Before the Industrial Revolution in England began sending massive coal pollutants into the air, the pepper moth was WHITE and then adapted it's color to BLACK to survive being eaten easily on a then black tree-the black coal ash that hung on trees in those days of the mid- late 19th century between London and Manchester. Warnings were in the works of Dickens -how the Industrial Revolution dehumanized and traumatized for mere profit... warnings of billionaire Maurice Strong, who personally made billions off the coal and gas boom in the US in the 50s and 60s and then in a lucid moment in 1970 coined the term 'climate change' so common now, and hinted 45 YEARS ago a change THEN was absolutely necessary to save the environment. Despite all this, massive pollutants have filled our atmosphere unheeded-it's profit making protected by poor regulation and deregulation paid politicians. We are now on the brink of environmental collapse and a passive disinterested public...this blog is my attempt to link the disconnect between the human psyche and nature that allowed both the capitalists and their employed masses to create and endure such a toxic relationship for so long...and how easily that could have changed... is it too late? We too are a dark reflection of what we have adapted ourselves to....
