Destruction of the Earth. Nature's Balance corrupted

[Aar000n3yTheL000n3y]

Most people are just worried about their day to day lives, and don't usually ever consider what supports their lives. From our daily lives we disrupt the Earth's ecosystems, which throws the balance out of wack.

One factor that I've been looking into recently is carbon dioxide levels rising througout the next 100 years (if we don't kill ourselves by then). This also contributes to global warming, resulting in more storms/rain. Rain helps put carbon dioxide into the water, which supports the ecosystems down under. With CO2 levels rising (double the level in 50 yrs, triple in 100 if I remember correctly), more will go into the ocean. Coral slows down its rate of growth by a lot when CO2 levels rise, and algea takes over. Because of fishing going out of control from the population rising, there isn't much to get rid of that algae. The coral will die, fish will die, many things will die.

Another CO2 case is in the forests. Forests quite literally overflow when too much CO2 comes in. It's just it's natural capacity. So now the forests giving off oxygen, stop giving it off basically. When a drought strikes, forests give off CO2 from the rotting plant life, decay all over.


There's more, but by now most of you will have stopped reading this. This combined with many other problems is going to lead to the extinction of the human race. Hopefully we won't take too many more species with us.

Hope you read through it all.

Humans living far beyond planet's means: WWF

This is one of the few things that I am entirely pessimistic about. At the current rate we're raping the planet, every political crisis in progress right now and to occur in the next few decades are going to become inconsequential as the consequences of our actions become too drastic to ignore. The Kyoto Treaty is a step in the right direction, but it is nowhere near enough. Every industrialized country in the world must cut consumption by half (and emissions of all sorts by even more) within the next few years if there's to be any hope of a remotely stable environment capable of supporting us. Is this likely to happen? Not really. It would require a massive paradigm shift across every society in the world, which requires education, which is consistently and systematically blocked by the ruling powers because this paradigm shift would mean they would no longer have control of the thrones they currently occupy.

*is going to shut up for now, else he'll go on and on and on*

Yes, but in my opinion we should take away basically all emissions. We've already ******** it up so much that nature will need help, not just taking down the amount put out.
I'm not familiar with the Kyoto Treaty. Can you explain please?

I never knew CO2 came from so much stuff in nature....  

[Groucho and Karl]

I never knew half of that stuff. I really think you are going somewhere with this. As for the Kyoto Treaty, It should work. What really will kill the human race is All the natural gas and oil wells will dry up in 100 years, and all of the human race will be forced into more primitave ways of cooking, traveling, and that will cause things such as riots and fights over all the wood, for fires. Then all of the world's forests will be comepletley destroyed and we will lose a lot of oxygen and eventually die out from no oxygen.

Humans do not stop things that they are used in to doing. That's why we chose to improve machinery. Maybe if we could adapt sound, light and heat energy simultaneously, that would be great.
