Population and Ecology

Population and Ecology

I can give you seven billion reasons why there are shortly going to be no tigers, whales, gorillas, orang-o-tang or chimps!

I can give you seven billion reasons, rising soon to ten billion, why there will shortly be no people.

I can give you seven billion reasons, and rising steeply, why the forests are being chopped down, the seas overfished, the air full of shit, the resources extracted, the water polluted, the woodland built on, the……………………………………………………

I can give you seven billion reasons, and counting, why there will be one thin layer in the rocks containing the remains of us.

The thing is that a billion is too big a number for the human mind to conceive.

Our planet has only been here five billion years.

Life has only been around three billion years.

We have only been around two hundred thousand years.

Civilisation has only lasted four thousand years and we have already created this mess.

What has caused this is very simple: too many selfish, greedy individuals leading a mad rush to get hold of more. Too many religious fanatics who do not care what happens here as they are busy planning for a fictitious after-life.

The answer is easy: start using our intelligence, harnessing our science and technology and electing leaders who are not megalomaniacs, sociopaths or war-crazed paranoids. We deserve to be led by sane, pleasant, helpful, caring people.

The first thing we have to do is limit our numbers before we leave no room for all the other creatures.

  1. Reblogged this on N.A.M.E. and commented:
    ” Too many religious fanatics who do not care what happens here…. ”

    The focus of ourselves as humans on this planet within this solar system has been made uninformative. The connect to the essence of the land is missing.

    1. I quite agree. We must start using our intelligence and valuing the planet. We are spinning out of control.

  2. *Round of applause*

    I thank you for this article. We understand what you mean, and it is SO sad that our planet has been funneled this way – away from our spiritual essence of the universe, the environment, and ourselves.

    1. Thank you!
      I find it distressing to consider the mess we are making of this world!

    1. It is incredibly distressing isn’t it? What is worse is that so few people seem to care!
      But we care and we have to get the others to as well.
      If there is enough of us we can make a difference!

  4. Hey! I understand this is sort of off-topic however I had to ask.

    Does operating a well-established website such as yours take a
    massive amount work? I am completely new to
    writing a blog however I do write in my diary daily.
    I’d like to start a blog so I can share my own experience
    and thoughts online. Please let me know if you have any suggestions or tips for
    new aspiring bloggers. Appreciate it!

    1. The short answer is ‘yes it does’. I spend a lot of time writing. But then I enjoy writing greatly and do it for pleasure. As I am retired I have the time to put in. I’ve forty years of material to draw on and I love communicating.
      My blog is what I do when I need to take a break from writing my books.
      Sometimes you need to do something fresh. My blog is an outlet for all those pent-up thoughts, frustrations and ideas.
      Thanks for saying its so well organised. After spending time setting it up it is fairly easy to maintain. You can do as much or as little as you like. I’ve been running a year and have produced nearly 900 posts. I’ve only got 500 followers because I am so scattergun I annoy people. They’ll like one bit and be infuriated by another. But hell – that’s me. I say what I think.
      If you want to do a blog – go for it – express yourself – be creative.
      Try to create a better world
      Hope that helps.

  5. Hmm it looks like your blog ate my first comment (it was extremely long) so I guess
    I’ll just sum it up what I wrote and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog.
    I as well am an aspiring blog writer but I’m still
    new to the whole thing. Do you have any helpful hints for beginner blog
    writers? I’d certainly appreciate it.

    1. Thank you. It’s good to hear from you!
      All I can offer is that you write what you feel as good as you can. If you care and are passionate it will come across! The more you do the better you get (hopefully), and we all do our bit to make everything better.
      Here’s to a positive zeitgeist!
      Best wishes – just do your thing!

    And he actually bought me breakfast simply because I found it
    for him… lol. So let me reword this….
    Thanks for the meal!! But yeah, thanks for spending some time to discuss this topic here on your site.

    pictures on this blog loading? I’m trying to figure out if its a problem on my end or if
    it’s the blog. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    1. Hi. I’ve not had any comments from anybody else concerning pictures not loading. I hope there is not a problem on the blog. I’m sure someone would have said.

  23. I’ve been browsing on-line greater than 3 hours nowadays,
    but I by no means discovered any fascinating article like
    yours. It is pretty price sufficient for me. In my view, if
    all site owners and bloggers made just right content material as you did, the net shall be much more useful
    than ever before.

  25. I would like to thank you for the efforts you’ve put in penning this blog.
    I really hope to view the same high-grade content from you later on as well.
    In truth, your creative writing abilities has motivated me to get my own site now 😉

  26. Howdy! Do you know if they make any plugins to
    protect against hackers? I’m kinda paranoid about losing everything I’ve worked hard
    on. Any tips?

  27. Ahaa, its good conversation concerning this paragraph at this place at this blog, I
    have read all that, so now me also commenting at this place.

  28. Hey There. I discovered your weblog the use of msn. That is an extremely
    well written article. I will be sure to bookmark it and come back to learn more of
    your useful info. Thank you for the post. I’ll certainly return.

  29. I’m gone to inform my little brother, that he should also visit this
    web site on regular basis to take updated from latest information.

  30. I was suggested this website by my cousin. I’m not sure whether this post is written by him
    as no one else know such detailed about my trouble. You are wonderful!
    Thanks!

