- We're setting sail to the place on the map from which no one has ever returned, drawn by the promise of the joker and the fool, by the light of the crosses that burned: World Party - Ship Of Fools
When the White House’s top spokesman, Press
Secretary Sean Spicer said this week that President Bashar al-Assad had
committed atrocities worse than Nazi leader Adolf Hitler... Hitler, as the rest
of the world knows, gassed 6 million Jews in WWII… And a CEO of a top world
airline company claimed one of “his” customers acted “disruptive and
belligerent" as he was dragged helplessly, screaming and bloodied by 4
airline thugs, down the aisle of a jet after refusing to give up his seat
voluntarily, why should he anyway? He paid for it! Or when world leaders are
threatening to nuke each other, not each other personally you understand but
the millions of poor innocent people who are governed by these people, well it
gives us all an idea, just where the state of our global union is at the
moment. Not surprising then, suicide has reached epidemic levels around the
world…
Mutual
assured destruction (MAD)
As our world appears to head to a mutual assured
destruction (MAD) our leaders appear to be lacking in intelligence, commonsense
or are just too corrupt to fix anything. Some of you will agree and some of you
will say it’s always been like this and you would be correct.
However, it’s when you put the current
geopolitics in the same basket as the current geophysics together, we begin to
see a very disturbing picture of a disaster coming our way that is unprecedented
in its magnitude and size, a disaster which will destroy the planet, very soon
and not one politician or world leader can stop it from happening because we have
already crossed the point of no return years ago, we as a planet are on death
row waiting for sentence to be carried out.
Let us indulge...
WWF:
Wild animals living on Earth is set to fall by two-thirds by 2020
It’s already over for many animal species:
In just three years’ time the World will have lost two-thirds of all wild
animals.
This amazing statistic from The Living Planet
Index goes on: The number of wild animals living on Earth is set to fall by
two-thirds by 2020, according to a new report, part of a mass extinction that
is destroying the natural world upon which humanity depends.
By 2050 they will all be gone but don’t
worry the world we know won’t be here to witness the event.
The analysis, the most comprehensive to
date, indicates that animal populations plummeted by 58% between 1970 and 2012,
with losses on track to reach 67% by 2020. Researchers from WWF and the
Zoological Society of London compiled the report from scientific data and found
that the destruction of wild habitats, hunting and pollution were to blame.
Oceans
just as bad
Our oceans are in a similar condition, with
the Fukushima accident poisoning the Pacific and the stricken nuclear plant
sinking deeper into the ground and no known way to fix the problem, the only option
is to wait and see what happens in the next 50 years! It really is that bad.
Warming seas are causing toxic dead zones
all over the world’s oceans killing billions of fish, tropical barrier reefs
around the world are dying due to the warmth and with massive over fishing we
are causing too much stress on the fish which are left, without doubt, we are
too far down the line to save our oceans, they too, soon will die just like the
fish inside them and the animals on land.
A study by Boris Worm, PhD, of Dalhousie
University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, -- with colleagues in the U.K., U.S.,
Sweden, and Panama claims all ocean life will be extinct within the next 25
years. Once again the world we know won’t be here to witness the event
Major
quakes up by more than 400% since 1900
Major earthquakes have risen more than 400%
since 1900 despite USGS telling us otherwise, in the first 16 years of the 20th
century 97 major quakes were recorded on Earth compared to 2, 697 in the first
16 years of the 21st century.
Volcano activity shows a similar spike to
the quakes.
Droughts
and floods
Ethiopia, South Sudan, Somalia, Niger,
Kenya and Cameroon are enduring their worst drought in 50 years with millions
suffering severe hunger.
In a new phenomenon ”the weather bomb”
which drops incredible amounts of water in an area very quickly has wiped out
other crippling droughts around the world more or less overnight…
Peru, Colombia, California, Zimbabwe, New
Zealand and Madagascar, Namibia and Angola, all have had yearlong droughts
virtually wiped out this year, overnight, by massive amounts of rainfall often
bringing many casualties and damage with it.
Wild
fires
With nearly half a billion dead trees in
California and Colorado it’s not surprising wildfires are accelerating in the
U.S. However, it’s not just America it is a global phenomenon which is rising
at an alarming rate just in the last year.
In Florida the first three months of 2017
saw a 250% increase in wild-fires but the new “super fire” are not only
destroying millions of acres of bush but appear to be cable of destroying
entire cities.
Recently, Christchurch, New Zealand was hit
hard by wild-fires with thousands evacuated; Chile had its biggest ever
wild-fire with a whole town destroyed.
Wildfires across several states in central
U.S. in March, consumed an incredible one million acres killing thousands of
calving cattle causing evacuation of thousands.
The monster 'Blue Cut' and Sand Canyon fire’s
last summer caused the evacuation of hundreds of thousands of people and caused
devastation on a Biblical scale.
Climate
Change
The Arctic sea ice extent for March 2017 was
the lowest March extent in the 38-year satellite record. The extra warmth is
causing the Arctic to leak methane 200 times faster than usual as gases turn
parts of Siberia tundra into ‘trampoline’ soil. Atmospheric methane concentrations are of
interest because it is one of the most potent greenhouse gases in Earth's
atmosphere, more warmth more methane, more methane, more warmth… and when
leaked into the sea methane will kill all marine life. A deadly patch of warm
water along the American West coast called the ‘Pacific blob’, stretching all
the way from California up to the Gulf of Alaska, is thought to contain huge
concentrations of methane and is responsible for the death of hundreds of
thousands of sea birds along with other marine life in the area recently.
This winter, the Arctic was often warmer
than Southern US States and Southern Europe, parts of the usually warm Mediterranean
countries were so called thousands of acres of winter crops died causing huge shortages
in European supermarkets.
Lightning strikes are on a 12 to 24%
increase: The phenomenon appears to be worsening with climate change and last
November a rare phenomenon "thunderstorm asthma” claimed 6 lives in
Australia.
The increase in temperatures in India
Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Pakistan have become so extreme thousands of locals
die every year with temperatures often hitting 50 Celsius, 130 Fahrenheit,
melting roads and cars.
Middle
East
The gateway to Hell often called the Middle
East along with parts of Africa has caused a refugee crisis the U.N. says is probably
the largest global exodus in world history with nearly 100 million people leaving
the area, most of these trying to get to Europe, these people need help and should
be helped but the crisis has led to a terrorist invasion causing hundreds of
deaths on the streets of European cities and as IS are now facing defeat many many
more terrorists will go “home” to Europe.
On the bigger picture the Middle East has
brought the world closer to WWIII than ever before with Russia, Iran, Syria,
North Korea standing against the U.S and Europe.
Sickness
Runaway health issues are stretching
governments around the world, in many countries people are living longer but
there is an enormous spike in heart and lung disease, cancer, mental illness
and obesity.
Many poor souls have been forced to find
solace in alcohol or drugs
Violence and gun crime is at the highest
level ever and human and drug trafficking is happening around the world on an
industrial scale.
When we put all the problems of the world
in one basket (and I’m quite sure I missed some too!) we can see a bigger more
accurate problem as to what really is happening, sure all the above is seen on
our TV’s every day but we are drip fed with information, it is hardly ever
given to us in a bundle, and no wonder, we really would be in panic especially
when nothing will be done to rectify our predicament, and even if some world
leader or Organisation tried it’s simply too late, we can’t put the toothpaste back
in the tube
