Our Planet Earth could be compared to a very well known but fictional planet. That planet is Krypton. The birthplace of Kal-El or as he is best known as Superman or Clark Kent. The planet of the Kryptonians is very similar to ours because of the cause as to why their planet perished. The cause is US. The very people of Earth are the ones that are dooming this planet. We are following in the footsteps of the Kryptonians and their fate. Except we probably won't have anyone to send to another planet where he will develop superpowers because our technology to date can't even produce clean energy without a horrible side effect let alone have a spacecraft capable of Faster-Than-Light Travel. The ultimate cause for our inevitable fate is not Mother Nature and her natural disasters. The real cause is our stubbornness and arrogance. We are to stubborn to acknowledge the fact that we cannot solve this problem by just using paper products and "eco-friendly oil". Even if we ban the use of plastic and broaden the uses for paper we would still be cutting down more grown trees than we could plant knew ones. Even if we could hope to plant
the same amount of trees we cut, it would not create that much oxygen and take in that much carbon dioxide because the trees we cut were grown trees and the ones that we would plant are only saplings. It is safe to say that our race will suffer the consequences of our actions and we shall die alongside our planet unless we take drastic measures or we achieve a breakthrough in technology which will give us the means to traverse the vast Sea of Stars which lies beyond our Solar System.
“I don't think the human race will survive the next thousand years, unless we spread into space.”
