All Of A Sudden, Fish Are Dying By The MILLIONS All Over The PlanetBy Michael Snyder For example, just check out what is going on in Chile right now. The following comes from a Smithsonian Magazine article entitled Why Are Chilean Beaches Covered With Dead Animals? Compared to other countries, Chile is almost all coast, and that geographical fluke means that the country is known for its beautiful beaches. But that reputation may be on the wane thanks to a new sight on Chilean shores: dead animals. Lots of them. Heaps of them, in fact. As Giovanna Fleitas reports for the Agence France-Presse, the South American countrys beaches are covered with piles of dead sea creaturesand scientists are trying to figure out why. Tales of dead animals washing up on shore are relatively common; after all, the ocean has a weird way of depositing its dead on shore. But Chiles problem is getting slightly out of hand. As Fleitas writes, recent months have not been kind to the Chilean coast, which has played host to washed-up carcasses of over 300 whales, 8,000 tons of sardines, and nearly 12 percent of the countrys annual salmon catch, to name a few. Authorities in Chile are scrambling to come up with a reason for why this is happening, but nobody appears to be quite sure what is causing this tsunami of death. In Vietnam, things are even worse. At this point, so many dead fish and clams have been washing up along the coast that soldiers have been deployed to bury them Soldiers have been deployed to bury tonnes of fish, clams and the occasional whale that began dying in early April along the north-central coast, including some popular tourist beaches. Vietnamese officials facing growing anger over the disaster have not announced the official cause of the deaths, which have affected the livelihoods of tens of thousands of families. Elsewhere in Asia, there have been similar incidents. For example,CNN is reporting that one lake in southern China is currently dealing with 35 tons of dead fish At least 35 tons of dead fish appeared in a lake in southern China, leaving residents stunned. The piles of fish washed up in a lake in Hainan province on Wednesday, Chinese state media reported. Residents expressed concerns on pollution, but local authorities said the fish died as a result of salinity change. On the other side of the world, similar incidents have also happened in major lakes. Here is one examplefrom Bolivia Thousands of dead fish have washed up onto the shores of a lake in Bolivia. Just before they died, some of the fish had just hatched from their eggs in lake Alalay, in the central Bolivian city of Cochabamba. No one yet knows the number of dead fish, but they have stockpiled five cubic metres (177 cubic feet) so far, so its possible there is over a tonne of dead fish in the lake. And here is an examplefrom Brazil More than 200 tons of dead fish were removed from the Furnas Lake on Sunday (1st) in Alfenas (MG). According to the Military Police of the Environment, both fish raised in ponds, networks and those who are released, all of the tilapia species in the lake were affected. The damage to the psicultores is estimated at around R $ 900 thousand. I could go on and on all day with examples such as these. Just within the last month, 40 tons of fish died in India, 65 tons of fish died in Cambodia, 70 tons of fish died in Colombia, and millions of fish suddenly died in Indonesia. So why is this happening? I dont know. Could it be possible that these mass deaths are somehow related to the alarming earth changes that we see happening all around us? Without a doubt, we have seen a dramatic rise in seismic activity during the early portions of 2016. There has been a series of very destructive earthquakes around the world in recent months, and once dormant volcanoes are coming to life all over the globe with distressing regularity. Of course humanity has done much to destroy the planet as well, and we continue to deal with the aftermath of the Fukushima nuclear disaster. I do think that it is very interesting to note that most of these mass fish deaths have happened in nations that border the Pacific Ocean. I am certainly not claiming to have an answer for why so many fish are dying. All I know is that millions upon millions of dead fish are washing up on shores all over the globe, and people are really starting to freak out about this. We live in a world that is becoming increasingly unstable, and major disasters seem to be getting more frequent and more intense. Just look at what is happening up in Alberta right now. I believe that we are entering the perfect storm that myself and so many others have been warning about for so long. Or could it be possible that I am just being overly dramatic? Please feel free to tell us what you think by posting a comment below Michael Snyder is a writer, speaker and activist who writes and edits his own blogs The American Dream and Economic Collapse Blog. Follow him on Twitter here. Ever watch a geo-engineering campaign being conducted over you and trip on the volume of material it must take to effect so much change on the sky? BTW; if over half of our oxygen comes from aquatic vegetation;phytoplankton , algae BTW; if over half of our oxygen comes from aquatic vegetation; phytoplankton , algaewhats next? Humans become the next fish that die in heaps. Toxicity is cumulative; How realistic is this? Those who are involved in the geoengineering and poisoning would die too without oxygen It is not only realistic, but highly probable to occur. Professing to be wise, they became fools. Those fools are the ones who run things these days. College educated idiots who have had their minds corrupted by formal educational programs. Back in March we had a massive fish kill where I live. We had a large Brown Algae bloom that sucked all the dissolved oxygen out of the water. The result, millions of dead fish. Beautiful large Sea Trout, Redfish, Snook, Mullet and everything else was dead. Took a few weeks to clean it up. Pay attention to your recovery mode numbers and success. What recovers is never as lush, vibrant, thriving, or numerically equivalent. What you lose is not fully recovered anymore. Oh I know it will never be like it was. Weve loss hundreds of acres of sea grass, oyster and clam beds, etc. It will take decades to maybe come close to what we lost. It is a real shame things are happening the way they are. I sympathize, our woodlands have been obliterated by fungi, bacteria, and insect vermin. Weve replanted a lot, but the woodlands will never be the same around here. Weve lost botanical diversity that is not going to come back. We have to decide: geo-/climateengineering and the collaps of all sea life and life elsewhere or no geo-/climateengineering. HAARP, CERN, Fukushima, BP oil spill, Secret Military experimentation. Geo-engineering, ozone depletion, magnetic pole shift, chem-trails, fluoride, rocket fuel and aircraft fuel pollution, increased tectonic activity, any and all possible combinations of these is enough to make many animals die off including humans. 