Wow to say i am depressed would be a massive understatement. How am i supposed to feel like i can change anything anymore. In being in this class i was getting excited to further along my education in the environmental science field. I wanted to do my part to change the world. Apparently i am already to late.
In reading Bill McKibben's book i was completely floored with how helpless it seems we are. How is it possible that the frequency of hurricanes increased 75% in only 13 years! People can say what they want about global warming. Yes it's true that the earth goes through stages of warming and cooling but those stages have taken thousands of years to take place. It seems we have just completely made ourselves vulnerable to everything. Rising sea levels, diseases, freak weather storms. Nature is trying to fight back animals are sick of being pushed out of their environment they have to find somewhere to live. Like the mouse that police had to kill because it was living on the median strip on Route 128.
I am still at a lose what to think about this book. I was fascinated, disgusted and entranced. It literally made me want to yell at him and say no we wont give up! We can still do something to try and save us. We are the new generation your the old. It's our turn to take our earth back!
