Are We Really Endangering The Next Generation?


The world has changed. But is it irrevocable? Experts weigh in on what the future will really be like for generations to come. In the 1950s, industry and development catalysed the so-called Great Acceleration – a dramatic surge in human consumption and activity that continues to this day. Four generations have contributed to upward trends in population, wealth, movement, energy use, telecommunications and production with global impact. With only the past decade, we have seen catastrophic weather events, treatment-resistant disease and sociopolitical unrest. What are your thoughts LiveTribers? Are we really endangering the next generation?

    I believe that the next generation will have huge challenges to confront to keep the world habitable for themselves and their offspring. I don't see any point in blaming previous generations. The existential problems that we all experience are the results of technological and industrial advances that have enabled the human race to enjoy an unprecedented standard of living undreamed of by previous generations. But too much emphasis has been placed on the benefits with scant regards to the costs to the health of the environment. We need a total reevaluation of how we supply the needs and desires of an ever increasing population. And that is the elephant in the room that no one is willing to talk about; overpopulation. The world's finite resources cannot sustain an ever growing population. It's time this issue was tabled with complete transparency. Time is of the essence. The environment is already under huge pressure, climate change being the most obvious symptom of that. No action now guarantees us a world where human extinction is a real possibility.

    Agree with you, but doubt that the population will be dealt with by anyone. The last time it was tried was by China, and what a failure that turned out to be.

    The only thing we have to worry about is the billionaires trying to control us. WEF are planning their next move, so far the plans they made in the last 10 years are happening, with more to come. They will use climate change, plandemics, disease, wars, and everything else as an excuse to control us more. Start growing food folks, and start planning to be more self-sufficient and stop relying on Governments to save you, look after your health or provide you with everything you need. The eugenics of the world are determined to get rid of the useless eaters.

    As well as the U.N. forcing countries to be taken over by the adherents to the MURDEROUS IDEOLOGY of ISLAM!

    Yes, we are already in danger. Antibiotic resistance is the lesser known threat. Climate is the one we are not responding to effectively. Political unrest is rising but might come under control through social media regulation and limits on lobbying and campaign spending. Animal species like koalas and Magpie (birds) are under threat. Snow, rain, polar ice, oceans and rivers, and human blood including placentas all contain plastic. For me it's very like the end of the world, as we are playing catch up in so many areas and being delayed by Putin's war, food and energythreats and virus issues. I still try to have positive influence but see chances of success as 50/50 ie.50%

    Please google Medieval Warming Period then Little Ice Age, both in recent times and documented. Climate change is cyclical. Nothing to see here, move to the next emergency declaration.

    NO we are not endangering the next generation, the media and so called experts have brain washed the younger ones,look back at those that are experts and see what they said, dams would never fill again,and a lot of other rubbish, we will have climate change regardless ,the climate has ALWAYS changed and will keep changing.

    Are we really endangering the next generation? No more than the last generation did and no more than the next generation will.

    The world hasn't but people have. Yes, more drastic weather conditions but that's all. As for people, I'm referring to the next generation . . . and moving forward.

    "it was always burning since the worlds been turning" there will always be upsides and downsides to what we do. When or if we solve one problem another three will take its place. we only have on earth, take care of it as best we can and learn from our mistakes.

    Western life has never been safer, easier or less stressful. Imagine if you lived in sub Saharan Africa or the Ukraine. God knows we grizzle about buggerall. We've never had it so good. Stop being so bloody precious and negative!!!
