Nature

We can't live surrounded only by concrete and steel. We MUST protect the nature as it is. No forests, no trees. No trees, no oxygen. The nature is not ours to kill it.

Barry's Response - Surprisingly enough, many individual humans do live just like that. But as as species, we would all become threatened by extinction if there were were none of that nature, I'm quite sure. Thanks W.

Lets start by protecting the air. If you don't know what you do that pollutes the air, you can't fix it. So please figure it out.

While you're at it see how the pollution you (I really mean mankind in general) contribute to the much-talked-about climate change. Does air pollution really lead to global warming?

Do we, in the process of building our cities, our industries, our parks and houses, really need to rip out the forests that existed so peacefully right there, right before we came along? Maybe so, maybe we can integrate our operations more gracefully with these biomes, which seem to be getting in short supply lately. Maybe that would work better.

Maybe you would like a little more knowledge about our ecological impacts. Maybe you'd want me to supply with you with more of my insights on a monthly basis. I can; it won't cost you a thing, either. Scroll to the bottom of this page.

Winetou, you're right...

The Irony is that Many Humans already Live Surrounded by Concrete and Steel.

The cities hum like giant air purifiers on overdrive, sucking in clean air from everywhere else. It's just that the planet doesn't come with a spare filter.

Let's look at the air. We have to measure what we're doing to Nature before we can save it. You can't fix it if you don't know your pollutant footprint - your car, furnace, leaf blower, favorite fast-fashion delivery van.

But here's the twist: not all pollution is equal, and not every "climate panic" is accurate. Carbon dioxide is blamed for nearly every global fever. In moderation, this same molecule feeds every leaf on Earth. Forests breathe it in, exhale oxygen, and regulate their microclimates.

This is what meteorologists call feedback - the dance between the atmosphere and the biosphere. As trees grow, they create clouds, release aerosols, and cool the air through evapotranspiration. When you destroy the forest, the land doesn't just go bald, it begins to cook.

Physics isn't politics - it's physics. Here's where air quality science meets philosophy:

• Rainforests do not campaign for themselves. Carbon credits are not negotiated by the boreal forest. There is no protest against industrial zoning in the desert. Every one of them reacts instantly to what we do - chemically, thermodynamically, silently.
  - Few people ask: Can nature save us if we stop fighting it and start learning from it?
• My line of work - air quality consulting - sees this all the time. The best designs come from copying how rivers, roots, and air currents handle waste and flow, not from regulatory boxes.
  - A well-designed industrial stack disperses gases like a cumulus cloud releases energy: efficiently, vertically, and beautifully. It is possible for a well-planned site to breathe like a forest. That's grace-inspired science.
• Let's be honest, though. Many people tune out when they hear "climate change" - not because they don't care, but because it feels like a guilt trip. Elites fly to climate summits and preach restraint. While megacities belch smog, towns are fined for heating with wood.

Compassion Stops being Moral if it doesn't Include Fairness

There is no politics in nature.

The experience is humbling.

We can use sparrows, seeds, and storms as metaphors because they reveal truth without shouting. The concept of integrity isn't just about carbon counts; it's about stewardship, balance, and honesty.

We can't stop volcanoes, lightning, or wildfires - but we can stop pretending humans are powerless. It is possible to model dispersion, predict plume behavior, filter emissions, and keep the lights on at the same time. The goal of good environmental science should be to protect both people and productivity.

Let's Protect Nature

Truth must be protected along with it - even when it's messy, even when it's inconvenient. The real climate crisis isn't temperature; it's tunnel vision. Perhaps the most radical act of environmentalism left... is thinking freely.

🌱 A Call to Action

You've breathed through some heavy air if you've made it this far. Now I'd like to hear from you: "Nature" - a moral duty, a scientific puzzle, or a divine creation?
