Seeds of life on Earth may have come from Mars or other planets Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

First of all, there are plenty of microbes right here on planet Earth that can threaten existing life on planet Earth. We have Ebola, SARS, the bird flu virus and other infectious diseases that have the perfect environment right here on Earth in which to mutate, spread and multiply. In fact, human beings are quite susceptible to being killed by viruses. Ebola has a 90% fatality rate, for example. At the same time, microbes from Mars pose an entirely new threat because they are unknown. They may present something never before encountered by molecular biologists.

Book review: The Flip by David Rippe and Jared Rosen teaches real solutions for personal and planetary transformation Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

In reading these sections, you'll be introduced to a whole new way of thinking about topics like deciding what to eat for breakfast, interacting with health care practitioners, or considering your true ecological footprint on planet Earth. This book opened up my eyes on more than one topic, and if you're the kind of person who wishes to see a brighter future for our world, I think you'll easily consider The Flip to be one of the top ten most important books you've ever owned. I enjoyed this book immensely.

In Mexico, chemicals banned in the United States are used for crop production, and I detailed the extensive contamination of Mexican produce with chemicals banned in the United States in Diet for a Poisoned planet. Maria Cone reports in the Los Angeles Times most of these women were exposed to DDT through recent applications of the compound, noting that DDT was used on farms until 1995 and for mosquito control until 2000. DDT continues to be used worldwide today as protection against malaria.

Mars, it seems, is far more hospitable than some of these extreme environments on Earth, and if we're finding microbes in such environments on planet Earth, there is a very real possibility that they may be found on Mars. In terms of life in the universe, I'm an optimist, because I think there is life on other planets in our solar system, not to mention the other solar systems in other galaxies in our universe. I think life is very successful, and that if there's any possible way to exist in a climate, you will find life there.

It can even be a global killer -- so devastating that it wipes out entire species by blocking sunlight from reaching the surface of the planet for a period of several years, thereby destroying the food supply and causing mass extinctions. This mechanism is thought to be responsible for the extinction of dinosaurs on planet Earth which, interestingly, opened the way for the human beings. We now know that, even at extremely high velocities, one in ten million microbes can survive such collisions.

We've seen extremophiles on planet Earth: microbes that can survive and thrive in extreme environments such as boiling water and the frozen tundra. So we know that microbes are capable of thriving under environmental conditions that we once thought could never support life. Mars, it seems, is far more hospitable than some of these extreme environments on Earth, and if we're finding microbes in such environments on planet Earth, there is a very real possibility that they may be found on Mars.

For this reason, I have harbored the suspicion that what passes for the mainstream environmental movement has been, for the most part, unfortunately, preaching to the left while the rest of America is wondering what planet these eco-hypocrites are from. Just be real. I know the heartland. I like the heartland, always have. A friend shared with me an ancient Chinese proverb: "In an age of deceit, the truth is revolutionary." I had to fly to Washington, D.C., on business. It was October 2005. The weather was still good, and when I got there I took the subway out to the Pentagon.

Six Degrees: Our Future on a Hotter Planet Mark Lynas See book keywords and concepts

With the Arctic ice cap no longer acting as a giant solar mirror, the planet can absorb even more energy from the Sun, raising temperatures more rapidly across the rest of the globe. Climate modelling groups are struggling to understand the implications of this likely transformation, particularly as events in the real world have proven their past projections to be too conservative (rather than too alarmist, as some contrarians of course suggested at the time).

All is congruent with the notion that the planet is warming up. I think the most frightening piece of evidence is the carbon dioxide levels in the layers of ice in Antarctica. Every layer of snow contains bubbles of atmosphere trapped within which provide a nice record of carbon dioxide levels through the ages. The frightening thing is you get some jiggling of C02 levels going up and down that correspond to the ice ages and warm periods. But you see the C02 rising in the nineteenth century, and then it just leaps straight off the page in the twentieth century.

I mentioned earlier that the crossing of the Arctic 'tipping point' (particularly the loss of the 'solar mirror' of sea ice) may drive the planet into higher levels of warming whatever we do now. Experts are not agreed on this, however. One academic analyst has calculated that there is only a 7 per cent chance that we already have crossed the two-degree line. This is already a worryingly high figure: I would personally not set foot on a ship that had a 7 per cent chance of sinking in mid-ocean, for example.

