What is Earth Telling Us?

Preface

As we humans continue deforestation in tropical areas, massive air pollution in temperate regions, and numerous other ecocide activities all over the world, our planet (which is a dynamic ecosystem) is reacting in various ways.  The reactions in total are sending a message which is clear to anyone with either an academic ecological background, or anyone with an intuitive sense of ecology, and anyone with both.

The Message

Professor William E. Rees deftly explains it here:

Yes, humanity has done many amazing, wonderful, and productive things in the past 5,000 years or so.  There's no denying that.  Plus, in approximately the last 200 years, we've made advances in technology, health, food production, and more that are nothing short of miraculous.  Those accomplishments continue up through present day.

Unfortunately, however, for the last 50 years or thereabouts, we also have been on a path of species suicide.  We have been adhering to an ideology which preaches unlimited growth and overconsumption.  For all practical purposes, it's essentially the largest religion in developed countries.  [See the post immediately prior to this one.]

The disease, cancer, provides an instructive lesson.  What is the overriding characteristic of cancer?  It's unlimited growth.  That occurs in a finite body, and eventually kills the body.  In a certain sense, that's what some of our activities are doing to our habitat; and those particular activities are the result of the economic religion to which we are adhering.

Conclusion

The article cited above is dated April 6, 2020.  It deals with current problems, and suggested solutions.  It broaches subjects about which too many of us have had our heads in the sand for too long.  If we keep treating the symptoms of ecological problems rather than the root causes, organized human existence soon will be in dire straits... much worse than we already are.
