Lifeguard

Many feel the Chinese population controls to limit the number of children restrict freedom. Their system of governance does not allow the same range of speech and personal choice Americans have enjoyed. Yet, there’s a complex argument that allowing free breeding is the ultimate restriction. Overpopulation is perhaps the key ingredient in climate change. Recipes require the right elements for the cake to rise… just like the water. 

Rising temperatures and stronger storms can be directly tied to the effects industry. Faster and deadlier than ever before- viruses have a feeding ground with the hotter atmosphere. All the boundaries that existed when the world was colder, with more ice, are gone. Insects that would have died in the old climate are thriving with the heat. They spread trouble father and with more consequential effects than at any time in human history. 

Communication is virtually unfiltered today. Many believe technology can balance any situation; access to health care would prolong lives. This is a paradox. A greater population would increase the irreconcilable damage to the environment. An argument for unrestricted procreation, in areas like China, increases the speed of disaster for everyone already present. 

Towns are washing away while someone elsewhere else is voicing discontent for any baby that would be terminated. Another is speaking out about the insurance system… The complexity of the longer lifespan’s evaporation of wealth doesn’t seem to surface much. When people live longer – it costs on the economy, the environment, and eats away at their estate. 

A generation ago, people lived shorter lives. This led to property and wealth being handed down when they died… people a head-start in life. Now that the elderly live longer, they are using more social security than ever before. A system that was developed then the life expectancy was 67. In 2008 there was a housing crisis because people defaulted on their loans. The same is true with old age. 

In prior generations, people had their children at earlier ages. This led to quicker turnarounds for having kids out of the house and into the work force. Parents began to save after the kids left home. When children are conceived to older parents, they are biologically more vulnerable to a variety of issues. They also leave the house when parents are closer to retirement age and have less time to accumulate wealth.

Twenty-five years ago, a younger father provided for a younger and healthier child. Today, kids are born to single older parents where families are broken into multiple households. Circumstances that worsen the climate while being statistically unfavorable to ever make-up any of the lost ground. In every sense of the term… 

As more housing is burned and washed away – there’s less space for people. Fewer trees and areas to naturally cleanse the pollution out of the air or water. Think of people trying to stay on the surface while waiting for a helping hand. When the rescue swimmer arrives, the further he must drag each person to safety, the more exhaustion. 

Though debt is a complex topic, many people can easily understand that high interest rates are difficult to overcome. Trying to borrow money from shady characters might be a risk to your health… That is the situation with climate. Humans keep manipulating the land and sea to accommodate population and greed. Each additional person, place, and thing is a percentage point on the planet.

Cheap and dirty stuff is everywhere. Manufacturing items to consume, turns natural elements into trash. Older times meant having to travel a greater distance to acquire goods. This limited the smaller population’s ability to pollute. Modern shopping brings everything to any doorstep no matter what the distance is. 

This is no different than a person who destroys the trust and love of a family through addiction. Genuine sobriety involves no longer using. Something that seems impossible to achieve for a materialistic world. Less people could be reckless. Freedom is a wonderful concept of opening doors, including the ability to offend others. 

Just because you can doesn’t make it a good idea… Living from one paycheck to the next has led us to the anxiety of living from one storm to another. For that to stop, people need to be still. A simple decision that would save some dollars and slow down the manufacturing. This is one possible choice in our range of freedoms. 

Rather than becoming carbon neutral, people have tried every variation to increase consumption every year. Less people are eating family dinners on their reusable dishes and saving for the alleged generational wealth many paint in a negative light. However, these are the ingredients that lead to fewer flood warnings and disasters. Earn money and don’t spend it… slow the machines down and increase your statement balance. 

Experts speak of the technological advances for going green. That still involves manufacturing to supply those items. Maintaining the materialism culture with cleaner choices is still borrowing at a different rate. The unfortunate truth of existence is that older folks fight battles their predecessors didn’t because of the prolonged lifespan. There is no coincidence at the number of cancers or neurological obstacles we document now. 

Once enough time has passed mobility fades inside and out. The vessel’s ability to perform functions like fight off germs or remember is significantly weaker. An old pair of glasses can have the parts swapped, be bandaged together, and still be of minimal usefulness. The time comes for a new prescription and a refreshing view. 

Gardeners know turning the old into compost fuels our next generation of crops. But, if the last year’s remnants occupied the field, there would be no place to plant new seeds next time. Planting through the debris would suffocate new and stifle growth. If a fresh field were to be required for each new harvest, resources would become scarce. 

A delicate balance once existed with a smaller industrial presence. A time when food, intelligence, and the chances of survival were not artificial. The unwillingness of humans to minimize consumption has created a lottery. Weather will determine where and how survivors carry on after Earth is done with stormy population control. 

There are direct relationships between the number of people to damage done to the environment. Each day someone remarks about heat and flooding, though the speaker doesn’t talk about changes they have considered or made. Perhaps they are feeling lucky and plan to be spared. 

What the planet must do to heal itself is going to happen with us or without…