50% of all pollution is military. prior to Chernobyl, Three Mile Island and Fukushima the nuclear fuel cycle was responsible for a minimum of 1,000,000 new cancers per year planet wide. The alien,military/industrial/complex considers US as expendable do not look for solutions from them or from the Hillary/Trump presidential ticket. But what causes increases in freshwater lake salinity? Universally, it is water level drops, and drought is the cause of this. Terraforming would be the prime suspect. As for ocean waters, I believe ice ages have historically caused saline levels to spike in oceans. The Aluminum Oxide nanoparticles in stratospheric aerosols (geo-engineering) have a tendency to raise fresh water alkalinity. This is also killing (and has documented to have killed) about 90% or more of the fresh water invertebrates in streams in the western U.S. particularly California. This translates into no food for spawning Salmon and other fish, lower Salmon runs, fewer fish for sea lions, seals and aquatic birds to eat. Personally, I think we are only beginning to see the consequences of the Fukushima disaster. Within ten years, the radio-isotope-contaminated waters flowing out of that site by a volume of 88,000 gallons a day, (since March 2011) will have reached every major ocean on the planet. If the oceans die, I suspect that most of the Earths life will die with it. There we go, great facts Mr. Mark! Not only raise pH of water but our soils. Geoengineers. sigh. Have tried to get a conversation going with them and they talk to me like I am an idiot without answering my questions. I think that scientists that rely on grants from our govt have to say what they are told to say so they can get on with their other projects. The retired Nobel Prize scientists have LOTS to say against CO2, global warming. Geology 101 taught us that this crap is crap. Probably the same for geoengineers. I was surprized at their animosity when the label chemtrails is uttered Wow! A cognizant person! Pleasure to read your comment, thanks. Agree with most of this, lots of human (?), if we can call these creatures that purposely destroy Earth, humans. However we do know the puppet Hillary wont do a dang thing, however Trump is a wildcard. Which is why hes encountering such visceral resistance from the establishment in both corrupt puppet parties. Trump was hand picked by the puppets dont be fooled. There is no way jose that humans can destroy the earth, sweetie. We can, however, destroy the environment us idiot humans need to thrive and not become extinct. The Earth will go on just fine albeit having lost a bunch of species either naturally or by our selfish needsor by us having accidents, major boo boos like Fukushima. Major. Screw global warming, we ARE killing our ocean, all connected of course to weather, climate, atmosphere, food sourcesFukushima should never have happened. If there is any chance of failure such as ships with oil should not be allowed. One accident is catastrophic and wrong. Preventable. But money rules. Money is god. Money will cause us humans to go extinct. I dont see at all that we are killing this planet, ha ha, I see that we just dont FIT in any natural pattern, any environmental cyclewe arent NEEDED on this planet. Weve no important niche and if we all disappeared in an instantnothing at all would happen. Nothing. I am one embarrassed human! Presidents are puppets. Trump would be interesting. Hillary a nightmare. Do you guys actually think OUR votes count? Im glad you didnt include carbon dioxide and global warmingtruly most of all you listed I am paying a lot of attention todo you have any ideas for solutions? Even ideas that are way out there? As I understand the data, the ozone hole (aggravated by HAARP Solar Radiation Management) is allowing previously blocked UV-B and UV-C to burn not only the bark of trees, but also killing phytoplankton, the broad base of the oceanic food chain. The so-called ozone was supposedly over Antarctica so may not have killed much phytoplankton in the oceans? A lack of iron in the oceans is much more deadly. (1) While I have not independently reviewed the data, it is my understanding that the ozone hole is sufficiently enlarged as to influence oceans and land masses, no longer just Antarctica. Mark, the supposed ozone hole is normal low variance in the thickness of ozone above Antarctica. That was twisted into something to scare people. Ill repeat myself. Though I have not vetted the data myself, I understand that, due to HAARP and SRM aerosols, the ozone hole is now sufficiently large as to influence oceans and land masses. If you have contrary data I am happy to review it. Ill repeat myself. The problem is not allopathy, but love of money. The problem is the godless pursuit of money by corporations and a new generation of greedy doctors who serve themselves and their corporate masters. I do not take vaccines nor have my family vaccinatednot because vaccines are inherently a bad idea, but because the current business and depopulationist model has usurped a good idea and provided tainted products. Consider that smallpox vaccines together with public health measures eradicated smallpox (except from the devils biowarfare labs). Compare that with contaminated Gardasil and MMR vaccines