Extreme radiation ~ THEY WILL RULE THE WORLD !

 

Thanks for visiting ~ comments welcome ~ Hugs BRIAN

 

GOD gave the Human Race a responsibility to Protect

and care for Planet Earth and conserve it as the Native

Americans did.  Since the Industrial Revolution Man has

isolated himself and exploited the Earth\'s resources and

(almost) irreversibly polluted the land ~ the seas ~ the air !

This exploitation and abuse of nature (GAIA) has resulted

in a population explosion from 1 BILLION IN 1800 to 7.5

billion today and 10 billion by 2050 ! However we are still

outnumbered many thousands to one by Earth\'s Flora &

Fauna & Micro-organisms. GAIA\'s role is to preserve ALL

LIFE not just Human Life. When Technological Man makes

the Planet inhabitable for Humans ~ then the Bacteria and

 the TOUGH TARDIGRADES will rule ~ UK and USA ~ OK !
