Barnorama All Fun In The Barn
It’s no secret that we are exploiting our planet and running out of resources at the speed of light, but many people refuse to take notice. These unbelievable photos of environmental damage, collected into a book by environmental awareness platform Global Population Speak Out, show the harsh realities of the ecological and social tragedies that Earth is suffering. Its title: “Overdevelopment, Overpopulation, Overshoot.”

It’s funny when images of human progress are misrepresented as destructive or tragic. If not for the harnessing of resources as depicted here, our modern life of comfort and plenty would not be possible.
The Maldive Islands are NOT “sinking” due to so-called global warming. They are sinking due to subsidence, which occurs when you pump out ground water. Also, for the record, islands have come and gone since the beginning of the world. In fact, the land masses themselves are moving, buckling, eroding and being reformed by rocks being forced up from below the Earth’s crust.
Seriously, people need to study some geology before they make ignorant, unfounded predictions.