that create most disease than they prevent. Vaccines are just one tool in the toolbox of medicine. Like another tool, a gun, the tool can be used for good or bad. Cutting out diseased tissue, whether an abscessed tonsil or burned tissue, makes sense. Good heavens! selfnews Post is foolishly nervous about hyperlinks I recognize that this is not the primary data and that this comes from a group with political agenda, however the article supports some points I have made and the article has an extensive bibliography: geoengineeringwatch dot org/geoengineering-is-destroying-the-ozone-layer/ Mark, wow, you found an Off The Chart scare article that did not give current numbers with numbers measured a few or more years ago. I asked you to provide contradictory data, but instead you have only sarcasm. So far we have only your opinion and your sarcasm. You did not ask me to provide contradictory data to your two year old article and I wouldnt have bothered anyway. I said I was open to any data that contradicted what I have read. You have provided no such data, only your raving opinions and insults. Since you claim to be so current on the subject and so knowledgeable, you should have the data at your fingertips, but where is your data? Apparently it is your data that is secret. Mark, you have presented no data to be agreed with or contradicted. I provided an article with data. You have provided no contradictory data, only raving insults, personal opinion, and outright deceits. Mark, your old fluff articles presents opinions without any data to back the opinions. Wouldnt you rather expound on your theory of Indonesians interbreeding with a species of Hobbit ?: theprancingpapio.blogspot DOT com/2009/11/hobbits-are-indeed-separate-species.html Mark, I understand that you have an issue with logic, but why do you want me to expand on what someone that I never met said. Nice battle, some twists and turns but somitcw you are undoubtbly the winner and Marks best friend when battleing seems to be google. I had more fun reading youre argue than the article, Thanks! Exess and aos Where is YOUR data about Indonesians interbreeding with a species of Hobbit? : theprancingpapio.blogspot DOT com/2009/11/hobbits-are-indeed-separate-species.html Mark, my first question is how you invented multiple species of Hobbit? Yes Mark, you made it clear that you dont know much about the supposed ozone hole. I believe you. You convinced me. Exactly, I do not claim to have expertise unless warranted. You, sorry to be blunt, feign expertise where you have none. With your careless prejudice, you throw out the baby with the bath water. I have already given examples of a beneficial vaccine (smallpox) and harmful vaccines (Gardasil and MMR). With similar illogic, your anti-allopathy dogmatism makes no distinction between the removal of abscessed tonsils or the immune tissue of a rupturing appendix (that no longer can prevent infections, but threaten life) and undiseased tonsils (a money-making fraud). These are distinctions with meaning, distinctions worth your notice. If you break your arm, have a peritonsillar abscess, or get appendicitis, please feel free to see your homeopath. Mark, the non-therapeutic attenuated virus smallpox vaccine was a pox on the U.S. and Europe. Europeans and Africans had had smallpox for centuries so people that could be killed by smallpox were already dead and left no descendants. Is English your native language? I have repeatedly stated I OPPOSE homeopathy as quackery. Your gratuitous use of non-therapeutic to describe the smallpox vaccine is just your evidence-free mantra. The smallpox vaccine was one important tool that helped eradicate smallpox from the world (except from the laboratories of biowarfare maniacs). Similarly I have made a careful distinction that you ignorethe difference between legitimate surgical removal of diseased tissue and illegitimate removal of undiseased tissue for profit. I praise the legitimate surgery and condemn the illegitimate surgery. Mark, you must really love homeopathy to bring it up over and over. You are welcome to joust with your own made up straw man arguments. Mark, Im just responding to your silliness. Silliness? Like your theory about Indonesians interbreeding with a species of Hobbit? t: theprancingpapio.blogspot DOT com/2009/11/hobbits-are-indeed-separate-species.html Mark, where did you read that I somehow inherited what people claim in Rampapasa/Rampasasa and how did there oral history become my claim? No, I really want to hear more about your theory about Indonesians interbreeding with a species of Hobbit: theprancingpapio.blogspot DOT com/2009/11/hobbits-are-indeed-separate-species.html Mark, please go visit there and ask them about their claim. Mark, the word quackery came from the German pronunciation of quick silver. and people actually wrote letters before they had email so what? Times change. Technology advances. I am no luddite. Neither am I a reflexive first adopter of technologies. I prefer to wait and see if the technology is actually better. Homeopathys fundamentals are flawed. Treat same with same? Treat diarrhea with laxatives/purgatives? Result: dehydration and death. Treat fever with more heat? Result: death from hyperpyrexia. The more the medicine is diluted, the more essence remains. Superstitious magical thinking, long debunked. Mark, quack is a quack is a quack is allopathic medicine. Nothing changed. My homeopathy? I oppose it. If you intend to have a discussion, please read carefully. Mark, you are the one that brings up homeopathy and imply that it is somehow different than different branches of allopathic medicine. When you lump homeopathy with allopathy, you betray your ignorance of the subject. Carefully re-read what I wrote. I condemned homeopathys treat same with same precept. You are raving. Mark, where do people get your beloved homeopathy license? Clearly you are dishonest. I oppose homeopathy, yet you insist it is my beloved. Mark, homeopathy is the favourite thing that you mention. Searching the internet for your posts, I see that you habitually make outlandish claims for which you can provide no supportive data and that you