We at Enterprises TV realize that the planet Earth is a
living, evolving organism, it's not a dead rock that is locked in its final
form. Waterways change constantly. Much of the Earth's crust -- the part we live
on -- is always shifting. But mankind
comes along and builds expensive houses, office complexes or other structures
right up against the water or on otherwise mutable landscapes, and then reacts
with horror when the terrain changes of its own accord. Recently, across the US alone, there have
been massive mudslides, some of which have impacted dwellings and entire
residential neighborhoods. Wildfires
threaten homes and businesses that have been built amid stands of trees that
have been there for centuries or longer.
We've set up major cities right at the water's edge, regardless of the
ebb and flow of the tides and the overall level of the oceans.
Enterprises TV observes that the Earth is changing, but we inhabitants are not.
The Enterprises TV show notes that the aboriginal natives
have been telling our technological civilization for many years that we are
operating out of balance, in conflict with nature. Whenever our towns and cities are damaged by
natural disasters, storms, floods, wildfires or the like, we insist on
rebuilding there on the same spot. There
is a common maxim that is popular these days that defines insanity as doing the
same thing over and over and yet expecting a different result. Instead of arguing about climate change,
shouldn't we be thinking about how we're going to deal with all of this? Assuming things will not change has not
worked very well for us thus far.
