...just suck. The Earth used to look like this: (If you don't care about the Earth, gtfo now)

Then humans came. The Earth now looks like this:

[spoiler][/spoiler]


That's not just satelites, it's also space junk.
How can we let our home, or should I say "our supporter of life", get like this? We only have one of these. It's not our right to live here, it just happened. Just like everything else "just happened".

I'm sure you're asking "why are you posting this?". Simple, I care about the Earth and the future of it and right now, this is the only place that I can get it out that humans need to use this intelligence that we have to actually be smart about this.

People say humans are the cause of global warming. I agree and disagree. This is why:

- Records show that the Earth goes through different stages. Ice age, it melts, the Earth warms up, glaciers melt, then it repeats. This is natural and there is nothing we can do about it. Based on time-lines, we are due for another ice age in about 100,000 years and then the Earth will warm up and all of the ice will melt.

All of that shortened, global warming happens.

- Humans, I think, are speeding up this process with all the production of everything (CO2 emissions).

Now, we are going to kill ourselves. In 1950, the population was just over 2.5 billion people. We hit 7 billion people on October 31, 2011. That's a 280% increase in just 61 years. Scientist's have estimated that the Earth can hold about 9 billion people. If we keep reproducing at this rate, we will hit that mark by approximately 2040. We won't be able to survive with the lack of food and fresh water.

Death is a part of life. That is why I disagree with helping people live longer. Life is based on "survival of the fittest", not on "survival if I can spend the rest of my life on pills". If the Earth wants to kill us off, it can (I don't actually mean the Earth itself. Incase any of you were confused). People seem to think that the Earth is ours. It isn't ours. It was created, by the big bang not what religions believe, and it was a complete accident that life started which is why I accept the fact that one little thing could make the human race extinct.

I'm just going to stop here. I have more the say but It's late so this is enough for now.

I seen this on the news the other day, I knew we had something along the lines of Saturns rings, exept with satelites. But when I seen this I was quite disgusted. I surprisigly have the same view on life aswell. But just like everyone else I am upset when someone I know and held dear dies.

So am I but it's life. I don't believe in giving aid on major things.

I know it's life, but life is precious, you live once and should enjoy it. Everyone has the ability to amount to something that could change the world for better, or worse. Nomatter of you're birth-right you can always change something. Do what you want and live free, for you live a minute in an infinite void of hunger, pain, despair and poverty. But life must end, and will always end.

I see what you're saying but that to me is just something that humans have created.

I can see people taking this the wrong way. Before I say it, I'm just going to say that I am not unhappy, or emo in any way shape or form.

To me, life has no meaning. We are just a freak accident from way back when of elements colliding with eachother and then one day, the perfect combination happened and here we are. I think we are just here to live our lives until our time is up and to adapt to changes to keep the species going.

Why you no understand what I be saying. I had a massive argument with someone over life. I was saying near enough the exact same stuff as you are and he was being all "But we are here for a reason merp derp herp lerp god made us blah blah blah". I think the same, there isn't any point to life. But, we're here, so might aswell make the most outa what we got cos it don't last long.

GLOBAL WARMING IS A MYTH!

Now climate change, thats a different story ;)

I share your views Rardical, I just think 'global warming' is dumb because some places are colder than they used to be, hence, climate change.

Rardical, I have contemplated your stand point long and hard before now, and to this day I still wonder why we are here. I dont believe in a big bang, as I believe the universe is always existent, and never had a beginning, and will never end. (which is a strange concept for humans). I also believe that this earth is unique, so much to the point that it can support beings to walk upon it. But let's slow down, what does life mean to you? If you think it is making the earth better or worse, we should go farther back than that. Life is merely a collaborative effort of cells working together to give senses to matter, these senses are powered by Eco energy we consume, and life, as we know it, is confined within our known senses.

Now don't think this information means I am not religious and I believe we are just here to die. I do believe in another godly power, and I have seen evidence throughout my life to bak up my idea. I just believe (and this may sound a bit out there) that we as humans do not have a sense to communicate or interact with this "being". Or maybe this "sense" could be te act of enlightenment as we know it, were one is able to "awaken". Of course this might not have anything to do with death, just life and paranormality, as I sort of mention earlier I dont believe in souls that are non matter that exit the body upon death.

But how little we know about the universe around us always changes my perspective of things over time, and I am very unsure of the world around me as my view stand today, but the more I think about it, I think the less I understand. So I just try to live life happily, and not worry about answers to such questions.

True, but we should at least try to keep our planet stable for as long as we can to help future generations.

>implying space isn't infinite

Cba to quote but in relation to ciphon, I think the universe is in a loop and that there have been an infinite amount of big bangs/reverse big bangs going on, each time creating a different outcome. Personally, I think humans exist just for the purpose of existing and that we just live/die. I don't think there is a reason for the universe being, all i can say is ALIENS!

I agree with what I read but I dont wanna share an opinion just felt like getting my post count up.

I don't know about you, but I'm happy we have satellites. Even if they clutter up Earth's atmosphere, they serve a vital purpose and they make all of our lives easier.

Also birth rates have been decreasing rapidly as of late, partly because of contraception and abortion and partly because the only reason there was such a massive boost in population in the past 50 years was due to the advancement of medicine and the baby boomers. In other words, that kind of population increase isn't going to happen again unless we get into another world war, which isn't likely to happen anytime soon, and if it does, all the deaths from that will lower the population enough to support a sudden influx of life.

You say it isn't our right to live here. Whose right is it? If you assume that the Earth was created randomly, what purpose then does it serve other then to house life? Why shouldn't we use it to its fullest potential?

And like Pure said, we'll be off this shithole in a few hundred years anyway.

You're just soft.

IMO, no species have the right to live on Earth. It doesn't have a purpose. Things just happened the way they did which created the Earth and every other planet/galaxy. Whatever created all of this was probably not thinking "I want to make the Earth support life". Like I said, it just happened. All of this was an accident. I really don't think the entire universe was planned out.

I don't either. But if it is random and serves no purpose, what's the point of trying to protect it at the cost of progress?
