I
re-watched David Attenborough’s Planet Earth and the last disc of
The Future contain 3 episodes: saving species, into the wilderness,
living together. I was really pissed by the clowns using most two
reason to dissuade the Change: 1.‘We don’t really know climate
change is man-made factor’. 2. ‘…, yes, we have to save our
environment, our planet, BUT there are majority poor People in the
world, we Have To Develop the Global Economy to help them.
The
first question is debunked today that most people believe Climate
Change is man-made factor. But the second excuse is really subtle to
argue.
There
are 2 types of people who using Economy Development to block or
postpone the Earth-Saving Movement: really poor people live in all
corners of the global who have no clean water and enough food to feed
their families and most of them are like my grandparents generations
in China (1950-1980) never learned birth-control was a possible
method to prevent tragedy, every family breed nearly 10 children, and
a few of their children die of malnutrition, actually starvation is
the right word, mothers have no food to eat, and they cannot produce
milk, only stare at their infant die. Every family has its story of 2
or 3 infants died during 1950-1970, usually the youngest. Their real problem is they
lack of education about their economy structure limits a couple’s
ability to only raise 1 or 2 child(ren), because the wealth of the
nation is not distributed in socialist or communist structure, which
means families share even portion produce of the land. Even today, in
developed world such as US, the tax payers can only afford to together
bring up every child to grow up by providing food and necessity, not
piano or ballet class, not college tuition or a good paid job. Kids
can survive, but to succeed they must compete, study hard, otherwise
they will be jobless, knee deep in debt, and suffer. The system sort us out, the violent and aggressive are lock up, the smart and diligent gain more choices. Baby booming
only good for economy, it drives down labor cost, accelerates consumption and helps those at
top accumulate more wealth in fast rate. If poor people have
convenient contraception support and choices like free college courses, travel then they would not choose to have 4th or 5th or 6th or more
child. But governments lure the poorly educated people to bring more
babies into their future economy and labor force by promising them
free child care and hospital, formula aid etc, and backed by large
corporations chanting the slogan of Economic Development for purely
corporation profit aim. Many parents grow up in poor environment
never really learned about basic human value and dignity living, and
they compare every situation with their childhood memory so they
breed. My parents were poor, they never really cared about my future
when they bred me, like most of Chinese parent generations, they did
not know about economy, nor real life value being poor since their
childhood, many of them did not even do a basic math of wage divide
by mouth. So I think for a global corporation lobbyists to advocate
Economic Development for the poor better divide more of their annual
profit to the poor country directly instead of giving a good speech
or argument. Also, most poor don’t care about economy development,
nor they really care about their children living condition otherwise
they would take the pill or herb.
Saving
environment is mostly nations, governments’ and corporations’ responsibility.
Not the poor people, because people starve spend all their time and
energy to scramble for some crumbs, they would shoot a rhino or an
elephant, cut off the horn and tusk, in fact they would bless God by
doing it, because that’s a (probably only) way they can get out,
pull their family out of poverty, send their kids to college or money
for the road to Europe or America, if I were a poor father I will
shoot the last rhino or elephant, I would shoot it with AR-15, I
would make sure its god damn dead and cut all profitable pieces to
just give my son or daughter a future out of cesspool that I repent
to bring them there. The poor people’s job is to dodge suffering
and starvation, to move up ladder. The poor have no financial muscle,
no political structure, no scientific insight or wisdom, no foresight
to preserve our environment. The most they can do is protest in EU
and US, other parts of world they cannot even protest to save their
forests, old landmarks, or rivers. But, the Rich powerful global
corporations add together their capitals can buy all the green lands,
they have financial ability and political influence to do the right
thing, it’s purely their responsibility, but right now they care
about converting forests to a few gazillion numbers on their saving
accounts, and they do that under a banner of ‘helping the poor of
the world’, like our politicians and all their corporal lobbyist
buddies singing ‘creating jobs for American’.
there’s
an Ancient Chinese proverb: “留得青山在，不怕没柴烧””keep
the mountain green, so never run out of firewood”
I
love all David Attenborough’s nature series! So educational for me,
artists and writers should all watch those dvds, a lot of inspiring
material there, good for creativity.
