We squandered the energy wealth slowly built up over 100 million years (fossil fuels) on
short term wants that are consumed or obsolete or otherwise unusable after a
decade or so and left with what? A planet that is saturated with plastic
micro-pieces (oceans), carbon dioxide and methane (atmosphere) and another
million or so chemical compounds that didn’t exist 200 years ago permeating all
of it. Afterwhich, we, as a species,
will need to deal with that, PLUS how
to feed 8+(?) Billion people from the energy of the sun or other natural energy
flows (e.g., gravity driven water, geothermal).
The Olduvai theory is slowly playing out ... (until it will be far faster than you are prepared for)
Not bad as far as thoughts go...
