Dominion over the Earth

Posted on Tuesday 20 July 2010

I should have added this to my “We are all going to Hell” series because it is about the way we live and the things we do that show us unworthy of the wealth of Earth that we have been given.

From Foreign Policy:

  1. Niger river delta in Nigeria, oil spills equivalent to one Exxon Valdez a year.
  2. Underground coal fires burning since the 1960s.  One in China that consumes 20 million tons a year, about the amount that Germany produces.
  3. Deforestation in Haiti.
  4. The Aral Sea, once the fourth largest inland body of water, is gone.
  5. The  Pacific Ocean garbage patch, 150% the size of the US and 100 feet thick.

Read the whole thing.
