• W2012248276 abstract "Our biosphere encompasses the shared existence of all living organisms, including the human and animal populations on Earth. As such, it is something that must be kept healthy to maintain stable relations between humans and Earth. That common ground we tread and the social fabric we form should not be used for a global experiment, especially when the driving forces are human greed, stupidity, and the allure of profits. Should a select group of people be allowed to make money while destroying the biosphere and abusing other people? The human population presently increases by about 75 million annually, and our growing numbers have been assaulting renewable and non-renewable resources with selfish ferocity. That trend of consumption has been occurring for centuries, but as the human population skyrockets, the amassed hunger for resources is turning into an unstoppable craze—with profit as the primary goal. Child laborers are stripped of their rights. Several billion humans lack the basic resources to satisfy daily nutritional needs. Such people survive on a day-to-day basis, driven to scavenging, while affluent people drive inefficient vehicles to restaurants. A biosphere dominated by such greed resembles a careless, global experiment to see how far it can be taken. To what extent can people profit at the expense of contemporary suffering and the threat of widespread future suffering? This experiment is founded on all the wrong values. There is little justification for excessive consumption for the privileged while the poor have no access to resources. These resources are not to be snatched away by the wealthy; they belong to the Earth and all its people—not just the power-hungry classes. Greed for wealth in a growing population leads to exhaustion of those resources and irrevocable damage to the biosphere. The preservation and improvement of our biosphere is beyond the realm of politics and national agendas. It is about survival and improvement of the human situation, and protection and survival of other species. It is about evolution towards global peace and stabilization of universal human rights. It is about a sustainable human population that does not consume every resource on the planet. The big biosphere experiment has destroyed the fish stocks, laid bare the once vast reaches of forest, Water Air Soil Pollut (2010) 205 (Suppl 1):S53–S54 DOI 10.1007/s11270-007-9589-4" @default.
