Future Earth?

James Cameron believes otherwise.

The Humans will still not have learned their lesson.  If anything, it will only encourage them to continue on their current path, continuing to breed like tribbles and take whatever they can grab to sate their endless, boundless greed.  If the destiny of the Human race is to maraud through the universe taking and ruining planet after planet, then I want no part of it.

You are Human, you are apart of it regardless. that is why its up to us, and like minded individuals to stop the destruction of our Home, and to fix whats been done.
It can be done, but if you give up on trying, then we are all doomed.
1 person can make a huge difference...(James Camerons Avatar) let alone thousands of followers.

That's why the Human race needs to go under a reformation before spreading out into space. Dreamlight if you always think that the Humans can't change then you have given up. I will not give up on the human race, cause I know that we humans can change. You too are human Dreamlight, no matter what you think. I don't mean to be rude.

If Earth became Coruscant, that wouldn't be too good for anything.  

Maybe creating tall, underground, or underwater cities could work?

[Dreamlight]

Okay, let me get something clear with all of you.  Yes, I have given up.  The Humans are not listening, have not listened and will not listen.  All that we say, and all that we do, is a symbolic fight, and nothing more.  It is no more than a message to prosperity, so that no one can say nobody gave a damn.  The horse not only is dead, it has begun to stink to high heaven.  It is time to bury it.

Its a work in progress. Look at the cars starting to come out, electric.
Something changes every year for the good of Nature.
Yes, the Human race is always at war, its our Nature, and this planet has held up this long.

Things are changing, people are changing, so dont give up hope yet....It aint over, till its over......
Lead by example, if you give up...those who follow you will also give up.
If you persist, then those who follow you will persist.

Giving up leads to nothing.....I would rather try to make a difference my entire life, and die trying.....then to give up, and do nothing.
When others see you, they will follow.

You know what. I'm tired trying to convince you that we can change. It's your opinion.

No that's no good at all.

That's what a lot of architects are doing now or trying to figure it out.

Ooh, we could all be Jar-Jar Binks.

Have any of you read Popular Science that mentioned this problem as its main topic?

[Ean Hufwetulyu]

Ma smuke sì smukan, Tìtxur 'awpo is right. mankind has made great leaps into finding ways to protect our great mother, so please never give up hope. This is is why im in the feild of engineering. Sorry to say, if we just sit here and do nothing plus lose hope in making a change. Then our planet is doom. Think about it if our smuk gave up hope after the RDA destory Kelutral (hometree) then Pandora would be destroyed. No WE AS THE NA'VI must stand up and work together to protect our Great Mother from being turned into what we saw. For example, my team and i are working on an invention that will begin cleaning our air and rid us of dirty machines and technology.

[Dreamlight]

It is still too little, too late.

The way I see it, civilization is like a phoenix.  It my rise rise from its own ashes, but it must die completely first.  Maybe then, if there are any surivors, it can be built up in a way more suitable to Mama.  If there are no survivors, then so be it, and civilized life is a mistake that Mama will not make again.

[Human No More]

It could go either way. The next 10 years will really determine what happens. Myself, I doubt humans have the ability to work together as they need to.

[Tanhì-ean]

The human race is so divided. Nations, religion, race, and so on. The human race needs to come together for the future. I have been trying to figure that out myself on how to do that. I have several ideas, but their still in the 'i don't know' stage. Any ideas? Can you think of any Dreamlight?

Here's a quote I heard last night: If you have the power to do something, then shouldn't you use that power.
Another quote that goes along with the first one: You can only use that power if you have the will to see it to the end.
I probably butchered it somewhere along the lines, but you get my meaning.

[Human No More]

We have to do something, I'd say within the next 10 years maximum. Unfortunately, too many people are too self-interested, or only interested in what they're told by others. Those are the people we will need to change...

[Na'vin Nos'feratxu]

People do not change unless they want to.
It is true, the Human race is more self interested, rather than in helping one another.
But. Everyone is looking for a reason to change, no one is single minded, if something looks, feels and is better, than they change.

When the planet is at its breaking point, only then will people realize that all life is at stake, and something has to change.
Our race waits until the last minute to fix or change something that has an awful affect.

Srane, our race is divided by skin color, religion and culture. People want to be separate compared to others, they dont want to be alike.
Being different seems to be more appealing even if it causes pain and suffering.

The human race is destructive, dangerous and for the most part evil.
But.
The human race is not confined to these attributes.
We are all looking for a better life, and will spend our lives trying to live it. that is what everyone else is doing.
Money, is what runs the world, money is what everyone wants to be able to obtain their dreams.
When money fails, and inflation destroys the economy, money wont matter.

Its up to you to become skilled in living WITHOUT money, without modern convenience..
There will be a time when everything will come crashing down, and to be prepared for it, makes you the most powerful
person.
People will follow, learn and do what you teach them.
What you believe to be right, they will believe as well.

You can do this now, you can get others to follow you, simply showing what is right.
There are a lot of things I could point out, but Ive said to much already. lol

My point of all this...is you must LEAD people.
Be a leader, and they will follow.

[Tuteyä amuiä 'itan]

it is like they said in the movie "the day the earth stood still" it is only when something comes to a critical point that is when people try and change

[Na'vin Nos'feratxu]

Exactly, it was a day when nothing else mattered, but survival.
that day will come....

I'm inclined to agree with Dreamlight - we don't deserve another chance, we should make due with what we've already been given.

Honestly, its not the Earth Im worried about. The Earth will do just fine - its been bombarded by asteroids, suffered tectonic shift - I mean humans are no more than another disaster that will likely die out in the next million or so years, and then life will rebuild, evolve, as it always has. What we are doing, as a species, is ultimately destroying ourselves.

I have this awesome quote that I think goes well with this conversation from Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance:

"And now he began to see for the first time the unbelievable magnitude of what man, when he gained power to understand and rule the world in dialectic truths, had lost. He had built empires of scientific capability to manipulate the phenomena of nature into enormous manifestations of his dreams of power and wealth -- but for this he had exchanged an empire of understanding of equal magnitude: An understanding of what it was to be part of the world and not an enemy of it.

[Ean Hufwetulyu]

In order create change, one must start with one step.
Ma smuk here is my and our first step. i have put together a team of engineers to work on a new engine design called Blue Light and Cyclone. Blue Technology is the future. Tell everyone to google Pepsi refresh project. go under planet tab and look for Project Blue Star and vote. when we win the funds will allow us to make the second step to help begin healing our great mother.

I have to agree that civilizations rise and fall. The Earth of course will still be here when we are gone, until the sun swallows it up. So, instead of concentrating on the earth, we should concentrate on what we do as a species and try figure out how not to destroy ourselves.

Good quote.

[Toruk Makto]

There is a basic rule in medicine that "all bleeding stops, eventually". I am personally not all that concerned about the planet. The planet will be fine and Gaia will survive. The question is whether we will be around for it.
Before we can heal a planet, we have to heal ourselves.
Our latest generations have been raised to think that they are "special" and are entitled to unearned recognition and reward. This flies against any form of altruistic cooperation because there is no apparent or immediate payback. It is a philosophical shift away from meoauniaea and the rewards of community. This mindset is unsustainable and the corrective result will be equal and opposite to the "me first" ideal. This will be painful to many people.
