Stunning Photography Of Creatures From Our World

Time will tell how many of these creatures will be able to survive the coming effects of climate change. It is sad that natural selection has taken a backseat to man-made ignorant destruction. We hear a lot about the effects that climate change will have on the people across the world, but let us not forget about all the other creatures that grace this planet. Let just hope it is not already too late for some of these amazing creatures...

Planet In Peril The Conclusion

We take a deeper look into the rain forest in this part of Planet In Peril to see the destruction that is occurring there, very sad story...



I don't think most of us realize just how important the rain forest is to our survival, the time to protect what is left is now... Then they travel back to The States to see how pollution is effecting our kids.



As usual the poor people are getting the shaft... Big money and big oil are very tough competitors, but with the power of the people anything can be accomplished!



In case you missed the other parts of this documentary here they are... part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4 and part 5.

For more information from CNN on this story check out there site here or you can visit my site about climate change Are We Overheating?

"Treat the earth well: it was not given to you by your parents, it was loaned to you by your children. We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children"

Planet In Peril Part 5

This part of the documentary shows us that as the glaciers continue to melt and coral reefs die all around the world islands are starting to disappear. I think it is about time for these people to pack up and call it quits...



Next up the documentary takes us to Lake Chad, which is turning into a desert. BTW Senator James Inhofe is an ass...



This is the part that really pisses me off... How stupid do they really think we are? Senator James Inhofe biggest contributors to his campaign are energy and oil companies. Of course he is going to say that climate change isn't happening, because it is being caused by the oil and gas companies that are lining his pockets! He should be ashamed of himself...



For the conclusion of the documentary just stay tuned to the blog. To start from the beginning check out part 1, part 2, part 3 or part 4.

Planet In Peril Part 4

This is where the documentary takes an even darker turn, this part of Planet In Peril takes us to Greenland where the temperature has risen 8 degrees in just the past 10 years! If Greenland melts completely it would raise see levels by over 20 feet...



In case you missed the story when it broke a few months ago Greenland has actually formed a new island because of the warming that is occurring there... As more and more ice melts it exposes more water which absorbs heat and only makes things heat up faster!



The last clip in this part of Planet in Peril concentrates on Polar Bears and the problems that climate change is causing for these animals... See ice lost has already passed the predictions for 2050 and it only increasing as we speak.



I don't know about you, but this documentary is beginning to really depress me...

If you would like to see the rest of this check out part 1, part 2 or part 3 and stay tuned to the blog for the rest of this indepth documentary on climate change.

Planet In Peril Part 3

View Part 1 Or View Part 2

This next part of the documentary Planet In Peril takes us into China to give us an inside look at the illegal animal trade and how the growing population there is causing even more problems... As the world's population grows like rats things are only going to get worse.



They head deeper into China and take a look at the problems with water that is simply not drinkable nor should it be used to grow crops, but people living in these areas don't have any choice... Good luck with the lawsuit... for some reason I think that might be a tough one to win.



Last up in this post from the series Planet In Peril, they take a look at some of the chemicals that are showing up in children all around the world. A sad path we have been on for way too long...

The Microscopic World!

This documentary is an oldie, but a goodie! The video from The National Geographic takes us into a world that cannot be seen with the human eye. I believe it dates back all the way to the late 1970's so it is really amazing to see what they could come up with way back when...

It is about an hour long though so be prepared!

What We Are Fighting For...

Sure most of us in our everyday lives don't even give a second thought that creatures like this even exist on our earth, but they do... and we share this planet with them. Just because we are on the top of the food chain doesn't mean we have the right to destroy everything underneath us with reckless abandon.

We as a human race need to wake up and smell the smog or our future generations won't be able to enjoy these magnificent creatures...

The Lost City Where Creatures Survive In 200 Degree Heat

Not only can they survive massive heat, but also the crushing pressure of 1000' of sea water!

Could this be the proof that life could in fact exist on other planets? These amazing things have a PH similar to liquid drano... For more info just search for "lost city"



Next it's Python Vs. Cobra, you might be surprised at the outcome... it appears that all that fighting really made that snake work up an appetite!

Thank god for the Discovery Channel...

1000lbs Hog Killed By 11 Year Old Kid!

I can't say that I completely believe this story, but it is a pretty amazing pic! This wild hog is over 9 feet long! An 11 year old shot this 1051lbs beast with a pistol to take this monster down. He said he shot the huge animal eight times with a .50-caliber revolver and chased it for three hours through hilly woods before finishing it off with a point-blank shot. Only Fox News would report on a story like this... my personal opinion is a photoshop job, but what do you think?



Things are a little different in China as you will see in this next clip... why anyone would want to do this to a pig I have no idea, and yes it looks like some animals were harmed in the making of this video... I do have to admit that he does pretty darn good work!



For more from The Human Element check out this amazing super slow motion compilation or this massive eruption!

Why they were attempting this I have no idea, but it really turned out to be amazing. Watch as these golf balls are shot at high speed right through various objects... in super slow motion of course!



A bumble bee flying in super slow motion is actually quite impressive... Nature never fails to amaze me!

This video includes tons of species of plants that I have never even set eyes on before! Amazing what kind of creatures are out there in our world! I wonder where most of these plants are grown...



And finally the grand finale... this video starts out a little slow, but then it really begins to pick up, you know sorta like an cheesy 80's ballad : ) Well not exactly, anyways it is some pretty spectacular shots... I wonder if they have any that eat misquitoes or if we just have to rely on bats for that problem?

The Human Element

The human element... that seems to be what is missing nowadays in a lot of the things that we do... The human element has been replaced by the corporate element or the political element.

We need to take a look around us and realize what the real problems are that we face not as individuals, but as the human race. How can we stand by and watch many of the atrocities happen in third world countries only to turn around and jump on the opportunity to "help" other countries simply because they are rich with oil or other natural resources...
