Same here May, although I drive and have earnt a living out of it in the past, I carefully recycle all my waste, but we are now being told that only 50% of plastic is recycled. Sure, we build wind farms and install solar panels so we don't burn fossil fuel anymore, but air traffic almost doubles every year. So we just burn fossil fuel differently now.
I'm not going to sit in a corner holding my head and wondering why the river Euphrates has dried up. There are places in the world that are becoming inhabitable.......As well as some uninhabitable places becoming habitable. Perhaps it's natures way of keeping humans from overpopulation.
So what do you suppose we can do about it Puddle Duck?
The problem as I see it is that people just don't realise how big the world is, and we have minimal effect on it's evolution. Perhaps locally, but certainly not globally. Earthquakes and volcanoes are unfortunately out of our control. The biggest recorded explosion ever recorded was when Krakatoa lost the last few thousand feet of it's summit.
It put so much ash into the atmosphere that days turned into night even in London.....It pumped out more CO2 than man has produced since the beginning of time.....And mother nature sorted it out......Now tell me that we have brought armageddon down on our heads....
