Implementing Democracy 1.01 in Iran

[Aliantha]

Clodd, while it's true that everything we began with is still here in some form or another, I don't think the gasses we create via pollution are going to be of any use to anyone in the future. I don't think the plastic products modern society is so fond of will be of any use to anyone other than as landfill. In theory your argument might work, but in reality, you must acknowledge that we are not using our resources in a sustainable manner, and even if we do start right now, in all likelihood we will not be able to create enough new technologies to counteract the damage done during the 20th century.

9th...I'm talking about non renewable resources such as fossil fuels, metals and minerals. I'm also talking about environments such as rainforests and rivers. The things we destroy during the process of living which we will not be able to replace during our lifetimes nor those of our children or grandchildren. When it all comes down to it, if we destroy all of our natural environments, then the simple process of cleaning our air will not occur. So to answer you question, while I don't necessarily believe we're actively killing ourselves off, I think the chain reaction in place because of our lifestyle is/will.
