Re: “Dry, Drought, Devastated” Pankratz/ 9/17 Denver  Post

When you realize humans kill 100 million sharks in the planet’s oceans annually, you scratch your head in dismay, or, at least, consternation.  Unknown to most humans, thousands of species suffer extinction at the hands of humanity annually.  (Source: Life, August , 1991, “Sharks: Predator becomes prey” Fussman)

When you read startling headlines in the Denver Post announcing devastating drought, you scratch your mind further as to why humans steam forward as if they cannot  be touched by nature’s vengeance. What do we possess in  our  arrogance as to denial of our own vulnerability in the scheme of life?

At a Gamow  lecture at Colorado University, Boulder, Colorado, I listened  to a lecture by Oxford University professor Dr. Norman Meyers. He explained his personal research in the Amazon and other rain forests  around the world  that humans cause  the extinction  of 50 to 100 species  every day of  the year. I didn’t think much of it until, I too, visited the Amazon. 

Humans burn 1.5 acres every second in the Amazon and worldwide to make way for crops in the shallow soils of the rain forests.  What forms the foundation of the Amazon rain forests?  Answer: sand dunes!  Note that the Amazon rain forests took millennia to cover those dunes with minimum topsoil.  Once exhausted, farmlands become wastelands. 

As I explored the Amazon, I watched roads being built into its interior all the way to Manous on the Amazon River.  I saw firsthand the fires and the relentless cutting of huge trees. Animals and plants lose their homes at a rate of a landmass the size of Colorado every year.  No wonder Myers reported 100 species suffer extinction daily!

Back in the United States, famed Harvard biologist E.O. Wilson states, “We cannot save the planet if we don’t understand it.”

I might add that we cannot save our planet home if we fail to stabilize human population growth.  But never mind, because in the end, Mother Nature WILL stabilize human population growth, rather brutally.

In an excellent report, Mark Matousek, “Rescuing Earth” said, “The man widely considered to be Charles Darwin’s heir wants to build an ark, a virtual one at that.”  

While Wilson’s quest promotes noble intentions, first of all, humans rampage across the planet with devastating results to our ecological systems, but in the end, we cannot ‘save it’.  A harsh reality faces humanity:  this planet can and will erase humans without shedding a tear or issuing a burp!

As someone who witnessed massive kill-off of species in the Amazon, I direct your attention to a movie starring Sean Connery: “Medicine Man”.

As a scientist, Wilson suffers the slings and arrows of the Committee Against Racism and religious groups, but his scientific integrity remains unquestioned.

This three minute interview with Adam Schrager on “Your Show” May 4, 2008, NBC Channel 9 News, addresses the ramifications of adding 120 million people to USA in 35 years and six million people to Colorado as to water shortages, air pollution, loss of farmland, energy costs and degradation of quality of life.  In the interview, Frosty Wooldridge explains the ramifications of adding 120 million people to the USA in 35 years. He advances new concepts such as a “Colorado Carrying Capacity Policy”; “Colorado Environmental Impact Policy”; “Colorado Water Usage Policy”; “Colorado Sustainable Population Policy”.  Nationally, the USA needs a "National Sustainable Population Policy" to determine the carrying capacity of this nation for the short and long term.  Wooldridge is available for interviews on radio and TV having interviewed on ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN and FOX.
