MAN vs EARTH

Fun fact. Planet Earth is 4.5 billion years old. Mankind? About one hundred and forty thousand years old. Let me put that in perspective. If you condense the Earth's life span into 24 hours, that's one full day, that we have been here on this planet for Drumroll please three seconds. Three seconds, and look what we've done. We have modestly named ourselves homo sapiens meaning wise man, but is man really so wise? smart? Yes And it's good to be smart but not too smart For your own good Yes, we have split the atom. Yes, we build clever machines that navigate the universe in search of new homes But at the same time those atoms we split create a nuclear warfare. In our quest to explore the Galaxy rejects and neglects the home that we have here now so no. That cannot be wisdom Wisdom is different. While intelligence speaks wisdom listens And we willingly covered our ears to mother nature screams and closed our eyes to all of her help wanted signs Wisdom knows that every action has an equal and opposite reaction, so if we were wise we would not be shocked We see storms that are stronger than ever before or more droughts, hurricanes And wildfire than ever before because there's more pollution than ever before. More carbon, more trees cut down than ever before at a record pace we have increased the extinction of animals by 1,000 times the normal rate. What a feat. In the next 10 [to] 100 years Every beloved animal character in every children's book is predicted to go extinct. lions? gone. Rhinos? Gone. Tigers, gorillas Elephants, Polar Bears? Gone, in 3 seconds. species [that] have been here longer than us will be gone because of us in this 3 Seconds and in existence shorter than a vine video we turn the circle of life into our own personal conveyor belt Somebody anybody help we were given so much the only planet in this solar system with life I mean, we are one in a million. No actually scientifically. We are one in a billion Trillion trillion That's a one followed by 33 zeroes, and I don't want to get too spiritual, but how are we [not] a miracle? We are perfectly positioned to the sun so we don't burn but not too distant so we don't turn to ice Goldilocks [said] it best We are just like this paradise where we are [giving] medicine from trees not coincidentally? But because like the song says we are family Literally everything every species is connected genetically from the sunflower to the sunfish And this is what we must recognize before it's too late [because] the real crisis is not global warming Environmental destruction or animal agriculture it is us these problems are symptoms of us by-products of us. our inner reflection. lost of connection that's created this mis-direction We have forgotten that everything contributes to the perfection of mother nature corporations keep us unaware and disconnected But they have underestimated our strength contrary to popular belief Millions are waking up out of their sleep. We sing our home being taken right up under our feet We cannot allow a history to be written by the wicked greedy and loony it is our duty to protect Mother Nature from those who refuse to see her beauty call me crazy, but I believe we should have the right to eat food That's safe with ingredients We can pronounce drink water that is clean marvel at trees breathe air free of toxins these are natural rights Not things that can be bargained for in congress see they want you to feel powerless But it has been said [that] something as small as the flutter of a butterfly's wing can cause the typhoon halfway around the world Well when enough people come together we too will make waves and watch the world into a new era filled with love and connection Freedom for all without oppression, [but] it is up to you Yes You're watching this behind this screen to make the effort Because time is of [the] essence and only together can we make it to the fourth second We can no longer rely on those who have polluted our air water and sea for a solution There will be no ironman coming with a super technological fix to save the world In fact we cannot save the world, but we can recreate the world. We must do something about our trees Trees are so important to this planet destroying them is causing more than 7 billion tons of greenhouse gas emissions [each] year If we don't stop the destruction of the world's forests we will not be able to solve climate change Period for the past year I've been supporting stanford trees a platform that puts the power of change back into the hands of the people They allow you to take responsibility for your carbon footprint and directly protect the threatened Forest Forest communities and wildlife of the world if millions of us support Stanford Trees right now we could actually do something about climate change and Environmental Destruction only through the collective actions of us all will we have a future full of forests Forests that are full of life and a planet that is full of harmony Please join me and go to Stanford trees.org to save a forest and to save our future you we need to protect this world

Why is everyone so pessimistic of our domination over nature and our own nature? Look at history... The Malthusians have ALWAYS been wrong.

We are doing better then ever before... We have the technology to preserve all life forms(DNA/conservation) and create custom life forms.

In 500 years... any destruction today wont matter at all or even be remembered given the pace of technological development. Hell most people don't remember the Malthusian claims of literal mountains of shit from the horses only 100 years ago .
