Many
physicists point out that physics was the first “discipline” of what we now
call modern science and modern science suggests “we are much more connected to
the earth than our culture has been telling us” (Pg. 237). You can use the
quote to suggest that we are in fact the crucial ones. We are more connected to
the earth from a physical standpoint rather than a mental standpoint.
Physically we are one with the earth; we can only grow as fast as the earth
allows us to grow which is similar to the earth supporting the human
population. The media brainwashes us into thinking Global Warming is the only
problem the human species is facing. When in reality our daily lives influence
the longevity of the earth. “As the world consumes ever more fossil fuel
energy, greenhouse gas concentrations will continue to rise and Earth's average
temperature will rise with them”(11th hour) For most places, global
warming will result in more hot days and fewer cool days, with the greatest
warming happening over land. Longer, more intense heat waves will happen more
often. While tropical regions and generally dry places will probably receive
less rain increases in rainfall will come in the form of bigger, wetter storms,
rather than in the form of more rainy days. In between those larger storms will
be longer periods of light or no rain, so the frequency and severity of drought
will increase.
