The Movie On Deadly Ground

On Deadly Ground is an old Hollywood movie, but Environmental Extremist never gets tired of seeing it. The crowning glory of the film is the speech Segal delivers at the end. Gas companies are against the manufacture of vehicles running on alternate fuels. Development of such vehicles are nipped in the bud or carried on with a halfhearted effort. And one mustn’t forget the fact that gas companies are the prime cause although indirectly of carbon emissions. Also oil spills caused by giant tankers spell danger for our fragile environment. One European company even advertises itself as the pioneer of alternate energy. Satan in God’s garb?!
As mentioned before in this blog, the world economic recession is a blessing in disguise. Production of crude oil is at an all time low. One can hear Mother Earth heaving a sigh of relief. And the chances are that the present trend will continue for a long time to come, thanks to the greed and cupidity of the stinking rich. Their greed has brought down the very system that they helped to build. As their unholy profits dwindle, so does atmospheric pollution vomited out by automobiles and the likes. Isn’t this reason enough to celebrate?

Effect of Economic Recession on Environment

One should not feel happy when folk are made to suffer for actions of not their making. Environmental Extremist apologizes to all and sundry for doing so.
The whole world is going thru an economical recession. Many are losing jobs, businesses fail, incomes are slashed, and standard of living is going down. How can one feel happy under the circumstances?
But to all nature lovers this is a blessing in disguise. The recession has reduced consumption of fossil fuels to a considerable extent. So less carbon is emitted into the atmosphere. This will result in a decrease of global warming.
THIS INDEED IS A THING TO BE JOYOUS ABOUT.
Some futurologists predict that the way mankind is going on now, the Earth will cease to be inhabitable and sooner than later, we will have to return to an agricultural economy.
In hindsight, Industrial Evolution was not a good thing after all.
