We humans are just great big, clever, stupid, rubbish creators and destroyers of everything.

Years ago, maybe 7 years ago, Dr. Charlie Teo was warning us about mobile phones and radiation.


Hell...years before then...we Greenies... hippies...alternatives...whatever, knew there was a likely problem...even if it was just because computers and mobile phones were new technologies and we were racing headlong towards it. 

Once again human beings were going all out and grabbing something new with both hands well before we really understood what impact it might have on our health, or more importantly, on the health of our children....just like we did with cigarettes, asbestos, chemical insecticides, fungicides, radiation, plastics, fossil fuels, GM and a whole lot of things that we adopted way to quickly and enthusiastically and recklessly and that we now know make us and the planet sick. 





ANYWAY....as we humans have ALWAYS done, we've thrown caution to the wind and become completely dependent on satellites and computer technologies....completely dependent... and our little ones use phones ALL THE DAMN TIME!


I was telling, warning people about this even before Dr Charlie was poo pooed for being a naysayer and people were treating me as though I was an absolute idiot.

Dear God almighty! We humans are just great big, clever, stupid, rubbish creators and destroyers of everything....AAhhhh!

Here's a nice picture of the Earth... except it's not. It's a computer image of the junk that humans have left in orbit around the earth up 'til now and it's growing each day. Humans aren't satisfied with destroying the Earth. We want to destroy space as well.

Scientists have absolutely no idea what to do about this growing problem and it's going to get worse and worse as the bits of junk run into each other and create ever tinier and ever more deadly pieces of debris travelling at 8,000 miles per hour....preventing any kind of space vehicle leaving or entering Earth's atmosphere. Aren't we the clever ones?

My imagine runs amok. Will it create a cloud in space...around the Earth....blocking the sunlight?
