"This is just the beginning" has become history. Soon man himself is going to be fighting for survival again. But that might just be the end of the story. Because this fight for survival might just be the last one that man could ever fight. More talk on war is just a coward's way of running away from the bigger truth. That Earth is definitely going to change in its way it appears, the way it lives exposed to the Sun.
The blue-green-brown-white just a century from now, might look grey-orange-red-black and then everything might just be white-hot...
Nobody is bothered today to look at anything green. The adults today hardly remember that the greens they eat come from the plants and trees they want to cut down for small and selfish land-grabbing addiction they've got.
This temptation of acquiring as much "property" subtracts the hard truths that can smack you in the face when you confront them. Neither man nor man's creations will have the necessity to exist long. Nature will always wipe out that which tries to destroy it. Nature will definitely make it unworthy for man to live on Earth again. I will be happy that Earth will be uninhabitable for man, that man who thinks like he does today.
If there is something I pray for, it is but to see some sense in human beings to ensure that they don't hurt the living beings that have been surviving with mankind for centuries together, and leave this place habitable for millions of generations more.
There is some kind of mutated meme that has been passed on across society that goes like this: "I am not going to live beyond 100 years. I would like to enjoy and exploit everything on Earth before I die. Then who gives a damn about twenty generations down the line. I live for the moment, so I can do and undo anything I like. I will litter this planet with all sorts of shit. Anyway, I am not going to live long to feel the stink. Who cares!"
Life today is but a Rat-race, where the people are the mice and the president is the Pied Piper. Their cheese is in Piper's hands and the cheese comes in different flavors: pay packets of 40-60 thousand per month, holiday packages for your family, one Bentley if you run a little more for Piper, a one-acre plot if you work (25)hours per day for 10 more years for the Piper, pay Piper 10 grand for a 1 grand per month job. Run little mice run! For your cheese is just out of reach. But you don't see the Rat-catcher right behind you. He/She/It is called Nature!
I know one who is a Masters in Organic Chemistry. He threw a non-degradable plastic packet of Lays on the side of the road just a yard away from a small dust-bin. When I questioned his actions, he had prompt justification: I am creating work for the people who sweep the roads in the mornings. Why should they sit without work when there's no garbage on the road.
For all that was worth, I tried to explain, roads have trees on their sides. These trees shed leaves. The wind blows soil everywhere. If these settle on the road it becomes unsuitable for the vehicles to trod on. Hence the morning sweepers. Not for stupid people who litter all around saying they are the creators!
Further more, when recently I met him again, he was off for his PhD to the United States of America. We were talking about Global Warming. According to this same friend of mine, the increase in number and intensity of Hurricanes is good, both for the planet and humans.
what I would say is this doctor of philosophy doesn't really understand geophysics.
Earth is definitely trying to re-balance itself to its old days. But what common man does not see is that Earth does the balancing act with drastic change. By drastic change, I only mean drastic in terms of the "human perspective". I don't see any human is going to survive this changing process to tell stories about it to its grandchildren. Humans are but creatures of Earth. Nothing more.
Its more like "That was the beginning of this end"
