Letter: Humans continue to degrade their environment in various ways

Editor,

Sometimes, what seems harmless is not. Humanity is fueling not only what subdues hopeful possibilities, but also what relentlessly generates adversities. Humankind apparently remains unaware of the wrath it imposes upon itself as result of its frequent skyward obtrusiveness. Yet the full extent of the possible adverse fallout may not be fully recognized.

Three overlapping, possibly highly aggravating skyward paradoxes persist. The first is air traffic, including the exploration of outer space; the second relates to the frequencies associated with wireless technology; and the third involves the pollution of the atmosphere. Each of these disturbances is generating what could become disheartening possibilities for humankind, although the gravity of the situation does seem to be grasped.

Mounting concerns are also associated with persistently extracting vital resources from the planet that are already below a level that could demean current earthly properties. This degrading might impose horrific earthly decay that would further complicate human lives with problematic developments, even quadruple the rate at which natural disasters could manifest. Human-friendly properties could become marginalized; human-life sustaining innate functionalities are at risk of becoming jeopardized.

Sincerely,

Phillip Palmer
