Humans? What do you think about this?

Question

So I was just thinking ... a lot and realized that humans are _Can't think of word_ . I mean think about it we are constantly changing the world we are living in so that we can adapt and don't care that we are harming the world by doing this. Animals can't adapt to new environments quickly and that is why we have lost so many animals to extinction. We are only supposed to lose ONE species every 100 years but instead we have lost 500 species in less then 400 years. We are never going to get those animals back and it's all because of us humans. ( When I say humans I'm not singling anybody out, One bad apple spoils the rest.) What do you think?

yes, we can stand up for ourselves but we can't take back those 500 some species of animals

Answer 1

using the word 'we' isnt much of a disguise.if you aliens dont like us,then spray us with a giant can of raid from one of your motherships already...

Answer 2

"We are only supposed to lose ONE species every 100 years but instead we have lost 500 species in less then 400 years."


We've lost so many more animals than that. And you know there are more species than just pretty animals? Like plants, insects and fungi which are much more vulnerable to climate change. We lose hundreds of these species every day which contributes to those pretty animals dying out.

Answer 3

It's much worse than that. Last year's report placed the rate at 3 species per HOUR going extinct. That's faster than at the peak of any of the mass extinctions of the past.

Answer 4

we have lost 3000 species in 50 years ,
due to loss of Habitat and now climate changes
that are affecting micro biotic life which results in changes all the way up the food chain .

it is these changes at microscopic levels that have not yet hit the imaginations of most people and which will affect us the most.

Answer 5

Humans have separated themselves greatly from Nature.
We are under the illusion that we are the only significant species. We build huge structures which displace other creatures. We've hunted magnificent animals in order to
play, collect the exotic, example: a tiger's skin and head for a rug to walk on, we have no foresight, it seems, for most, which would make us aware of our own eventual extinction.
With the increase of evolutionary intelligence, we have become, to our great flaw, a species apart, too ignorant, or deliberately, arrogantly stupid to be aware or concerned about the global damage we do, including to ourselves.
We seem to think our intelligence will defy our extinction . . when of course at the disinterested for most, rate we are going, that in itself is another total delusion. In simple conclusion, "Great Woe be to US!"

Answer 6

Well in some ways you are right. Somehow our intellect and understanding as humans have made us ignorant, placing ourselves on top of everything sometimes even above God. But don't forget that even if we have this capacity for destruction and selfishness, we also have the capacity to create and protect. I just do not think that humans are making the best decisions right now. Not all people may think this but I think it all depends on our choices

Answer 7

1. God gave us dominion over the earth
2. Animals will go extinct if we are here or not
3. We will end up wiping ourselfs out, I for one will not miss us
4. I hope that whatever species evolves an intellect next does a better job.

Answer 8

I agree and disagree. I think that sure one bad apple spoils the rest but I also think that people can stand up for what they believe in and those are the people who change the world.

This cooling has already killed hundreds of thousands of people. If it continues and no strong action is taken, it will cause world famine, world chaos and world war, and this could all come about before the year 2000. -- Lowell Ponte "The Cooling", 1976

If present trends continue, the world will be about four degrees colder for the global mean temperature in 1990, but eleven degrees colder by the year 2000...This is about twice what it would take to put us in an ice age. -- Kenneth E.F. Watt on air pollution and global cooling, Earth Day (1970)

What we've got to do in energy conservation is try to ride the global warming issue. Even if the theory of global warming is wrong, to have approached global warming as if it is real means energy conservation, so we will be doing the right thing anyway in terms of economic policy and environmental policy. -- Timothy Wirth, former U.S. Senator (D-Colorado)

If radical environmentalists were to invent a disease to bring human populations back to sanity, it would probably be something like AIDS -- Earth First! Newsletter
