“WHY WON’T WE LISTEN TO THE MERMAIDS?

By Sophia
Watercolor, metallic paint, metallic pen

“OUR OCEANS ARE DYING. . .” the mermaids say. "Why won't the humans listen?"

“Humanity is exacting a terrible toll on the ocean,” Norway’s prime minister Erna Solberg and Palau president Tommy Remengesau Jr. wrote in CNN on Monday. “Global warming, combined with the negative impacts of numerous other human activities, is devastating our ocean, with alarming declines in fish stocks, the death of our reefs, and sea level rise that could displace hundreds of millions of people.”
https://www.climatechangenews.com/2019/09/25/dying-oceans-rising-faster-predicted-un-warns-stark-report/

"The announcement of the certain death of the world coral reef systems including the Great Barrier Reef was greeted with yawns and apathy by the media and the general public. Twenty years is far too long to capture the interests of politicians and with Jennifer Aniston looking to get back together with Brad Pitt, public concern is distracted.

The world mourns for the death of Michael Jackson but scarcely notices the impending death of the Great Barrier Reef and the millions of species that depend upon the reefs for survival.

As the poet Leonard Cohen once wrote, "we are locked into our suffering and our pleasures are the seal.”

As we entertain ourselves, the oceans and the planet are dying.

The prognosis is not good. With 90% of global fisheries wiped out already and with an irreversible coral reef system collapse occurring right now, the situation is dire, nearly hopeless.

But I have faith that we can resurrect the oceans, if only we can stop the destruction and stop it soon.

The cause of this imminent global eco-system collapse is some seven billion human beings sucking the life out of the oceans like lust-deranged vampires.

It is not a question of saying we should be doing all that is possible to save our oceans, but rather that we must do all that is possible or else. We no longer have a choice. Failure to act, failure to reverse the pattern has only one consequence – global eco-system collapse or to put it another way the complete failure of the life support system for space ship Earth.

The world is full of ecological fools who deny ecological reality. The world is full of mindless mobs of morons obsessed with petty trivialities or distracted by fantasies ranging from silly religions to entertainment.

What the world is lacking are ecological engineers and warriors ready and willing to address the threats to our planet and especially to our oceans.

What the great majority of people do not understand is this: unless we stop the degradation of our oceans, marine ecological systems will begin collapsing and when enough of them fail, the oceans will die.

And if the oceans die, then civilization collapses and we all die."

I agree and share your fears Sophia - these fools in charge must think they're going to be immune to the coming disasters whether in 10 or 30 years.
All flora and fauna is going to suffer.
This was meant to be a happy comment - will close with Happy Thanksgiving.

@destruction
I am moved by your puzzles. You make quite a statement with them. Thank you!✨

Coppelia7

Thank you @destruction for your thoughtful comment! 💐Yes, apparently “we” think we “own the place” and can do whatever we want. It’s all interrelated. 😕

Indeed! The situation is hopeless! We are blind, deaf and as it seems indifferent to the harm and pain we cause to the non-human animals and to earth. Our planet is running out of time, yet we are not interest in changing our greedy way of living.
The artwork is very beautiful! Lovely colors. thank you!

Coppelia7
