is the environment suffering?

Not only is our world already ageing and no longer as healthy as before, but her population is speeding up the ageing process by suffocating it with a perfume called pollution.

The effects do not seem prominent just yet, but it is as real as ever. Just by looking at a simple global temperature chart as above, we can easily realize that what we are doing actually does harm to the already dying earth. Deforestation, land, water, air pollution, global warming, do we still need any evidence that the environment is suffering? Many of us do not think so due to the very fact that they do not feel the impact yet. Only when they experience some major catastrophe do the people of the earth declare it the end of days.

In the long run, perhaps not in the near future, the damage to the environment will slowly build up, and by then, earth will take its revenge on us by no longer protecting us from the elements. There is just so much the earth can hold onto our constant abuse to her, and when it finally snaps, I do not even want to think what would happen to us.

At the sacrifice of the environment to make life better for ourselves, mankind is ultimately destroying himself. Be wise, stop while its still safe to turn back.
