Earth can sustain life, but humans try to un-balance Earth's Nature
 The future of Earth lies in our hands

A strong statement - isn't it?

What is the idea behind it?
Severe changes have happened in many countries on Earth. We learned that
air pollution doesn't stop at border lines, that water contamination and not enough healthy drinking water is endangering the Health of over two billion humans!
We learned that everywhere on Earth it becomes more difficult to buy healthy food, to breath in unpolluted air, to get good drinking water, to avoid sickness and to grow old!
Protecting Nature is our task, and members from many countries help us with this task!
Our mission is to protect Humans!
Nature Conservation protects all life on Earth, humans animals and flowers with their beautiful blossoms, food for many insects, balancing Nature on Earth to keep earth beautiful

to keep earth beautiful we need to reduce climate change which causes hurricanes. hurricanes appear because of warm ocean and earth temperatures resulting in strong uplifting winds - international nature conservation is the only solution to our problem with Earth's climate change and global warming environmental facts about earth needed to keep earth beautiful, to reduce global warming. Global warming is causing more floods. weather systems fed by warm oceans and warm land, the air is lifted up, the air temperature gets lower, the air cannot hold the moisture anymore - it rains - nature conservation with erosion control is one possibility to solve the problem of earth climate change
Just in the last 21 months
A Strong earthquake killed many in Europe
A strong earthquake killed many in Japan
A strong earthquake killed many in New Zealand
A huge undersea volcano appeared
A strong earthquake rattled California
A volcano broke out in Guatemala

A strong earthquake destroyed parts of Haiti, a country troubled by man-made deforestation and poverty.
Earth's Nature gets more and more unbalanced. Soil and oceans are being weakened as buffers against global warming. A down ward spiral with long-term implications for the climate system. If the seas and the land are less able to soak up or store greenhouse gases, more of these carbon emissions will enter the atmosphere, holding in even more heat from the sun. Studies show a gradual increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) over the last half-century has accelerated the release of methane and nitrous oxide in the soil. These gases are respectively 25 and 300 times more effective at trapping radiation than CO2, the principal greenhouse gas by volume. This feedback to our changing atmosphere means that nature is not as efficient in slowing global warming as we previously thought. Earlier studies examining how additional CO2 affects the capacity of different soils -- in forests, grasslands, wetlands and agricultural fields -- to either absorb or release these two gases yielded conflicting results. More CO2 increased nitrous oxide in all soils, but soils in rice paddies and wetlands released more methane in particular. The culprits in both cases are microscopic soil organisms that breathe in CO2 and exhale methane. The more carbon dioxide in the air, the more these single-cell greenhouse-gas factories thrive. The carbon credit that is attributed to faster plant growth driven by extra CO2 in the air must be revised, many scientists say. This credit helps to offset the negative impact of greenhouse gases - but the new data suggests it should be written down by a fifth. By overlooking the key role of these two greenhouse gases, previous studies may have overestimated the potential of ecosystems to mitigate the greenhouse effect. There is enough evidence that global warming is eroding the ability of the ocean to soak up CO2. Earth's seas take up roughly one-third of all human carbon emissions, but how this sponge responds to rising CO2 levels is a tough question, mainly because data has been spotty geographically and didn't cover long time periods. In the North Atlantic rising air and water temperatures were slowing the pace at which carbon is absorbed across a large portion of this ocean's subtropical zones. The ocean is taking up less carbon because of the warming caused by the carbon in the atmosphere. Up to now, scientists reasoned that only when carbon content in the ocean rose faster than in the atmosphere could one say that the capacity to take in CO2 had diminished. But the new study shows that the ocean sink can be weakened even without this visible sign. What we are going to see is that the ocean will keep its equilibration the balance between atmospheric and ocean carbon levels] but it doesn't have to take up as much carbon to do it because it's getting warmer at the same time - warmer water cannot hold as much CO2 as colder water. Earth ocean's temperatures are rising, ocean's carbon capacity decreases
The NEW Normal?

As we have informed you for many years:
Melted ice is being moved towards Earth's equator, changing the pressure patterns to Earth's continental plates.
Nature fights back - we need your support to conserve Earth's Nature.

Talking about melting ice:
Two huge icebergs from Antarctica are floating and melting.
Our studies show, that melting icebergs can change the pattern of Earth's currents resulting in totally different weather patterns on Earth.

