Let us try to visualize
what is happening. The phenomenon is basically described as the
abnormal heating up of a strip of water in the Pacific Ocean that is
enough to unchain a series of serious climatic disturbances around
the entire planet.
The term “Strip,” is not the most appropriate one,
because what the satellite photos showed was an immense red wound of
ten thousand kilometers in extension and two thousand kilometers in
width, with an esteemed 300 meters in depth making the red area in the
ocean two times much bigger than the size of the United States. This
time “El Niño” (little boy) has shown the world that it has already
become an adult and it is now the biggest it has ever been.
In recent months some countries have already begun
to feel its effects and they have had a preview of what is to come in
the future by recollecting some of the facts that had happened in the
years of 1982 and 1983, the period in which El Niño was the most
intense than it had ever been registered to date. On that occasion a
mortal period of drought punished central Africa, southeast Asia and
the Brazilian northeast; in Australia alone, the longest dry spell
since colonial times provoked 340 deaths; in Tanzania hunger killed an
average of 150 children a day. Torrential rains fell for months in
South America and in the southwest of North America; in Peru the
rainfall was 340 times superior to its normal one, making the gush of
some rivers increase a thousand times more than their normal flow;
around 900 people died in the American continent because of flooding
and thousands of people lost their dwellings. The sum of total damages
all over the world reached the figure of eight billion dollars, the
biggest ever tragedy on this planet to date.
The fact that El Niño is a natural phenomenon does
not mean that it is normal. Above all else, it should be considered as
a very serious exhortation of nature; in reality it is clearly
addressed to the dominant species of this planet. The catastrophes
that are unleashed are far from mere climatic whims they are in fact,
automatic reprisals to the destructive human action of the
environment. It is therefore, exactly the inverse that is divulged by
the appeasing meteorological experts with their ever-ready unlimited
supply of useful explanations, in the form of pretentious
uncontestable scientific arguments.
In an article entitled “The Naming of El Niño,” Dr.
Carlos A. Nobre, a meteorologist of the Institute of Technology of
Massachusetts, wrote the following: “It is best to learn how to live
in peace with it. More still, when science permits a reasonable
forecast of the phenomenon and its effects. It is what is expected of
a society that uses the available scientific knowledge with
intelligence, and also knows how to observe nature and co-exist with
it.”
They are statements like these that give a false
reality and contribute to maintain humanity comfortably asleep in its
proverbial indolence, and that also help nourish and conserve this
collective lethargy, inducing people to apathetically (and eagerly)
accept any scientific lenitive that free them of thinking for
themselves. A few intellectual and melodious ballads are enough to put
the people into a deep sleep, prohibiting them from waking up, even
with the crashing sound of a collapsing world around them.
Nevertheless ballads are not capable of stopping catastrophes. Mother
nature’s thousand- year-old patience in relation to her problem child,
the Homo sapiens has expired. She has always been a loving mother,
providing everything necessary for the high spiritual species to be
able to use and enjoy a healthy existence here on Earth being fully
aware of it too. But what did she receive in retribution for her
dedicated care? The destruction of forests, the slaughter of animals,
the pollution of the air and waters, plus the poisoning of the soil...
And worse still all these “presents” came wrapped up in hate,
covertness, envy, wars and perversion. The punishment that she had to
apply along the centuries to its degenerate son, in the form of
catastrophes and epidemics, did not have any effect. They were not
sufficient enough to make him contemplate and retake the right path.
Finally, it became clear that she would end up being killed by this
monster if she allowed him to do it, as he had already placed himself
as lord and owner of her and thus she was disobliged to fulfill her
laws.
It is not man that dominates nature but in fact, it
is the other way around. Now the time has finally come for him to
learn the lesson that he is just another creature like any other in
nature, something that any other species already knew by heart for
thousands of years and has lived in accordance with it to now.
Not only is the cyclical red scar in the ocean
testimony of the continuous wounds that humanity has been inflicting
for a long time already, but it is also a sign, for whoever wants to
see that the last cleaning phase on Earth is in full swing.
In the
near future all the species - that of course also includes a certain
number of human beings - will integrate in a new nature that will be
healed and revived after the gangrened member, that today is made up
by the majority terrestrial humans that still threaten to destroy what
little remains of the healthy body in creation, will have been be
definitively amputated.
