The vast majority of the world's rivers are threatened by pollution, pesticide runoff
and destructive species, say researchers from The City College (CCNY) of The City
University of New York (CUNY), the University of Wisconsin and seven other institutions.
And not only is the integrity of the world's water at heightened risk, but so are
countless aquatic species that rely on the threatened habitats for survival.
Published in the journal Nature, the study explains that the threats come from a
multitude of different sources, and that an independent, reactive approach to dealing with
them is not going to work. A more holistic approach is required, say scientists, if the
problems have any chance of ever being remediated.
"We can no longer look at human water security and biodiversity threats
independently," said Dr. Charles Vorosmarty, director of the CUNY Environmental
CrossRoads Initiative and professor of civil engineering at The Grove School of
Engineering at CCNY. "We need to link the two."
One example cited is the fact that while water
reservoirs are largely beneficial to humans because they supply clean water, they
simultaneously alter the biodiversity of aquatic life by changing water migration
patterns. So evaluating these issues and coming up with long-term solutions to benefit
both humans and the environment are necessary, they say.
According to the team, nearly all European water resources are highly threatened by environmental factors, as are
most in the U.S. Central Asia, the Middle East, subcontinent India and eastern China are
also increasingly threatened as they continue to develop.
Both industrialized and developing countries are experiencing the same threats, but the
two handle them differently. Industrialized nations tend to treat the symptoms of the
problem after the fact -- which is very costly -- while developing nations, if they do
anything at all, tend towards protecting the resources in the first place. (10.02.2010,

"To Achieve World
Government it is necessary to remove from the minds of men their individualism,
their loyalty to family traditions and national identification" Brock Chisholm - Director of the World Health Organization
"A society whose citizens refuse to see and investigate the facts, who refuse to
believe that their government and their media will routinely lie to them and fabricate a
reality contrary to verifiable facts, is a society that chooses and deserves the Police
State Dictatorship it's going to
get." Ian Williams Goddard
The fact is that "political correctness" is all about creating uniformity. Individualism is one of the biggest obstacles in the way of the New World Order. They want a public that is predictable and conditioned to do as it's told without asking questions.