A good

environmental education

helps to understand the problems Earth is facing,
to deal with coming changes and challenges!
conservation education online: look + see how beautiful earth is. this is the earth south pole - World oceans provide a lot of food for many people, polluted oceans cannot do that, cool water from the south pole has more oxygen, can produce more food for fish. more food for fish leads to more fish equals more sea food for humans - many humans on earth depend on sea food

Let's protect Earth

Look how beautiful our blue planet is

Earth - South pole
World oceans have provided a lot of food!

Earth is beautiful - but Earth is changed by humans!
Earth facts:
Speed orbiting the sun: 66,700 mi per hour = 107,320 km/h
Equatorial circumference: 24,901.45 mi = 40,066.43 km
Polar circumference: 24,855.33 mi = 39,992.22 km
Surface area: 197,000,000 square mi = 510,230,000 sq km
Total land area: 57,900,000 sq mi = 150,100,000 sq km

Water:
97% of the Earth's water is salt water
71% of Earth is covered with oceans

Billions are depending on food out of Earth's oceans.
If we continue to pollute Earth's oceans this food source will become scarce!
Are humans involved in the changing climate?
humans breathe air in, and breathe out carbon dioxide. Bear Springs Blossom Nature Conservation graphic shows the population of Earth changing from 10000 before Christ to the 1800, the beginning of the industrial revolution. The human population history is amazing: Imagine 1 million people breathing in and out, and nowadays 7.2 billion humans taking a breath, using oxygen. Nature conservation facts on Earth environment: Online distance learning Global issue: population growth, more pollution, more drinking water, lower water quality, more energy, water conservation, Earth's spheres unbalanced. Human body contains 70% water, water controls human health. Water we drink, water we shower in, water we cook with, prepare juices, teas, coffee; water affects human health significantly. Water = foundation of the body. If the foundation is of poor quality, strength, longevity will not be achieved. Environmental friendly life style lower air pollution, water contamination, secures healthy food. In the year 1860 600,000 people lived in Texas, in 1935 6 million people called Texas home, in 2012 Texas has over 25.8 million inhabitants, 1990 5.2 billion humans populated Earth. 2012 7.2 billion humans ask for food, water, shelter!
10000 B.C. 1 million humans have lived on Earth
1 million humans are breathing in and out!
1 million humans are in the need of food
1 million humans looking for shelter
1 million humans producing heat

Do the calculation now with Today's numbers:
7.2 billion humans are breathing in and out!
7.2 billion humans are looking for food
7.2 billion humans want to have shelter
7.2 billion humans using and producing energy!

Imagine the two piles of food, water, energy, shelter!
Imagine how many beef cows have lived 2000 years ago
The population of beef cows on Earth today is 2 billion
Cows breath in and out too, cow produce a lot of methane, a very potent greenhouse gas
Imagine how much oxygen 1 million people have used, and how much
carbon dioxide CO2 the Earth population from today with 7.2 BILLION is breathing out
All humans in all countries should adopt these Climate Change solutions to keep earth beautiful all nations on earth have to work together. Only a worldwide grass root organization can push politicians to work together, to reduce greenhouse gases, lower air pollution, water contamination, land pollution To raise humans survival rate citizens of all countries have to work together to keep Earth beautiful!
We believe that better knowledge about Earth makes it easier to save Earth.
Better informed people make better decisions! Nature education is the key to save Earth!
The main point is to make a significant dent in climate change - to lower the CO2 carbon dioxide level, to bring Earth temperatures back to 'normal'.

We defend Earth's oceans by challenging water pollution and wasteful, destructive fishing.

Work with us to secure YOUR and YOUR children's future!
Show that you care: Reduce your electricity use, use renewable energy!
B+S+B is using Renewable Energy for two decades!
We show you how to use Renewable Energy and we explain WHY!
rain forest - Earth's rain forests are endangered - already over two third of rainforests are destroyed, tropical and temperate rainforests balance the climate on Earth
 Earth's rainforests produce huge amounts of oxygen.
Rain-forest plants have the cure for many illnesses.
Rainforests regulate Earth's climate.
If our rainforests are being destroyed billions of living beings will die.
B+S+B works hard to protect all forests on Earth and the animals, plants and people that depend on them.
Earth without rain-forests would change totally!
Earth would not be beautiful anymore! We work hard to create a toxin free future with safer alternatives to hazardous chemicals and campaign for sustainable agriculture.
There is a strong need to protect biodiversity!

