Ecosystem can fuck itself.

Why are trees being cut down? Why are fish being caught?

Because humans are greedy

Literally impossible, but keep up the gaslighting, bud.

thank you and hope you subscribe!

Funny, like using that fancy tech in order to type this, don't ya?

AMEN

Just an excuse for inaction.

Hell yeah

Defintely.

😂 She does have a beautiful voice that I could listen to for hours. I'm having trouble pinpointing her accent, though. Do you think it's Swedish? It seemed like she was using inclusive wording when talking about parts of Sweden, as though that is where she is from, but as an American I don't get enough exposure to the full gamut of European accents nearly often enough to know all of the minute distinctions that separate some of them.

Thank you !

I mean... it kind of really is. If you saw Earth from space a few hundred years ago, half of the planet would be pitch black. Now, the half that is supposed to be dark is instead thoroughly covered in an elaborate web of light. It's undeniable that we have caused the third (or maybe second) greatest mass extinction event in history after the asteroid that took out the dinosaurs, and maybe the ice age. Acting like this documentary, which is simply voicing cold hard facts, is somehow "lecturing" you is just a side effect of you being in a state of denial. It's also worth mentioning that no one is saying that everything is _specifically, _personally_ *your* individual fault, but that the majority of the problems that have caused these extinctions are absolutely a result of our _species'_ actions, and so we as individuals bear at least _some_ of the responsibility. Obviously, there are many decisions made by those in power that we disagree with, and that we have no control over, so don't beat yourself up too much hearing messages like those expressed in this documentary, just try to keep in mind the lessons it tried to teach you about how all environments have some sort of subtle, often indirect, abilities that help to mitigate or even prevent extreme weather events that would otherwise be catastrophic for all life in that area. Try not to feel so personally attacked just because our way of life is being described as problematic. Humans are not, and have never been, perfect. It may be hard to accept the fact that we have been (in some cases) unknowingly destroying entire species with our actions indirectly, but it will just continue to occur if we remain in denial and continue on our current trajectory.

I don't think it's farming that's necessarily the problem, it's the way that it's done, which is also not the farmer's fault as they usually live on razor thin margins. I think those scenes of harvesters/plows were just meant as a visual representation or example of how it's unnatural and problematic to replace a diverse ecosystem with massive monocultures. I think the elephant in the room when we talk about environment that _no one_ has been willing to address yet is the fact that there are already too many people on the planet, and we really do need to limit reproduction. It's a wildly unpopular idea, but there just is _not_ enough space for all of these ecosystems to healthily exist, without disturbance as they need, because there is not enough space that's far enough away from people for that to be realistic. If we want to maintain biodiversity, we must accept the fact that there are limits on how much of the planet we can reserve for ourselves in order for these other species to have any chance at all of survival.
