The human population has managed to
create a continuous green house gas warming cycle in our atmosphere that is
literally suffocating our Earth. We have currently reached a disastrous level
almost to the point of no return. We chose a fuel system that is very
unhealthy, which has grown to the spending of trillions of dollars for oil, coal
and unsustainable natural gases to be extracted from the Earth. In the article
I read from the NY Times Magazine, Bryan Walsh presents some really interesting
points on the barriers we face ahead in this energy revolution. He notes
“abundance brings its own perils.” However, even though we have the resources,
we also know the grave repercussions of these actions if continue along without
changing. I believe the animal kingdom would rather adapt to the newly made
human construction just like they have done for millions of years than to not
have a home anymore. We cannot argue that building windmills might affect the
migratory patterns of birds as we are constructing new sky scrappers everyday
and using carbon fuel to do so. We have
built cities, roads and national parks all around previously uninhabited lands,
and we drive around in cars polluting our earth to visit all of these wonderful
sites.
