Abstract

Earth's biodiversity levels are unique. We are the only place that has life. Human's habits after the Industrial age have changed Earth a non sustainable state. The CO2 levels in our atmosphere have raised far above our highest point in the past 600,000 years, changing the temperature of the planet along with it. The oceans are filling with CO2, and warming up, changing the cycle of life. Coral and algae are dying, forcing many fish to struggle to survive. The shortage of fish is creating a shortage of predators and food for humans to eat, forcing us to create conditions that allow them to grow. The problem is our industry is part of the problem, not the solution. Humans are trying to recreate nature artificially, but so far we are having no luck in doing so. The only way we can fix the problem now is to go cold turkey on our oil fueled ways and convert to alternate nature fueled energies such as nuclear, wind, hydroelectric, and solar. Without these, our future doesn't look positive.
