Nowadays many world population are grave in danger many species lost by pollution, global warming and climate change. One of case that I will talk about is about lost many species of bird because of flood.
According to the BBC news "RSPB says heavy rain has been disastrous for birds" ,The problem from heavy rain lead to the reserve being risk to be flood, so it have no choice but release the water. Large quantities of water cause many of wetland habitats. Therefore many birds died. Nesting grounds of many wading birds were washed away; such as, red shank, lapwing and rare black-tailed god wits.
The disaster of this effect is larger than we could even think. "Literally, we have all our eggs in one basket and we've lost them." The BBC's rural affairs correspondent Jeremy Cooke said. They can do only watch the nests succumb to the rising waters without being able to do anything to prevent it.
In my opinion, it is very miserable for me because I like every kinds of bird very much. I think this flood may be one of effect of “Green House Effect”. Not only some species of bird but also from the past to the future which compound with many species that may be extinct because of changing environment. We should cooperate to heal the world together before human will become one of species that disappear from earth!!

Thank you Peak.
ReplyDeleteAs I was reading, I had a couple of questions:
1. what is RSPB? I have to admit that I have no idea what this is. I guess it's some sort of conservation group. Is this right?
2. do you think that humans can cooperate to "heal the world"? What might be some effective ways to do that?
My last question reminded me of the point that Note made in his blog on Geithner giving economic advice to China: why would, or should, one country listen to another when it will cost them economically, as for example taking many steps to control green-house gas emissions likely would? Is any such solution a good idea?
I'm curious as to what you, and others, think about these sorts of questions.
In fact, I'm glad you brought up this topic because I think it's one which illustrates nicely a lot of bad thinking, where people simply accept some "common knowledge" without reflection and for no good reason. Common knowledge is usually common, but more rarely is it actually knowledge, as I suggested in my blog on the worthlessness and worse of religions as moral guides.
Oh poor birds! Peak, your picture makes me shock.I mean that little bird which died from flooding(or sinking in mud<<I'm not sure).anyway,the point is it happens because of us.even they have wing,It doesn't help them anymore.Human can destroy everything.
ReplyDeletehowever,I'm really glad that you bring this news up.It makes me know some new things :-D I like your title.It clearly describe details of your article but I think you can make it more interest.I like your ending.it's so powerful but, from my opinion, human won't become one of species that disappear from earth as long as we still have something to eat and not try to eat our friend lol.
May I answer Aj.Peter's question to Peak? RSPB stands for The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds. It's a registered charity in England and Wales.
ReplyDeletePeak, those poor birds had the same destiny as many Thai people facing with a big flood water last year. But there were the differences in them. The birds had left their eggs at their homes which could help people to survive in this sad situation and they didn't have any quarrel with each other that to which direction the water should get out of from their areas. On the contrary, Thai people had nothing left, their property had gone with the water. They fighted to protect the flood coming in their residents. In a coming rainny season may make them cry out again if the government still keep quiet, nothing emerged to help them.
Thank you Lek.
DeleteBut whilst I'm happy for people to devote their time and efforts to causes that excite them, I'm not sure why we should care so much about whether a species or two, or a hundred, go extinct.
Why does it matter if some birds die or even if an entire species no longer exists?
And as Rainbow Gaga has discovered in the matter of banning cigarette smoking, when you answer this question, other readers might make logical deductions that follow from your supporting arguments.
This is really big problem to the world. Many countries around the world face this problem especially in undeveloed and developring countries, because these countries have low water system management. When the monsoon season comes ,you will sea heavy flood in Bangladesh, Thailand. So i think the government should take care of water system more.
