The experts said our earth is at 11th hour. Why is it so? Why they made such claim? Is it proven? It’s another global warming documentary. This time it was hosted by Leonardo DiCaprio. Little wonder since when he involved in environmental issues.
The documentary by far is a compilation of interview sessions with some experts in their field. Some are authors and some are leaders of green movement.
Global warming takes effect after the industrial evolution. Mother nature with its own capacity could only enough to sustain a billion human population in the past century. With the advancement of technology and the access of clean food and water, life expectancy increased. Hence human population doubled significantly since the past century, hitting 6 billions nowadays. With the sole purpose of continuous sustaining and a little bit of greed here and there, human exploit oil as the fundamental source of life. Our lives are very much dependent on oil. With oil, we get energy. Then everything is possible. This is quite pathetic as oil reserve will be running out soon. With oil, we also create the biggest pollution contribution. We release more CO2 these days compared to the days before the industrial evolution. One said we need to examine who is sick and need attention. It is the human, not the earth. Earth has been around since the creation and it went thru lots of events and cycles. Dinosaurs once ruled the earth but they extinct. Human race can face the same fate too if we are not careful. So what should we do now to make a different?
One suggested we should go back to the source - the sun. Long ago, the sun was the source of life and it is still today. It gives light to the plants for photosynthesis. Creations feed on plants. And they die and the nutrient goes back to the earth. It takes a million years for it to be composed into the source of energy today – oil. So we need to support sustainable and renewable energy, namely solar and wind energy. That is just a part of the solutions.
