Re: Not nonsense
do I understand that you believe we can go on dumping these wastes into the air, water, and onto the soil without any concern of environmental repercussion?

Did you analyze the content of the coral found in your dives? Have you been doing this over the course of decades in order to determine changes?

I understand your argument "H", and you do have a point, however I think you must understand that a "balance" or "harmony" needs to be maintained in order to experience life as we have come to know it. Swinging the pendulum one way or the other upsets this balance opening the door for opportunistic organisms. When any ecosystem crashes, a form of life, such as an algae, or fungus, that can easily take advantage of the "changed" terrain moves in and flourishes... this is not necessarily a good thing for the life that once thrived there.
Argument one way or the other is fruitless and delays the sorely needed action of stopping what is causing the change... yesterday, if not sooner.
Have we not learned from past mass extinctions?

If you have a hard time comprehending my references and posts, perhaps you do not view the world as profoundly and synergistically connected/intertwined as I do.
A different world view.
Perhaps this is just another cycle of man's rise and fall - recorded BTW - in many "religious" texts along with the warnings and laws required to avoid such catastrophes...
One can remain in denial and continue to fight the truth all they want... it does not change it.
