Are We Too Late To Save The Environment?

Or rather we're doing too much destruction. With over 7 billion people on earth these days everyone just wants to be fed, clothed and housed but to do that all those big conglomerates that want to suck the $$ out of your pocket need to destroy more forests and deserts and build more houses and cities, yep, that would cause early global warming ..... but don't fear, Mother Nature always finds a way to get even.

We have no way of knowing whether some of the problem is a natural occurrence, but we are certainly responsible for much of it. I cannot see any way in which we can undo all the damage that has been done, but we can certainly stop polluting and avoid compounding the problem further. Unfortunately everyone makes the right sounds and speeches then carries on as usual.

I believe it's better late than never. As long as we do what we can in our own small way it should help. Makes us sleep better knowing we're doing what we can.

I want to say on this post the question mark. It looks really sad.

Probably - we are most definitely the Messy Generation

For the climate refugees whose island villages are already slipping into the sea, this is not a theoretical discussion. I was just reading about the difficulty of moving these families off-island. Imagine seeing the waves come higher every year and finally having to abandon your home, along with a community that has been in the same location for generations! Many are calling for the fossil fuel industry to be responsible for the costs of relocation, but of course they are refusing. We humans have fouled our nest. There are some promising technologies to begin to clean up our mess, but even today, there are vast systems of disinformation paid for by fossil fuel corporations, that allow politicians to plead ignorance and thus do nothing. It is up to each of us, but I think you're right, our grand-kids will most likely live in a much harsher volatile world. What if we all got together to really tackle this problem? Something like the US push for the first moon landing, or the allied efforts during WW2? Perhaps the upcoming Paris talks will accomplish something.

Oh, we've sorta seen it, just watch some of those syfy movies that show people living in bubbles because the earth has become poisonous, those are far closer to the real event if we can survive.

The way things are going on with the environment I think it is a bit too late. We just have to wait for the life to turn up and make more mess. for example more tsunamis lately. and also some climate changes. and people wasting more plastic on the road and turning the rivers more bad.

I don't think so, I think some things might be at risk, but that the world has it's own autocorrects, things get too out of wack and we'll see some major event and shifts to correct the imbalance

the worlds been evolvin' 'n changin' since the beginnin' 'f time. alaska, many centuries 'go was tropical, where i live was once a vast swamp lands. i do believe that humans actions 've accelerated the process tenfold.
