Planet of the Humans

When watching the documentary "Planet of the Humans" we got an insight into how much of a scam renewable energy sources are. The companies that claim they are helping the environment are relying on fossil fuels to produce their products. They are so heavily funded and yet they wasted all of that money on companies that pollute our planet more and more as the days go by. 

It's sad how there isn't any hope or way we can stop this situation. It's already bad as it is. Scientists have been warning us since 1958 about how global warming would affect the polar ice caps which would in turn sink a huge portion of the South. States like Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas, etc would be submerged underwater sometime in the future. 

A thing I found notably interesting was when the documentary showed how politics plays a part in the way we view the current state of the Earth. Conservatives believe that we will eventually find a never-ending supply of oil which would cause us to live for longer periods. Liberals believe that by relying on renewable energy, it can somewhat slow down the effects of constant pollution caused by humans which would in turn lead to humans living longer on Earth. Both sides are wrong. There is no stopping these human-caused changes. We're in too deep. It's sad because as stated earlier, scientists have been saying this for centuries and yet no high-ranking politician has done anything to try and stop these human-caused changes. 

I sound so pessimistic writing this blog post but I just don't know if there is any hope for this world. I'd like to think that I'd have lived a long life before the Earth is at its limit but who knows. It could happen before I pass, who knows. It's sad to see that the younger generation is gonna face the consequences of past and present actions. I applaud the people who are trying to make an effort by protesting and bringing awareness to issues like fracking, biomass, etc because even though there is;t much that'll be done, they are showing people how these issues are causing our Earth to get worse and worse as time goes by. It's all crazy and sad stuff to see especially when scientists, who are writing about global warming go out of their way and protest as well to shed light on the issue at hand.
