We are the virus and we are the cure

Imagine this world, this whole world around us is a huge living creature, say it is a huge human just like are but it is huge. And we are something like microbes or something in the body of this huge human. It needs us just like we need those bacteria inside of us. So, this man is body and we are bacteria, we are important bacteria and we need this human just like it needs us. Though, instead of being of great help for him we turn into something weird and aggressive and we kill this human from the inside. Instead of healing him and supporting him we kill him. We kill this huge human we live in and the very day it dies we die together with him because there will be no place for living for us. There is no way for us to be so stupid to not to realize it, I guess we are just too optimistic to believe that everything will be great just like that and we don’t have to apply efforts. Though, we are wrong when we think so. We are the virus for this man and we are the cure. We can heal him or kill him, but if we kill him – we kill ourselves.

Light pollution

It is not actually about ecology but still there is such kind of pollution as light pollution. People are afraid of darkness and they need light all around then and they do their best in order to get rid of darkness and to have more light around them. They have lamps and lights and so on and so forth. And they have actually managed to make their cities as bright at night as those are at day. Though, chasing for the light at night on the earth people have list the light in the sky, they see no stars at night and it is a result of light pollution. The lights of the cities are so bright and there are so many of those that night sky is lightened and there are no stars people can see. They deprive themselves of the opportunity to see the night beauty of the sky because they are too afraid of darkness. Well, such a pollution never influences people of nature around them if not considering the fact about capacity that is needed to make all those lights bright and this capacity comes from the earth because there is no another place people can get it from.

The Ecology of the Outer Banks

The Outer Banks can still be considered one of nature’s most wondrous ecology study grounds available. While there is plenty of residential and tourist activity, the Outer Banks are an amazing array of nature’s most beautiful and natural environments that there are still accessible to humans. All you have to do is stand there for a few moments and you can literally be swept away by the ecology of the island, watching the wildlife come to life all around you. The most amazing ecological studies have been done here, including the ones that track the behaviors of the local and nearby bottle nosed dolphin inhabitants.
The ecology of the Outer banks made it one of the most likely places to study the dolphin’s natural behavior without as much interruption to their daily routine that can be found in Florida or Virginia. What made the study of the Outer banks dolphins and the natural forces of the ecology so stunning is that these dolphins seemed so much less aggressive than the ones on the Southern tip of Virginia, just over the border, where the dolphins were turning aggressive rapidly. The basic outcome of the study proved that the natural ecology of the Outer Banks meant that it was a more dolphin friendly area due the lack of disturbance to their natural environment. These studies helped ecologists figure out how to temper the violence among dolphins along the Virginia coast line. There is no better specimen in the world.

The Extent of the Expected Climate Changes

The various scenarios anticipated by the end of the century change in the average temperature varies from higher to 10 ° C to its reduction on the current level. Usually operate as «most likely» average value of 2-3 ° C, while the average of the value does not become more reasonable. In fact, this forecast should take into account not only the basic processes in complex natural machine that determines the climate of our planet, but also scientific, technological and social achievements of mankind in the century ahead.
Do we have today, as a climate of Earth, and if not, to understand whether in the near future? All professionals in this field confidently give a negative answer to both questions. But can we predict the technological and social development of civilization in the next hundred years? Actually, what the time horizon of more or less real prediction? The answer is also quite evident. The most conservative and at the same time defining the industry a modern economy - energy, raw materials industry, heavy and chemical industries. Capital expenditure in these areas is so high that the equipment is almost always used to develop a full life - nearly 30 years. Consequently, industrial and energy companies, which are now being introduced into operation, will determine the technological potential of the world during the first third of a century. Given that all the other sectors (such as electronics and communications) evolve much more rapidly, more than 30 years and can not be peeped. As examples showing the price of a bold predictions often recall fears futurologists the end of the XIX century, predict that the streets of London will be loaded with manure, although the first cars have already appeared on the roads of England.
