There’s nothing we can do to save the planet

All that green stuff you're buying?  Not working.  The things you do to reduce your carbon footprint?  Not working.  The organic food you're buying?  Not working.

Face it.  Nothing we do to save the planet will work.  The mere fact that humans intervene already have unseen consequences.  This is the butterfly effect in real time. Everything we do causes something to happen to something or some creature.  Can we see it?  No.  Can we understand it?  Doubtful.  Can we control it?  Impossible.

But does this mean everything's hopeless?  Of course not.  It simply means we should enjoy our lives and live each day as it were our last.  Enjoy the moments.  Breathe everything in.  Have fun.  Experience life to its fullest without any worries or thoughts to the f! uture generations.

Earth and life are both dynamic organisms.  They will evolve and adapt.  Plants evolve and adapt everyday that they're alive.  New bugs?  No problem.  Plants will develop new toxins on their own to control the bugs or start living with the bugs in harmony.  It will be the same for humans and the other animals out there on this planet.  Atmospheric oxygen content lowering and carbon dioxide going up?  No problem.  Future generations will find oxygen toxic to their bodies as carbon dioxide is to ours now.

Life adapts.  Life evolves.  The more you worry about tomorrow today the less you can and will actually be doing anything that will matter.  In fact, nothing you do will stop the future.  Will it?  Consider this a prime conclusion.
