The Tree of life is Dying and the Source of clean water
The film Avatar was loosely based on the Embera indigenous people of Central Panama’s Chagres National Park; Pandora was also named after Panama.
Trees provide life-giving water, accounting for 20% of all the water we drink. They are the planet’s filtration systems, producing pure, clean aerosols that form clouds and eventually rain. Large forests create their own climate, which is why they are called rainforests.
80% of our freshwater comes from the world’s ocean surface
Evaporation from the ocean surface, aerosols of seasalt, and plankton from the SML surface micro-layer all contribute to the nucleation of water vapour and the formation of clouds and rainwater.
The SML is a surface microlayer that ranges in thickness from 0.001 to 1mm and is composed of lipids and surfactants produced by marine plants. The SML covers 100% of the oceans surface , and 71% of the planet, it regulates the rate of water evaporation like a surface skin, and is thus the primary regulator of the climate. The aerosols are made from everything in the SML layer, including floating toxic oil-like lipophilic chemicals absorbed and concentrated thousands of times onto plastic particles and partially combusted carbon from the combustion of fossil fuels.
Every drop of rain produced by the oceans is contaminated by particles containing toxic chemicals and pharmaceuticals. Every litre of water on the planet will contain at least five plastic particles as well as more than five different toxic chemicals and pharmaceuticals. We measured this in the Embera village in the water coming from the tree of life. We also sampled the middle of the Atlantic Ocean and found 1000 particles per litre of water.
Chemicals such as herbicides and pesticides are evenly distributed across the planet’s surface in rainwater. The concentrations have now risen to the point where they are wiping out all insects, stressing plants, and causing the majority of human diseases. Pollution is now the leading cause of death in humans and nature, killing more people than wars and all other human ailments combined.
What are we doing about pollution? Almost nothing; 80 percent of the world has no effluent treatment, and the remaining 20 percent, including high-income countries, do not remove toxic chemicals or plastic from water discharged into rivers and the ocean.
All of this pollution returns to the land in rainwater after a few weeks, months, or years; the solution to pollution is not dilution in the world’s oceans. It cannot be sustained, and we have reached the end of the road, the tree of life is dying and will be dead in 20 years.
