The Breathing Earth Simulation: by David Bleja —

Forget the illustration above, momentarily … … and let me tell you about the Link provided below: * I loved this little simulation … simple … but very informative. Quite mesmerizing too; when you leave it running for a while. See how your own country compares by hovering your pointer over it. The science of it all is, of course, an approximation … but this is all explained if you scroll down the page … so it is an in-exact science simulation; but it illustrates our need of one another superbly well. Essentially, we share the one sod and the one lump of rock; is it not ‘not before time’ we started looking after it? There are a good few Links provided on-site for those of you who may wish to delve deeper. (And, eh, apologies to any rabid [rancid] Capitalists out there, for the illustration above: I’m just mischief-making … it’s as in my nature … as it is in yours to exploit)! * The Breathing Earth Simulation. *

You may not have noticed, but despite our abysmal carbon emissions, on the Breathing Earth Simulation NOTHING HAPPENS in Australia. Nobody dies, nobody is born, we emit nothing. We sit, the great Terra Incognita, doing bugger all. Maybe we are all down at the beach or sleeping off hangovers or watching the footy on the telly.
