Where's The Hope??
Just read an article from Newscientist titled "China and India hold the world in balance". Very interesting facts:
(1) One in every two tonnes of cement poured today will be in China.
(2) China uses one-quarter of all the world’s steel, eats one-third of the world’s rice, and is the world’s largest importer of tropical timber and second largest importer of oil.
Guess who's the first?? Bloody American !!!
(3) China is now the second largest source of greenhouse gas carbon dioxide, while India is fourth.
Guess who's the first?? ....You're right !!!
(4) Worldwatch agrees with this, estimating the worldwide “ecological footprint” – the amount of resources needed to support each individual – of the average Chinese person at 1.6 hectares, the average Indian at 0.8 hectares.
The average US citizen's ecological footprint is estimated at a whopping 9.7 hectares !!!!
(5) If China’s economy continues to grow at the present rate, average Chinese incomes will reach current US levels by 2031. At that point “China would consume two-thirds of the world’s current grain harvest and twice the world’s current paper production".
What the heck ~~~~what will the world be???
Can technology solve the food and water crisis, environmental issue in future, i wonder?
Why not you give me a reason why don't we need God ???!!! I see no hope at all with human's approach.
