C2 Throwing Rocks-Climate Change

It started with our hominid ancestors 60 million years ago. Listen as we discuss the origins of Climate Change and how humans rose to be the top predator and impact-maker in nature.

The development of agriculture 12,000 years ago changed how humans lived from being hunter-gatherers to becoming industrialized. The leaps in innovations have transformed humanity and the rising impact footprint in the 20th century.

The good news is that our collective impact in the 21st century is still smaller than the Chicxulub Asteroid strike. In the 21st century, all locations across the planet are now impacted. What does a sustainable biosphere look like in the future?

Modern transportation has changed how we travel, get goods, and engage in work/leisure. In its 21st-century state, transportation has a huge negative impact on the biosphere.  Is there a better future for global transportation?

The Development Pattern on the planet is massive in scale today. Land clearing, nature disruption, cities and towns, the size and scope of concrete and building materials. Each month, we build the equivalent of a New York City, combined worldwide. The view from outer space tells the story. What to do with our built environment in the future. 

Modern dams, nuclear and fossil fuels energy have rocketed our technological prowess, comfort, and ability to support a huge population. But we have reached a Climate Change tipping point in humanity's energy use. How can we transform our ENERGY uses and sources NOW? 

With several hundred national governments and hundreds of thousands of local governments, can planet conditions survive ideologies and self-interests? Politics of the world is the Check-Valve for best planet practices. Governments and Individuals need to come together politically for Climate Change.

Leaving nature alone might be the best thing humans could do. Nature’s biosphere was here before us, and if humans are still around in the future, it will continue on. Can we become enlightened enough to let nature thrive without constantly trying to bend it to our will?

More than ever, It’s the heaviest of ‘human-centric’ hands on the animal kingdom. The 6th mass extinction of wild animals and insects, and 70 billion domestic animals factory produced yearly. A better animal philosophy would greatly reduce the Planet's biosphere degradation and Climate Change.

It’s the two-pronged loop attack—an exploding technology and an exploding population. It's the Anthropocene Era (The Age of Man). The population is the ultimate question for Climate and Planet Change. Is there room for collective common sense and science to prevail, or will the population continue to be driven by a thousand and one other beliefs?
