I. CRADLE OF CIVILIZATION
Nope folks, this documentary is not about the movie of Angelina Jolie from Tomb Raider. I will be discussing the purpose of life in general and the condition of the earth we have as of today.
Life is precious to everyone. Interesting about "Life" is that it surrounds us in every places, corners we look, exceptionally amazing even is that life exist in the extreme parts of the world one might not imagine, like that of the species living in the arctic and of those in the desert. However, only few people lead their life with the correct understanding of life. Thus I say this, what exists in life produces ones endless future. The karma and virtue we have built in our life, is it enough to withstand the future? NOBODY can guarantee our future to bear good tidings if one doesn't start to care. It thus a bearing to ones saying that if one don't plant trees now, don't expect plentiful harvest and earnings waiting to happen in the future. An ignorant fool doesn't know any better. Mankind should react, understand, and accept that there is death to life, and doing nothing about this is the way to ultimately speeds Armageddon on Earth. I am only just being realistic people.
Before there was a Promise Land and Moses, let us go back in the past, allow me to take you...
II. PANDORA'S BOX OF LIFE
Life's begins at 40 as the saying goes. Actually the beginning of life for our planet happened billions of years ago before mankind. The formation of the Solar System and the birth of our planet, the origin of life.
Life starts in the process of Evolution as historians found out th-ru science. A long time ago before the birth of Christ and that of the Jurassic Era, there are what we called theories of life, the Big Bang. Man's earliest studies and archaeological findings indicate that of the chemical evolutions of the stars and the supernovas and fossil remains that prove only what we need to know about, the evidence of life existing in the past thousands of years.
Generations and generations ago many famous theories was made. The Aristotle theory; the BIOLOGY of life ( possibly of the earliest ever recorded on life are the RNA Hypothesis, after is the DNA molecular world); others The Pasteur Theory or the Laws of Bio-genesis (life that was form by the rise of the non living matter), and Charles Darwin's Theory; Classification of Life, Taxonomy; and finally humanity, homo - homo sapience.
The ancient fossil remnants did after all hold the key to unlocking the web of mysteries and the past existence of man. The remains of early human and animal fossils, the discoveries often are significant and of strongest evidence one can find in existence that life was indeed present long ago. The Homo erect-us in Asia; Homo erg-aster in Africa, Australopithecines (primates that colonized the african Savannah millions of years ago) are only the examples found by these great scientist and paleontologist.
"Life is a planetary exuberance, a solar phenomenon. It is the astronomically local transmutation of Earth's air, water and sun into cells."
- Margulis & Sagan
>> RELEVANT ISSUES OF THE WORLD
To better understand our environment, one must have relative awareness on its surroundings. The earth's natural resources are slowly decreasing everyday. The cause of all this all are the dozens of problems affecting the nature itself, such causes is ultimately seen in the following.
*Devastation of the Marine Life.
We all know that water is essential to all forms of life. Nature's finest gift to humans and animals alike, these substances basically use to hydrate the body to keep one from being thirsty upon all kinds of activities. Water plays a critical role in the proliferation of life on earth. An elementary knowledge that water is all but abundant on earth, and it is this substance that many life forms is dependent on its survival. Humans uses water on many occasions, some for recreational activities. Water is the primary element to some of the sports that humans from time to time enjoy.
There are forms of life that lives exclusively or partly in earth's waters. Marine species living on water has its own chain of life.
Everyday human activities threat hens marine life. Just imagine if marine ecosystem is shifted from its natural course, the foundation of the earth sea floor will then be destroyed. With a continuous fishing practices like overfishing, such are the tuna long-line fishing, and whaling (whaler's are particularly common in Asia where whale fishing is a major trade or an indigenous practices), expect a major destruction of the marine habitat. Definitely fishing on this epic proportion will result in the collapse of major fisheries and possibly a future shortage of food resources for humans, and death to some animals whom its major source of food depends on the marine resources such are the dolphins, etc. Overall the availability of food will diminished literally.
* Air pollution resulting to Global Warming.
Air in which majority of all living things needs for its survival. Most air pollution comes from human activity: burning fossil fuels; natural gas, coal, and oil, to power industrial processes and motor vehicles. Among the harmful chemical compounds this burning puts into the atmosphere are carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, and tiny solid particles, including lead from gasoline additives, the particulates.
There are not much trees to provide humans with all the basic necessities of life. Its not only us that needs trees, don't forget the animal kingdom in which majority of its population lives and build their habitat. Bird needs trees for its shelter too. Some animals are either endangered or on its brink of extinction.
It's amazing how one average family alone can cause tons if not millions of fuel burning, from using household products that gives volatile organic chemicals, not to mention the global manufacturing industries found in each cities of each equivalent continent. Other air pollutants besides our own backyard occurs in places where one might not often expect to be coming from, such places are schools and offices.
Easy enough that most scientist believe that global warning is cause by the burning of these fossil fuels. According to experts from around the world, greenhouse effect are one of the reason that warms the earth much faster. The planet is indeed heating up more than it did before, much faster ahead of our time. This effect is caused by certain gases in the atmosphere. Air pollution destroy earth's Ozone layer and create a hole in the atmosphere. Radiation coming from the sun exhibit a disastrous and harmful effects; promotes cancer to the skin; and it harms the plants, animals and ecosystems leading to poor quality of life. Some of the most damaging air pollutants (found in the cities around the globe), are vehicular exhaust. Air pollution tend to remain in the atmosphere for some period of time, the earth's atmosphere is widely polluted due to world-wide use of certain gases, the harmful gases stays above the skies, preventing heat from ever escaping back into space and leading to the rise in global temperatures.