habitually use straw man arguments and insults. Here is one of the most amusing examples: And this thread is not the first in which you make fake attributions: theeconomiccollapseblog DOT com/archives/24-outrageous-facts-about-taxes-in-the-united-states-that-will-blow-your-min And here you weigh in on interbreeding with a species of Hobbit: theprancingpapio.blogspot DOT com/2009/11/hobbits-are-indeed-separate-species.html Mark, the people that live in Rampapasa/Rampapasa claim that they are descendants of other people. I didnt invent what they said but merely posted pictures of the people that made that claim. If you dont want to believe them, please tell them. Your posts here and elsewhere show a pattern of: You have done the same here. I dont know whether your problem is psychiatric, Alzheimers, fronto-temporal dementia, or spiritual, but, now that I am aware of your habitual dishonesty, I see no reason to interact with you any further. Mark, so you gave everyone another insulting and off-topic post. Mark, Ive posted many times many places. 9 According to The Tax Foundation, the average American has to work until April 17th just to pay federal, state, and local taxes. Back in 1900, Tax Freedom Day came on January 22nd. P.S. There was someone complaining about my post. Problem someone as bad at math as others that complain about my posts. Yes, you have posted many places and your posts show a pattern of: Mark, so you gave everyone another insulting and off-topic post. Yes, I exposed the truth as to why the allopaths wanted so badly to force an eleven year old girl to have supposed chemotherapy. But I really want to hear your theory about Indonesians interbreeding with a species of Hobbit: theprancingpapio.blogspot DOT com/2009/11/hobbits-are-indeed-separate-species.html Mark, please go visit there and ask them about their claim. i hope they consider looking into la nina/el nino conditions and of course contaminations and or sonic under water attacks The lakes takes Fukishima off the hook. I wonder where Monsanto and there ilk fits in this puzzle? I know recently China has been poisoning the waters of the coast of one of the Spratley Islands so they get rid of the Filipino fishermen that live there and make the island into a military base. All the other comments bring up valid points too. sorryFukushima is the catalyst hanging noose even with the lakes.remember how Water works, evaporation, clouds, rain. Radiation has now been widely distributed to different degrees over the entire world. The dead fish are only the beginning, its the fragile north south poles that we should be paying close attention to. Global warming has been extremely harmful, but radiation fall out changes the molecular structure of ice so it is not able freeze the small critical creatures like Krill that almost exclusively support the web food chain are made of a very important building element call Chitin, which actually absorbs radiation destroys Chitin in the process. There are many toxic sources that have been destroying the earth her creatures for years, but Fukushima was the tipping point. Most people dont even know that the Pacific ocean has been unable to support life for a while now. There are only a few selected areas that are still able to hold life, but they are succumbing to the radiation too. While your conclusions may be valid?, your idea on evaporation and radiation may not be completely accurate. Watch the prices of canned fish in grocery stores and where the fish are being caught. If what is being said in this article is true and I have no reason to believe is isnt, than watching the 3 factors mentioned should give us a good indication of how large the fish kill problem is. It would be a good idea to include freshly caught fish also. But this would be more difficult because there would be no identification as would be WE DO NOT KNOW HOW OR WHY, BUT BEHIND EVERY DISASTER IS THE USA, and I mean every disaster of every kind, because at this time there is no evidence of anyone as nasty as the USA. It is the US satanic elite that cause mass dying all around the world. China deliberately damages the environment for geopolitical gain WE DO NOT KNOW HOW OR WHY, BUT Do you know what the Petkau Effect means? It is relatively new in nuclear sciences, and many folks never heard about it. Petkau discovered that Low levels of nuclear radiation can be MORE destructive over time than was first thought. Also, the info about global fish kills shared with us by Michael Snyder confirms the fact that within 18 months, a poisonous dump in one ocean body will mix homogeneously throughout the World ocean (all oceans are connected). It takes time for the ionizing radiation from radioactive articles to destroy tissue, but once it starts, then death comes rapidly. We are in an Extinction Level Event caused by three meltdowns in the reactors on March 11, 2011 at Fukushimathe rest of the insults like chemtrails, drilling accidents, etc. are contributing to it. FACT: The worlds Eco-Web is collapsingthe global fish kill is more evidence to support that fact, albeit the fact is not wanted. Governments know the fact, but are not going to tell the people, who might get mad. Reporting. R.E. Sutherland, M.Ed./ sciences Freelance 24 years Virginia Licensed Science Teacher (biology, chemistry, physics) 9.3 years-Nuclear lab and Nuclear Radiological Protection Inspector 1992 Certificate of Completion for Teaching Nuclear Topics With all the volcanic activity going on over the past couple of years Id be looking at the possibility of poisonous gasses being released into the oceans. CHINA has not been poisoning the SPRATLEY ISLANDS, only AMERICA DOES THAT, China even poisons baby food (milk, formula) with melamine! You look like an old Chinese woman who does not know anything about the brutality of Chinese who are taking over the South Pacific,dumping all nasty industrial waste into the ocean without knowing one day,there will be a dead sea even for their own children.You will die before that day but a lot of your grand kids will be terrible victims of Great China The globalists must have altered their chemtrail formula. Well said, Kerf. You are spot