Issues: Climate Change

While an unnatural level and speed of climate change is the critical issue of our time, it has actually been building for thousands of years. We carelessly prepared the current situation with millenia of deforestation and ever-increasing overuse of the oceans resources. Over the last 100 years, we have been pouring carbon into the atmosphere with our combustion engines, creating a hothouse and a greenhouse effect. We have been burdening the earth with our unhealthy choices: deforestation, burning of fossil fuels and the speed and intensity of our atmospheric pollution misuse of fresh water resources, depletion of sealife, pollution of the oceans with mercury and plastic, huge herds and flocks of domestic livestock, destruction of wildlife and of course, our population explosion.
