In the end I think you have to resort to facts?
* humans have caused degradation of the planet and biosphere....just look around.
* humans are at least partially responsible for global warming...which is only part of that degradation.
* part of what needs to be done is to "offset" the ignorance of the "weiny-head" faction that doesn't want to take responsibility and basically wants to dig a deeper hole.
* individuals can do some things...as most on this forum are probably at least attempting to some extent...but overall govt policies (corporate policies) are the major player as far as results.
If you don't believe that global warming is "real"...thanks in part to The Heritage Foundation...then you will be voting to ignore the issue...shaping govt/corporate policies.
At this point you become the problem.
....
Eventually humans will have to reduce their numbers and impact on the planet...or they will be forced to. But how do you suppose this likely to play out?
Just take the recent economic meltdown (ongoing) for your answer.
Reality is that for the most part...nothing will likely be done until the first serious tipping point occurs?
WHY?
Cause humans as a group ARE dumber than yeast.
And that is a
FACT.
And in the end I think you have to resort to facts?