on. For some of us the dots are easy to join up. For others, they just fail to even try Does Fukushima ring a bell? Human overpopulation is destroying the world. How else could all the problems, such as the fish kills, be explained? All environmental destruction is human caused. Be the change you want to see in the world, then. All you have to do is remove yourself from this world and youd be helping 1/ 7,125,000,000th of the problem! My removing myself would not solve the problem. Youre the one making statements about too many people existing on the planet. The solution is for those who feel that way ought to start population reduction by going first. If there are about 4 billion people who feel the way you do, then population wouldnt be a problem OH WAIT! YOU WANT OTHER PEOPLE to stop existing, not yourself. Yeah, sure of course you offing yourself would not solve your eugenic mindset but it would solve OUR problem of having to deal with eugenicists. Like you. There is a way to reduce human population which would not be destructive. The China governments policy of only one child was a good plan. It would be a slow reduction, but a sensible one. How is murdering human babies a sensible solution? I did not say anything about murdering human babies. Apparently you incorrectly assumed that I did. Using good birth control procedures, along with a one-child policy, would be a responsible method of reducing human over population. No, all you are giving me is eugenic sophistry. Why is any of this needed anyways? The world is not over-populated. That is the fundamental flaw none of your solutions can fix. The amount of human beings existing on this finite planet is increasing dramatically. This finite planet cannot support more and more human beings continuously. The current quality of life for everyone is being degraded little by little. In addition, the planet is losing other species. The extinction rate of nonhuman species is accelerating dramatically. Will we lose all other animals? Ive heard all those various and sundry reasons before, Elaine. However, consider the framing of the question when finite is added to the human growth which seems infinite. But this is not the case and we all know it. We also know that nearly ALL INDUSTRIALIZED COUNTRIES RIGHT NOW are having problems with viable pregnancies to replace population lost through natural means. Only human vermin Muslims from 3rd world countries are breeding like lice. Maybe you could peddle birth control to Muslims before they out-breed people like YOU Who says this planet cannot support more people than it currently does? How do you know these things? I daresay you do not, but you speculate and feel like your opinion is based on intelligent points, but all you do is parrot demonic doctrines of yesteryears eugenic folks. Dont let that camel nose into your tent! The current quality of life is not dependent on volumes of people, but rather on the people themselves and their collective social value. Quality of life goes down the more restrictions are placed on life. Quality of life goes down the more socialist a culture becomes. Dont believe this? Simple: FACT CHECK ME. (better find out who is putting out those facts, also) Extinction rates are not caused by human population, either. Elaine, every single thing you brought up have nothing to do with one another. Animal extinction rates are caused by human ACTIVITY, not human population. While activity is a consequence of populating an area, more so are industries, mining, waste disposal, cultural values (are they disposable?), agri-practices, and policies and regulations attempting to curtain greed and corporate avarice. Dont forget sport, either. Eugenics is not the answer to human population, Elaine. Proper policy, living as moral humans, adopting positive worldviews that do not belittle being human and build dignity, being less selfish and more aware, caring for those protected classes that cannot fend for themselves: widows, orphans, the sick, the desperateall those things will turn the world around! You are very right in saying that activity has much to do with animal extinction. But that does not solve the problem of the limited space and resources of this earth. I agree with you on that, Elaine, but again, none of the things you mentioned are population-centric issues. Peoples attitudes, perceptions, values, and morals are to blame for slavery, violence, poverty (which is misallocation of resources). WITHOUT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT population, policy changes can fix what you list: slavery= aggressively go after kidnappers, execute perpetrators publicly, poverty= govt stops meddling in the economy and allows people the autonomy to make such decisions. Resource allocation happens on its own, the trick is to STOP GOVERNMENT FROM MEDDLING. Centralized government accounts for 99% of all human problems and 100% of all democide is government related. Think about that. Your overpopulation myth is a myth. Somitcaw, you are making ridiculous assumptions, saying that I advocate murder, killing babies, sterilizing people, or committing other crimes. Where did you see that on any post that I made? elainewoodriff, it is you claiming that the overpopulation myth is true. Somitcw, you are right it is wrong for Chinese babies to be killed, it is wrong for food to be poisoned, it is wrong for medication to be poisoned, it is wrong that water be poisoned. You are very right on all of this. I commend you for your ethical thinking. I am glad that there are people in this world that support all these views. The world needs more conscientious people like you. No the world is not overpopulated. It is the lack of natural resources, including fertile soil and clean water to supply the approximately 7.2 billion people which are continuing to increase exponentially that is the problem. The natural resources on our planet are fixed. The human population is not. Dennis Hoppe, fertile soil and clean water is what you make of it. The U.S. nation state of Texas could be divided into two billion lots for four person families and additional lots for churches, schools, and businesses. The actual