It turns out that the Queensland Wet Tropics rainforest is one of the most sensitive areas on the planet to climate change. Just one degree of warming will have devastating impacts on species diversity and habitats. The reason lies in the unusual topography of the Wet Tropics area. Unlike the Amazon forest, which covers a huge, flat basin until it rises into the eastern slopes of the Andes, the Queensland rainforest comprises hilly terrain - starting from the white sands fringing the ocean to heights of 1,500 metres or more in places.

In other words, the Hadley Centre's team had discovered that carbon cycle positive feedbacks could tip the planet into a runaway global warming spiral by the middle of this century, much earlier than anyone had so far suggested. By 2100 global warming in the Hadley model rose from 4°C to 5.5°C, perilously close to the IPCC's worst-case scenario. That is why my scribbled notes expressed such shock and dismay when I first read the paper back in 2000. Politicians may not have stirred, but other scientists did sit up and listen.

Our nation's moral health will be stronger, too. A planet that is healthy for animals is healthy for all of us. Our future depends on their future and making sure that vulnerable species like wild salmon, frogs, and polar bears survive. Let's be kind to animals. Let's be kind to ourselves.

The most comprehensive-ever survey of the planet's health, the UN Millennium Ecosystem Assessment, brought together 1,360 experts from 95 countries, who concluded that a full two-thirds of the ecosystems humans depend on are currently being degraded or used unsustainably. It is also clear from many different broad-based studies that nature is already being affected by global warming. One looked at 100 species across the globe and found an average move of 6 kilometres towards the poles (and 6 metres up mountains) per decade. Some butterflies have already moved their ranges by 200 kilometres.

Really, the ways we can stop being toxic in life, as a nation, individuals, consumers, and as inhabitants of planet Earth are as myriad as our relationships and consciousness itself. I went away from my environmental roots for a long time. I saw myself as a hard-nosed businessman, nursing martinis and bulging stomach, along with all my other corporate friends, most of whom were Republicans. Or maybe I just treated people and the Earth as dismissively as any corporate guy would. The corporation fed me, and I fed my woman, and I was a pretty basic guy.

Even worse, this calamity is overtaking a planet whose natural defence mechanisms have already been severely damaged by human activity. In their natural state, ecosystems play a vital role in regulating the climate, thereby keeping the Earth habitable for life. Plankton, for example, release gases which help to promote cloud formation, whilst Amazonian rainforest trees generate their own thunderstorms by recycling water across vast distances.

And that could potentially pose a serious threat to human life on planet Earth (although I think the real risk of that is very small). Yet there is a lot at stake -- the health of all of humanity -- and so it makes sense to take precautions. The greater concern in all of this is that we would contaminate Mars with microbes from Earth. In the ongoing search for life on Mars, we are seeing increasing evidence of past life on Mars.

Culpeper writes: "It is essential to find out what planet caused the disease and then by what planet the affected part of the body is governed." A remedy of a contrary nature is applied: for instance, if a disease is caused by Venus, herbs under Mars are used; if under the Sun, herbs under Saturn. In some instances a planet cures by acting in sympathy, each planet curing its own disease; i.e. Venus and diseases of the reproductive system. It is an ancient herbal practise for herbs to be gathered when the ruling planet is in the ascendancy.

I think not: This idea could have only come from clinically insane corporate leaders who have completely lost touch with the planet they live on. They did it because planting your own seed does not create the dependence on big corporations that are trying to rule this world. Self-replicating seeds which have been saved year after year, generation after generation, throughout every culture on our planet, offer sustainability, freedom and independence.

In U.S., science is distorted to promote political and corporate agendas Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

It's interesting that science always seems to reflect the interests of corporations here in the United States, and rarely the interests of the People, the planet or the future of human civilization. Consider NASA How good is science in the United States? Let's take a look at one of the most prestigious scientific organizations, the National Aeronautics Space Administration, better known as NASA. NASA's science is so bad that the organization spent $300 million to launch -- and crash -- a satellite into planet Mars.
