Cabbies in particular seem to like discussing the fate the Earth.
The fate of the living planet is the most important issue facing mankind.
I think we are bound to, and by, nature. We may want to deny this connection and try to believe we control the external world, but every time there's a snowstorm or drought, we know our fate is tied to the world around us.
Through no divine design or cosmic plan, we have inherited the mantle of life's caretaker on the earth, the only home we have ever known.
All things are connected. Whatever befalls the Earth, befalls the children of the Earth.
In fact, every child on earth born after June 23, 1988 belongs to what I call Generation Hot. This generation includes some two billion young people, all of whom have grown up under global warming and are fated to spend the rest of their lives confronting its mounting impacts.
One person can make all the difference in the world. For the first time in recorded human history, we have the fate of the whole planet in our hands.
Nature is indifferent to the survival of the human species, including Americans.
The wind is not helpless for any man's need, Nor falleth the rain but for thistle and weed.
We are going to inherit the earth; there is not the slightest doubt about that.
The world began without man, and it will complete itself without him.
Every once in a while I feel despair over the fate of the planet. If you’ve been following climate science, you know what I mean: the sense that we’re hurtling toward catastrophe but nobody wants to hear about it or do anything to avert it.
This, however, is a passing nightmare; in time the earth will become again incapable of supporting life, and peace will return.