fact of humanity is that people do not stay in one compact place. They spread out all over the world, taking up territory and expanding into habitats of other species, both plants and other animals, thus causing extinctions of plants and other animals. Currently, we are experiencing the greatest extinction of species, other than human, since that of the time of the dinosaurs. The U.S. is full of places that all you can see is miles and miles of miles and miles. It may apparently look that there is unlimited space to be seen, but the fact is that humans are increasing their take of global habitat, and leaving less and less for other species for their viable existence. Animals such as wolverines, bears, and wolves need very large territories for optimal existence, and unfortunately, their territories are being squeezed by human land expansion until they have not the right amount that they need. If your goal is to increase wolverine, bear, and wolf population with you believing the silly human overpopulation myth, then you should purchase large tracts of land or zoo cages and nurture the animals instead of killing humans. The question is would I want to live in Texas with a population of over 7 billion people crowded together. The nonrenewable natural resources and the logistics of transporting them to support a modern industrialized, technological way of life as we have in the U.S. would be unsustainable. The hydroponic farms and clean water purification systems as was suggested would take all the natural resources in the world just to build them. This is not even considering waste disposal that would be needed for this huge populations. Composting toilets are built from natural resources also. Dennis Hoppe, you are trying to emphasize the minor issues to be addressed instead of the possibility. First of all I respect you for your opinions. Lets get right to the overpopulation problem. The world population was estimated to be 250 million in 1 A.D. The world population in 1492 was estimated to be 500 million. The population in 1804 was 1.0 billion 2 billion by 1922, 3 billion by 1959, 6.8 billion by 2006. It could be 8 to 13 billion by 2039. (increasing exponentially) Extracting minerals including oil and natural gas from the earth creates horrible environmental problems. Mining them for such a rapidly increasing population is an even bigger problem. (more pollution) Alternate forms of energy are part of the answer and hopefully all of the answer to our energy needs in the future. So the problem isnt really overpopulation but the problem is having enough natural resources to give everyone in the world a modern technological society as in the highly developed countries like the U.S. Because that is what most people want. Industry and technology have created a much easier way of life for all of us in highly industrial societies. Maybe there are people in some countries that dont want modern technology, but they are probably in the minority. When people from third world countries get an education in first world countries and then return to their country of origin they see opportunities and try to convince their people to create a first world lifestyle. That in itself is not evil, however it will not be possible because of the lack of easy and cheaply obtainable non-renewable natural resources. It is estimated that some day the sun will get so hot that life on our planet as we know it will be impossible. But that is estimated to be in billions of years. The point to be made is that mankind will not physically survive this far future situation. So if we were talking about all the problems we are having now in the world in billions of years when life would shorty be no longer possible, our conversation wouldnt have much meaning. So mankind as we know it is not permanent. Lets get back to now. In order to have healthy crops the proper amount of trace minerals are needed to grow these healthy crops. Much of the soil in the world does not have the proper amount of trace minerals to grow healthy food. Whether there are sufficient deposits of trace minerals in the world to add them to soil and hydroponic agriculture is questionable. If we can find an inexpensive method for the desalinization of salt water it would solve the clean water problem. But at this time cheap desalinization is not possible. There are areas of the world that get too much water from rain, but much of it runs off into the oceans and is not usable. And building more dam and reservoirs create problems of their own. Now regarding Eugenics. If the average person living in the world today lived to be 100 years old (which at this time isnt the case) that means in the year 2016 approximately 7.2 people now existence will be dead.. Extending human life is a worthy effort. However that creates a huge problem Unless we extend the quality of life, increasing the quantity of years is meaningless. I would prefer a human population of 500 million people that lived forever than 10 billion people that are sick or starving. However I dont believe in killing 6.8 billion people to reach that goal. If we had a fixed population who lived forever or until the hotter sun made life impossible that would make it much better for the existing population. Now lets get serious. None of us is going to live forever, at least not in the physical body that we are currently living in. In fact nothing in the universe exists in its present form forever. . The only thing that stays the same is change. We live in a world that is a giant experimental laboratory with ever changing biological diversity. We dont need eugenics of the physical body, we need eugenics of consciousness (awareness) because it is higher- consciousness that is needed. There are too many barbarians with a low state of consciousness that are ruling the world. Fear, greed and power is driving them, not intelligence. They are not aware of the whole picture. They are not the people that should be in control. Not enough scientists, biologists and humanists in power. Dennis Hoppe Dennis Hoppe, yes, in one billion years, the human population may expand to not fit well in an area the size of Texas unless they