The problem of energies is growing

Richard Heinberg is an American journalist and educator who has written extensively on ecological issues, including the problems with Oil.

Take a look at this interview and to the next part of this same interview, and then, tell me,
are we like yeasts? Shall we end up destroying ourselves, exactly as these micro-organisms do?

Is this related to intelligence? Are we on time to act smartly enough? Let's hope so!!!

  1. what a wonderful speech! I loved it! I am totally agree with the fact
    that the human race are autodestroying theirelves slowly. In my
    opinion is a matter of inteligence yes, but also a problem of being
    selfish, insensitive,and super ambicius persons. I pray for this
    situation change one day because, how can we think about having
    childreen in a world like this? Is SAD, very sad... Like Michael

    1. Thanks very much Iria for your comment, I agree that humans have to change their attitude or we will destroy ourselves, and this, I insist, is to the most intelligent behaviour..but there is also a lot of selfishness, because people do not think about the next generations, they think it doesn't matter because they will not be on Earth anyways...this is a problem. Maybe education and raising consciousness on the new generations is a solution, what do you think?