Environmental air pollution is a direct result of human activities. Air pollution leads to poor health and increases the spread of diseases. Indeed, the result of air pollution makes people sick, causes breathing problems. Other problems leading to air pollution is the changing of today's weather, the El Ni-no and La Nina phenomenon. The imminent danger caused by the warming trends to the North Pole, Antarctica (melting ice).
*The Heat wave that is already making today's headline news that claims hundred of lives each year
( *Heat wave is a risk factor one should be aware and conscious, accordingly it is one of the leading causes of death in America).
*The change in temperature also affect the farmers alike, dried crops will result in poor seasonal harvest , the result of poor harvest in crops leads to a billion dollar loss of industry, a major financial disasters.
* The lack of protective Ozone layer resulted in high exposure to UV light rays and radiation of the sun. Continuously out-gassing chemicals in the atmosphere is heating up the planet, and a source of constant temperature change. Apparently its no wonder why the majority of scientist have come to the conclusion of Global warming in the first place.
*Antarctica a brief history.The earth's coldest continent often called the Polar region (North and South Pole). Approximately occupies a total of 9% of the world's land surface, and contains over 70% of the worlds water & 90% of world ice. Life in the arctic is extremely abundant as well. The arctic provides a wildlife habitat for billions of species living in the icy region and to some part of the season, and that of the migrating species.
Amongst the wildlife are the polar bears, seals, penguins, the hundreds species of fish and whales. Tales of the ancient civilization that was lost long ago, lies deep, surrounded in its Icy mantle, the Atlantis.
*****
If the earth continuously warms up dramatically in the next few years, Ice in the Antarctic will melt and the earth's structure will geographically alter its Icy Landmass bringing a global rise in the sea floor. Flooding and tsunami's are one of the possibly destructive results it will bring.
*We know that thousands of years ago there we're bridges that use to connect the islands of each continent before due to high elevation on earth. NOW when the icy arctic landmass melt, surely an elevation in the earth's water surface.
"We simply cannot afford to forget that there are millions of people that will be hit by such a huge disaster, might be in the next ten years."
Global air pollution have increase dramatically within just few years of our time. The major boost in economy and commercial trade, science and technology, and wartime military. The world-wide use of military contributes majorly on air, land and water pollution, that is not only killing human lives but also on the earth's structure. The manufacturing of *Commercial air crafts, combat materials (weapons such as missiles and nuclear warheads ) bring on tons of pollution. And that of the defense at Sea-based platform for air-strike, chemical disposal at the sea, are environmentally hazardous and toxic.
- These heavy pollutants that are harder to clean up and contributing to nitrogen pollution that are often washed up on bays.
Therefore if one looks closely, our time is running out. Many of us have probably heard the word, Global Warning.
Everyday humans put tremendous pressure on the planet. Nature cannot hold the extreme toll of stress for years to come any longer. If mother nature falls apart in the end of all these abuses, the earth will surely die.
Volcanic eruptions, Earthquakes, Destructive Tropical Storms (and other disastrous weather phenomenon), Flooding, Tsunami's are among the various indicators enough to prove that the earth cannot tolerate human inadequacies any longer.
Our planet is fragile and definitely crying for an immediate attention! People need to realize that what we are doing now to the planet is potentially deadly and should be a cause for concern amongst us. Indeed, people should start caring now. The extensive overuse of humans on nature's resources will diminished in the next remaining years to come.
Preservation is key to the earth's future survival. We have to realize that it is not only us that lives here, but millions of interesting species. In order for the earth to live is to have mankind educated on the facts of life and the laws of nature. The devastating fact that the earth is not as indestructible as we think. Like Titanic, the earth have its weak point. What we need to do is to stop the unprecedented abuses on the land, water resources and that of the creatures living on the world.
"HUMANS DOESN'T NEED MORE VIOLENT DESTRUCTIVE WARS." We already have enough problems without the wars complication.
Certainly no amount of nation's power or richness can ever restore nature. It might heal the battle wounds, but it will however take years (probably a century) of building to even restore earth's beauty that was lost and destroyed years ahead of time. If not today, when will we ever start caring? We need to take care of the remaining beauty of our planet before it will even take care of us. Stop fighting and firing missiles and bombs on each other, but start building our future now before its to late to even begin. The future of our sons and daughters are not in anyway irrelevant, their future is ours to take care. And by the time we realize what is happening, half of the earth's population will be gone. A good example to these are the tsunami and katrina Victims. The way I see it, it's mass murder made by mother nature because we didn't take care of her. Here I ask anyone, our we the next to go? Will humans survive the nature's wrath in the end, or will nature recovers its course like it did thousands of years ago but without us humans.
ONE order, One voice... our thoughts are ONE.
SAVE OUR PLANET.

News of today...
Among the many countries that are in political wars with each others gives a violent image of human kind. The conflict in (Iraq, Israel, and Lebanon) are disastrous. The degree of loss is extreme, it is damaging not only on the commercial and personal properties, the important historical landmarks (of archaeological value) that have taken years to build by their past ancestors are now being destroyed.
These kind of wars are tragic often to the very people living in these part of the world. The effect of these wars are alarming and shocking, mostly the damage done is immediately seen in the stressed air, land, poor water and health's infrastructure.
Pollution is an environmental problem brought by wars in Iraq, such are the burning of oil wells; and to hundreds that have been killed in roadside vehicular bombings in Iraq often burn to a black smoke containing hazardous gases which pollutes the air and rises well above the skies.