have high-rise apartment buildings and underground cities. Since people will either all be dead or evolved far beyond what we are today to no longer be recognizable as people, I wont cry over it. Do you know anything about China factory dumping all kind of factory waste into the rivers or ocean? Just pour a little bit of Liquid Plumber into your soup or your beer and see how long your family will last. thangco11, please tell the Chinese that if they instead inject poisons into the ground like the U.S. fracking, they could destroy the ground water for centuries. Do you receive any money from the Chinese?According to this news article,most of the pile of dead fish come from Pacific Ocean close to those low standard countries and not the USA.Pollution in LA is no longer mentioned because of changes.Why is China claiming that the entire ocean south of it is now belongs to China to manipulate? A Chinese Rep told the Vietnamese they have to choose between fish or good steel from a brand new steel factory built in central VN?I am now a US citizen and I dont have to worry about my homeland being turned into China property,I only have to feed beautiful wild life outside my backdoor with the abundance of food that wealthy people throw out in the Sunday night black bins and contaminatons are a third world problem thangco11, the Chinese send me nothing but please ask them to start. They probably glow in the dark. The answer is simple, alarming, and irreversible. It was recently discovered that phytoplankton is ingesting marine micro plastic. What is not widely known is that as marine plastic decomposes it absorbs PCBs spelling the demise of phytoplankton. Phytoplankton is the beginning of the food chain and the largest suppler of oxygen for this planet. It is in decline as is ocean oxygen levels as well as atmospheric oxygen levels. The oceans are gone and the atmosphere is next. A few percentage point drop and its over. Some cities are already there. Millions of tons of the most radioactive water ever seen, has be dumped into the Pacific Ocean by the crazy insane Japanese. And they act like nothing is wrong and still expect to host the Olympics in Tokyo. This is why there is basically a news blackout on this, they dont want anything standing in the way of them hosting those games. And of course the News Corps are all tied in with the Nuclear Industry giants like GE, who owned NBC/CNBC/MSBNC for decades. It probably wont be much longer until Earth shakes us off like a wet dog. With current societies and modern culture being what they are, including pollution and the abuse of technology, cant say Ill miss them. Besides all the serious reasons mentioned below, Algae bloom, radioactive fallout from Fukushima, plastic particles poisoning fish and birds, oil spills etc. Plus the propeller noise affecting larger sea mammals and the huge number of other unwanted effects of human activities, there is yet another reason, often unnoticed previously, since we until recently, have had no means to record these incidents. Our earth is a living organism, as such change is the only sure thing. Love that you are a cat person! I think some of your ideas/feelings are wrong or at least you attribute too much power to the President. Chinas peoples are dying just like all of us are! Where did you get that information? The worst people are the rich. The richer the badder. Grins. I read that you get thatbut what I adore about you is your inclusion of animals. All but forgotten. Humans really make me mad with their I-It attitude. Animals are for us to USE and abuse and get rid of when inconvenient?? I think us arrogant humans are missing out on the intelligence and skills of animals. The unconditional love and learning to see realiy through their eyes. Sigh. GrinsTry loving cats; feral, stray and domesticwildand falling in love with brush bunnies. How to deal with helping both knowing bunnies are tv dinners for any predator. I live in a transition zone between urban and wildernesstough place to live. Follow the money The article has an extensive bibliography: geoengineeringwatch DOT org/geoengineering-is-destroying-the-ozone-layer/ Mark, while the old article could point to several million web sites with a few still valid today, the old article presents opinion, not data. It is a fluff piece. Unfortunately your article doesnt agree with the picture (photographed beach is in Italy, Orbetello not even mentioned!) This is what the Bible predicted in the Book Of Revelation and it is happening. 80% deforestation of the Northern Hemisphere within 100 years has caused two major events to happen. The first is that with the increased amount of humans breathing in oxygen and out carbon dioxide, there is a massive adjustment in the ratio of oxygen to carbon dioxide, although this is not noticeable due to the fact that carbon dioxide is heavier than oxygen/nitrogen (air). The ratio of carbon dioxide to oxygen has changed far greater in the ocean than on the land, with the sea water in the deepest parts becoming increasingly unbreatheable for the animals that exist there. They are then forced upwards into the area above themselves, where they continue hunting. The gills and lungs of the sea dwelling animals are unable to adapt to the changing environment rapidly enough and the consequence is disorientation, leading to death. Perfect stormI agree its approaching fast Wow, in 1935, the sky-is-falling government claimed that 32 of the then U.S. states had some soil deficient in selenium. Boy! you sure do know how to overreact. All I did was give you reference to a 1935 article from the USDA that I read years ago stating that soil was getting depleted of some important minerals. You also said we should just add fertilizer. Do you know the difference between fertilizer and trace minerals? Two totally different things. Regarding trillions of tons of specific natural resources of many of the items that you mentioned be specific. How many trillion tons of iron, selenium, copper, aluminum and other minerals do we have? Also oil and water are not measured in tons they are measured in gallons. So do you realize how much a trillion tons is. The earth