I'm sure now everyone will take actions on their own to save the planet, but then again you only live once so why not just enjoy it while you are here and let nature take it's coarse?
I personally am not a believer in this overpopulation theory that we're being bombarded with over and over again.
It's yet another thing that the ones in power brainwash us with, Bill Gates for instance.
If societies weren't revolving around those in power the number of people on the planet wouldn't be an issue at all! It's all because what this relatively small group in power does to keep societies going the way they are that it IS a problem.
What I mean is, the current way of life keeps us in constant stress-mode, whether you feel stressed or not, you are. It's the normal baseline that everyone lives with.
Because there's pressure to make money, to perform, to succeed, to meet society's standards and so on and so forth.
If we would live the way we were meant to live, in harmony and peace and respect, we wouldn't abuse and drain natural resources, nor would many people on the planet be a problem.
Everything always leads back to the ones behind the screens, the ones that hold power and make billions of us being stressed, ill, limited in what we can do and reach, and they also makes billions of ruining the planet.
So this whole 'too many people' thing is total nonsense but unfortunately many buy into it.
Also, the part I quoted... you only live once.. May be, but what about our children? And for many grandchildren?
And apart from that, how about caring about all life, which is a normal natural human ability that also got lost in many due to the stressed societies.
I do not want to be part of killing animals, sealife, plants and so on. I LOVE nature!
I'm not here to just live, ruin and trash things as I go about it, and then leave, not caring about what I left behind.
When I think about the whales, dolphins, turtles, seals etc etc my heart opens and love flows out.
I care. I love.
As for energy, there are plenty of other ways. There are plenty of new ways of wind energy that does not disturb birds or fish. They're working on a new type of solar panels that's more environmentally friendly, sustainable, capable of getting more energy out of the same surface area etc etc. etc.
That's the beauty of people: we are creative. We CAN find other ways!
We don't need what that group in power throws at us: nuclear plants, GM foods, forced vegetarian life-style and so on.
In essence what needs to go is this group. Shut down all nuclear plants, get rid of GM crap AND forced vegetarian chit that is also full of GM soy and so on.
We will get there.
Back to the topic: it was the US' biggest oil disaster. I don't think comparing it to a nuclear disaster is possible. Both have severe consequences. Do not underestimate the after effect of this oil disaster! It takes many years, some things centuries even, to fully restore. And we may lose some species along the way...
I wouldn't say that is less than Tjernobyl. And when mentioning that, no one ever seems to remember Fukushima which is still problematic.
Fukushima had a lot of spill in the oceans and the oceans are the basis of all life on the planet, including human life.
