How are things where you live?
* Climate change means extreme climatic conditions that scientists attribute to human pollution, most especially through the burning of fossil fuels. If you have not experienced the results of climate change, then you perhaps live on the moon....?
Half of Australia is on fire right now. Summer temperatures are set to rise to record levels. We even had to add a higher fire risk rating.
The Northern hemisphere will experience the opposite....but extremes, none the less.
Island nations are already experiencing inundation as polar ice shelves melt at an alarming rate.
Climate change is no accident, as David Attenborough will tell you.
* Pollution of our oceans with plastic waste is chocking waterways and threatening all the marine creatures. Why is there still plastic being produced? They have known about this problem for over 10 years!
The tons of artificial chemicals produced every year are also polluting the oceans and the land, and the drugs and hormones that humans take, make their way from sewage treatment works to the oceans and waterways, affecting the fish we eat.....as well as the sprays used in agriculture which are also contaminating our oceans and ground water supplies and making their way into the food we eat......
Then there is air pollution........All of these things are threatening our prime resources. We cannot continue existing on this planet if this continues. Humans have done this, and no one is in a hurry to stop it or to fix it because greed for profit drives everything.
* The moral climate is such that children today have no security of family anymore. Their parents are not worried about maintaining relationships, but throwing away the family unit to accommodate their own sexual needs and desires.
Teenagers today have the morals of alley cats and STD's are on the rise, even though we don't hear much about them.
The only way to get STD's is through sex with multiple partners. You can have sex with a single partner a hundred times a day and as long as you are both virgins, they will not get an STD. Homosexual sex presents it own medical problems.
The fall of the Roman Empire was not caused by a conquering nation, but by decay from within. Their hedonistic lifestyle destroyed the family unit, and the fabric of society unravelled. Rome fell due to its own decadence. We see all the same elements in today's world. When humans do not learn from the past mistakes of others, they are doomed to repeat them.....and here we are.
* Health problems at this time are out of control. Western health is contending with poor food choices and an epidemic of obesity. Auto-Immune diseases are rampant because of artificial environmental causes. Medical science is useless at diagnosing them or treating them. More artificial chemicals just exacerbate the problem. Death from prescription drugs is higher than from illegal drugs.
The epidemic of mental health problems as well as depressive illness increases, as drug and alcohol addiction continue to affect millions.
*Technology is affecting our young people in ways that are not healthy. It is changing the way they interact and there are warnings about the problems of increasing radiation by the constant use of their devices. It is isolating them and causing anti-social behavior.
Poorer nations still battle with malnutrition and high infant mortality. Both sides of this situation are extreme and entirely preventable. All we need to do is get back to nature and self sufficiency. There are many who are waking up to this, but too late, I fear.
* Political unrest has never been experienced on the scale that is seen at present. The sea of humanity has never been more restless or dissatisfied with their governance. Country after country have taken to the streets to make their discontent heard.
What more do you need to describe the "mess" we call life in this pathetically selfish world?
Did I mention the Bible once?
Nice try. It doesn't work on me...sorry.
