My Concern
[an error occurred while processing this directive]
So why am I concerned? I'm concerned because we're destroying the globe we're living on. Read about at:
- Limits to Growth, The 30-Year Update
- Worldwatch Institute
- United Nations Economic and social development
- United Nations Environment Programme - UNEP
- United Nations World Meteorological Organization - WMO
- United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change - IPCC established by WMO and UNEP
- Global Carbon Project (GCP)
- Global Footprint Network
- The Union of Concerned Scientists
- WRI - World Resources Institute
- WWF - World Wide Fund For Nature
I'm concerned tha the ecosystem the way we know it today will collapse. It's difficult to say what will cause the collapse first.
- Will it be polluted air and global heating?
- Will it be lack of good water?
- Will it be polluted sea and dying fish and lack of food?
- Will it argiculture land turning to desert and lack of food?
- Will it be lack of oil?
It does not really matter since we're eagerly working on making all these things happen at an increasingly rapid speed.
The Global Footprint Network write: "Today, humanity's Ecological Footprint is over 23% larger than what the planet can regenerate. In other words, it now takes more than one year and two months for the Earth to regenerate what we use in a single year".
WWF write: "If everyone in the world lived as people do in Europe, we would need three planets to support us".
It should be pretty clear that this can not just go on without serious consequences.
