People live on earth according to the calculations of only 200 thousand years and all until the 19th century was moving on until humanity found oil and gas. Over the next two centuries, and to be precise over the past 50 years, we have so destroyed the balance of nature that even scary to imagine it.
Actually, recently, humans (homo) are around 2.5 million years old, so fuck yeah!
Over the past 100 years, the population of the planet has increased more than 3 times. Today, 15% of the population consumes 85% of the earth's natural resources.
Woo! America, fuck yeah, bypassing the industrial era in only 100 years! Oh wait, we're "barely" post-industrial era. But still; stone -> iron era took fucking
foreverAgriculture today produces twice as much food than is necessary to feed the entire population of the planet, but the world is still hungry whiter than 2 billion people.
Sounds like a distribution problem. To be fair, certain countries enslave their populations, so it's not like the rest of the world can just distribute food to them.
Trees-the main source of oxygen on the earth give way to cattle farms and farms, and on the cut down and dried-up sites waste grounds are formed.
Actually, most oxygen is created by ocean lifeforms. These lifeforms are in danger due to the increase in acidity in the ocean waters.
Every year more than 13 million hectares of forest disappear from the face of the earth. 60% of grain goes to feed livestock and poultry, which are subsequently slaughtered and go to the shelves in the form of meat, which is not eaten in half of the cases.
Cow farts (and other animal farts) contribute to the problem too! Not as much as other industry, but they do contribute.
Cotton production exceeds the demand of the entire population of the planet and exists through subsidies in developed countries and slave labor with the rest of the world. Most of Africa and Asia work in slave labour to feed themselves and their children.
Yeah, slavery is a problem regardless of capitalism or not.
To grow flowers requires a huge amount of energy, pesticides and fertilizers. 80% of the grown flowers are in the garbage! For what?
Source?
The modern trade world requires drainage of rivers, deforestation and environmental pollution.
Human's had canals for many years. If we needed to, we could pump or push water properly. Honestly, we do need to take a look at our garbage processing systems.
More than 90% of scientific discoveries serve war and trade. Physically, the best minds on the planet are busy destroying nature and it's scary!
That's just false information right there. Rofl.
The modern world of consumption has become a cancer of the planet and according to experts by 2030, due to global warming, the polar cap of Antarctica may completely disappear. It has declined by 40% in the last 40 years alone.
We can totally reverse the effects of this positive feedback loop by doing nothing. /s
Actually, with radical change, we can. But it seems there's too many deniers out there for radical change.
All we have to do is stop drilling the earth and learn how to process solar energy, let's rebuild our planet together. What ways do you see to restore our planet?
So, there's a lot of things we can be doing. Solar energy is a great solution, along with wing, hydro and even nuclear. Energy sources that don't emit climate change gases make sense going forward. Hell, they make sense now (economically), but there's so much push back from society regarding it.
Oil corporations still receive subsidizes for no reason. It's crazy to think that these corporations should be allowed to continue to destroy the world that we know in the name of money.
Individuals simply can't profit for something that we will all suffer in the end equally.
That's how business works; privatize the gains, socialize the losses.
