We pass one half our lives in doing nothing, and the other half in ruminating upon what we have done. The problem with climate change is that the Earth is being looked at as a machine, as if it is not natural and always constant. However, that is not the case; the past 10,000 to 6,000 years on Earth have been rather mellow. A second problem is that climate change is…being looked at from a political perspective, basically scientists are told to study how humans are causing climate change, when they may not actually be causing the climate to heat or cool. So why are we blaming humans, what is the purpose? Man is not a sentimental animal where his material interest are concerned. In a World where hundreds of millions of human beings still go hungry, and the global and glacier recessions have left all, but the wealthiest fearing for their future. There have been humans on Earth for about 200,000 years, and Earth has been through a lot in its 5 billion years of existence. The faculties cannot bear to be forever on the stretch. There are currently 7 billion people in the World, and they are using up natural resources, stripping the land of forest (from 1990 to 2005, the World has lost 172 million acres of forest), and humans are polluting the air and water. What is so hard to judge as the human heart? I found it interesting to note that everyone is up in arms about CO2 and global warming, but no one is addressing protecting the oceans.

There is 12 percent of the planet’s land that is protected by a wild life preserve or a park, but only less than 1 percent of the ocean’s 135 square miles of oceans has no protection. The good news is that in 2010, the President Obama Administration created a Federal Ocean Policy that aims to govern U.S. water in comprehensive manners, instead of keeping fishing, recreation, and energy in separate soils. There seems in human nature a worthlessness not to be conquered. No one is sure to call it global warming, global cooling or climate change, but it is clear that the planet is being remodeled. About 15,000 years ago, the United States or North America used to be larger and it was home to mega mammals, the United States used to connect to Siberia, but as the ice melted, much of the land drowned, which reduced the size of the United States. Not just in the United States, but enormous sections of land were sunk, by rising sea levels from the ice age coming to an end. Over the 20^th century, the World as a whole has warmed up by 1 degree F, and this is leading some people to believe that the planet is heating up. Also, The Arctic is heating by 4 degrees F to 5 degrees F, just since 1950, and Arctic sea ice shrank to a summer low of 1 million square miles below the 1979-2000 average low.

However, some say saying that there is an ice age starting and they are using the record snow on the East Coast of America, as an example of how the planet is cooling off. In Chicago, during a winter storm, there was enough snow ploughs on the road, moving snow that they could have driven to the moon. 285,000 miles of snow was cleared and moved to snow parks, just in Chicago alone. However, as the climate changes rapidly, the territory to which species have adapted may become unlivable faster than the animals can respond. This climate change could put as much as 70 percent of species at greater risk of extinction, and some of my favorite animals—polar animals like the King Penguin are especially vulnerable. Yet, with the glaciers melting, along with CO2, seeds, animals and humans are expected to also be released from the ice, as it is being redistributed, so perhaps we may see some old species return? Some even suggest that there are asteroids in the glaciers, which produced under glacier lakes. There is also evidence that there were floods, on Earth, with waves of 800 to 1,000 feet high. By 2050, sea levels are expected to rise 220 feet, and there will be 9 billion people—human beings crowding out other species through sheer numbers, and with the sea level rising, there is going to potentially be less land. As a rising Middle class in countries in countered like India starting to consume at American rates including both food and energy—we could leave little room for wildlife.  From 1990 to 200, the World lost 172 million acres of forest.

Many people think that American and Germany and Japan and China are so far advanced, but we may not be as advanced as we think we are. In Ancient Egypt, there is evidence that they had air planes, did complex surgeries, and built these amazing monuments. So actually suspect that the original Egyptians where not all human because of the images we have of them and the fact that they were so advanced. People have always been radically false and unworthy. It is possible that the planet naturally gives off carbon dioxide because it is a living organism and there are internal functions going on inside of the Earth, which need to vent. However, we also have trees so absorb these emissions and produce oxygen. Nonetheless, some experts are saying that carbon levels are actually pretty stable when looking at the history of Earth. As mentioned before, during the last ice age, sea levels were 400 feet lower, so there was more land space.  As an ice age started in the 1,300s, in Europe, people literally stopped building the castles and massive cathedrals, and that is why many of them are incomplete, most cases has nothing to do with a lack of resources. Also, the black plaque started around this time, killing 25 percent of Europe’s population.

