Our Debt to the Plant

Frrankly I don't know what to say. We have destroyed our habitat and environment to an irrevocable extent. The rate of increase of global tempretures as shown in Al Gore's movie show that the condition of the planet is cronic. Even if the human race stops all the factories, cars, and power companies from today upto the next 50 years it would still be uncertain if the climatic conditions would improve. It is quite a grim fact but the human race has already crossed the line of no return and all that is left for us to do is to find some sort of refuge from the increasing heat. Many works of science fiction have talked about solutions ranging from builing a huge shell around the earth to building cities under the sea. Fantastic as these solutions might sound, they could be our only hope. If cities were constructed under the sea then humans would be able to escape from the heat, in addition they would live healthier lives free from pollution, from illness, from diseases. Also the sea has a lot of resources and minerals that must be explored and mined, perhaps the cities would be built around these resources as new settlements. In any case we have abused the earth enough already and if we were to return to the sea then we should do so with the intent of survival and not exploitation. There may otherways to escape the well deserved fury of nature but such a way must be found within the next decade, otherwise we will witness a great increase of diseases caused by solar radiation.
