• SHOULD I BE WORRIED? - Climate change and depletion of natural resources, we hear about them a lot. Why should you be worried about it? When I get up, I find abundance of water to take shower, number of choices of clothes, deodorants to use, enough fuel to go to the office, enough money to buy clothes from Bangladesh, vegetables and fruits from Australia. I have a good life, because climate is changing in Africa or India,  somewhere very far, where I do not belong to. Anyway, what could I do about it? If sea level is rising, is it my fault? If kids are starving, is it my fault? Why should I be responsible for them? I do not snatch their bread and butter. I buy things because I pay for them, what’s wrong with that? I do not ask anybody to give me money and I work morning to evening for it so I have right to spend it in a way I want. I pay tax after my salary, I pay my bills on time, what else I should do? Now it’s the responsibility of the government to sort out these issues, that’s why we elect them. Most of us answer this way and move on! 
  • MY PAIN - My dear friends, every action we take from taking shower to buying from supermarket, even drinking coffee at a coffee shop, affects nature somewhere in the world.  The moment we turn on our aircon, maybe kills a tree somewhere in the world. The moment we are in the shower, it takes away the drinking water of a kid somewhere in the world.  We do not see it, because from morning to night we get easily everything, that’s why we do not really feel it.  
  • GOVERNMENTS -  They are also made of human beings, so they have water imported from France or Australia in their offices, in abundance, and well planned menu for lunch and dinner. Do you really think,  somebody in this position would care about a kid who has just died because he had no basic food and tap water for the last days? That’s all I have to say, please sit back for a minute and again think, why is all this happening.

Dwindling resources

If you are not as kindhearted as Imran above, be selfish and think about your own kids.
They will ask you about their inheritance, and money can't buy clean air, drinking water and warm breeze.

Air and water

We breathe poor quality air. Pollution doesn't respect borders between countries.
Water becomes scarce, and even if not, it becomes more and more expensive. Experts say the next wars will break out for water.
If you think water is not an issue in Hungary, think it again. 6% of water originates within the country, the rest comes from abroad.

Climate change

I would have never thought that a virus epidemic can do good to fight climate change. Due to the virus, crude oil demand went down by 24%. However its impact is only temporary.
Climate change brings more extreme weather events like heatwaves, floods, wildfires, heavy storms and droughts. Sea level rise already forces millions of people to relocate worldwide.

Food

Food production is heavily dependent on crude oil. There is no stage in food production without it: cultivating (fertizer, pesticides), processing, packaging (plastic), transporting and selling (fuel). After spending that much energy and work, 28% leftover ends up in bins.
Let's not even mention the food quality, which might be the cause of cancer, allergy and diabetes.

Nature

We are living in the sixth global extinction. This time mankind is the cause. 32% of vertebrate species has been shrinking in both numbers and area size. 2000 species disappear every year. Being sarcastic, with this rate we still have 1500 years to wipe out nature and ending up with the sole company of viruses and bacteria. Until they will finish us.
Answer

Everything is linked

► We are running out of water because of climate change.
► We have climate change because of excessive use of crude oil.
► We use too much crude oil because of the way we produce food.
► Climate change is speeding up because of the diminishing biodiversity.

So we have two main crises, energy and climate, and all the others are derivatives. Moreover these two are also interdependent. If we won't have energy crisis, I mean we find endless amount of crude oil reserves, then the climate crisis will run off and the Earth will be roasted. When we run out of fossil fuels, the global economy (mass production) will collapse.

All the other crises, like water shortage, migration, mass extinction are just derivatives from these two.

Nevertheless, we can expect either climate change or the crash of the global market, because we don't have endless resources. My bet is climate change, as governments are inert. In turn it will wreck the global economy, anyway. We can expect it in 30 years now.

There are places where the crisis is already a reality. Australia is burning. India is shriveling. England is crumbling.
