Cause and Effect

Question?  i know the earth produces

natural gas.  What is the purpose

of this gas?  Does this gas help the earth

maintain its buoyancy in the atmosphere?

Does releasing its gas from its natural source

upset mother and she lashes out

with earthquakes and other natural

disasters? Think about the number

of floods, ice caps melting on both ends

of the earth.  Earth quakes on the east

coast and in the south, areas that in my

lifetime  i hadn't heard activity

in these regions. 

i heard about global

warning …. i wonder if the earth is actually

sinking …. after all it's over populated,

over developed and greed extracting all

of the natural ….  minerals from the core

of the planet.  i ask you, do i have a reason

to be concerned?
