Are we ruining the Earth because we need more and more places to live? [I Am Concerned About Climate Change]

@Londonn without us we have lost our humanity and chance for life here. Not really a good solution.

But reality/life is bigger than us little people

isn't it?

@Elevatorpitches yep.. not a good solution for [i]us [/i]maybe but for [i]it[/i], it worked great for million years :)

@Londonn hmfff

@SW-User So true instead of urban sprawl we can more effectively utilize the empty spaces in our cities. And AFFORDABLE housing too.

@JimboSaturn "affordable" is another thing many aren't caring about when adding dollars in their minds on how much they can make off a house or apartment buildings.
Some people...greed is what motivates.

@hippyjoe1955 thank you. I am not sure how much have traveled around the world. How many countries? I have lived in 3 continents and 5 countries around the world, have traveled to 4 continents and close 20 countries around the world, have been to over 30 states. I think I know how big the globe is.

Let's see where have you been to?

@aaaabbbb He hasn't been out of Alberta where Moose come into the city.

@Pitchblue Moose drive trucks in Alberta. Ford 150s

@Elevatorpitches

@MrBrownstone bunch of idiots they are. It take more water and trees to make paper.

@Stopmakingsense Yes the sand is removed in some mines. The oil is extracted and the sand is replaced. What else would you do with it? Too much to just leave lying there. However it is then reclaimed and the area is returned to its natural state. You should see the reclaimed areas. They are thriving with wildlife native to the area. Incredible. However there are more than one way to clean up the oil. They also extract it using steam and gravity. Nothing is disturbed and the area remains in its native state. Wolves, bear, deer, moose bison etc etc etc. You have been drinking the leftist doom and gloom koolaid for too long. You should come visit the area. You would have your eyes opened.

@hippyjoe1955 you should see the effect on the water table. You should see the effect on my area.

@Stopmakingsense Not where Canada is removing oil from sand. In some of the reclaimed mines there are stocked fishing ponds.

@hippyjoe1955 The Amazon for one. It's not imaginary.

@SW-User What?

@MrBrownstone Wha?

@SW-User She’s ok with people dying in car accidents but I’m not responsible.

@MrBrownstone Well, I'm not sure what that is about...and since I don't...I'd rather not take a side.

@SW-User I respect that. But thanks for letting me know what happened on this thread

@JimboSaturn It’s a fact that global population is decreasing/stabilised

@BalmyNites I hope you are right. I have heard projections as such.

@BalmyNites Hopefully as women all around the world become more empowered, they will be more than baby machines and over-populations will be less of a threat.

@hippyjoe1955 Plenty of areas on earth with no one living for miles.

@MrBrownstone And your point is????? The earth is not in danger or stress. Wildlife both plants and animals are greater in number than they have been for centuries. There is no mass die off or extinction event happening. The funny thing about forests is that they grow back. Great effort is spent fighting a forest fire but the fire is not destructive it is regenerative. Ever been through a forest recently burned? It is teeming with life. New plants all over the place and with it abundant animal life.

@hippyjoe1955 My point is we are not over populated
