Picture this. A blue planet protected by a thin layer of atmosphere that keeps temperature, air and water in perfect balance to maintain life. |
||
In the cold depth of space, this planet is a virtual paradise, the only one known of its kind. |
||
And it is our planet, Earth. |
||
But something is wrong. The life sustaining system of this planet is breaking down. |
||
What happened? US. |
||
Human civilization and our relentless consumption have brought this planet to the break. |
||
But specifically, our destructive addiction toward a single resource may push us over the edge, and that resource is oil. |
||
Oil is essentially ancient sunlight, since the dawn of time, plants captured sunlight. |
||
After billions of years of decomposing in earth,this fossilized sunlight became a fuel; oil coal or gas. |
||
This ancient sunlight has become modern civilizations battery pack. | ||
The problem is, oil is a finite resource. |
||
We are running out of the very thing that our society is dependant on in order to function. |
||
But worse, our burning of oil and other fossil fuels has dumped over 700 billion tons of carbon pollution into the atmosphere, as if it were a sewer. |
||
We are altering life on this planet, as we know it. How? |
||
The accumulated pollution causes the atmosphere to trap more of the sun's heat. |
The Earth surface temperature is actually going up. | ||
This is what is known as global warming | ||
Warming, that almost sounds inviting. |
||
But in the world 20 years from now, we will be living in a tropical paradise. | ||
With the extent of our problems will be pondering which SPF Sunscreen to use. |
||
But don't be fooled. | ||
Thousands of climate scientists have agreed that Global Warming is not only the most threatening environmental problem, but one of the greatest challenges facing all of humanity. |
||
In 1990's alone had been the warmest decade in the entire millennium. | ||
Temperature has already gone up by 1 degree F in the last century. | ||
Maybe that doesn't sound like a lot, but it is. | ||
It only took 4 small degrees to shift us at last ice age. |
When you turn on the TV, you hear about killer heat waves, extreme weather conditionsFreak storms, drastic flooding of cities, rising sea levels, giant chunks of ice breaking off from the Antarctic, Coral reefs bleaching out, dying. |
||
Make the connection. |
||
It's Global Warming and Climate Change. |
||
In the face of this disaster what is big Corporation and politicians done about it? |
||
Unfortunately not enough. | ||
The fact is, they’ve gained too much money and power off our addiction to oil. | ||
This makes them dangerous resistant to change. |
But are we? | ||
We must demand separation between oil and state. |
||
We can get off oil and slow down Global Warming. | ||
We can use energy more efficiently, and support renewable, clean energy sources, green technology that don't burn carbon, like hydrogen fuel cell, wind and solar power. | ||
We can vote for leaders that care about protecting your health, the air and environment. |
||
We can support non-profits for making a difference. |
||
We can be Environmentalists. | ||
So get educated, stay educated. | ||
So we can think for ourselves and join the fight. |
||
To save this unique blue planet for the future generations. | ||
