world.

All of this could be addressed positively if we end the senseless wars, the willful poisoning of our soil and our bodies, if we made the decision to live on this planet with responsibility to all the future generations of all species.

The question is what the hell are we going to do about it?

We need to focus our passion for life and harness it to the courage and the imagination needed to heal ourselves and to save ourselves from ourselves.

What is the answer to an impossible and overwhelming problem? I believe the answer is in finding an impossible solution and I believe we can find that impossible solution, because if we can't, there will be no future for humanity and I intend to do all that I can to work with as many others as possible to defend this future.
