U.N. Study: Earth's Health Deteriorating |
U.N. Study: Earth's Health Deteriorating
By Catherin McAloon
Associated Press Writer
Thursday, March 31, 2005
Growing populations and expanding economic activity have strained the
planet's ecosystems over the past half century, a trend that threatens
international efforts to combat poverty and disease, a U.N.-sponsored study
of the Earth's health warned on Wednesday.
The four-year, $24 million Millennium Ecosystem Assessment found humans have
caused heavy damage or depleted portions of the world's farmlands, forests
and watercourses.
Unless nations adopt more eco-friendly policies, increased human demands for
food, clean water and fuels could speed the disappearance of forests, fish
and fresh water reserves and lead to more frequent disease outbreaks over
the next 50 years, it warned.
"This report is essentially an audit of nature's economy and the audit shows
that we have driven most of the accounts into the red," Jonathan Lash, a
member of the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment board, said in London.
The report said degradation of ecosystems was a barrier to achieving
development goals adopted at the U.N. Millennium Summit in Johannesburg,
South Africa in September 2000: halving the proportion of people without
access to clean water and basic sanitation by 2015 and improving the lives
of 100 million slum dwellers by 2020.
Walter Reid, director of the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment, said over the
past 50 years humans had changed ecosystems more rapidly and extensively
than any comparable period in human history.
"These changes have resulted in a substantial and largely irreversible loss
to the biological diversity of the planet," Reid said.
U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan said the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment
"tells us how we can change course," and urged nations to consider its
recommendations.
The study was compiled by 1,360 scientists from 95 nations who pored over
16,000 satellite photos from the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space
Administration, and analyzed statistics and scientific journals.
Their findings highlight the planet's problems at the end of the 20th
century, as the human population reached 6 billion.
Conservation groups called on governments, businesses and individuals to
heed the study's warnings.

The question of prewar intelligence has been thrust back into the public eye
with the disclosure of a secret British memo showing that, eight months
before the March 2003 start of the war, a senior British intelligence
official reported to Prime Minister Tony Blair that U.S. intelligence was
being shaped to support a policy of invading Iraq.
Moreover, a close reading of the recent 600-page report by the president's
commission on intelligence, and the previous report by the Senate panel,
shows that as war approached, many U.S. intelligence analysts were
internally questioning almost every major piece of prewar intelligence about
Hussein's alleged weapons programs.

"Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the
country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag
the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a
parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can
always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have
to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for
lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger."

The basic welfare of humanity is provided by hard work, and not being

Hard work is necessary but so is the fair dispersement of profit which the

The rightwing's social and economic theories are selfish, shortsighted and
destructive if nothing else.

News flash.
Letting someone keep more of their OWN money is not redistribution.
Just another way for the non productive to achieve successful parasite

As I said letting people keep what is theirs is not redistribution.
And failure to get something for nothing drives you liberal socialists nutz.

Another empty headed fascist troll gives us his opinion.
Opinions are like you, everybody has one.
Gee, JimEeeeeeeee, I'm hurt. But that doesn't change the fact that
you're still an empty headed fascist.
And you're still a frustrated, rejected socialist.
So what.
My ideas and theories are relevant to the basic welfare of humanity
and creation, yours are damaging and wrong-headed, that is so what.
The basic welfare of humanity is provided by hard work, and not being
aggressively stupid.
Those who fail in either of the above categories will starve.
Evolution in action, I love it.
Hard work is necessary but so is the fair dispersement of profit which
the rightwing fails to do. I.e., healthcare, education, infrastructure,
over compensation of CEOs, the gutting of retirement and benefit
packgages, etc. The rightwing's social and economic theories are
selfish, shortsighted and destructive if nothing else.
Penalizing success is not the way to encourage it.
Encouraging corruption is just as destructive and that's what the
rightwing is all about these days.
Redistribution of income ( the product of life energy expended) is
nothing more than larceny.
That would make Bush even more guilty, he has redistributed money away
from the middle-class towards the ultra-wealthy thereby denying society
of healthcare, education, environmental protection, etc.
News flash.
Letting someone keep more of their OWN money is not redistribution.
Just another way for the non productive to achieve successful parasite
status.
That position has been taken by the ultra-wealthy and high level
republican politicians.
As I said letting people keep what is theirs is not redistribution.
And failure to get something for nothing drives you liberal socialists
nutz.
It is low intelligence sycophants at your level who provide corporations and
the wealthy the smoke screen to hide behind as they hoard more money while
denying fair wages, healthcare, environmental protection, consumer
protection etc to American citizens. Rightwing economic theory is shysterism
backed by corrupt politicians who are financed by corporations and the
wealthy.
You once again clearly exhibit fascist trait #3.

The Rich Get Fabulously Richer
[ ]
Four out of five Americans were making less or were no better off in 2000
than in 1970.
Those at the ninetieth rung saw their incomes rise at an annual average of
less than $600 per year, compared to to about $4600 annually at the
ninety-nineth rung and more than $672,000 annually for the top group, those
13,400 super-rich families.
Money, it seems, was made to flow uphill. The great majority of Americans
were, at least through 2000, having their pockets flattened or even
drained,,,..

