Penguins

    We know with certainty that the Earth’s atmosphere has gone through significant changes in temperature and composition over the millennia.

   We also know with certainty that land which was deep under the oceans is now the tops of some of the highest mountains.

   The planet and life on the planet are in constant flux. Species that had existed in the past are no longer here and their absence is not because of man but because they either could not adapt in their present form or they adapted by changing their physiology to conform to the new conditions.

   A couple of days ago it was reported that more than usual dead baby penguins were washing up on the shores of Brazil. The article stated that biologist Erli Costa of Rio de Janeiro’s Federal University feels that this is the result of changing weather patterns around Antarctica caused by global warming which is causing rougher seas and stronger currents than the baby penguins are able to cope with.

    A food scarcity caused by over-fishing may be forcing the young penguins to swim further from shore and they are unable to out-swim the currents.

   What will be the consequences of this situation?

The stronger young penguins will survive and contribute to the gene pool of the remaining penguins. Antarctic penguins will evolve into a stronger breed.

   There is historical evidence of this rapid evolution as is seen in the Hawaiian people. The indigenous Hawaiian was a very powerful and large person of great endurance and very acute eyesight.

   Those were the characteristics necessary for survival by paddling a canoe across great distances of open ocean. To get to Hawaii these people had to paddle against the Pacific North Equatorial Current, had to travel long distances without food and had to be able to see the tiny specks of clouds in the distance that formed over islands.

   The open ocean traveler without those characteristics perished just as the weaker Antarctic penguin of today.

   That is the way of life. If the Earth warms, those people who can survive the climate change will survive and reproduce. When the Earth cools again, the process will reverse itself. This has always been the pattern and will continue to be so in the future.

   Humanity will not simply disappear.

   There is one cold hard fact that alters the natural selection of those who contribute to the gene pool. Today, through emotion, humanity is interfering with the process.

   We are promoting “survival of the weakest” by spending millions of dollars keeping babies alive who are too weak to survive on their own.

   That may sound like a cruel and insensitive statement but it is nevertheless true.

   These infants, who are too unsuited for life on the planet, will be contributing to the gene pool and eventually we may be the cause of our own extinction rather than climate change.

   I know that this is a cold statement but it is true.

   Remember, that is the reason why I write these articles.

Truth– rather than emotion, politics or prejudice–will ensure our economic, cultural and physical survival.

    You are quite right; reality is harsh and unforgiving.

    In the Pacific Northwest there were sportsmen carrying the bumper sticker on their cars that say, “Save the Rainbow Trout”. They forgot to add the last two words, “For Me”.

    Just as today, they are sporting such things as, “Save the Earth”. Well, I’ve got news. The Earth doesn’t give a damn.

    The Earth will continue to change and we’d damn well better change with it. If we all got wiped clean tomorrow, give the Earth a few thousand times around the sun and the only thing that would be left, to signify that we were here, are the pyramids!

  18. I always visit your blog and retrieve everything you post here but I never commented but today when I saw this post, I couldn’t stop myself from commenting here. Fantastic article mate!

  19. Your blog provides a fresh look at the subject. Great job mate!

  20. This is my first time i visit here. I found so many entertaining stuff in your blog, especially its discussion. From the tons of comments on your articles, I guess I am not the only one having all the enjoyment here! Keep up the good work.

  21. Hey, just looking around some blogs, seems a pretty nice platform you are using. I’m currently using Wordpress for a few of my sites but looking to change one of them over to a platform similar to yours as a trial run. Anything in particular you would recommend about it? qqbhxc4412

  22. a very good writeup by you hope to come back more really soon.

  23. The most comprehensive and very well thought out write up I have found on this subject on the net. Keep on writing, I will keep on coming by to read your new content. This is my fourth time coming by your blog.

  24. I’m a blog enthusiast and with so many blogs on the internet now, not very many stand out. Your blog caught my attention and I thought that I would post to let you know that.

  25. You got a definitely helpful blog I’ve been right here reading for about an hour. I’m a newbie and your accomplishment is quite a lot an inspiration for me.

  26. I really enjoyed reading this. I think I will that a look through your other posts!

  27. Hey, nice color scheme. I’m think of doing the same for my site.
    I’ve been trying to setup a blog just like yours, can you tell me how you managed it?
    There’s a lot of stupidity in this world. Should we fight it or just let it take of itself?
    Do you really have experience in this field? If so, I would like to ask you a few questions.
    It’s actually a pretty funny story what happened after I drank mushroom tea. I started posting random comments.

    A mind is like a parachute. It doesn’t work unless it’s open.

  28. Nice!! Great Ifo. Great People. Great Blog. Thank you for all the great sharing that is being done here.

  29. This is a very good post. Can I use this on my site?

  30. The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod’s. It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.

  31. I just need a little explanation, would anyone care to elaborate on the last comment?
    I don’t think it’s up to anyone to judge what people’s posts should be about. Why not allow everyone to just say what they want (in designated threads, ofcourse)?
    Hey, what’s the best way to start blogging right away? Like, without any difficult setups.
    Would anyone tell a joke about this? I can’t stand being depressed like this.

    Whisper my favorite words: “I’ll buy it for you.”

  32. It is a curious fact that people are never so trivial as when they take themselves seriously. Great Post!

  33. Aw, this was a really quality post. In theory I’d like to write like this too – taking time and real effort to make a good article… but what can I say… I procrastinate alot and never seem to get something done.

  34. I agree with the above poster.

  35. Great site, figured out a few new things! Subscribed RSS for later, hope to see more updates like this one.

  36. I’ve been visiting your blog for a while now and I always find a gem in your new posts. Thanks for sharing.

  37. Credit for the great blog post. I am glad I have taken the time to read this.

  38. You have your way. I have my way. As for the right way, the correct way, and the only way, it does not exist. Great Post!

  39. Great article, I wonder how you are doing, that you please go to write such good articles. Maybe with time and in my blog will have similar information.

  40. magnificent post….credit for sharing.. exceptionally useful for me i will bookmark this for my forthcoming needed. thankfulness for a groovy source.

  41. This is an epic post, maybe I should add add this blog to my blogroll? :)
