Dear Sevara ~ Your words painted with such eloquence and very powerful truths and imagery – At the same time reveal the tremendous wound and ripple effect the gulf oil spill has and will have for countless years and decades to come ~ No other animal on earth can create such devastation as man/woman-kind ~ […]

As the oil continues to spread and devastate the myriad sea creatures and their habitat, an uncertain phenomena will occur. The natural balance which has existed relatively unchanged for thousands of years is now suddenly being threatened.
As the oil drifts and spreads on the surface of the sea over millions of square kilometers, the process of photosynthesis will be affected on all that exists below the ocean’s surface. As a result only a certain spectrum of light will filter through the “lens” of the oil. This means that more resilient vegetation will survive and thrive while other forms will succumb and possibly die out.
The same process will occur with the fish and other sea life, as not only will they be affected by the oil itself, but also from the changes in the amount and quality of sunlight they receive. As humans we understand that we require sunlight to absorb vitamin D. Life in the ocean functions the same way.
The creatures that are resilient will survive while others may face extinction. We may not see the direct affects of this for many years, but certainly we are in for big and uncertain changes
The shadow cast by the dense oil sitting on the waters’ surface is certain to change the ocean temperature. What will it mean if the ocean temperature changes? Will have a residual affect on the upper atmosphere? Will there be more rain, less rain, more clouds, less clouds, etc? We rely on the fragile balance of nature to remain in an acceptable range for human life to exist. As each of the Earth’s diverse ecosystems are linked to each other, destruction to one aspect inevitably leads to the destruction of another.

Mr. Redford is correct: we all have to stop being apathetic to these disasters. The corporations and politicians count on you to be lazy. In fact, they’ve design a whole society to brainwash you to be lazy and disinterested. They’ve given you sports games to cheer over, beer to drink, reality TV to watch, and […]

Michael Bolen – Yahoo! Canada News A species of jellyfish has evolved the potential for immortality – and they’re starting to spread. The species turritopsis nutricula is able to transform itself from its mature state back into a polyp (immature jellyfish) and then back again – picture a gelatinous ‘Benjamin Button’ on repeat. The species, which […] -

This video from Conan O’Brien’s show definitely puts things into perspective (not sure who the funny guy is). Not to mention makes you laugh and think at the same time.
