If it isn't abundantly clear now to most of us critical thinking humans that our planet is an ecosystem unto it's own then we are still in for some hard lessons. With hurricanes, fires, droughts flooding and earthquakes happening with harsher frequencies we humans have to ask ourselves are we part of the problem or part of the solution. I know we cannot stop our planet from it's natural eruptive forces but are we fueling them to greater effects to our own demise? I can only look at the scientific reasoning and logical conclusions those analytics offer, https://www.edf.org/climate/9-ways-we-know-humans-triggered-climate-change.
So given that we humans are part of the problem cannot we then stop our progression toward our own demise and then start on a path of creating solutions that alleviate our harmful contributions to our planet's warnings? Do we have to sit here and keep allowing the greedy forces of industry to remain short sighted about our environment so that they can continue to reap profits? How will they spend their ill gotten gain when our planet has unceremoniously booted us out of existence through natural disaster. Make no mistake about it, we are one supervolcano away from ceasing to exist as a species. The totality of the devastation that our planet can throw at us is beyond anything we can prepare for so it would behoove us to not piss of the lady that keeps our lives in existence.
Our planet will survive any of her tantrums but we won't so if we can stop what we are doing to make her more volatile than she would normally be, then we can save ourselves in the process. We are beholden to our planet and no amount of greedy financial accumulation will be logical if we are no longer an entity. Turning our planet into a gray one instead of the blue and green one we were given will trigger the worst of what our planet can do to us in order to return to her preferred nature. She is alive now and has been since before humans existed, surely she would be better off without us if we cannot find it within us to be better stewards of her care.
