96% of all mammals on the planet by mass are now humans, stated in a presentation by Attenborough 4 years ago needs to be repeated.
Humanity controls and regulates nature, but mostly we destroy by habitat destruction and toxic chemicals. Humanity has wiped out more life than the meteorite that slammed into the Gulf of Mexico 66 million years ago, but our future still depends upon nature.
Carbon mitigation is important, but it is also insignificant in relation to the damage we are inflicting on nature. Our future still depends upon nature and I refer to the microscope life of plants and animals that live in our Oceans, the plankton. They control our atmosphere and more than 80% of our weather, but we are also poisoning the oceans with plastic and toxic chemicals, and we seem to be fixated on carbon as being our savior, but it is now part of the problem.
All of nature on land and marine life in the oceans are connected in a complex web, we need to regenerate nature and increase biodiversity if we are going to have any chance of survival over the next few decades. With 96% of mammals humans and 70% of birds domesticated chickens, we are a long way from a diverse ecosystem.
