Regardless of individual political, social and religious belief, each of us lives in a world where we need air to breathe, water to drink and food to eat. Against the backdrop of these basic needs humans struggle to hold onto and control the basic essential resources on this earth. Wars are fought to maintain control of these resources. Although fights break out over the ownership of gold reserves, oil and gas fields ... without water you can own all the oil fields you want and you will soon die.
For example, if an invading army suddenly faced a drought so vast that not a drop of water could be found anywhere, there is no invading army - they will have to leave or die together with the local population. If oil and gas reserves were found worldwide and food harvests fell by two-thirds, food would become more important than oil. We can live without oil and gas, but we cannot live without water, food and air.
It does not matter whether a tribe calls itself Isra, Araba, Scotia, Hindra or Akkada as they all need water and food regardless of the tribes name. The struggle to have water reserves and arable land have nothing to do with the name of your tribe. At the end of the day air is air, water is water and food is food. At the end of the day the collective are simply humans who will die without basic resources. I can carry a banner announcing that I am Mar from the planet Mars and still I am simply an individual with basic needs. I need a shelter built from the bones of the earth to protect me, I need to be able to feed myself and without water I wont even have the energy to build myself a shelter never mind go out and find food.
Without water the food I need wont grow. Without water those who depend on animals wont find any animals. The armies of Rome would not have walked very far if they were starving to death. War is the privelege of those who have the energy and the reources to fight. When Napolean marched his armies into Russia the people fled and hid, taking their food with them and destroying the crops before they left. The Russians then cut off the supply lines behind the invading army. They had no food.
If the pollution from petrolium dependant technology is creating some kind of imbalance to the planet (not global warming). An imbalance that is so severe that continuing to use petrolium is the most deadly thing we can do. Let's say because it is a killer, but we do not know all the facts. And even as global powers fight over the petrolium addiction the scales have tipped against us and the food chain has been broken ... and we are at the end of the food chain. Which in laymans terms means: First the plankton dies, and the coral, the little fish and the shrimps. The crabs die and the lobsters, the flounders and the cod ... then the bigger fish, the dolphins and the whales. Seabirds die, ducks and the geese. Then other animals get sick: The deer, pigs and cows. Then the land gets sick on top of weather so severe no farmer knows the seasons anymore. Don't forget we are at the end of the food chain, so when the natural chain dies we die too.
Right around the globe people may be called one tribe or another, and argue basic philosophical, social and political ideologies one amongst the other. But we can do that because we still have enough food in our stomachs and enough water to drink. It is more difficult to argue with a dry mouth and no food for the past month.
Our planet is changing its dynamics and to understand what is happening we have to understand the reality of the situation and get in touch with the facts. The chaos that will ensue is not ideological or political, it is a question of the management of resources. The intelligent management of resources is not related to political, ideological or financial gain. The intelligent management of resources is an essential componant of our future survival, and if we do not learn how to balance out our needs in an intelligent way then the human species will not survive, it will go extinct and the earth will get along just fine without us.
Global Warming
It exists, but not due to greenhouse gases. Oceans are heating due to hot spots rotating in the earth's core ... Gary Novak: Nov55
