‘To Save The Deep Ocean’ and the planet, we should reduce population to carrying capacity.
Everytime I read something about ‘mining’ space for our frivolous needs, I think of the first paragraph of Seveneves by Neal Stephenson.
Of course, the Moon isn’t going to shatter because we mine with our puny little implements, but the hubris of mankind’s stupid greed is something that symbolizes destruction and I abhor it with all my heart.
Ok. So we mine space. What about air and water and other non renewable resources that we can never mine for anywhere else.
The population quadrapled from 1900 to 2000. It’s too much and too fast. It’s entirely unsustainable and unbalanced. Global warming and raising sea levels is going to be an ugly reality we will be face in our lifetime. You know what else will go under water..rocket launch sites. Just sayin’..
