    “Let children walk with nature, let them see the beautiful blendings and communions of death and life, their joyous inseparable unity, as taught in woods and meadows, plains and mountains and streams of our blessed star, and they will learn that death is stingless indeed, and as beautiful as life, and that the grave has no victory, for it never fights. All is divine harmony.” - John Muir
    I used to hope that the world would see the issues with climate change and deforestation, and correct its ways to preserve our beautiful planet... but after watching the vicious, brutal nature of people under even the slightest pressure, the unquenchable greed of capitalism, and the outright indifference... I now just hope that we render humanity extinct and allow the earth to recover and re-diversify without us.

      @dnw009 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Ah yes empathy of species you don't even know going extinct making you hate your own species so much you want to see it go extinct. The earth is fine. We couldn't harm it unless we make the earth split apart from some kind of massive explosion. Most species that have existed have gone extinct, leaving little if anything behind in the fossel record. You couldn't have met them, won't know anything about them. But they existed just as much as the creatures you now seem so overly concerned about. Humans creating mass species extinction isn't something to be proud about certainly. But our Earth isn't in any danger from us. It will continue to orbit the sun until the day it finally goes dark and that would impact it enough to where life wouldn't ever be able to life on this orb anymore.
      I agree that the lack of care about the world we life on is abhorrent behavior, but I unlike yourself am not so much a nihilist that I would want my own species and all those that I hold dear to go extinct. Simply so life that will exist after us and is existing and coming into existence during our time on Earth could have an easier time thriving on the planet. Nature doesn't care, the species that make others extinct don't care. The only ones capable of understanding it are the ones also responsible for what is happening.
      I think you need to look more at the positives and coöperation that does exist between nations and groups to help combat the problems arising due to our increased global footprint than all the negatives. After all without any power to change it you are just making yourself depressed about something you can't ever change.

      Occasionally species that were thought to be extinct do turn up sometimes still very much alive. This is the exception and not the rule and besides that are there enough species in their population to recover their numbers or did they just get a temporary reprieve. In most cases the threats that caused a species to become to APPEAR to have come extinct are still present and even worse in many cases. Thus the threat on a species that is found extant instead of extinct contiinues will continue to push that animal to full extinction a second time for real!!

Why does he still get so upset about his academic standing? Besides the only hopey thingy left is a rescue from Above! Especially since there are prophecies about exactly what is happening now... For example, 'a star' named Wormwood will 'fall' on the rivers and oceans... Chernobyl means wormwood (Fukushima means Happy Island, or something with tongue-in-cheek) Also 1/3 of sea life is predicted to die, not only in prophecy.

However, if there's no sun, there's no free solar energy either. I'd be willing to wager that the vast majority of views on this video came about due to user intervention & searching this channel. Its definitely how I'm here and I've only just found the posting channel today...I must watch 5 to 10 videos like this one every day.

    If anyone wants an endangered species to research, I urge you to look up the pangolin. They're the world's most trafficked animal and are endangered solely because humans use them for meat and for their scales. They get a fraction of the coverage of other species because people don't really care about them. Pangolins are fascinating creatures that we know little about which is why it's so upsetting that they're not more well known. One day, they'll be gone and we will only have what little we know about them.

    There’s another barely talked about side-effect of our current expanded knowledge and mass enlightenment of our effects on the planet: nihilism. Sadly, so many people are screaming about the world burning down that very few know of the massive number of initiatives and technologies being developed rapidly to begin healing the planet. If you just shrug and are content with letting the world continue to burn under the false belief that there isn’t any hope then you are equally if not more destructive then any other force in our world at bucking the current trends. Sadly this comment section exemplifies this shameful trend. If you actually wanna do something positive then post your unoriginal meme and then actually get off your ass and do something about it because the reality of the situation is our world is only lost when we quit fighting, and there is nothing more shameful and disgusting then that.

      +Pinky7889 What's ironic is this is pretty much exactly how we've manage to cause this problem in the first place. We invented agriculture because at that time we'd maxed out what hunting and gathering could provide.
      The release of Thomas Malthus' idea of population right at the time of the industrial revolution also suggests that Britain needed to industrialize to feed itself. In a hundred years or so we'll probably switch fully to nuclear power and other less messy forms of energy.

Once you crash into that ice berg, you can't repair the hole. The ship is sinking and the band is continuing to play. Getting on the life boats is chaos.

      The good thing is that we're hard at work trying to find an alternate source of energy. No one knows when it will happen, but it will come, and when it does, our lives might not be the same, but we could probably live good lives.
