Some news agencies around the world have portrayed climate change as an enemy. Yet, it is we human beings who have become enemies to the Earth with our unnatural desires leading to high consumption of oil, plastics and heavy metals. The mining, marine, and oil & gas industry have always been a huge contributor to air and water pollution. Clearly it is human activities which have affected virgin forests, altered pristine coastlines and damage coral reefs. We need to assess the ways which we live with the knowledge of how our lifestyles (especially in cities) disrupt the Earth. Our hectic lifestyles centred around economic growth and national security have disrupted the planet. Are so many vehicles really necessary on the roads (posing a threat to animals crossing it)? Is the presence of a military base really worth the destruction of coral reefs which have taken centuries to grow? Fortunately all this is changing with more attention being paid to clean energy, bio-degradable plastics and electric vehicles. However, more needs to be done. Talents need to be honed and leaders groomed towards everlasting change required by mankind to live in sync with nature.