Climate change is among the most pervasive threats to the Earth today.
Earth temperature lets ice melt causing ocean levels to raise causing floods that will kill many humans, nature education helps to survive
 A lot of water is bound in ice.
Ice reflects sun light and keeps Earth cooler.
When the ice is melting, sea levels will rise.
When the ice is melting, many living beings on Earth will die.

Informed people can address the root causes of climate change limiting impact and destruction of our planet - Where can we go?

Without action, climate change will cause the extinction of countless species and destroy some of Earth's most precious ecosystems, putting billions of Humans at risk.

Do you know how much water on Earth is drinkable?
Do you know how much oxygen humans need?
Do you know how much CO2 carbon dioxide is stored in Earth's oceans?
Do you know how much oxygen is produced by rain forests?
Do you know why burning fossil fuel changes Earth's climate?

B+S+B provides science based information needed to understand our changing Earth climate!

The more you know the more we can do!
Emissions reductions and increases in the use of energy-efficient technologies are strongly needed.

greenhouse gases explode and the arctic summer gets longer, more arctic ice is melting, changing Earth's climate, causing floods, violent storms
 The graphic shows the total average increase in the length of the Arctic sea ice melt season.
Earlier melt onset, later freezes, and longer total melt season.
The season of continuous melt ends with the first freeze event of the fall.
The icy cap over Earth’s North Pole reaches its summer minimum in September and its winter maximum in late February or early March. Satellite observations since 1979 have shown that amount of ice that survives the summer is getting smaller; declines have been especially dramatic in the past decade.
Recently, scientists from NASA and the National Snow and Ice Data Center described another way Arctic sea ice is changing:
1) The summer melt season is getting significantly longer.

According to this analysis,
2) the average length of the continuous melt season in the Arctic increased by 6.4 days per decade between 1979 and 2007. The length of the melt season varies significantly from year to year, but the long-term trend is clear.
3) The scientists say this pattern is consistent with a climate process known as the ice-albedo feedback. Dark ocean water absorbs more sunlight than bright, reflective ice.
Even a small change in the start of the melt season exposes the ocean to more incoming sunlight, which warms the water, which melts more ice, and so on.
4) The more solar energy the ocean absorbs during the summer, the longer it takes in the fall for the water to cool down enough to freeze.

coral reefs are dying. CO2 acidic ocean water, silt, man made chemicals: nature conservation is the only response to protect humans future, lowering ocean acidification Coral reefs all over Earth are dying
Many different human activities are to blame
1) Oil spill disasters has led to a faster decline.
2) Acidification by Carbon dioxide CO2
3) Mechanical destruction by industrial fishing
4) Sewer and chemicals changing the transparency of water
Coral reefs are a big part of our ocean food source!
Many humans depend on marine food! Earth ocean's coral reefs are essential for life on Earth - Earth corals produced oxygen, to stabilize climate, humans need oceans for food, coral reefs host 50% of sea life. Bear Springs Blossom's international nature conservation ocean protection plan provides information on corals, marine life, protecting earth oceans.

The Arctic Ocean is a busy place in the summer whales migrating, walrus hauling out on the ice. Inupiat natives gathering food to sustain them through the coming harsh winter. Environmental Protection Agency EPA concerning Big Oil's plans to drill for oil and environmental consequences. DOI recently paved the way for drilling to progress in the Arctic's Chukchi Sea, scientific data are missing, a spill could release oil at a rate comparable to the Deepwater Horizon Gulf spill. Government estimates indicate a spill could gush the tundra. The decades-old drilling complex has air quality worse than the entire Washington, DC metro area! Shell applied for air quality permits from the EPA for proposed drilling operations in the Arctic's Chukchi and Beaufort Seas. Shell's team of lobbyists, EPA issued lax permits for the expansion of their drilling operations, giving Shell a pass to pollute in the Arctic. permits unlawful. Gulf spill, Americans rely on the oil. When it comes to the Arctic, if you can't clean up a spill, you can't drill. We're going to need your help to ensure Shell isn't allowed to move forward with its dirty and dangerous plans to drill in America's Arctic Ocean
