Trees are dying

We need trees. . ..but trees are dying en masse globally.   

Trees and forests and lands and lives of our tiny world are dying en masse as some humans, many humans pump deadly quantities of carbon species into our air such as carbon dioxide as CO2, methane as CH4 (25 to 100 times more powerful as a greenhouse gas than CO2) and other species of carbon such as carbon monoxide that clings to the molecule in humans that should be carrrying oxygen as O2 to their cells so that humans can stay alive day to day and minute to minute.

But some just don't get it.  

We can't afford that.

But some just don't get it.

Trees of green leaves and trunks and deep roots capture carbon and store it in usable, productive, living systems, but humans are killing green, productive green systems that protect and nurture humanity.   Trees and humans both have the same structure of molecule:   Trees absorb carbon dioxide as CO2 that humans exhale, bind it to a molecule of the same structure as humans' haemoglobin, but with manganese in the middle instead of iron in a process called photosynthesis to take the carbon molecule and use it to build wood and to give humans oxygen to breathe as O2 (from CO2).

Humans then take in the O2 from trees and a molecule exactly like the tree's molecule, haemoglobin joins with O2 to take O2 to human cells so that humans can survive day to day and minute to minute.   Humans exchange the O2 for CO2 that is shipped out with that wonder molecule with an iron Fe molecule in the middle to launch into the air so that trees can consume what the animal organism has produced.

An ecological economy, a logical economy of nature's diverse green and blue earth systems produce critical flows so that others can consume. . .and consume diverse flows to produce diverse flows to share freely, critcial flows impossible to count in terms of mechanical, artificial human metal coins.

Trees nurture green, photosynthetic habitat and biovehicles for cleaning our water,  cleaning our air, making our soil, growing food and shelter and peace, producing oxygen as a fragile, double-bonded, hidden but precious molecule as O2, critical flows to keep humans alive day to day and minute to minute.

But some just don't get it.

Trees protect humans with productive, cleansing, vibrant forests to prevent costly floods and erosion and deadly droughts and desertification.   Trees buffer our lands, climate, oceans to protect us from extremes.   Trees nurture and feed us without pay.    In return, human cities slaughter the forests that keep us alive day to day and minute to minute.

But some just don't get it and assume that because earth looks flat and simple and immediate and private and dense when they get up in the morning that the earth is flat that they "own". .. ..   But they are wrong, wrong scientifically, wrong mathematically, wrong economically, wrong morally and often wrong legally.

But Eden is almost dead and we need to save the trees and fragile habitats and critical earth systems that are left here and there to save our selves, to hold our fragile web for all life intact, to resuscitate Eden.

Is the Biblical story of Adam and Eve actually a parable about the deadly costs and consequences of consumptive human cash systems that destroy God's productive green nature?

We can reverse the process before its too late, but we need to redefine our use of the word, "economy". . . .

The word root, "eco-" as in "eco+nomic" and in "eco+logic" means "house" or "oikos" in Greek. .. . but not every house nurtures those within.   Some houses hurt and destroy habitats and inhabitants within. .. .to destroy the ability of that house to feed its self, to care for its self.    Those cruel houses need war to take from the other to get for the private self, destroying habitats and inhabitants of 100%.

But that does not pay.   That costs too much.   But our cash-driven destructive counts are destroying our abilities to survive, stigmatizing those who stand up and speak out to try to speak for the voiceless.

But many don't know what to say.

I do.

We need to count more than cash.  

We need to count more than only one, private, immediate, obvious now stuck in urbanizing walls that destroy nature's productive potentials.

We need nature to produce enough critical flows to keep humans and earth alive day to day and minute to minute.

We need our legal system to protect the innocent instead of crushing life and lives of the many.

We need our economic system to count more than cash. . .. to value the invaluable impossible to count in cash.

We need civil government, the ancient concept of the Rule of Law and moral laws of reciprocity (two way flows that balance any living system) to protect the innocent, to hold the fragile web for all life intact.

We cannot afford to value only private cash-flow floods of only 1%.

We need to hold criminals accountable for their crimes.

We need to protect God's green productive nature of earth's complex systems from those that count only human cash.

If humans have caused desertification, humans can reverse the process.   Humans can divest from dirty energy, plant forest after forest after forest to jump start the hydrological processes of our critical water cycles that humans have destroyed.  

Trees cultivate our earth to allow rainwater to recharge our critical groundwater systems.

But some just don't get it.

