Energy begets population growth. Whether thats the fungal growth on a dead tree, the ant colony that's found it's way in to the cookie jar in your kitchen, the algae bloom thriving on a mineral imbalance (manmade or otherwise) Or our accelerating use of tools to advance ourselves. Nature has provided the most advanced species on the planet with easy access to bountiful energy. I, for one, believe our impending predicament is a forgone conclusion. The underlying driver of climate change is the byproduct of our natural population growth, which in turn is a factor of evolution. We're in the start/middle of the Holocene extinction event. It's a perfectly natural consequence of life on earth. Is it a problem, no more than the inevitability of our own individual mortality. It's the circle of life. With all that nihilism aside. I choose to lead a simple lifestyle and work at an organisation whose focus is developing the advanced tools used to; get us off this planet, design ev's, simulate climate models, educate our future engineers.