weighs approximately 5,972,000,000,000,000,000,000 tons and gains more every day from meteor hits. (5,972 sextillion Metric Tons and gaining) Eugenist Elites dont have to get rid of 95% of our worlds population. We are all doing it for them. Scientists are determining that the earth is in a 6th period of mas extinction caused by many different reasons. Remember, there was a time on earth when there were no humans. The dinosaurs and many other species and plants no longer exist except for fossil remains. Mankind has no natural enemies other than themselves. It is nature that is the true Eugenicist. It is much more intelligent than any of us. The earth is a living organism and will destroy whatever it needs to destroy to perpetuate life. A new humanity will then evolve. A humanity that is not controlled by lower emotions will cosist of higher mental races than can solve problems mentally and not based on emotional illusions, and mental fictions. Dennis Hoppe Mother Nature is not trying to destroy us. 17Youth is the age of life ignorance and injudiciousness. Old age is (or should be) the ageof worked-up experience of life.18Life affords us opportunities to develop. And most people do not know how to maketime pass, so empty, vacuous, meaningless are their lives.19Most people are dissatisfied with, disappointed in life. They have not got as theythought, hoped, wanted, desired. What then do they desire from life: wealth, glory, power,amusements, enjoyments? Not knowledge and insight so that they may understand life and thepossibilities of their own lives?20It looks as if they had set their minds on wandering through life with as little reflection aspossible. The fact that mankind has not yet reached the mental stage is best seen in the factthat they find it very nice when they do not need to think.21It is our duty to be happy. Anyone who is not happy has lost sight of the meaning of life.The whole tendency of the present civilization amounts to making people disharmonious,pessimistic, discontented, and this is a clear warning signal that mankind is on the wrong path.All happy people are good and good people are happy.22If you practise the art of living then you simplify your situation and reduce your desires. So get happy and stop being a hater. Dennis Hoppe Dennis Hoppe, is your post meant for this article or did you miss? You keep giving me the same old answers to things I talked about in the past and do not comment on anything that I have sent you today. I am 76 years old and known about the elite probably before you were born. If you hate them so much why dont you form a group and start killing them off. Start with the Rothschilds, Rockefellers, Bushes, Netanyahu, Yellen and many others that you despise so much. The fact is that they have the best security in the world. If you form a assassin group you will be infiltrated. So you have to start taking them out yourself. Lots of luck. Dennis Hoppe Dennis Hoppe, please stop encouraging murder. You are correct. Mother Nature is not trying to destroy us. Mother Nature, or God, or evolution or whatever you want to call it is trying to restore balance. What is the secret resource that mutated to not be usable causing some overpopulation. I dont even know what you are talking about. You have twisted what I may have said so out of proportion that I dont even recognize whatever comment that I said. I also never said that I want someone with authority to control other peoples reproduction or kill them at best. I am definitely against that. You are the one that are accusing me of that. And I resent it. Then you bring up about something about what I said about a billion years from now. That is a fact, it has nothing to do with my wanting billions of people to die before the earth is uninhabitable. About the USDA booklet from 1935 with finding a secret resource being depleted and that I failed miserably. What did I fail at. I wasnt trying to accomplish anything I was just trying to give some information that I read. It also talked about the dust bowl in Oklahoma and improper farming methods leading to farmland destruction. Have you ever read the booklet. The facts are that we need to be very careful with our use of natural resources which are finite and the increasing population of the world which is potentially infinite. (these are facts, not speculation) We have to be stewards of the earth not conquerors.. So stop trying to change my words into something that I never implied. I am really on your side but you just dont see it. Peace to you. Dennis Hoppe, you want me to read a 1935 booklet about planting trees and the need for soil nutrients to grow crops to excuse your speculated secret finite resources by the trillions of tons and your speculated potentially infinite population. Thank you for this article, however I must point out that one of your first paragraphs is misleadingAs Fleitas writes, recent months have not been kind to the Chilean coast, which has played host to washed-up carcasses of over 300 whales, 8,000 tons of sardines, and nearly 12 percent of the countrys annual salmon catch, to name a few. Since Chili does not have a wild salmon population, theres no annual salmon catch The salmon carcasses that washed ashore were farmed salmon and now theres an investigation because the farms are supposed to dispose of their dead fish on land, but instead millions were just dumped into the ocean. Now people are saying this illegal dump has added a massive amount of fuel to their already out of control algae blooms.their salmon farms are now also being investigated as a potential source for the algae blooms starting in the first placethese farms need to move onto land or things will only keep getting worsehttps://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/may/17/chile-red-tide-salmon-farming-neurotoxin Two weeks ago I was in the south of Crete (Greece )swimming in the Lybian sea, part of the Mediterranean sea, and I was surprised by how many dead fishes were both on the sea and on the beach. I asked around to the inhabitants without obtain any suitable answer Im Italian I m used to the Mediterranean sea but Ive never seen something like that.. hi
