EARTH MEANDERS: Only Cure for a Dying Earth May Be a Stewardship Revolution via Forest Protection Blog
By Dr. Glen Barry, Ecological Internet
Earth Meanders come from Earth's Newsdesk
If Gaia, the Earth System, is alive, then it stands to reason she can die. And the fact Gaia has not yet succumbed in past mass extinctions is no indication, and certainly no guarantee, that when hit simultaneously, in a geological flash of time -- with climate change, deforestation, toxics, soil loss, scarce freshwater, dead oceans and more; caused primarily by over-population and inequitable consumption -- that Gaia will not pass from being.
The degree to which humanity has changed Gaia's balance ecologically is clearly known by global change and ecological science, yet it is not well appreciated by most of the masses and ruling elite. Until it is, humanity and our sister species are careening... EARTH MEANDERS: Only Cure for a Dying Earth May Be a Stewardship Revolution via Earth Blog

growing in intensity and tinged with urgency welling up from the grassroots regarding
Peak Oil, catastrophic climate destabilization, biospheric toxicity, rapidly dwindling
quality of life, increasing wealth gap in the Global North, and increasing poverty in the
Global South: "What can we do?" However, all the proposed solutions from the
mainstream simply involve putting band-aids on the symptoms of industrialism and
empire.
For example, the "solution" to what is probably the world's number one industrial
disease, cancer, is to call on industrial medicine to create more industrial chemicals
that are marketed as drugs to mask the symptoms of the underlying cause -- instead
of doing anything to stop the...
Following Orders via Earth Blog
More than 7 million quids worth of police will be ensuring that no new ideas contaminate the G20 summit, thus making the world safe for inadequate investment, climate chaos, dehydration and myopia, with some open-ended blank cheques thrown in.
So, all in all, a nice little inheritance for the kids. But Nil Deperandum. The revolution starts at home.
