Oceanic Disasters

Hi all,

Pls refer to articles in link below.

They are long and you need to register (free). If you think good things are never free and only money buy you value I suggest you read the articles to see if you get value from them - science is free, it had been since the Popes gave up on burning the fellas that started it off - the Popes did not do that for free though.

It is about the great changes in the oceans around us. Like some of the scientists quoted in here, I also used to think that the great oceans that cover 70% of the earth's surface and holding more than 95% of all the water on earth would be the last place to suffer from our actions. I was not wrong. It was the last to suffer, just that it is much sooner than I thought.

Like a researcher was quoted, the next generation parents will be asking their children to eat their jellyfish, and not their fish. And chinamen that are now having jellyfish as appetisers and fish as main course will find their children having them the other way round - that is if they survive long enough.

The worst culprits are those living in the so-called developed countries, for obvious reasons. Moi in Singapore is one of them.

We have no hope if you still can't get this after reading the articles in the link. I personally have little for I know how many simpletons there are living in these places hitch-hiking on science and abusing the use of its 'products' under the guise of 'first world ingenuity' while conveniently thinking it is their god-given right or blessings, as some of them call it.

Hah, talking about blessings. I once a while get notes from such people telling the gods to bless me and everything else - huh, what god-instructors these presumptuous simpletons are. They think that what we get, do or consume (what we destroy not counted of course) are blessings from the gods!

That is convenient because they could not figure out why their lives are so good (never mind if they had used their fathers' money to buy those 'passports', that's just god's blessings). They probably also think that their god-instructing exhortations or incantations would save the world from their stupid actions too!

With them around, we have little hope....



Below link contains a very good 5-part report titled Altered Oceans on reports of significant changes happening in our oceans (esp. around the US) in the last few decades suspected to be caused by environmental contamination caused by actions of man:
