World population has reached 7 billion of the Earth War: Zai Budong misery

United Nations agencies estimated that by 2100, world population will reach Acer Aspire 3000 battery 10 billion, slightly higher than expected if the birth rate, the world's population will likely exceed 150 million. Earth is home, as the population increases, over-exploitation and land use, environmental scientists to set the earth in defense of the nine security, biodiversity loss, nitrogen and phosphorus pollution and water depletion, etc. The bottom line is on the verge of several Earth fall ... ...

Challenges of the future of humanity eco shortage of credit

WWF released the "Living Planet Report 2008", warned of Earth's natural resources, demand has exceeded the Earth's biological productivity of nearly 1 / 3, the world is moving toward ecological shortage of credit in the future. WWF Director General wrote in the preface: "ecological credit shortage is global challenges of global 3 / 4 of people living in the ecological debtor countries (the country's consumption exceeds the biological capacity of their ) so most people are off-site through the use of overdraft or increasing the ecological capital, to maintain the current way of life and economic growth. "

Beyond the biological productivity of the ecological footprint

"Living Planet Report 2008" that the ecological footprint (Eco-logical Footprint) is the human resources of the biosphere to absorb waste and biologically productive land and sea area to measure, biological productivity (biocapacity) is the Earth's productive area to measure. A country's ecological footprint is used to produce food, fiber, wood and other goods needed to farmland, grazing land, forest and fisheries of the area, coupled with the use of energy absorption and emission of waste to HP Pavilion dv4 battery provide the infrastructure of the area combined. In 2005 the global ecological footprint is 17.5 billion global hectares, 2.7 global hectares per capita (global hectares refers to equal the global average biological productivity of a hectare), the world's biological productivity of 13.6 billion global hectares, 2.1 global hectares per person; ecological footprint than biological productivity of nearly 30%. In the past 45 years, the demand of Earth's biosphere has more than doubled. The use of fossil fuel emissions of carbon dioxide and development of land is a major part of the human ecological footprint, carbon footprint than the 2005 Human growth in 1961, more than 10 times. If current patterns continue, to the early 2030s, we need two planets supply of goods and services.

British "The Times" web site October 13, 2010 entitled "Earth to stop looting it, otherwise 20 years after the human needs of two planets," the article quoted a study that plunder Earth's resources, human resources, the speed is replacement rate of 1.5 times, while the extravagant lifestyle of the western equatorial region of the damage is most severe. According to the London Zoological Society and the World Wildlife Fund announced last year, "Living Planet Report" forecasts, if humans continue to develop the current rate of land and sea, then to 2030, in order to produce enough food, raw materials and water and to absorb the carbon dioxide produced by human activity, human need two planets to survive. The report estimated that the human needs for natural resources has doubled since 1966. The report notes that Britain's per capita ecological footprint in the world ranked No. 31, the average British take five hectares of land, higher than the global average hectares. If the global population and demand on the Earth, like the British, then the human need 2.75 planet to survive.

Earth can support three United States do

"Times," the article pointed out that the per capita resource consumption in rich countries is five times that of developing countries, the consumption of Western consumers is the world's poor rely on local resources. Diet is to determine a country's ecological footprint is one of the most important factor. U.S. per capita consumption of 113 kg meat per year, China and India's per capita annual consumption of meat were 45 kg and less than 4.5 kg. Zoological Society of London and the World Wildlife Fund report released estimates that by 2050, if the world's 9.2 billion people will eat a typical Malaysian diet, humans only need Dell Latitude D610 Battery 1.3 Earth; if the global population eat Italian food, you may need to close the human two planets to survive.

United States, "New York Times," June 6, 2011 published in the Pan-Asian Institute for the Future think tank founder and CEO of Global Chengzi Jun entitled "The Earth can support more of the U.S.? "The article, if outside the United States, two more large scale and it is the same as the giant economy, the pressure on the earth will become impossible to imagine. To this end, Asian consumption should be moderate, the resource management as the center of all policy decisions. Why did the author emphasized that "Asia should be moderate consumption" and "resource management as the center of all policy decisions" mean? Asian population accounts for 60% of the world's population, the world's economic center of gravity are returning to Asia, especially China, India, rapid economic growth on the world economy, resource consumption and environmental impact of growing. World Bank and International Monetary Fund forecast, according to the current trend, global economic output in 2005 to 2050 will grow six to seven times, Asian GDP from the current $ 30 trillion to 230 trillion U.S. dollars. People generally believe that the size of the Chinese economy will overtake the U.S. in 20 years, as the world's largest economy by 2050, India will also be economies of scale and economies of scale as large as the United States. Of energy, for example, if China and India's per capita energy consumption as much volume and the United States, their power consumption is 14 times the United States. Even if the Asians will be limited to their relatively low energy consumption level in Europe, their power consumption will continue to be the current U.S. level of eight to nine times.

Chengzai Jun's "Earth can support three U.S.?", Except the United States is China and India. In 2008, the U.S. population 304 million, China and India 1,326 million 1.14 billion, 2.87 billion population of the three countries, accounting for 6.692 billion of the world's population, 42.9%. The automobile industry, for example, the automotive industry began in 1886, and 2006 car ownership in the world reached 920 million, the car is running only consume a large amount of energy and emissions of carbon dioxide. In 1950, the average U.S. household has a car, in 2006, the United States has 244 million vehicles, the U.S. population of the world population of less than 5%, while car ownership accounted for 26.5% of the world. By 2009, China has 11 cars per thousand, equivalent to the U.S. level in 1911. Brown, American editor of the Worldwatch Institute's State of the World 1998 report said: "If China continues along the path of the automobile-centered forward, and to Western industrialized countries and Japan as a model, if each of possession of the car and gasoline consumption to reach U.S. levels, China's daily oil consumption of 6400 million barrels per day from 1996 to Sony VGP-BPS5 Battery 8000 million barrels. "British" Guardian "website March 24, 2009 quoted Australian experts predict a car: if India The rate of car ownership levels in Western countries, in 40 years the world has 30 million cars. Carbon dioxide produced by cars running the global carbon dioxide emissions accounted for 20% of the fuel needed to run more and more cars come from? They would cause to the environment and what impact?

Overdraft use to speed up the earth 'bleeding'

Mineral resources, development of human society is an important material foundation, the Western countries since the 18th century industrialization, countries already consume large amounts of mineral resources. According to statistics, only 100 years of the 20th century, the world has consumed 142 billion tons of oil, 78 trillion cubic meters of natural gas, 2650 million tons of coal, 38 billion tons of iron (steel), 760 million tons of aluminum and 480 million tons of copper and a number of other mineral resources. Exxon Mobil CEO Dule Sen is expected in 2005, global energy demand will continue for various average annual rate of 1.7% increase in 2030 from the current daily demand of about 2.2 billion barrels of oil equivalent increased to about 3.35 million barrels of oil equivalent, oil production in Saudi Arabia is about 10 times. Including oil and gas is still the world's major sources of energy supply, accounting for 60% of energy supply. Hong Kong, "Asia Times" online May 17, 2005 issued U.S. Hampshire professor of peace and world security carat Michael Ray entitled "inspire a new war," the article said: "The untapped oil and natural gas competition of search has never been so intense, in order to gain important energy resources to foreign competition in the control of the funds invested and diplomatic and military power has never been so much before. "The article points out" As government officials in many countries They are required no matter what the cost to meet their country's energy needs increasing pressure in the coming years, competition for energy will only become more intense struggle. "

Over-exploitation and consumption of mineral resources, particularly oil and gas resources consumed a lot of serious damage to the environment and lead to a large number of species extinction. British LG R405 battery extensive website August 23, 2011 citing the latest global species scientists concluded that the natural world there are about 8.7 million species. Species to save the planet, "Convention on Biological Diversity," the Tenth Conference of the Parties 18 October 2010 in Nagoya, Japan opened the meeting Scientists pointed out that an average of one hour on the planet now have a species to extinction. This speed is self-extinction of the dinosaurs 65 million years ago has been the fastest. UNEP Executive Director Steiner said at the opening ceremony, the world "can no longer afford" to die a natural biological, "we are destroying life on Earth." Under the United Nations Environment Programme World Conservation Union report released in 2010, since 1970, the world's wildlife has been reduced by 31%, 38% reduction of live coral, all kinds of red seaweed species of plants and by 19%, the world's 3 / 4 fishing grounds have been depleted. "USA Today" in October 2010 said the world's 6.8 billion population in 2007, has consumed more than 50% of Earth's ecological resources. British "Nature" magazine is expected after 50 years more than one million land animals disappeared from the earth, because the impact of human activities, than the natural extinction rate of species extinction rates, "a thousand times faster."

April 22, 2011 is the 42nd World Earth Day, the theme of "cherish the earth's resources, change the mode of development." Last less than 20% of the world population of the developed countries consume 80% of global resources, large population of developing countries must take a new road of industrialization and effective solution to the food problem. Pan-Asian Institute for the Future think tank founder Chengzi Jun made the world, different from the last industrial revolution, Asia must open a new industrial revolution. "For Asia, the resource management decision-making centers placed all the prospects and policies is not easy, especially in the past few decades have been told and prosperity can only come from the traditional consumer-driven economic growth model of society, however, if The region's governments to face this challenge, the decision whether to have the future of our world will be in Beijing, Delhi and Jakarta's decision-makers, rather than the capital of Europe and the United States. "Agence France-Presse May IBM ThinkPad R50 battery 18, 2011 introduced 20 Nobel Prize winners that day to the United Nations Special Committee submitted a "Memorandum of Stockholm", called for world leaders to take urgent action to save the planet, to ensure global sustainability. "Memorandum" that in this era, the Earth's most important changes happened not by the natural phenomenon, but caused by human behavior, recommended a series of urgent and far-reaching action, policy makers and various organizations for future generations to become active management of the Earth, we must "encourage a new agricultural revolution, in the current agricultural land in a sustainable way to produce more food."

ENLARGING MY CARBON FOOT PRINT


I was reading an article that struck my eye from the website http://www.americanthinker.com/ who do alot of insulting of Democrats and Progressives and Obama bashing, liberal bashing and environmentalist bashing to say it mildly, I would say they were spreading the Hate. In the article below and with the very one sided comments together reveal very damaged minds. Yes there are extremists in every movement, religion and politics but IF we were smart we should all know that. What bothered me most is the lack of any sense whatsoever about how the environment is polluted and with the awareness from promotions like Earth day people began to wake up to what each of us was doing to the problem of pollution and the terrible way we were misusing and abusing the gift of Earth and life on this planet. Now people are working on the problem, educating themselves and building homes ,auto's, businesses more energy efficient and somehow this is wrong? I just watched a local news report about one of our major hospitals here in the area,who are saving money big time by going as green as possible, and somehow this is wrong? I am surprised by the people on the Right and how skeptical they are about environmental issues and that somehow this is a plot to take over the Government and make everyone a communist. Wow there are alot of whack jobs out there.

I remember as a small child growing up in LA over 40 years ago and how bad the pollution was then and how much improved it is now and there is a problem with this? Yes we can go to extremes but most of us are in the Middle and believe that the approach to take is to always be moderate in all our consumptions and vices. People get a grip on reality, I personally am grateful that going green as they say is reported on more so now a days. We may not be the sole contributors to Climate Change, but we are assisting the process and we need to remember that we have to do our part in being environmentally savvy so that our children and grandchildren aren't left holding the bag. Many Christians have the false notion that earth is not their home , that they are just passing through, if so, please pick up your trash as you go , the rest of us believe that Earth is where we belong, that it is our home and we like to keep it better than it was left to us from our parents and theirs. If you would read your bibles you would know that the Earth is your final home as well, you are not going anywheres my friend. So be a good citizen of planet Earth and do your own part in keeping it clean. God gave earth to us , not to pollute but to keep it and protect it and according to the Bible God will destroy those who destroy the earth!

Rev:11:18 And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.

And yes this can mean alot of things, but it is all about the last days that in many ways ,wars and the industrial age are destroying the earth at an alarming rate, which at the time this prophecy was written they would never have dreamed it was possible!

So Thank you very much, stop being a ignoramus and being proud of being wasteful and trashy and do the right thing by doing your part to keep Mother Nature as it was intended ,free of our waste.

for what it is worth

blessed be

Why I Am Enlarging My Carbon Footprint.

By Robin of Berkeley
As a psychotherapist, I try my best to calm down my anxious clients. But in this case, I inadvertently triggered a panic attack.My twenty-something client Emma, a survivor of the Berkeley public schools, had a coughing fit during our session. I helpfully got up to get her some water. When I handed her a cup, she looked at it, incredulous.Her voice quivering, she asked, "Is this Styrofoam?"I said yes. She stared at the cup, mesmerized by this forbidden fruit. When she finally found her words, she said, "I've never seen Styrofoam before. We learned in school that it kills baby...

Green Your Gardening


This Earth Day, April 22, even while you’re gardening in your very own backyard, you can make a big difference in the health of the ocean. Fertilizers and other chemicals used in conventional gardening are washed into watersheds and eventually to sea, where they can harm coral reefs and other marine life.

Hear from Conservancy marine scientist Stephanie Wear about the impact of fertilizers and pesticides have on our oceans and about steps you can take to reduce the chemicals in your garden.

Learn about square foot gardening — a method of organic gardening that can be done anywhere. It’s a great way to get your family involved in growing your own food — without chemicals!

The Nature Conservancy of Michigan’s director of science Patrick Doran shares step-by-step instructions on how to make your own compost.
