GLOW WORM

There are over 8,700,000 species of life on this earth, and I am sure, before man began his destruction of the earth, there could have been many more. According to Evolutionary Biologist, 99.9% of earlier species are extinct. If we now have fewer species is hard to say, but man has decimated buffalo herds, destroyed rain forests, and dried up rivers and lakes. Nature sometimes burns forests with lightning, but probably the biggest culprit is man, the camper. There have been cases documented where evil-minded people have started fires for their own benefit, such as creating jobs as smoke jumpers and forest fire fighters. Man has ruined much of the environment and is hell-bent on ruining the atmosphere with its heavy carbon footprint. There is much denial of this because of political reasons, but an unbiased person who is willing to objectively monitor the climates today knows we are heading downhill with global warming. Soon Polar bears, walruses and other arctic animals will be extinct, if we let this destruction continue. We know there have been natural climate changes for millions of years, but this is different. This still may be controllable. Most of the politicians, at least in the United States, get elected with big money from manufacturers etc. and they could care less about the future. Maybe someday we will get national leaders in the world who really care about the declining species and the diminishing returns happening now. If the world continues ignoring its current polluting ways, it may become too late, and the human species will die off. The surviving animals will once again dominate the earth until there is an evolution from apes to man. There were so many species during the early ages of the earth, and there are less and less today. Man has become so selfish and lazy today he will pay an Elk rancher who has these beautiful animals trapped in a fenced-in location and allow these so called hunters to drive on their ATV's and shoot an Elk without hiking a few feet. Then there is the gall the lazy hunter shows when he mounts the head in his mansion back home and brags about his Davy Crockett prowess. If he really had to survive in the wilderness, he would starve to death in a week. Man is in the process of destroying what God gave us in about 200 years that took millions of years to create. We all enjoy the modern conveniences that technology has provided, but if and when we look at the cost, we see that future generations will pay the cost and will suffer. However, there is a different possibility that perhaps man has not considered. Perhaps the very technology that man is currently using to destroy species could possibly be used to create species. Time will tell; otherwise it is back to the Stone Age for us. Maybe it has happened already, and we are the second time around.
