Anyone with an essence of common sense will have realised that man has introduced a myriad of issues to our environment. Sadly, we still have a bunch of people who stubbornly refuse to believe that man is damaging his (and other species) environment.
Worse, even though some governments are recognising the issues, none are doing anything about it.
1) The US is doing bugger all, and everyone waits for the US to do things first...
2) changing the way we live in this world means, unfortunately, massive problems with global economies. Countries like the US would rather keep polluting the world in order to make a buck. This is hopefully changing with President Obama. Call me a pessimist, but don't hold your breath.
The real crux of this issue is that we simply have far too many humans on this planet to support. The problem is created by over breeding, tampering with longevity, tampering with diseases that are designed by nature to cull the population.
As Agent Smith said in the Matrix, humans are like viruses - we take without thought. I might sound anti social when I say it, but in reality, and that's what I'm dealing with, it's the truth. Most humans are so enamoured of the current system that they will adamantly refuse to acknowledge any responsibility for our population numbers. And herein lies the problem. Our brains are too large for our own good.
