If you haven't noticed something... weird about the weather lately, you should leave the house more often...
Earth's climate is changing. Currently it's erratic, trying to adjust to the voracious exploit of natural resources and the constantly increasing temperature due to the greenhouse effect.
The problem is that Mankind was born and throve under certain conditions.
And these conditions are changing.
Weather phenomena have become wilder. Global temerature rises, as do sea levels. Available water and fertile soil are decreasing. Even the oxygen-producing trees are lessening in numbers.
What makes us think that we will continue to prosper under these new conditions?
Still, we go on raping the planet of its resources and pollute the environment, as if Earth will continue to nurture us indefinitely, no matter what we do, like a parent to a child.
But everything has its limits and where is action there is always reaction.
I'd say it's time we grew up. Not for the trees or the animals. Not for "the environment", but for our own species. For us and our children.
No hope, unless it's action.
