Today is Earth Overshoot Day which means as of July 29, we have used up more ecological resources this year than the Earth can regenerate by the end of the year.
Humanity is currently consuming nature 1.75 times faster than the planet can regenerate and despite all the efforts of the Environmentalists, the date has moved forward by two months over the past 20 years with July 29 marking the earliest the date has ever been.
The United Nations have released a report, saying that humanity's pace of environmental destruction could endanger the ecological foundations of society and creating a global health emergency leading to millions of deaths from air pollution and water pollution.
Seems no matter how many warnings they get, how much extreme weather they see or how much scientific evidence is thrown at them, the people in power who could actually do something about the damage we are inflicting to the planet and ourselves, are just too selfish and moronic to do anything about it.
