Good write but I am afraid the answer seems to be "No we haven't"
Thanks for your honesty ANDY ~ pleased you enjoyed the Poem ! Our descendants will still be alive in 2100 and we want them to inherit a Living Planet ~ not a dying one ! IT'S NOT TOO LATE and every individual can make a contribution TO SAVE THE PLANET ~ AMEN ~ BRIAN
Goldie and I was alive in 2100 million BC. We're both millions of years old, so we say! Well, we was both there in 1066 at Hastings. lol.
Oh vanity! I only do this so no one will guess my real age! heehee.
But - if we all did nothing, nothing at all would change for the better. A fine write B.
THANKS STEVE ~ Very True ~ we can all do SOMETHING ! Don't forget my Tipple FUSION ~ BRIAN
As a planet we are definitely not green enough and that is evident in global warming. Great poem for today! But like you said in a response it's up to each individual to make a contribution to save the planet! Doing what I can. Again, great write! Hugs, Christina
THANKS CHRIS ~ Sorry to be on my ECOLOGICAL SOAP BOX again but most people dont understand or even know about GAIA ! The concept is that PLANET EARTH is a single living breathing self-regulating organism. So every time you and I breath in we absorb some of GAIAs precious OXYGEN and when we breath out we increase GAIAs CO2 ~ we are all in this together and there are 7.5 billion of us ~ the majority all giving GAIA a hard time. Unfortunately GAIA is responding (on our behalf !) by allowing the CO2 level to rise to 430 ppm (from 250 ppm) and the mean Global Temperature from 15.0 C to 16.1 C ~ her ice caps are melting and her sea levels are rising and GAIA\'s Forest Tresses are being trimmed ~ GAIA is not a Happy Bunny and we are all RESPONSIBLE ~ SO SO SAD, Dont blame GAIA blame non~green Politicians like TRUMP ~ ECOLOGICAL HUGS ~ BRIAN
Mother Nature will prevail. Antibiotic resistant bacteria, floods, famine, etc. will help restore balance.
Sorry, did not mean to divert from the beauty of which you speak. Hugs
Thanks "A" GAIA (Mother Nature) is a Dynamic Biochemical System which i CONSCIOUS (alive) but has no CONSCIENCE ! When constraints are applied like POLLUTION ~ CO2 INCREASE ~ INCREASED POPULATION & URBANISATION ~ GAIA always responds by opposing the constraint and restoring equilibrium. However the results of GAIA's action could be detrimental to H Sapiens ~ OK.
I can say no. But, I would love to learn more. I appreciate your teaching and need to confess that I'm a little child learning from the subject. Can you teach us more?
THANKS MALU ~ Each Poem on MPS carries a Message (and Messages) ~ most inform ~ some entertain ~ some shock ~ some amuse some make us cry. I will continue to post Poems with a Popular Science content and being a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry (FRSC) I am obliged to share and popularise SCIENCE. I have explained more about GAIA in some of my answers to comments. I am humbled by your comment and request ! Hugs ~ BRIAN. Today\'s Poem is an ABCDarian list of Herbs & Spices ~ Thanks B
Thank you. I'm sure I'm going to love to read it.
