Does the planet really need saving?

[Ultegra134]

When I remember the changes that took place on the planet during the period of mass quarantine when the pandemic spread, I realize that the planet indeed deserves an urgent rescue mission.
All indicators of the scientific community confirm that the health of the planet requires urgent intervention. Unfortunately, there are no practical solutions that are effectively implemented on the ground, despite all the warnings of danger.

Unfortunately, it's true. During Covid-19 quarantine measures, pollution was radically decreased, the air was a lot cleaner and the effects of human isolation were very evident for the environment. However, that was only temporary, since after the measures were drawn, we quickly reverted to our previous state. Human activity is harmful for the environment, period. I strongly believe that future generations, including mine, are pretty much doomed to face the severe side effects of our actions.

Not everyone is getting what is happening to the planet as a result of human activity, as a direct result of global warming. There are waves of extinction for many types of creatures, whether on land or in the sea, and this in itself causes an imbalance in the ecosystem from which it is difficult for nature to recover in a short time.
Capitalism has created consumer societies and globalization has increased the spread of a culture of excessive consumption among all societies, even those that do not have the elements of a good economy have been pushed to exploit all their resources to meet the needs of rich societies. If this system continues over the next two decades, its consequences will be disastrous for all of us.

   We're human who made our earth worsen we're just the one who used it. Nature or Earth need us , same us people who live down there. Nature is horrible that makes revenge, that's why treat them good and with love.

[BADecker]

Except in big cities locally, climate change is a lie. The idea that CO2 is causing global warming is an invention of some people with an agenda to control the world.

CO2 is plant food. As the population of the word grows, we get more CO2 from people, and the CO2 helps plants grow to feed the people.

The whole thing is as simple as that. Besides, the evidence over the last 2 decades is that we are having global cooling. If CO2 were a global heater, we need it to protect from the next ice age.

[BADecker]

One big volcanic eruption, or one solar flare, could easily erase any results of people trying to not pollute... or TO pollute, for that matter.  It's happened in the past. It will happen again.

One of the major things we need to do in life is to stop being fearful. "The sky is falling. The sky is falling." Lol.

[Desmong]

"Save the earth", "Save the Ocean", "Save the forests", "The earth is bleeding" etc are very common phrases we come across in this century. What is funny is that humans aren't even looking at saving themselves (like "Save the humans"  ) except shelling the shit out of ourselves in the name of wars based on egos of our leaders.

From what I see, The earth doesn't give a damn on whether we try to save it or not. We found the Earth here, and we shall probably go extinct at one point and leave it behind, just like the dinosaurs are now a distant history to it. The earth will always heal no matter what.

All this "Save the earth" projects or themes won't make sense if a random asteroid came from nowhere and hit our planet, wiping out everyone. I think our priorities are misplaced. We should be looking at saving each other, avoid pointless wars and survive peacefully.

We might think the earth never give a damn or people are never interested in what is happening to the Earth currently but we should be prepared that we all going to suffer the consequences when it keep coming rapidly. We do not know what we are into now because things looks very easily and the effects have not that tell on us. When that time comes I think we are going to regret why we put ourselves in this big mess.

Sometimes, these changes consequences are a part of the problem of unbelieve in people.
You hear about climate change, earth division and disappearing of species and the best you would hear from it is 10,000 years ago, 56AD, 365BC and shits like that. Truths that the means to verification remains a prediction still. Even the prediction of an amagedon still dates into the future that, we the current generation that are supposedly doing the damage are not going to see.
Hence of what interest or importance will it be to change things that might not affect you!
The whole thing is just confusing and creates its own problems sometimes.
But we really ought to take care of our environment. Its ours!

You're right to an extent, we can save the world by living a peaceful life together with our brothers, neighbors and everyone at large, most problems encountered today were as a result of our individual differences that stirs up conflict amd we should count it a privilege not being struct by a natural epidemic that could cause a massive loss of lives, also we must be conscious of the environment we leave in to make it a better place for a living and the activities we do on it determine the reactions we get from the nature itself either good or bad.

In other words, what you seem to be saying is that the world isn't for itself, right? I mean, the world is a really wonderful thing... the way it all works together, people included or not. But what value is there to having a wonderfully working world?

I mean, doesn't all the value have to do with people's perception of the value of the world? Sure, some of the animals might have a tiny thought for their ability or inability to find food. But isn't it really the people who take deep though on such things?

