Do you think that, one day, we'll be able to realize that we're destroying our Earth ?

Question

Scientist suppose that it remains only 50 years for people to live in good conditions on the earth. Then, it we'll be too late. Not enough oxygen, not enough place...

Answer 1

A person's beliefs are defined by their actions. If you have solar panels covering the roof of your house (with deep-cycle batteries for stored power), and run your automobile with distilled alcohol (that you made yourself in a vat), or if you forego such automobiles and electrical power altogether, then that means that you believe that global warming and resource depletion are real problems. If you do not do so, nor are in the process of doing so, and yet say that you believe such things to be problems, then you are a liar. There are many such liars. I am not one of them.

By the way, there are 2 technologies that can prevent automobiles from using ground-extracted oil. Publicizing those technologies helps the world, so I will publicize them now. They are: 1. thermal depolymerization (aka anything-into-oil) technology, which converts any renewable biomass into oil. There is currently only one such factory, which is in Carthage, Missouri. and 2. cellulasic alcohol, which is the technology to use geneticly-modified organisms to produce alcohol from cellulose-containing plants, such as weeds, as opposed to only plants that contain sugar (such as corn), which usually require more fuel to grow than that which they produce.

We don't need governments to solve our environmental problems. History has shown that governments are usually corrupt and ineffectual in solving problems anyway. Environmental damage is an effect of private capitalism, not government. It is therefore the responsibility of private citizens to do their part to directly save the environment, rather than sitting on our lazy butts and blaming everything on government inaction.

Answer 2

I already realize this. People are ignorant and most do not want to scale back their need to take and destroy with no thought of tomorrow, only to meet their satisfaction and greed for today is on their agenda. I live in California and the most fertile soil on Earth is being paved over. I have thought about this and wonder if one day in the far off future the humans who live here will be trying to remove the terrible tar and asphalt and buildings covering the soil that is really so full of life support and abundance. It will be realized when it is destroyed, in the meantime too many people could care less.

Answer 3

Yep, someday (hopefully soon) we will realize that the world is being abused by US. Take the heat wave in the U.S. it shouts GLOBAL WARMING to people who listen, but then a lot of people say there is nothing to worry about. Hopefully people will realize we need to be more careful, and take care of the earth. As for 50 years only...I think it might be more than that.

Answer 4

People will only realize & accept what they WANT to realize & accept. This is a serious phenomenon that most of the earth's population chooses to ignore.
Maybe people will one day realize it...when it's far too late!!!

Answer 5

Well, that would require peace, certain governments yanking their heads our of their butts and the global population to become educated enough to realize the problem and have the means to work together as a whole to fix it.

I don't see that happening any time soon.

Answer 6

we should realize it now, but God will step in to stop man from destroying his earth

Answer 7

Mny of us understand that already. It's a pity none of them are in the US government.

Answer 8

I'm sure we'll push it beyond the point of no return.
