The Earth's Medicine is More Powerful than Man's

When the Tsunami tore through Indonesia four years ago, devastated environmental scientists predicted it would take ten years for the coral to heal itself. Four years later, the coral has bounced back providing an environmental boom to the life it supports and an economic boom for the region. I am often reminded of man's lack of knowledge of our planet as we hear scientists, politicians, and the occasional actor predict doom and gloom.

In 1988, actor Ted Danson (Sam Malone, Cheers) predicted the oceans would die in ten years and man would soon follow. Twenty years later, we are shown how healthy our oceans are. The coral reef has restored itself in less than half the time that scientists said it would.

Doom and gloom science fills the airwaves and creates the greatest economic impact, but once again we are shown that the Earth's medicine is stronger than the greed (green) medicine--the dollar. I for once would love to read a finding where man made it worse by interfering with the natural cycles of the earth.