  31. I like what you guys are up too. Such clever work and coverage!

    Keep up the terrific works guys I’ve incorporated you guys to
    my own blogroll.

  32. Thank you for the auspicious writeup. It in fact was a amusement account it.
    Look advanced to more added agreeable from you! By the way,
    how can we communicate?

  34. 2 For instance, if you close your Twitter app this way,
    the app will cease to run and any tweets that you have
    been in the middle of typing will go away.

  35. Hi there, the whole thing is going nicely here
    and ofcourse every one is sharing information, that’s truly excellent,
    keep up writing.

  36. Hello! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any trouble with hackers?

    My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing many months of hard work due to no back up.

    Do you have any methods to stop hackers?

    1. So far no. But I’ve got stuff in place that can cause problems for them. I’d hate to lose all my work. Cheers Opher

  37. Everything is very open with a really clear explanation of the issues.
    It was truly informative. Your site is very helpful.
    Thanks for sharing!

  38. First of all I want to say great blog! I had a quick question which I’d like to ask if you don’t mind.
    I was curious to find out how you center yourself and clear your thoughts prior to writing.
    I have had a hard time clearing my thoughts in getting my ideas out.
    I truly do enjoy writing but it just seems like the first
    10 to 15 minutes are usually lost just trying to figure out how to begin. Any suggestions
    or tips? Cheers!

    1. I don’t clear my thoughts. I usually have an idea that’s burning to get written down. I’m driven to give it air. Writing for me is compelling. I’ve a head full of ideas and not enough time. I suggest that you just let it flow! Focus on what you want to express and let it guide you.

  39. I’m not sure exactly why but this weblog is loading
    extremely slow for me. Is anyone else having this issue or is it a
    issue on my end? I’ll check back later on and see if the problem still exists.

  40. What’s Going down i am new to this, I stumbled upon this I have discovered
    It absolutely helpful and it has helped me out loads.
    I’m hoping to give a contribution & help other users like its
    aided me. Great job.

  41. I think everything said made a bunch of sense. But, think
    about this, what if you wrote a catchier title? I am not saying your information is not good., however what if you added a title that grabbed a
    person’s attention? I mean Population and Ecology | Opher’s World is kinda boring.

    You could peek at Yahoo’s home page and see how they create
    news headlines to get viewers to open the links. You might
    try adding a video or a related picture or two to get people excited about everything’ve got to say.
    In my opinion, it might make your blog a little bit more interesting.

    1. Thank you. I’m very grateful for the insightful comments. I think you have hit the nail on the head. I tend to be more interested in the ideas and the writing than the presentation and marketing. It’s a failure of mine. I’ll try and take on what you’re saying. It’s the bit that doesn’t come naturally to me. Thanks again – all the best Opher

  42. I don’t even know how I finished up right here,
    but I believed this publish was once great.
    I do not know who you might be however definitely you
    are going to a well-known blogger if you aren’t already.
    Cheers!

  43. I have been surfing online more than three hours today, yet
    I never found any interesting article like yours.
    It’s pretty worth enough for me. In my view, if all website owners and
    bloggers made good content as you did, the web will be
    a lot more useful than ever before.

  46. I then emigrated a week soon after my last exam with all
    my possessions, which includes my auto, loaded into a container to be
    reunited six weeks later.

  47. I realize this is an old post — it just popped up — but one paragraph makes it timely given that it’s election time over here!

    The answer is easy: start using our intelligence, harnessing our science and technology and electing leaders who are not megalomaniacs, sociopaths or war-crazed paranoids. We deserve to be led by sane, pleasant, helpful, caring people.

    You know what? I don’t see any of that last group running for office. We’re screwed! And most of us know it. But till we can figure out how to change the political system the ecosystem’s not going to get any better, I’m afraid…

    1. I know. I look over at the bunch standing and it is a question of the lesser of the evils. They all represent the same narrow establishment perpetuation. They run the world for the benefit of a small elite. What happens in America affects everywhere.
      But in England we’ve had the Jeremy Corbyn phenomenon. At last I have someone I can put my faith n. He says a lot of what I think. He’s real. Of course the media and establishment will rip him to bits. But at least it is a glimmer of hope!
      Good to hear from you again!

      1. My friend Anna from Clacton-on-Sea is thrilled to death about Jeremy Corbyn, too. I believe she said she has rejoined the Labour party? Lord knows where THIS country will end up after the election next year. It’s abusive to US citizens is what it is! I’m not Catholic, but I’d sooner have Pope Francis for president than this lot! At least he respects the earth! Good to be back. I’ve missed reading your posts. 😀

      2. I’m busy writing a new book so my posts will be far and few. Let’s hope Corbyn doesn’t let us down. I’ve joined up too!

      3. Well congrats on beginning a new book! May it be blessed with words of wisdom! And I’ll have to send Anna over to look at your blog. She’s QUITE political minded! 🙂

      4. Life is politics. Your friend sounds interesting! I don’t know about wisdom. It’s a novel about the history of blues and rock. It’s taking a lot of my mind.

  48. Hello everyone, it’s my first visit at this web page,
    and article is actually fruitful designed for me, keep up posting such content.

  49. I’m amazed, I have to admit. Rarely do I encounter a blog that’s both
    educative and engaging, and without a doubt, you
    have hit the nail on the head. The issue is something that too few people
    are speaking intelligently about. I am very happy I
    found this in my hunt for something relating to this.
