on watching that film i must say i am quite disturbed by it, we really are on the road to hell at the moment. Do you think we can turn it around? Do we still have time? what about the legacy we are leaving for our children!
What about the more important issues like overfishing? Recent studies show that the oceans will be pretty much empty by as little as 50 years if the current trend continues. If the sealife dies, then the whole food chain will collapse which will cause mass extinction of all life on earth.
The global warming trend is highly exaggerated by the news media, because such stories sell. There is indeed a warming trend, but it is also a fact that the earth has been much warmer than this in the past and that we are also currently emerging from a small ice age.
But yes, there is a warming trend and we humans have most likely a role in this trend, but some of it is also due to natural fluctuations of the climate. But collapsed food chain and pollutants going into the food chain and nature is a much bigger treat to the survival of us humans. But this news does sadly not sell so much, since it is not something that the average person notice these days.
Did you by the way know that Greenland was in the past green and ice free? And that they have also found fossils of tropical plants and animals in the arctic Norwegian island called svalbard, which suggest that the climate has been much warmer even here in the very north.
The southern polar cap is actually now experiencing the opposite of here in north and the ice cap has actually been increasing over the last years.
