The things humans do...
Humans are naturally evil??
Well... that's what came up. Somewhere around humans are created to be naturally evil, so they (naturally) seek to take advantages of situations where others might suffer. Maybe this is true, we humans are destroying almost everything we can get our hands on: trees, coral reefs, even the environment...
Issues like global warming are more often than not ignored, despite the fact that global warming causes the polar ice shelfs to melt, raising the worlds sea levels with potential to drown out lower lying towns... experts even predict that if large enough amounts of water is to be dumped into the oceans, New York will sink.
"Yeah, yeah... that will happen eventually... but not in MY lifetime..." That's what people always think. Experts even argue that ice-ages happen "all the time". It is just that the time frame is so huge it is incomprehensible to our human minds. Think of it, the world is perhaps 200 million years old?? (I'm not sure though) What is 1 million years to earth?? it is NOTHING, humans have yet to live on earth for a couple thousands of years, why should something that happens every million years or so matter to them?
Earth climate is fragile, and by polluting the planet we merely speed up the inevitable. Some fraction of humanity understands this, but could do nothing when people choose to believe otherwise, and indeed founding is forever a problem to these people when authorities keep focusing on the national economy.
What will happen in the next couple of years or so? who can say? prevention is better than cure... for indeed there IS no cure if earth decides to run its natural course...
