Somehow we've managed to convince ourselves that we are above nature, that we don't need it, that we can control it. But the truth is, we are a part of it, and very much dependent upon its well being. For all of our intelligence, we are disastrously short-sighted.

Good video

I'm amazed how humans think that we are THE most important thing in the planet and that Nature comes last when in fact if we don't do something to take care of our one and only planet, we are contribuiting to our own destruction.

fantastic

research before you start making wild remarks. Scientific findings are not to be taken lightly and each study, and it's findings, should grip us, shake us awake, and get us to pay attention. It's about being proactive before we are forced to be reactive, because the latter of the two will not be pretty whatsoever. It is common sense; each species is dependent upon another species, if one goes, the other is effected dramatically. Now if a large amount die off, what happens to that ecosystem?

@justinwlaurab (contd) affect weather? carbon. Methane. Auto and industry puts out about 20 BILLION tons of carbon a year.. ALL volcanic activity emits about 200 Million tons of carbon/yr. There is a balance. You tip that balance and there will be consequences--as evident in the history of the earth

Your existence is puny. How is it at all significant? lol

If you want sources, see videos on my channel.. or do research.. Your ignorance is not my responsibility
