You aren't going to believe this. We humans are so selfish, even when we are trying to save the planet. We are such evil people, we are abusing the Sun! From the Sydney Morning Herald:HUMANS are just one of the millions of species on Earth, but we use up almost a quarter of the sun's energy captured by plants - the most of any species.
The human dominance of this natural resource is affecting other species, reducing the amount of energy available to them by almost 10 per cent, scientists report.
Researchers said the findings showed humans were using "a remarkable share" of the earth's plant productivity "to meet the needs and wants of one species".
They also warned that the increased use of biofuels - such as ethanol and canola - should be viewed cautiously, given the potential for further pressure on ecosystems.
OK, so first, we were supposed to not use oil because it was like icky and produced smoke. So we went to solar energy. Now, we are abusing the Sun and shortchanging plants. So, we use biofuels. Wait, that exterminates plants and puts pressure on ecosystems. So what do we use? Anyone?
Eventually, breathing will be illegal if you let these people have any validity.
