Einstein is reported to have said something along the lines of “You cannot solve a problem with the same thinking that created it.” keep this in mind whilst you read through this rant.

Here are some simple questions which hopefully bring a little more clarity…

• Does the planet need saving? Let’s assume it does, Yes
• What does it need saving from? CO2, Global Warming/Cooling, De-forestation, Pollution, Nuclear Waste, Nuclear War, Health Pandemics, Junk Food, Genetically Modified Food, Global Financial Collapse,  etc etc… or possibly just mans Greed
• Who created the above? Mankind – oops sorry “Man”, not too many that are “kind”

So the simplest solution to “Saving the Planet” is to eliminate man.

Okay, okay let’s be a little more honest then and get to the root of the problem instead of treating symptoms.

Another round of questions…

• How long has the planet been in existence? We can safely say more than a billion years
• How long has man been around? Around 60,000 years
• Is the Earth a balanced system? Minus mans influence! Yes
• Does the planet need saving? No! Still think yes, what does it need saving from?
• Do we understand how the earth remains in balance? No!

So “Who really needs saving?”

Want to find the problem, go take a look in the mirror! Me, yes you! Us, man and what do we need saving from? Ourselves, we created the problem by not seeing ourselves as the cause and now we want to perpetuate the myth by “Saving the Planet”. Our ignorance created the problem we are now in ignorance trying to solve.

Want to know how widespread the problem is

Look at the huge and seemingly valid/authoritive sources that push the idea. Why? You may ask. Seems like there is money in “Saving the Planet”. Does mans arrogance know no bounds. “Green” really is green, as in, brings in the greenbacks.

Why are many companies going “Green” it’s profitable. Why do we need “Green” because profit making got us into the shit in the first place.

A simple definition of insanity: Repeating the same behaviour, expecting a different result.

Here is a saying that may make things a little clearer.

Chief Seattle “we do not inherit the earth from our ancestors; we borrow it from our children.” or in complete form “Treat the earth well: it was not given to you by your parents, it was loaned to you by your children. We do not inherit the Earth from our Ancestors, we borrow it from our Children.”

Idiotic and misleading statements

• Put the planet back together again
• Gadgets to save the planet

Oxymorons
