A lot of media has already said this, but Humans are just a virus/parasite in this world. We multiply, destroy the resources, kill a lot of other living organisms to extinction, etc. The state of the planet will only get worse unless we change. The only silver lining is we are capable of doing it. We saved the ozone layer.
I agree, parasites indeed, the sooner humans become extinct the sooner the planet can get back to what it should be.
I'm not sure how 8saved8 the ozone layer is, although change is certainly without humankind's ability; what remains to be seen is will it be done in the massive way required, soon enough, to make a difference?
Yep, we did save the ozone layer. It will take a while to heal, and as long as we don't use/introduce things that will hurt it again, it should be ok:
Countries just need to do something similar and put out a global treaty and a global effort to do so.
Stopping commercial fishing will be a good start, but I can't see it happening. Making 50% of the ocean a non-commercial-fishing zone could work, but I can't see it happening.
Let's just say, I can't see it happening.
Time will tell. I wonder if the last human left alive will say, Ah fuck, now I get it, right before dying.
My best bet will be lab grown food. Artificial meat and fish. The meat industry is also a big problem when it comes to air pollution. Once it gets mass produced and very cheap, as long as the taste is similar, it can replace the real thing.
If there's no air to breathe food won't be required.
