Masters of self destruction?

The arrogance shown by mankind

Humanity believes wholeheartedly that everything on this planet is ours simply because of our so called intellect, yet we are knowingly driving our species into extinction by overpopulating the planet and by consuming all the Earth’s natural resources. We are making this little blue planet uninhabitable by making the earth, sea and air toxic and unlivable. Humanity has to realise that we do not own the Earth, we are mere custodians and we’re doing a shitty job!

We have driven so many other species into extinction because of our greed, we either kill all the animals directly or we destroy their habitats, either way they are the ones that suffer because of us. This planet has to be thought of as a living organism and it is alive because everything is in perfect balance, we have effectively destroyed that balance and are continuing to frack it up by destroying all the natural beauties and replacing them with malls, parking lots, housing- basically we are consuming the world to death.

Climate Change is a big warning sign from Mother Nature that something is horribly out of balance and it continues to baffle me that there are some very strong people out there that still refuse to believe that it’s happening and that it is our fault. Nations like thus, UK and Australia are the main culprits, and what do they all have in common?? They’re Anglo- Saxon countries that are all victim of Rupert Murdoch media.

Western societies are so obsessed with being combative with everything, just a few examples will illustrate what I mean: " war on terror", "war on drugs", " war on hunger", " war on poverty"- How about instead of declaring war on everything we try to change. This rhetoric comes from the media and the politicians who work hand in hand to create a climate of constant fear and anxiety.

People are all “gun ho” about culling certain animals when they become a nuisance to humanity, what about when people are the nuisance. Now I’m not condoning violence of any kind, all I’m saying is that we should take a good hard look at what our population is doing to the World, at least animals are smart enough not to exhaust their food source and I don’t believe animals are the root cause for all the pollution in the air and water.

What kind of World are we leaving future generations? A World were kids won’t know what a forest used to look like or how it was to breathe real oxygen? Science may come up with some new gadget to replace nature, but how much will it cost? Would it be cost effective to just preserve nature instead of wasting all this money on trying to replicate what nature does for free?
