We wonder why some wantonly destroy our planet, now I remember why

The Guaraní Aquifer is a truly fabulous underground water system

6 Years ago we had a particularly bad climate report and it got me on to the subject of fresh water which amongst many things has become a pet peeve. Of late the question has been posed often as to why would oil, energy, and other corporations destroy the planet and ruin our fresh water supply when they too depended on it. Then I remembered why.

Climate Report's are increasingly dire but after discussing it with you, the poor getting hit and the rich fleeing to South America which has been the case for years made perfect sense!

We discussed the growing apocalyptic climate situation. During the course of discussion I learned an awful lot that really makes sense now that I see the dire predictions and how they will affect the worlds poor, ours included. political semantics aside just look at this and what I learned from you.

The world faces increased hunger and water shortages in the poorest countries and even in the richest, massive floods and avalanches in Asia, natural and man made catastrope's around the world, and species extinction unless nations adapt to climate change and halt its progress "you know it never will" according to a report approved by an international conference on global warming. I hate to say it but I do not see a 100% turn around changing anything in time but we still must do it.!

The poorest of the poor in the world -- and this includes poor people in prosperous societies -- are going to be the worst hit," Pachauri said. "People who are poor are least able to adapt to climate change.The report said up to 30 percent of species face an increased risk of vanishing if global temperatures rise 3.6 degrees above the average in the 1980s and 1990s.

Areas in drought will become even more dry, adding to the risks of hunger and disease, it said. The world will face heightened threats of flooding, severe storms and the erosion of coastlines.This is a glimpse into an apocalyptic future the Greenpeace environmental group said of the final report. "You and I know it is here already"

Man's livable habitat will shrink starkly, said Stephen Schneider, a Stanford scientist who was one of the authors. "Don't be poor in a hot country, don't live in hurricane alley, watch out about being on the coasts or in the Arctic, and it's a bad idea to be on high mountains with glaciers melting."

We discussed yesterday the fact that a worsened return to the Dust bowl in America is forecast. We already are experiencing more severe storms with human and economic loss, and cultural and social disruptions.We are also already experiencing more hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, droughts, heat waves and wildfires. Knowing this is already happening it makes sense now what I learned from some of you but in a minute please!

We also learned and this only makes sense, that Africa will be hardest hit. By 2020, up to 250 million people are likely to be exposed to water shortages. In some countries, food production could fall by half, it said. Knowing the cries around the world already to increase aid and help to the starving people of Africa this is telling and Dire news indeed. We also know that Parts of Asia are threatened with massive flooding and avalanches from melting Himalayan glaciers. Europe and Australia will be greatly affected from even moderate increases in sea temperatures and changing temperatures as we already see.

That does make me remember that when I was in College a Woman who was a survivalist wanted me to go with her to Nova Scotia because it was believed even then that, that would be one of the only areas spared. Now that brings me to what some people brought to my attention and to put 2 and 2 together.

I have heard here half jokingly that Bush had purchased 3,000 acres in Paraguay and after he screwed up America he was going to flee to Paraguay.
Then someone educated me as to what sits under Bush's little Paraguayan Paradise. the Guarani Aquifer!

After learning this I found out The Guaraní Aquifer System (SAG) is one of the world´s most important fresh groundwater reservoirs, due to its extension (1,200,000 km2) and its volume (40,000 km3). The SAG is shared by four countries: Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay (South America), which use this resource for various purposes with different exploitation levels. GUARANI AQUIFER SYSTEM

After I found this all out I was told that Ted Turner recently bought 37.000 hectares (1 Hectare = 2.471 Acres)from Argentina and they have sold a ton of their land to the rich who were buying up land in water. Hearing the news from the report and that it would affect the poor and our water and food supplies the most it all dawned on me.

The rich are destroying the world for their profit and while the rest of us are doomed to try and survive in the mess they created for their financial gain they will flee to relatively safe areas with protected underground water sources and they will be protected to start over again. I find it very disturbing! Please think about this and let me know what you think.

We are killing ourselves not just the ocean, our food supply,and the planet

Argentina aims to revive nuclear exports after finding nuclear fish with 3rd eye

On the subject of self destruction remember this just 5 years ago?  When The Simpsons introduced the cute three-eyed orange fish called Blinky, it was just a silly commentary on the fact that there was a nuclear power plant in the town. But it turns out that the creators of the show may have been more right about the effects of nuclear waste than anyone knew at the time. Recently, five fishermen in Argentina caught a real-life Blinky in a lake that receives runoff water from a nearby nuclear power plant.

