I read your story with some dismay, that you seem so easily led to become resigned to doom.

Nature created everything we know from the energy of the sun, shining on Earth.

But it takes milllions of years.

Every person in history to date de-created some of what the sun created, to derive the energy they wished to take back out of it, in a matter of minutes, days, months, years, a human lifetime.

We used technology to accelerate the rate each human could do that, whilst at the same time hugely increasing our numbers.

At some point, the rate at which we de-created, multiplied by our numbers, began to exceed the rate at which nature was creating.

Now our numbers, assisted by technology, de-create at a rate which vastly exceeds the rate of creation by nature.

All we have to do to change this, is to reverse what we are doing, from de-creating, to creating, just like nature.

Again technology is the key which enables us to do that, if we choose.

And just like technology enabled us to de-create at a much higher rate than nature creates, technology enables us to create at a much higher rate than nature.

An example is hydrogen fuel, which can be generated by electrolysis in minutes per kg from the DC of solar panels, to give 24/7 power, and fuel which functionally replaces fossil fuels, with none of the pollution either in its production or consumption.

Another example is food.

There is an infinity of other examples, which will become apparent, when we start working in creative mode.

All we need to do to reverse the direction we are working in, is to stop extracting our energy from Earth, and start using the energy of the sun, for everything we do.

Then we are complementing nature, instead of working against it, in a way that all of our by-products become beneficial, rather than harmful, like pollution.

There has been damage done, energy depleted from the natural energies of Earth, including many species of life, vital to all life including ours, replaced by pollution deadly to all life including ours, but it isn't too late to change direction, and become a force that adds to, and complements nature, replacing much of what has been lost, with beneficial things we can create, to replace things lost.

Technology can be just as effective in making us more productive even than nature can be without us, as it was to make us more destructive than nature is creative.

But we won't do it, if we don't believe we can do it.

Clearly, you don't believe we can do it, which is fine.

But if you manage to influence a lot of others, like the books you read have obviously done, then we might well be doomed, like you say.

To me, that would be us dooming ourselves, just because we wanted to be doomed.

We have a debt to pay back to our planet.

It is a creation and energy debt.

The only way we can pay it back, is by using the energy of the sun.

We need all humans doing their bit towards that, with all of our tools of technology.

That is what we should be writing about, to try to encourage, rather than teaching how to resign ourselves to doom, it seems to me.
