I believe everyone would agree on at least one point - planet Earth matters! For years, scholars and environmentalists have touted the idea - that the boundaries of life on our planet have been stretched to a breaking point by human activity. From a scientific perspective, the notion of climate change is no longer up for debate. Our species and life as it exists on planet Earth now depends on the choices we humans make. Each individual with a brain possesses the ability to contribute solutions to our common current dilemma, so what's holding us back?

Is it our lack of knowledge; a conflict of interest; the lack of will, and/or other priorities that define the human race? Do we possess the courage to take an initiative, to act upon our convictions and choose to help preserve the Blue planet? Have our environmental problems become too big for individuals to tackle that we must leave it for governments to handle?

Are we limited by our own self-interests, by the confines of our own box or bubble? Have we merely been caught up in our daily mundane existence, distracted by the media and current affairs, that we fail to consider the future? Is Climate Change simply a hoax? Is the human species destined to evolve or are we doomed to extinction?

Here is place to discuss any pertinent thoughts or ideas you may have on the subject. Every thought counts. Please be respectful.

Asteroid 2024 YR4's Earth Impact Probability Rises
Last updated 50 minutes ago
Asteroid 2024 YR4 has seen its probability of colliding with Earth on December 22, 2032, increase to approximately 2.3% from an earlier 1.9%. While the likelihood is still considered low, discussions have intensified regarding the need for asteroid deflection capabilities. The global scientific community is monitoring the asteroid's trajectory closely, with some advocating for immediate action to ensure planetary safety.

What's holding US back? The Trump administration.​


"It is abundantly clear, after only three months and one day, that the new Trump administration is attempting to do everything it possibly can to try to halt the transition to a clean energy future and a deep reduction in the burning of fossil fuels," said Al Gore.

"They say the climate crisis is a hoax invented by the Chinese to destroy American manufacturing," he said. "They say coal is clean. They say wind turbines cause cancer. They say sea-level rise just creates more beachfront property."

He continued, "If you doubt for one moment ever that we as human beings have the capacity to muster sufficient political will to solve this crisis, just remember that political will is itself a renewable resource."

Former Vice President Al Gore on Monday compared President Donald Trump's administration to Nazi Germany and issued a dire warning about Trump’s use of power in a speech devoted to climate change. Gore also invoked Martin Luther King, Jr., and the late Pope Francis in his 25-minute speech, which was largely devoted to exhorting the crowd to continue pursuing action on climate change.