They were shocked to see the surplus eye staring back at them. The men who caught the mutant say they have been fishing in the same spot for years but have never encountered a creature like this before. Not surprisingly, they’ve decided to skip frying up this bizarre specimen – instead, they plan to send it off for scientific testing.

Argentina aims to revive nuclear exports: The Latin American country's nuclear program dates back to the 1950s and, under military rule, drew U.S. ire amid suspicions the dictators planned to produce weapons of mass destruction. Argentina has two nuclear reactors in operation in Buenos Aires and Cordoba since 1974 and hopes to launch a third reactor this month after tests begun last year.

Fernandez says his government wants to sell nuclear products and materials and hire out experts and technicians. Details of the accord with the UAE were not revealed. The Arab state is vying with northern neighbor Iran to build a nuclear capacity it says will be for peaceful civilian purposes only. Saudi Arabia and other neighboring Arab states in the Persian Gulf have also announced plans for nuclear development programs.

Can't we see what we are doing to ourselves and our only mother earth and take responsibility for it? What the hell is wrong with us? We create 3 eyed fish before we dump the water into the ocean. Just look at what Japan is doing. Can Argentina or any of us be trusted?

Argentina has 3 power plants itself and Brazil also has a nuclear power plant. I had no idea. Can they be trusted with this knowledge. I think not.No one else can, we are creating a planetary nuclear soup that we have to live in and eat. If we nuclearize our food what do they think is going to happen to us? Are we going to grow a third eye too and worse?

Record high radiation level found in fish : Tokyo Electric Power Co (TEPCO) said caesium equivalent to 254,000 becquerels per kilogram - or 2540 times more than the government seafood limit - was detected in a "murasoi" fish. The fish, similar to rockfish, was caught at a port inside the Fukushima plant, a TEPCO spokesman said. 

The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant was battered by a towering tsunami following a huge earthquake on March 11, 2011, causing reactor meltdowns which spewed radioactive contamination into the atmosphere. Fishing around Fukushima was halted and the government banned beef, milk, mushrooms and vegetables from being produced in surrounding areas. It gets much worse! 

Fukushima radioactive groundwater rises Worse,the clean up crew has started dieing.

Radioactive plankton found near Fukushima plant: Researchers say high concentrations of radioactive caesium have been detected in plankton in the Pacific Ocean off the shattered Fukushima nuclear plant. The Fukushima nuclear plant was badly damaged in the March earthquake and tsunami that struck Japan, and has been leaking radiation ever since. 

 It is feared more radiation could now enter the food chain and you see it is. Research leader professor Takashi Ishimaru told Japan's NHK network sea currents had carried contaminated water south from the nuclear plant, heavily contaminating the plankton. A wide range of fish and other marine species feed on the plankton, leading to fears it could have a serious impact on the food chain.

Phytoplankton the enabler of all life: We are killing ourselves not just the oceans. 

 We are killing our oceans, we are killing ourselves and it is much worse then you realize. I always say "remember where life came from" we are killing the phytoplankton as you all may know by now but I for one had no idea how critical a role it played in mans life, all life, including the earth itself. Makes sense if you realize this planet and all life forms on it are all one. 

This is critical but watch this video from a friend who speaks about super foods. It was sent to me with that in mind but when I heard the part about phytoplankton's I stopped in my tracks. It is a natural vitamin and mineral supplement. I was amazed but take a quick glance at this.

According David Wolfe marine phytoplankton is the number one food on the planet. Marine phytoplankton is the smallest organism on the earth. It's the bases of the entire food chain. It grows in the ocean and produces more oxygen than all the forests combined times three. It's the bases of sulfur. Whales eat it, dolphins eat it. It's food for all animals at all ages. It's a complete protein source. It contains EPA and DHA, 100% pure without contaminants. It's one of the highest mineral and anti-oxidant foods. It contains about 90 minerals. Why not go back to the bases?David says we can't kill all phytoplankton but I beg to differ as we are!

 Scientists may have found the most devastating impact yet of human-caused global warming — a 40% decline in phytoplankton since 1950 linked to the rise in ocean sea surface temperatures. I happen to think it is largely due to man and our pollution though some may be natural but I doubt it. We’ve known for a while that we are poisoning the oceans and that human emissions of carbon dioxide, left unchecked, would likely have devastating consequences. We are all part of the whole.

*“Phytoplankton are a critical part of our planetary life support system. They produce half of the oxygen we breathe, draw down surface CO2 and ultimately support all of our fishes said marine biologist Boris Worm of Canada’s Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia. We say the ocean is critical to life but personally I had no idea how critical. I thought we were talking giving up fish for food not life itself. Somebody of consequence better wake up! 

So why should it be any surprise the fish that eat the phytoplankton are radioactive? What are we doing to ourselves?