Some value dirty, toxic bitumen and toxic fracken waste more than they value drinking water or oxygen as O2 to keep humans alive.   Some value deadly privatized cashflow floods of only 1% more than they value their own children's survival.

I noticed many, many trees dying in Iowa in the summer of 2007.   Then floods hit Iowa in 2008.   Did the same climatic conditions that caused the dying also cause the flood, or did the die off help to cause the flooding?

I am noticing many trees dying this year also, 2013 as we recover from a historic drought in spring and summer of 2012 with record rainfalls this winter and spring of 2013.  What will happen next?   Most humans have never seen such extremes.

Then I read that the "World's biggest, oldest trees are dying. .  .." in this article in GoodPlanet.info:


We cannot afford to count only private, immediate, obvious cashflow floods for only 1%.

We need to hold the fragile web for all life intact, instead.   We cannot have both.

We need to edit our economic system so that it will count more than cash:

Ironically, human cash systems count the most critical flows for humans the least. . . .and count the least critical the most.

Ironically, mechanical, urbanizing cash systems count the most critical flows for humans the least, critical flows that humans need to survive day to day and minute to minute, such as oxygen and water and soil to grow food.  

Ironically, harsh, artificial mechanical cash systems count the least critical flows the most, the most deadly the most, bloody diamonds, gold and dirty energy:

Ironically, human cash counts the most critical and hidden flow, photosynthetic and inalieanble oxygen as O2 the least . . . even though humans die within minutes without O2. .. .. O2 converted easily to toxic forms (such as CO, O3, CO2).

Ironically, human cash counts the next most critical and hidden flow, water as H2O the next least. . . . even though humans die within days without H2O. . .. .H2O also converted easily to toxic forms.

Ironically, human cash counts the next most critical and hidden flow, rich, organic topsoil and soil makers (such as forests and virgin lands).   Human cash values soil that produces food for humans the next least. . .. .even though humans die within months without food, ironically.

Ironically, human cash counts the most deadly, private, immediate and obvious flows the most, obvious, bloody structures of diamonds, gold, dirty energy including "clean coal" and propaganda, dirty coal, dirty nuclear risks, dirty petroleum and bitumen, dirty oil, dirty oil wars, dirty methane and "clean" and "safe" methane that is not clean or safe, methane as CH4 that is 25 to 100 times more powerful as a greenhouse gas as CO2.   Scientists have used CO2 as an indicator for global climate change, meaning that they have not anticipated the unexpected heating caused by methane as CH4, and have been shocked by the rates of acceleration of heating on earth, causing super frankenstorms such as Sandy that slammed the East Coast last year.

Ironically, mechanical human cash counts the most critical flows the least and the least critical the most.. . .

Human cash counts the most obvious, privatized, immediate the most, urban walls and barriers and structures, dense, impermeable, absolute with no questions.

Human cash systems cannot see the living systems of God's green nature, hidden genetic potentials of all living organisms, plants, animals, earth systems that produce all flows that humans consume. . ..critical flows of air and water and food.    So human cash systems don't value or count those critical flows. . . .even though critical flows keep humans alive day to day and minute to minute.

Ironically, humans cannot use artificial, mechanical terms of human cash coins (or paper) to value the invaluable, to measure God's green, productive nature:

Artificial human cash systems divide mechanically to count, to crush. . .. and crushe to count to divide, to crush the competition, to destroy the other, the diverse, the unknown.. . .not to share.   The motives are different.   God's green nature shares critical flows impossible to count in cash freely.

Mechanical human cash systems depend on the negative to push the other, the unknown, the diverse, the non-self down to lift the private self up. ... to take from the other to get for the private self in a linear universe. . .. .to assume erroneously that privatized cash profiteering justifies all ....that linear worlds are the only worlds we need because the world looks flat also when I get up in the morning.

Urbanizing walls and barriers assume erroneously that privatized cash profiteering justifies all. ...but they are wrong, very, very wrong, wrong scientifically, wrong mathematically, wrong economically, wrong morally.

Numerous religions warn against valuing human cash more than God's green nature.   But some, many just don't get it.

Humans rarely have the opportunity to escape thick, dense, obstructive human walls and barriers to discover the amazing wonders of God's green nature, sanctuaries of green that nurture the many, that inspire the many to grow upwards toward light toward a clean, vital future  .. . to mature genetically enough to produce riches of the earth enough to count in cash.

But some just don't get it.

Our children need the opportunity to find safe, affordable access to God's green natre, Eden to learn to grow upwards toward the positive enough to thrive, to let nature do the work.

But some just don't get it.
