I've seen solid arguements that the Anthrocene started much sooner then the 1950s, but rather with the being of mass farming and civilization as farming has had a massive global effect, its just that since the 50s things have accessolorated.<br /><br /> There are major enviromental challenges, but every new epoch requires adjustments and cause massive changes, this is no surprise.<br /><br /> I feel confedant that the technologies we need to create a more stablized situation.<br /><br /> For all the Chaos and Change humans cause, I believe we're worth it because we have an extremely important function within the organism that is the earth.<br /><br /> Were not just the brains of the earth, the earth had no need for that abstract thought till now, no more importantly were the gonads of the earth, only humanity could possibly terriform a barren world and make it a living world like earth.<br /><br /> Think of a barren planet in a distant solar system like a massive ova and humanity in space ships are likely cosmic sperm that comes and fertilizes it, so that you end up with another earth like world with fish, plants, mammals, reptiles, ampibians, insects,ect...<br /><br /> The only species that could achieve this is humanity, because it requires advanced technology.

We give scant attention to merits, values or pitfalls. Instead we move on, discarding the past and getting it out of our sight in landfills and recycling yards.<br /><br />When you visualize Earth as it is - Spaceship Earth, our one and only biosphere - then it becomes jarringly clear that we've been acting like madmen within our own asylum.<br /><br />Now it seems that a great many of us will have to endure misery and premature die offs. Lovelock believes that, by the end of this century, mankind's population will be reduced to a few hundred million. Astonishing and yet our prime minister travels to Beijing to hype trade as he primes the pump for perpetual growth.<br />The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-90928601787444279702016-08-29T11:44:26.402-07:002016-08-29T11:44:26.402-07:00"...we are playing with fire, a potentially r..."...we are playing with fire, a potentially reckless mode of behaviour which we are likely to come to regret unless we get a grip on the situation.”<br /><br />I think we have passed the point of no return for civilisation in its current form.
