Mother earth is dying and who is to be blamed?

Such tragedy. Mother earth is dying, that much is true, but she can be held back from really dying and wiping out every single organism on this earth if man acts now and prevents earth from dying. Of all the species on earth only one can save the world... us.

T.Y for the news.

Please note the difference between a natural happening and a man made one. Mother earth is anything but dying. Man made happenings are usually a lot more devastating then natural ones. Mother nature does not account for sentimental values, we do, that is what makes us human.

Mother nature does not judge, reward or punish, it just is!

Mother nature heartlessly slaughtered the poor mussel murdering starfish by washing them ashore as they were about their dastardly ways.

No, the planet is not dying. But, it is severely wounded. Make no mistake. Whatever damage is being done. There will be repercussions and what the planet will need to do to continue to sustain life and to exist. It will be done. It has gone through to many cycle for there to be any other variable. God willing we evolve enough to be a part of her.

I knew these things would be happening sooner or later. I hope all the oil companies and other ships and other people that made money off of the Earth and her treasures are happy now. Did they get their monies worth yet? I bet not! What will they kill next, we all knew this day would come, the greed of people overwhelmes me and I cannot see what they were thinking about.

So sad...

Starfish are not yet extinct, but we humans are well on the way of wipìng but thousands of species per day....! We were not put on this planet to procreate and proliferate in numbers at the expense of all else. Giant and exceedingly power special interests are to blame. All humanity must see this and react now....!

An odd event of circumstance...
I do indeed hope that the speculative answer to the death of the starfish is due to weather, for although its demisive deed was destruction to the local starfish, at least a storm is only an isolated and limited event and will not be widespread.

Thanks Katie...

We are killing everything off totally.

Sadly, in the San Diego Bay ten years ago I saw a bunch of jelly fish that were on the sand all dead, so this is not a surprise to me at all, it has been happening over a long time...

Super article, SAD, BUT TRUE!!!

Frankly Kimberly, I am so confused at your comment...can you tell me what you actually mean????

I personally think we have done so much damage to our WORLD, and your comment says NOT!!! I am like the three monkeys...need help on your comment, because it makes no sense to me...

Yes, mother nature can be very harsh and cruel. We can discuss whether this particular incident was man-made or just part of the normal process. We can debate it until we are exhausted and turn blue. Yet WE DO KNOW somethings for sure... WE DO KNOW that we must protect our wonderful earth. WE DO KNOW we must slow-down pollution, loss of habitat and population growth. And WE DO KNOW that mankind is affecting our beautiful world.

These poor little guys, this is so sad! The odd circumstances of nothing else being washed ashore with the starfish concerns me a little but if it really was mother nature due to the storm conditions, is there anything that could be done to prevent it from happening during future storms?

Sunday November 8, 2009, 9:52 am
Until we eliminate greed, war, pollution, cutting down forests and breeding like fruit flies, there will be no future. no hope. People are avaricious and don't care how they get their money or at what cost. Millions flock to pay homage to Octo dip and that Kate creature, who are nothing more that a couple of dim-witted women who gave birth to a littler. Yet they are idolized?! I don't get the mind set.
Until humanity as a whole come together to make major changes in every aspect, we are doomed. Not today, not tomorrow, but sliding quickly down the slope of no return.

the starfish are obviously succumbing to man made events and disasters... it is a tradegy to loooooooose so many of these in one go... they are what makes the seas so interestingalong the rocky beaches

Sunday November 8, 2009, 6:29 pm
Unless we have come to our senses that these are indications that we should unite one another and save Mother Earth from further destructions while we still have time. Please save Mother Earth... for in saving her, we are also saving our own selves from upcoming disasters.

Monday November 9, 2009, 2:27 am
This is just one sign of how damaged the earth is due to man. We need to take note and do something about it now!

There calles Seastars, there not fish.

Wednesday November 11, 2009, 7:12 am
Stop polution!!!

Friday November 13, 2009, 2:50 pm
Listen if they are called fish or they are called stars or they are crustaceons what ever in the world would make a difference. It is sad, oh so sad.. Beautiful little creatures of GOD.

If things keep going the way OBAMA wants them to go we'll all be washing up on shore dead. LOU DOBBS ANYONE. . . . . ILLEGALS ANYONE. . . . AMNESTY .YEAH WE ARE ALL GONERS.

This is a natural disaster which has killed 50,000 star fish.What I find remarkable about this is the apparent absence of any other fish or wildlife.what caused this? it needs to be thoroughly investigated to find out what happened.
