Mother Nature is planning to taking over the world in a few years, and I don’t want to think about what will happen when the takeover happens. After reading chapter one in the book, Peak Oil Survival: Preparation For Life After GridCrash, by Aric Mcbay, I started to think about the ways humans contribute to global warming. According to Mcbay, cheap fossil fuel has impacted the human species tremendously. Because of cheap oil, oil has decrease, but people try to take out that little bit of oil that is left and try to use it for a good purpose. However, people don’t understand that it takes a certain amount of oil to take out the last of it. In other words, every time someone uses oil, they are using twice the amount they were supposed to use in the first place. Furthermore, cheap fuel isn’t the only negative cause of global warming; psychology also plays a huge role in this world.
Psychology is a strategy that many people use to get others to believe in certain ideologies. According to the book, The Skill of Ecological Perception, by Laura Sewall, past experiences affect what many people think will happen in the future. This is a form of psychology that forces people to believe future events will happen. Moreover, psychology makes people believe that this earth will one day be over. However, I am a survivor, and I don’t plan on dying anytime soon.
