I sure hope we do. But I sure see were, you are coming from.
When you combine all of the following things, it does not look good. (And we don't have good plans, to stop any of these things.)
We are over populating this planet, and if everyone on Earth lived like Americans, we would need like 7? more planets, to provide everyone's resources.
And China's 1 billion plus people, are starting to live like Americans.
We are depleting the oceans fish stocks, (and I heard on PBS the other day, that when these stocks fall, they can get stuck that way.)
We are running out of fresh water reserves, that water Americas "bread basket."
Global warming temperature changes, will most likely cause sea levels to rise, and flood homes and crop fields.
Global warming temperature changes, could cause crop plants to no longer grow, were they do now.
Global warming could cause deep ocean currents to stop, and flip this planet upside down.
We are over prescribing antibiotics, and making germs that cant be killed.
We are destroying the rain forests, (and they remove carbon and stop global warming.)
We are letting out chemicals into our ecosystems, that cause birth defects and cancer.
ex. ex. ex.
But at the same time, new solar power systems, could start providing large amounts, of cheap and clean energy. And new technology like (indoor hydroponics and new fish farming) could fix many of the above problems. And scientists are even making machines, that remove carbon from the air.
It seems that the governments, of America and some European countries, are suffering from deficits and debt. And they no longer have the money to pay for social programs. I just hope that (if) and when, many people are no longer taken care of by their governments, these people will form some new government, that actually cares about its people.
Here in America there is a political spirit going around that says, "its o.k. if 40,000 Americans die each year, from not having health insurance" and "its not the governments responsibility to feed hungry children." If this spirit spreads, no one will care about any one. And this philosophy of not caring about people, it just cant help our present problems.
But I have noticed that many scientists, are starting to speak about, the above list of problems (AND I HOPE THEY DON'T STOP.)
Will we fix these problems? I personally think that with (LUCK) we can get past these problems. But I personally think, that (GOOD LUCK), will have to come into play.
Take care of yourself,
Chad.
