  • It’s a great show, I’ve seen it. The problem is the rate of ocean acidification is unprecedented at this speed in our geological history, and that our current level hasn’t been hit in 300 million years, and we’re still trucking. This could create an irreversible change.

    The other thing to factor in is this will be it for intelligent life. We won’t get another chance at a species progressing the way we did because much of the world’s easily accessible oil has been used up.



  • It can’t be solved on an individual level, but that’s exactly where it has to start. Any movement begins with one person convincing another, who convinces another, and so on until it weaves its way through the zeitgeist. Nothing will ever be accomplished if we just say “nuh uh, it’s the companies and the government’s fault!” Once a critical mass is reached, the corporations and governments will have to bow to the people’s will or face a revolution. It’s the only way it works, and it’s the only way it has ever worked.

    Nuclear power is opposed because people are afraid of it. People are not logical and they’re definitely not smart, so when they think of a nuclear reactor, they imagine an atomic bomb blowing up over and over while it powers a generator, like a more powerful combustion engine.
