makes me wonder…

I was listening to the radio the other day (as I do almost everyday…) and suddenly, With You started playing (Chris Brown, in case you were wondering…) and I thought of how much I liked that song a few weeks ago and now it just doesn’t seem that special anymore… and I thought nothing lasts forever, not even feelings… and this made me think of how the world would look like in a hundred/thousand/million years from now….

and I suddenly thought of Al Gore’s documentary, An Inconvenient Truth, about global warming and stuff (which really freaked me out – but a must see nonetheless) and thoughts started racing at the speed of sound (as they usually do, and it’s so hard to keep up… :-<)

and I thought…

if things go on like this, in a xxxxxx years from now, all the plants, vegetable, fruits that we depend on will have disappeared… animals too… soon, there will be no more life on earth… and all because of the almighty homo sapiens who never knew how to benefit from nature without destroying it… and Mother Earth will return to the cycle that began billions of years ago… at first there was water… and then things started evolving from it… only this time, it’ll probably take millions of years for the planet only to return to normal… but what will normal be like? cause this time, it’s not only earth and water, continents and oceans…. cause us humans are kind enough to leave so many things behind, so much concrete, metal and other materials that even if they eventually dissolve, it will have serious consequences…  if the evolution cycle starts all over again, it may not be humans the ultimate species…

or maybe humans will not disappear at all and we’ll be living in a world similar to the one Isaac Asimov invisioned in his novel The Caves of Steel.

I saw another documentary (if I may call it so) on TV, about a team of researchers and engineeres who think that the best solution to the global warming issue is the artificial tree (which is actually a huuuuge panel) who is supposed to absorb large amounts of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and then deposit it, most likely, deeply under the sea… and then what? what happens to all this CO2 that is gathered there? who guarantees that it will remain safely isolated there? maybe it’ll form another layer in the Earth’s core and have other devastating effects…   the Earth’s surface keeps moving and changing and maybe someday (thousands of years from now), at the wrong move all of that CO2 could burts out, just like a biiig burp from the Earth’s stomach… and then what?

yeah… I just let my imagination run wild so I’ll try to stop here… :D
