Like I said, it's a people problem. Take money out of it and those who crave power, prestige and wealth, would substitute. People need basic necessities and the power hungry would seek to control those necessities as they do now. Society needs laws and regulations and the greedy will continue to seek ways to flout the law or to use it to their advantage. Witness countries without money and wealth, and corruption and oppression are rife as are prejudice and class distinctions.

The Fred Hollows Foundation is a group who volunteer their time and their skill at no charge and pay out of their own pockets to operate on the poor in the South Pacific who need eye surgery yet will never be able to access such of their own accord. It is true altruism and unselfish action by genuinely concerned people.

There is increased Sunspot activity, that is one factor, and the permafrost in Siberia has begun to melt. It is unstoppable and is releasing huge amounts of greenhouse gases that will affect the atmosphere. As I said, the global warming phenomenon may or may not be significantly affected by man's activities, but regardless, it is happening and yes, some will make profit from it. Again it is down to greed and short-sighted selfishness.
Who was it who cut down the last tree on Easter Island forcing the evacuation of it as no longer sustainably inhabitable? Didn't they know that cutting down the trees would lead to that? Didn't they see the destruction of the very environment they depended upon? Why didn't they stop and find an alternative that would allow them to remain there? Man is destroying the rainforests at the rate of a football field every second. So far, 90% of the forestation has been destroyed and no-one is going to stop it until it is all gone.
TV3 did a story a while ago showing satellite imagery of how much has gone. Scary stuff! Back in the early days of space exploration, astronaughts commented on how the Earth looked truly like a jewel in space, now they say it is a dirty looking jewel, nowhere near as pristine as it was 40years ago. Don't underestimate the ability of mankind to destroy himself.
You don't get to be an old dog without learning a few tricks.
Shorai Powersports batteries are very trick!
