| Global Warming 1/2 (Photo credit: lamazone) |
I can only imagine how we look when you view the Earths
occupants from a distance. Humans may likely be the only species ever to know
they are causing their own extinction and still do nothing to change that
course.
I highly suspect humans are the only ones that will argue
whether there is enough proof of their demise. How much “proof” does one need?
Take global warming (or is it cooling this week?). Perhaps the earth is warming
and perhaps we, the human race, are the cause of it. I am being generous with
the “perhaps” but I am fairly certain that Ducks, Dolphins and the majestic
Platypus have nothing to do with it. It is also possible that this global
warming is a natural cause of events. We really don’t have much more than 100
years of documentation, so for all we know, the normal cycle of the planet is
250 years or so of hot and cold flashes.
With that said, there is certainly sufficient
documentation that the planet is changing. There is also sufficient
documentation that we are using up the planets resources at an expediential
rate. I suspect that alone should be enough to seriously look at our behavior
and make changes…just in case. Alas, it is not.
If there is no other life out there, not only does that make
our plight even more tragic, it would be incredible waste of space.
