“We have become great because of the lavish use of our resources. But the time has come to inquire seriously what will happen when our forests are gone, when the coal, the iron, the oil, and the gas are exhausted, when the soils have still further impoverished and washed into the streams, polluting the rivers, denuding the fields and obstructing navigation.”–Theodore Roosevelt
Humans are causing climate to change. The use of fossil fuels which emit carbon into the air is a manmade problem, which we are all paying the price for in loss of land, pollution of the air, land, water, and health. It is also a problem of greed, money and power, as well as the problem that the majority of the citizens in Industrialized nations, who have higher needs to plug-in, do not seem to care about how we are treating Mother Nature, and she is angry. Our children, grandchildren and great grandchildren will be paying the price, as the planet becomes hotter, and less inhabitable. I truly wish I had better news, but quite frankly, unless something is done, and fast, we are screwed.
