Humans Be Damned! Build and Perish at Your Own Risk!
Environmental existence is ours and natures’ common denominator. But let us not confuse man-made disasters caused by inferior infrastructure on Earth with Nature’s roar.
Concern for extinction of wildlife is conflicting in the face of human survival. Think, had you existed when Dinosaurs roamed the earth, unlikely you would harbor concern for their extinction.
Global leaders and their Statesmen procuring profits by way of contracting dangerous substandard housing projects have blood on their hands for the limbs and lives lost in hurricanes, earthquakes, tornadoes, snowstorms…..
Moreover, no amount of ‘carbon capture’ will change famine resulting from an agricultural unfriendly location. Parts of India, Pakistan, Africa, Caribbean, and Mediterranean will continue to face death or destruction.
Thirst, famine, sickness and death are the “cost of doing business” as upfront profit driven Transnational Corporations would tell you. NOT A CHANGE IN TEMPERATURE.
Peasants’ choice is to move or be moved. Strive or die, risking it all. Look to the East and thou shall find the “Mediterranean Graveyard: Death at the Hand of the ‘Four Horsemen.’”
Mother Nature awaits the dead as Nature of Man is to build where he is not wanted:
Greek wildfires, South Koreans trapped underwater in tunnel, Canadian wildfires, Haiti’s unstable infrastructure due to repeated hurricanes and earthquakes, U.K.’s high-rise building housed with families burnt to the ground, U.S. Louisiana’s Katrina hurricane drowning thousands and dislocating survivors, Republic of Türkiye earthquake burying tens of thousands and leaving survivors destitute, Pakistan’s floods, Florida’s beachside questionable building infrastructure collapse burying residents, China’s public buildings crumbling, Qatar’s joining the West in building Olympic stadiums no matter the cost to workers’ lives………………………. “Humans be damned!”
Let’s face it. Earth’s extreme temperatures are not to blame for MANMADE wars, disasters, economic and trade policies. This old idea of a universal ‘global warming,’ now renamed ‘global boiling’ is absurd in the face of death at the hand of man’s avarice and vice.
Canadian wildfires did not ignite those in Greece. Toxins from train derailments in U.S. do not affect the lives of victims to train wrecks in India and Greece. No more than Corporations dumping of waste onto American drinking water sources affect the depleted water sources of Palestine or Israel.
Three Mile Island nuclear accident did not provoke the Chernobyl disaster or Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster. Just as nuclear dumping south of France and Switzerland did not stir earthquake in Japan. Nor the mine incidents in the Aussie out backs shake the mines of China.
Quite simply, Man’s actions and inactions.
A Day for Earth
Fools! Got a damn day for just about everything and everyone including ‘Earth Day.” But do you ever stop to ask why there is no ‘Man Day’ or ‘CEO Day?” Truth be told, they’d say, “EVERYDAY IS OUR FRICKEN DAY!”
Earth, with or without humans, will find a way to endure and procure as it has for centuries before creatures arose from her oceans and humans walked her grounds. Animal lovers or Environmental Advocates, best not confuse your admiration and interest to learn from wildlife if by doing so you need to overpower them with a dart gun to sedate them.
Image of the British broadcaster caressing a Polar Bear’s head bears a striking resemblance of hunter stroking the head of his dead prey before hacking it off to place on his wall. But unlike the Brit, for most hunters the thrill is not in an ‘easy kill’ but in the hunt.
Society mocks children for ‘building sandcastles.’ Yet, man builds theirs to reach the skies. Who is the bigger fool?
Alas, you can scream at the top of your lungs at the sea and curse the skies, but you will come to the cold realization of how small and insignificant you are. Cease or perish in the dust or crashing waves.