The World is busy and malicious by nature. 15,000 years ago, in less than a year an ice age could occur, and end, but the glaciers did not melt right away. So these glaciers that we have on Earth have to melt and be redistributed, they are not here to stay in the same place, the Earth is living. For example, and ice age is a lot like your freezer, when it stops or is turned off, it will take hour or days for the ice and food to melt completely, so this is what is happening on Earth. Also, looking back 15,000 years ago, the average temperature change could be 18 degrees F, in just a matter of years, so the World warming up by 1 degree F, over the past 100 years, is not a big deal. Dark and dreadful things are hid in the human heart. During previous Ice Ages, there were reports on no Sun for weeks on end, mysterious fogs, and collapse of agriculture, there is evidence that the human population once crashed, and in Egypt there used to be a lot of rain and this was detected by erosion on the sphinx, which really have not seen much rain in 11,000 years. As the planet starts to go through major changes, there seems to be a number of plagues, which come to be. Today we are seeing dead diseases comeback like measles, mumps, rubella, and interlocutors. The North Pole may be seasonally ice free as soon as 2020 and melting permafrost will release vast amounts of trapped carbon into the air. The reason the planet is warming up, while it is redistributing the ice is because ice reflects nearly all of the Sun’s energy that hits it. As the planet’s ice melts, more of that energy, from the Sun, is absorbed by Earth—which further raises the temperature. That, in turn, makes the remaining ice melt quicker.

Humans have it within his or her power to reflect, to weigh, and to appreciate, before he or she acts. Yet, some are still blaming CO2 for the ice melting on Earth, when it may be a natural change, as the ice is being redistributed. As a result, scientists have built machines to capture CO2 in the atmosphere, and therefore whatever climate—we want. However, again, people forget the World is alive, and it changes, much like your body does. Nonetheless, Global Thermostat cofounder, Graciela Chichilinsky, reports that  their company in Menlo Park, California can capture CO2 for less than $50 a ton. The purpose of their direct air capture is to cool the Earth through a form of geoengineering. Human beings are distinguished by nothing more than by a propensity to imitation. Geoengineering is risky and it raises sharp questions about who gets to decide if and when it is deployed. However, it is important to note that higher levels of CO2 also acidify the ocean, and threatening marine life. So yes, some parts of the World is heating up, but it is going to cool off. The warmer regions of the Earth, scientists have thought about misting the cloud with sea water so they will redirect the sunlight and allow the planet to cool off. Climate change is controversial and very important, as it impact everyone. It is the still sow that drinks up all the draught. The World used to have longer seasons because it was warmer. Humans used to worship the Earth and during this period of the early Neolithic era, there was no evidence of warfare. Growing seasons were longer, you could farm 2,000 feet higher in the mountains. For 3,000 or 4,000 years, humans life expanded, and then the planet cooled a few degrees, and agriculture expansions contracted, and people migrated. Then we see the establishment of human conflict, possibly to fewer resources.

It was harder to grow crops and in Iceland, the human population almost was wiped out. It is our habit to say that while the lower nature can never understand the higher, the higher nature commands a complete view of the lower. However, the higher nature has to learn this comprehension, as we learn the art of vision, by a good deal of hard experience, often with bruises and gashes incurred in taking things up the wrong end, and fancying our space wider than it is. Humans live between two desires–one’s desire of spiritual peace and happiness, and his desire of Earthly experiences. Men and women are naturally more watchful in matters dear to them. To digress, the thing I hate about social media is it is supposed to be a tool for us to communicate with each other, but not many people actually comments or response to questions they are asked. And reporters are such a great resource, they have so much information that the public does not, but they do not share of comment on anything. I hate the fact that we life in a World where you can get fired for educating others, but it is considered freedom of speech to hate on Gods from other cultures. What would people do in this melancholy World if they had not inherited gaiety from the monkeys and oratory from the Beetles? May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. There is no calamity in life that falls heavier upon human nature than a disappointment in love. Human affairs will never be reduced to that state in which the decisions of the wisest person will be immutable.  It is no fish you are buying–it is men’s lives. I wonder who it was defined man as a rational animal. It was the most premature definition ever given. Man is many things, but he is not rational.
