What About The Earth?


Today in this post ,we go back to the Year 1992,when over 1500 of the world's scientists--including more than half of all living Nobel Prize winners --signed The World Scientist Warning to Humanity.This document reflects growing concerns about the state of the biosphere:
Author:Moti Nissani
Nissani Moti is an inter disciplinarian holding degrees in genetics,philosophy ,and with many publications in genetics ,ecology ,politics ,science education ,and language instructions.
His essay below provides a brief introduction to the twin problems of overpopulation and deforestation ,especially in Nepal's context.

Nissani further writes:Human beings and the natural world are on a collision course.Human activities inflict harsh and often irreversible damages on the environment and on critical resources .If not checked ,many of our current practices put at risk the future that we wish for human society and the plant and animal kingdoms,and may so alter the living world that it will be unable to sustain life in the manner we know.Fundamental changes are urgent if we are to avoid the collision our present course will bring about.
In an unusual joint statement of the same year,the Royal Society Of London and the U.S National Academy of Sciences concurred:
The future of our planet is in the balance ,sustainable development can be achieved,but only if irreversible degradation of the environment can be halted in the time .The next 30 yrs may be crucial.
The facts speak for themselves.The chances of contracting cancer,emphysema,or asthma,are far higher now than they were a century ago.Human sperm counts in many localities are worrisomely low.Many of us suffer from premature hearing loss traceable to excessive noise.
We work longer hours than our parents did and spent more time in getting to and from work.We are troubled by the effects of such things as lead and dioxin on our children's intelligence and health.We think twice nowadays,before plunging in hot summer days,into possibly contaminated rivers ,lakes or seas.We can no longer experiance true wilderness.We are uneasy about poisons in our food and drinks;in our homes and work place ;in our air,water,soil;in our brainsand livers,in our pets,domestic animals ,lawns,and farms.
We are surrounded by signs of global environmental decline.Worldwide,some species of frogs,salamanders,and penguins are declining.We have apparently learned nothing from the extinctionof the dodoand the great auk,of the wild of the most human-like minds we know of-those of apes and cetaceans -is in doubt.Entire fisheries are acting as f there are no such things as carrying capacity and future and future generation ;as if we have learned nothing from the environmental failures of earlier civilisations.We continue to produce plutoniumand other long-lived poisons,even though we know that nothing on earth can be safely sequestered for millennia.We continue to litter space.When we fight pollution,we typically try to partially clean things up after the fact ,insted of opting for the cheaper and healthier path of preventions of sizzling temperatures ,floods,tropical diseases and mass migrations will prove wrong.
It takes a great deal of study and reflection to undersatnd the nature ,causes ,consequences,and cures of just one of these environmental ills.No comprehensive coverage of any single ecological issue can be undertaken in this brief,introductory essay.Instead,I shall only limit myself to a few cursory remarks about two major interrelated challenges:overpopulation and deforestation .In doing so ,I hope to alert you to the seriousness of both and to the need for collective and personal actions.

A proffessional mountaineer cum skier, Fredrik Ericsson, died yesterday, Friday, while trying to summit the K2 mountain in Pakistan.The CNN had special interview with one of his friend David Schipper through telephone.The incident occurred when Ericsson was attempting to become the first man to ski from the summit to base camp,at around 7:00am to 8:am,said Schipper, who also clarified that he learned of the accident on the world's second-tallest peak in a satellite call from another fellow climber Fabrizio Zangrilli.

He described the bottleneck as a "steep and narrow section with thousands of meters of exposure below."
Ericsson, along with his climbing partners Trey Cook and Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner, had begun the summit push between 1 a.m. and 1:30 a.m. in low-visibility weather.
They approached the bottom of the bottleneck,after serveral hours of climbing,at this point, Cook returned to Camp 4, leaving Kaltenbrunner and Ericsson to continue
As Ericsson was attempting to fix ropes to the snow and ice along the route he "lost his purchase and was unable to arrest his fall," Schipper said.
Ericsson's body, resting at about 7,000 meters, will remain where it fell, Schipper said on Ericsson's website.
"His parents have requested it remain in the mountains he loved," he wrote. "Retrieval would be exceptionally dangerous"he was quoted as saying.

Brown Voted Third WORST Prime Minister.....

LONDON:Gordon Brown, Former Labour leader has been named the third worst prime minister since World War II, a survey by more than 100 leading academics revealed.

According to The Sun, academics led by University of Leeds Professor Kevin Theakston rated him tenth out of the 12 post-war premiers, ahead of Sir Anthony Eden and Sir Alec Douglas-Home, two men who have long been associated with failure.

They were being polled on how much the nation's leaders achieved while in No 10.

Brown's only real success was his action to prop up the banks during the credit crisis. Building up record government debt is seen as his biggest failure. He was also slated for bottling a general election in 2007, the paper states.

The poll rated Labour's post-war Prime Minister Clement Attlee, architect of the National Health Service (NHS), easily topped the poll with a score of 8.1. He is followed by Margaret Thatcher, who scored 6.9, while Tony Blair came next to her with 6.4 score.