So you now admit that the tax breaks were not redistribution of wealth to
the rich, but just letting them keep what was theirs to begin with.
A good start.
Now if you can just work on this greed problem, and quit coveting the
achievements of others, you may approach fiscal sanity.
Socialism needn't be terminal.

The unfolding impact of China's shift to capitalistic consumerism is going
to push the earth's resources to extinction that much more rapidly. Instead
of focusing on basic necessities for humanity, capitalistic theory tells us
that by making the ultra rich even richer we might get a bite of the pie
even if it is killing the environment. In reality wages, healthcare and
infrastructure in the U.S. have been in steady decline for at least two
decades.
A purely capitalistic economy is only slightly more desirable than a
communist when the long range impact is factored in. What is needed is
moderation where elected officials are allowed to serve in the best
interests of their citizenry, NOT that of their corporate and wealthy sugar
daddies. This economic model would put healthcare, education, environmental
protection and commonsense above the interests of the wealthy elite.

and the like? They are fast bankrupting the country. Have you not noticed?

"
In crafting the Bill of Rights, the framers were careful to acknowledge
implicitly and explicitly two key truths:
The first is that government does not grant rights it acknowledges them.
They exist independently of government. They're part of who and what we
are. And, as Jefferson noted in the Declaration of Independence, the
only legitimate function of government is to secure them.
The second is that government is a servant to whom we delegate powers,
not a master who dispenses privileges. The Constitution carefully
enumerates the powers we, the people, delegate to our government and it
specifically denies that government any powers not so delegated. Our
rights lie beyond the pale of that delegation. They are sacrosanct. Any
government which infringes upon them is engaged in an intolerable
usurpation.

A "right" as envisioned by the Founders meant that the government was
not permitted to interfere with your pursuit of them, i.e., your
pursuit of happiness was to be unhindered by government.
The "right" of free speech means that government cannot interfere
with your free speech. The "right" of gun ownership means that the
government cannot infringe your gun ownership. What does "right" to
health care mean? It means that the government cannot stand in the
way of your pursuit of health care, or impede your obtaining health
care. The "right" to an attorney means that the government cannot
prevent you obtaining an attorney to represent you.
Of course, "right" has incorrectly come to mean that someone must
supply you with something. If your "right" to housing means that some
slave must supply you with housing, and your "right" to health care
means that some slave must supply you with health care, and your
"right" to an attorney means that some slave must supply you with an
attorney, does your "right" to free speech mean that some slave must
supply you with a loudspeaker, or TV air time? Does your "right" to own
guns mean that some slave must supply you with guns?

It seems the UN scientists forgot to study China. There 5 years plans for
a worker paradise simply deteriorated into hell and the sacrifice of
millions of people to whims of a tyrant and his court apparachiks.
Enter supply side capitalist economics and - POOFF! - riches trickle down
to billions who have never had it so good - all in the period of of a
mere generation. It should remind us of the this country before the state
saved us from social problems by regulating all of us to be good state
resources.

The unfolding impact of China's shift to capitalistic consumerism is going
to push the earth's resources to extinction that much more rapidly.
Instead of focusing on basic necessities for humanity, capitalistic theory
tells us that by making the ultra rich even richer we might get a bite of
the pie even if it is killing the environment. In reality wages,
healthcare and infrastructure in the U.S. have been in steady decline for
at least two decades.
A purely capitalistic economy is only slightly more desirable than a
communist when the long range impact is factored in. What is needed is
moderation where elected officials are allowed to serve in the best
interests of their citizenry, NOT that of their corporate and wealthy
sugar daddies. This economic model would put healthcare, education,
environmental protection and commonsense above the interests of the
wealthy elite.
You mean as with Social Security, Medicair and Medicaid, HUD projects and
the like? They are fast bankrupting the country. Have you not noticed?
Wrong. Capitalistic materialism and Bush's tax cuts for the corporations,
rich and ultra-rich are bankrupting this country. Social Security is a good
program that needs strong support not the libeling of rightwing shysters
looking to overthrow it.
When I look around I see too many oversized houses and vehicles while
Americans watch their healthcare benefits, their job opportunities, their
educational opportunities, etc erode. Rightwing economic policy is
shysterism that seeks to divide and conquer the citizenry of the U.S. for
the benefit of the corporate elite and ultra-rich.

"Those seeking profits," Jefferson wrote, "were they given total freedom,
would not be the ones to trust to keep government pure and our rights
secure. Indeed, it has always been those seeking wealth who were the source
of corruption in government. No other depositories of power have ever yet
been found, which did not end in converting to their own profit the earnings
of those committed to their charge."

What size house would be permitted in your world?
Lots of people have no place to live and could use the one you inhabit.
Give it to someone who could use it. It would be only fair.
