Dramatic planetary changes
(thanks to the bbc...)
An atlas of environmental change compiled by the United Nations reveals some of the dramatic transformations that are occurring to our planet.
Where China's Huang He - or Yellow River,
the muddiest river on Earth - flows into the
ocean, sediments such as mica and feldspar
are deposited in the delta, causing it to
change dramatically in recent decades.
[...]
Among the transformations highlighted in the atlas are the huge growth of greenhouses in southern Spain, the rapid rise of shrimp farming in Asia and Latin America and the emergence of a giant, shadow puppet-shaped peninsula at the mouth of the Yellow River [see above] that has built up through transportation of sediment in the waters.
you can see it in the u.s. as well... flying over denver, phoenix, las vegas, and reno as i did twice last week, the amount of land under development is staggering... driving around colorado springs is a similar story...
p.s. (snark... sorry, can't resist...) keep in mind, if john bolton is confirmed as u.s. ambassador to the u.n., it won't be too long before the u.n. is dismantled and then we won't have to be upset with such disturbing images... Submit To Propeller
