When Global Western and Eastern Problems Collide: Over-Population v. Over-Pollution

We live on the precipice of an inevitable and eventual global situation. A perfect storm continues brewing on the horizon as civilization may be witnessing the start of our world being utterly dismantled. This will not occur from a meteor from outer space, nor a thermo-nuclear situation, or even economic collapse. It will occur from our hand because of our own indifferences towards a total environmental meltdown of the biosphere . The part of inhabitants of the planet are deluded by our own petty cultural differences and others by our marvels and unlimited giant leaps in science and technology. We are harboring a sense of planetary denial and possess a narcissism out of control which harbors the "ignorance is bliss" belief. This past week In November, witnessed another international environmental congress known as the COP19 in Warsaw, Poland, where over 130 countries sit down to try and figure out what is causing the highest emissions of pollutants to the planet and how to standardize and control "normal" levels of emissions from nuclear power plants, coal fracking , mining, oil drilling, sewage and waste, sanitary land fills, carbon based sources and even that from human consumption. Many of the western and developed nations have trouble understanding the implications of what this effect has on our ozone layer, the survivability of numerous species and our own demise. If they did , we would have supported the Kyoto Protocols years ago. Kyoto is a city in Japan , the nation that has suffered one of the worst continuous nuclear waste spillages in history(how ironic is that). It occurred in 2010 and yet still to this date emits 400 tons of nuclear material into the Pacific Ocean. The western nations at these environmental summits have been criticized as being merely shills for international corporations. These critics decry these meetings act as mere economic conferences to fill the coffers of economic and financial institutions in a way not so much to eliminate emissions, but rather create tools and measurements to allow it to be traded , bought on international markets or taxed in some way. In other words it is an economic summit with its focus on how to further its own monetary endeavors at the expense of humankind and everything else on the planet. Therefore if pollution can be monetized to serve some higher economic and commercial good. The misinformation and ignorance continues to go unchallenged for example when westerners hear that climate scientist have said that even a global elevation of one degree Celsius can tip the scales of the world into an abysmal decline, most interpret that rise in temperature as virtually nothing. Because are thinking "locally" about their home temperature. But, in fact, this rise must be taken into account that air or especially water temperature is measured by each cubic meter(cubic foot) and if the world has a circumference of 20,000 miles and we multiply one degree rise to each cubic foot by each mile , we are look at an exponential factor that could spell disaster. This is heat contained in the medium of the biosphere over time. This is the "super-hearting" culminating effect. Pollution such as green house gases further insulates the planet by "blanketing" it in a cloak of soot and further destroys the protective layer of the ozone further creating warming. Many in the west however are content to be "programmed" by the same multi-global corporations who own the media and commercialize and monetize their industrial projects with television sports and entertainment. So you how an oil company that has spilled tons of oil has destroyed beaches, jobs, animals and land. "That's ok", all they have to do is have a cute T.V. commercial and it will be alright. This type of programming dominates the culture of the populous that is misled by the apparent comfort it provides in a world of global economic demise. The health consequences for these environmental disasters are legend and will continue to rise. The health implications from environmental diseases such as lung, heart disease and cancer will rise for a profit in the market and will support the "cycle" of programming. Not to mention climactic effects from melting ice caps, super heated oceans, ground shifts in tectonic plates and super cells in the atmosphere causing phenomenal storms, all which is incompatible with many life forms. ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE GLOBE: We have a situation where billions of people are now super-packed into poor living conditions in urban areas. The United Nations has always been aware of a "population bomb". The worlds population hit 7 Billion last year and this is a doubling in the global population in a short few decades. More people are alive now than all the millennia previously in history. The population will now, not just have a tendency to double again it will rise exponentially. In Africa and Asia wars , droughts, poor irrigation, archaic nomadic living styles all have proven non-sustainable for its inhabitants, therefore the rush is on to larger metropolitan areas. This causes more a mal-distribution of population and over-crowding as well as "overpopulation". Without agrarian solutions with clean water, healthy cattle, solutions to war, education for irrigation, hydraulics and non-genetically modified seeds many of these societies will continue to over-crowd cities. This is not only a problem for Africa and Asia, many family owned farms can not continue to run the land and are taking subsidies because they can not compete. The "overpopulation" situation is marred by numerous other factors it appears. A side-effect of overcrowding is not enough comfortable living space, over competition for jobs markets, less time to seek higher education, artificially higher prices for food and clothing, disease, unclean water supplies and epidemics.As local farmers leave the land unattended large corporate farmers and wealthy land owners, tribal warlords, as well as foreign interests seize these resources . The local inhabitants can not compete in their own markets. There is a tendency for crime to develop as well as civil war under these conditions. The world will have to come up with a highly technologically advanced solution for everyone to agree as what is sustainable for this planet and its inhabitants because continuing to buy and trade our pollution is not really getting is closer to a sustainable life on the planet. I would hate that the globalist are not thinking of the rash, extreme "quick" solution to "reduce" these crisis. If that is so, we are further into a demise than we may think.
