"Carl Sagan said he thought that the human brain was simply the universe contemplating itself. We are part of the natural order of things. To see ourselves as seperate from nature is wrong to me. We aren't gods, we're just another species. Just so happens we can cure disease and do complex calculations, but we're natural phenomena too. As for our mining and our need to consume power we can get our heads around that soon enough. There's enough energy from the Sun to power a dozen planets. I think part of our problem is we're all raised in a Christian environment and as such we're always at the end of days. Fulfilling the prophecy of the second coming. The end of the world is always tomorrow and It's all our fault." Very good point about us just being another species. Quite often we see nature as being “ours” when in fact nature owns “us”. And the only true universal language that every animal understands is love. The Christian environment I believe was a way of explaining the unexplainable at the time and also keeping people under control and civilised. I mean there is still a massive amount modern science can not explain in the world and some theories even sound shaky at best. Tbh I think although religion has a massive influence to the ways and problems we encounter today, I think an even greater problem is the media and how dishonest they are with the truth. | |||

I do agree we should try rectify the shit we caused and keep causing to this planet cos let’s be honest, if we were still apes, the planet would have been better off in terms of nature. Hey, don’t get me wrong , there have been some amazing humans who created amazing things, like music and art etc etc ..But yeah, I’m quite bitter about what’s happening and how things are going really | |||

"If we’ve had a hand in damaging them, isn’t it only right we try to help it? As for cars, electric is the way to go. Battery technology is getting better and better every year. And on top of that, while a lot of electric powering electric cars is from non renewable energy, it’s more efficient that using combustion fuels, and regenerative breaks are a thing. And don’t forget that not all electric powering cars is from non renewable. As renewable power steps up eventually it’ll power all cars. And anyways, what’s your proposed solution? Just keep burning fossil fuels? Let ecosystems we’ve damaged just die off? " Try not damaging them in the first place? Batteries have a limited shelf life the process of creation makes a huge carbon much larger than the creation and running of normal cars. It is also from renewable sources, but the production of the components (e.g: Dams, turbines) emissions and environmental impact often outweigh what they save in their service time. I don’t really have a solution to the problem. Hydro fuel cells should be looked into more I think as they split water into hydrogen and oxygen and burn them to produce water and energy. | |||

As humans we interfere with nature and environment and everything around us, so if in the future everyone loves to a point where resources are short as this planet cannot sustain us. Do we uproot and do the same to another planet or do we interfere with our own ecosystem? Much like what we do with others? In the way we are living, we are very much like a virus. | |||

I don’t really have a solution to the problem. Hydro fuel cells should be looked into more I think as they split water into hydrogen and oxygen and burn them to produce water and energy. " The real solution is working on battery technology to a point it’s extremely viable Then using Nuclear power. I haven’t looked into hydro fuel cells, but with an already dwindling level of fresh water, and the inherent issues with using salt water, I can imagine it’s a good idea that doesn’t work on a mass scale. | |||

The media moguls and the CEOs. Doesn't absolve humanity of blame, but we have let the lunatics run the asylum. More empathy at the top please. | |||

"Too many apex predators eventually means a shortage of food and resources. " We have proved ourselves to be the ultimate apex predator. And there are too many of us, so we are wiping out ecosystems without regard to how that affects the planet, and ourselves. | |||
