The Survival of the Human Race

If you think about it, it's possible for the human race, using modern technologies, to survive most damages caused by the environment, but only if warned in advance. If people worked together we could survive. One example would be flooding. If the world should completely flood for some reason, and the human race were warned in advance, we could survive. We'd build underground safe houses, artificial islands high up in the sky, we'd stock up on oxygen tanks, build emergency submarines. There are all kinds of solutions.

There is another example. And this one is very much real. Global warming. We could probably survive or put a stop to global warming and it's inevitable affect on the environment. But the human race is to lazy to do so. We view the stopping of this oncoming crisis as work. That view may be a correct one, but it is work that must be done. It's work worth doing. We're currently in the calm before the storm, and during this time shouldn't we be getting ready for such a storm? If you hear that a tornado is coming to your town or city, wouldn't you be making absolutely sure you're safe from it? If that did happen, you'd be going to another place, a safer place, to wait for it to end. Or you would be preparing your house for such a storm.

So why not do that in this case? Why won't the human race prepare for the disaster, rather than do nothing? It all starts with you. You, dear reader, have the power to stop global warming. One raindrop may be thought of as insignificant, but what about a downpour? The human race started this mess, now we need to clean it up. We can stop the disaster, or we can wait for our deaths. It's your choice.
