The Peak Oil survival: Preparation for life after grid crash story presents the effects of Global warming in an angle I have never seen before. Oil and natural resources are very scarce right now. As a result, life is changing economically, politically, socially, and naturally. Our contribution to global warming has set of a chain reaction of events that is quickly destroying the planet and changing the way we live. Weather patterns have been altered and the use of natural resources has destroyed land, trees and the atmosphere: through pollution. I found most interesting the information given from this excerpt about renewable energy. Finding methods to live a better life and decrease global warming is what environmentalists and people are working towards. However, according to this excerpt, everything we have done to “go green” is only good to a certain limit. For example, the “renewables” mentioned in the passage is great but it is not as effective as the natural resources. The “good” we have done will not last long and the economy will change: decrease. Furthermore, food will become scarce, products or necessities will be too much than we can afford and we will lose transportation because a lot of energy and space will be needed to create cars or trains. The fact that people’s movement towards preserving the earth is in reality not working is shocking. I am left wondering what exactly we can do to save the planet.
The Skill of Ecological Perception analyzes the psychology behind people’s way of living. The way people act; their behavior and their personalities are all what shapes people’s lifestyles and people’s contributions to global warming. Psychology is connected to culture and religion and these factors all play a role in how people view global warming and the destruction of the world. The perceptions of psychology are the guidelines that set people’s morals and will determine how and whether or not people will change their ways of living. Environmentalists have been working towards decreasing global warming, for example. As for the people unaware of the effects of global warming, they lack knowledge and needs to become aware. In addition, the people who do not care about global warming, needs to start caring because this is the major reason for global warming. The mind is everything and then comes culture and the surroundings. I hope we can find a solid way to preserve earth and decrease global warming because I do not want to and cannot think about the destructive predictions of the future and the world.