If there weren't any people, what good is the world? Nobody else cares much about the world at all.

The most ironic thing is that people can't save the world. All they can do is talk about it. And when they talk about it, they base their talk on some things other people told them, even though the other people don't really know what they are talking about.

I wonder who is manipulating the talk, and why?

The earth does need saving as well as the humans living in it. Both needs saving from humans. We are destroying the planet as well as ourselves with our actions. Man has fought disastrous wars from time past; killing the planet with our incessant wars, polluting our land and seas. The earth naturally would heal and replenish its resources over time. But the rate at which man plunders the planet, it cannot naturally heal itself.
The ice caps in the attic are melting at a much faster rate, therefore increasing the sea levels thereby inducing floods. The planet does need saving as well as humans from a common enemy; ourselves.

[BADecker]

The only reason why the earth needs saving is, when we as people make moves to save the earth, it thinks that we are harming it. So, it goes right back top the way it was before we started saving it.

[Theones]

I think we are asking this question very late. We have entered the era of anthropocene. Where the spicies are undergoing depletion and extinction and we are facing mass extinction. Just read the UN report on climate Change, you will know the rest

the planet needs healing and that is the needed on the urgent bases what so ever is the case we all are going to die
Even the queen died - so we all need to realize one thing that nothing in the world is immortal and we need to make this place a better and a secure place.

The problem with this is, the leaders all around the world do not unanimously agree with it or some of them don't really do their jobs when it comes to protecting the planet from all kinds of destruction. especially air pollution and garbages that is thrown into the ocean. I'm glad that in some parts of the world, they are making some major changes and start educating people on how to protect this only planet that we have. Maybe if the governments take a strong campaign against these problems, we might even see changes in the few years to come. But money always prevails especially when those illegal factories pay them well just to throw their wastes into the ocean.

The modern green initiatives don't do much to actually stop climate change so the question to ask is whether people should feel comfortable paying 2x-3x their energy cost in order to reduce carbon emissions by using renewable/cleaner energy sources. And by doing so, making only a fractional impact on global average temperature increases over the next 100 years. Most people wouldn't even pay 1.1x their current energy costs even if it made a more sizeable impact than what the projections show. Russia, India, China, don't have any intentions on reducing their emissions any time soon.

The green energy hippies would rather have you freeze to death in the winter than emit carbon pollution.

Ofcourse the world needs healing
WE need to take care of the land and water and take care of the carbon footprints too. But people are getting very selfish and they have no time and energy to think about it.

[BADecker]

^^^ It's good that you feel this way. We all should be a bit more conservative. Maybe we should join the Republican Party. Regarding the Earth, it can take care of itself.

Earth doesn't need to be saved.

please understand, do not continue to make tantrums that will boomerang for human existence itself.
Realize that the earth doesn't need us, we need it. the earth will continue to exist no matter what will happen, the concept of "go green" "save the earth" is not to save the earth, but to save us "humans".
whether there are trees on earth or no trees, whether the earth is on fire, flooded, covered by ice, hit by a large meteor, or covered in drowning by sea water, the earth will still exist, rotating in peace in the solar system.

it is humans who will become extinct quickly if the earth is like I said before. hence, humans created the concept of "save the earth".
when the truth is "save humans by maintaining the state of the earth as it is today".
because we, humans, will not be able to live if the earth changes above 80C temperature, we cannot live under water, we will not be able to live without food sources in the form of plants or animals when they also die due to ecosystem damage here and there.  We are the ones who have an interest in survival, not the earth. human presence means nothing to this planet.  long before humans existed, the earth was fine.

COVID and the wars and the natural catastrophes has changed the overall face of the world
And the world needs healing and there is a lot we need to do to save the planet.

if we don't save the planet, our are we going to survive?
The planet Earth needs to be clean and if we don't try our best to ensure that we put certain things in other then we might end up making the worse decision.
We need to join hands together and make sure that we don't make a big mistakes that would make our generation to regret our actions.

We can't save the planet. Why not? Because we can't even save ourselves.

The planet has millions of cubic miles. But we are so tiny that you could easily fit all the volume of all people into 2 cubic miles. We are nothing.

However, we exist. That means that the One Who made the planet, also made us. We need to look to Him to find salvation for ourselves. He will take care of the planet.

The only good thing about making the planet green is that we are saving the world and saving our health too
I am very impressed from the people were making small gardening groups and making small investment
